Performance
* 3-Cylinder Genesis 120FI engine
Our Genesis 120FI is the next generation of trail cruising powerplants. Designed from the start to be the ultimate trail engine package, the 120FI delivers simplicity, fuel economy and great
performance. The advanced fuel injection system automatically keeps it running at maximum output and fuel efficiency for the conditions. It also offers our Engine Braking Reduction System (EBRS) to
let the sled freewheel when you let off the throttle.
* Advanced fuel injection
The Genesis 120FI uses Yamahas advanced fuel injection system to control fuel flow to the engine. Consumers enjoy the engines hassle-free, spot-on performance and throttle response as a
result of the advanced electronic fuel injection system.
* Engine Braking Reduction System
The Genesis 120FI features the unique Engine Braking Reduction System. The system allows a small amount of air to pass through the fuel injection system when the throttle is released, giving
riders a smooth coast feeling.
* Direct-to-crankshaft clutching
Instead of using a gear reduction, the Genesis 120FI engine has the primary clutch directly attached to the crankshaft. This eliminates parts, complexity and weight, resulting in a better
product for consumers. It also allows the engine to be mounted deeper in the chassis to deliver a lower center of gravity, further improving the sleds cornering stability. The YVXC primary spins at
8000 RPM to transfer power from the engine to the secondary and on to the track.
* 15x144x1.25-inch Camoplast Rip Saw track
The Camoplast Rip Saw track is a standard feature on the RS Venture GT. It has been widely acclaimed in the industry as the best all around OEM track for acceleration, cornering bite and
everyday trail usage. The Rip Saw track is the result of a collaborative effort between Yamaha and Camoplast.
* Rear-exiting exhaust
The exhaust is routed out the back of the sled in order to optimize and maximize airflow through the engine. The tuned system is specifically engineered to produce the Genesis 120 FIs broad
powerband and also to help keep the sled in balance.
Handling
* Deltabox II with comfortable rider-forward position
The primary design objective of the Deltabox II chassis was to create a comfortable rider-forward posture. The ergonomic treatment is achieved by locating the handlebars and seated position
high and forward on the chassis. With this positioning, the rider can go from sitting to standing and back again easily and comfortably. It also further centralizes the combined mass of sled and
driver, for razor-sharp handling.
* Second generation front suspension geometry
The geometry of the second generation front suspension features short spindles and long A-arms. The suspension was engineered to deliver excellent cornering stability and consistent turning
effort throughout its travel stroke. It delivers 9 inches of vertical travel and sets the skis at 42 inches. Steering is consistent, because the spindle caster is maintained at a constant 23
degrees.
* GYTR dual-clicker front shocks
Lightweight premium GYTR dual-clicker shocks offer riders the highest level of tunability on the market with 12 clicks of compression AND 20 clicks of rebound damping. Large, glove-friendly
knobs make adjustments easy. The piggyback reservoir gives the shock increased fade resistance in periods of intense use.
* CF die cast construction
Yamahas Controlled Flow casting technique is used for many of the structural pieces on the chassis. The CF process draws the molten metal into the mold under a vacuum, reducing the formation
of air bubbles in the material. As a result, pieces can be made much thinner and still deliver the strength characteristics of a conventionally cast, thicker piece.
* Saddleless plastic skis
The saddleless plastic ski offers low unsprung weight and its aggressive keel design provides strong bite to help the RS Venture GT corner.
Comfort
* ProComfort CK rear suspension
The ProComfort CK rear suspension is designed to deliver a very plush ride with great anti-bottoming performance. The skid carries a high-tech 40mm HPG clicker shock on the rear arm for
simple adjustability from one rider to two. The suspension also features a new style of wheel, with replaceable bearings and a trick-looking spoke design.
* Wheels with removable bearings
The newly designed wheels make the ride smooth and make maintenance easy. Now when the bearings need to be replaced you dont have to purchase a whole new wheel, just remove the old bearings
and insert the new ones. The wheels also include a new spoke design and a rubber rim that make for a comfortable riding experience. This new design will be implemented on the rear large wheels as
well as the internal smaller wheels.
* Fully adjustable back rest
The back rest on the RS Venture GT is fully adjustable. A simple lever release allows you to move the whole backrest forward or rearward for solo or two-up riding. It also has a rotational
adjustment to set the cushion for personalized comfort. In addition to the back rests adjustability, the passengers heated grips offer two height options for a comfortable ride.
* Large integrated hardtop storage trunk
The RS Venture GT has a new cavernous cargo storage trunk. The hardtop lid is beautifully integrated into the overall body sculpting and features a weather-resistant gasket to help keep snow
dust and moisture out of the trunk.
* Wide runningboards with star-punched traction
The Apex GTs wide runningboards feature star-punched traction throughout their entire length. The boards also have an outer traction roll for additional sure footing. As an added benefit,
the traction holes help evacuate snow and slush from the runningboard.
* Dual DC outlets
The RS Venture GT offers two styles of DC outlets. It comes with a standard automotive-style outlet for cell phones, GPS or other electronics accessories. And it also comes standard with an
RCA-style plug near the left hand grip to power up heated helmet visors or other small-plug accessories. The larger stator on the engine cranks out an additional 70 watts of power compared to the
previous model, so is plenty of power on tap for both systems.
* Standard electric start
Yamahas electric starter system allows consumers to fire up their RS Venture GT with the turn of a key. There is no pulling on a nylon cord to get this high-tech engine growling! Electric
start is a standard feature on all of Yamahas 4-stroke machines.
* Digital gauge with even more data features
The RS Venture GT features a digital gauge array that displays a wide variety of data. In addition to standard readouts like speed, engine RPM, barometric measurements, dual trip meters and
a clock, the new RS Venture gauge also has an oil trip readouts which tracks when its time for an oil change and fuel trip readout which displays how many miles youve gone since the fuel light came
on.
* New graphic packages
The RS Venture GT comes in two graphic packages; candy red as well as a new Yamaha black. These awesome designs produce one of the best looking sleds on the snow.
