Yamaha Phazer YXR CLUTCH INSPECTION

This is the clutch that came on the 1992 and up Phazer 2, the Mountain Light, V-Max, and the Mountain Max, I think they call this the YXR, it was the next clutch after the famous YPZ we see on the older Phazers

Pre 1992's had the YPZ , then the YXR & then came the YVX to current .
Some YXR's have buttons & some have the white teflon inserts .

I’m most familiar with the ypz, so mostly work on 84-91 Phazers, the yxr in 1992 I’ve worked on but not much, after that like the yvx I’ve never had off a sled and beyond that I have no idea. Thanks for posting that, it’s good info. What year did phazer quit using yxr?

Was the YXR on the pogo Vmax?

[@phazerworld6300]

Mitch yes, the YXR is also on the V-Max pogo, so even more widely used than I stated, thanks for commenting about that, and I’ll edit my description

I have a 97 600xtc and this clutch looks the same??? What is the torque on the main bolt? Any help is appreciated.

[@phazerworld6300]

Honestly I don’t know, I just use an impact wrench to put them on and don’t worry to much about it.

[@shooter1817]

there is an easier way...turn and push the back sheave to slide back helix and it will open up to easily remove belt.

[@phazerworld6300]

Definitely! I haven’t mastered that way quite yet, it seems to take a bit more hand strength but I’ll keep trying.
