Yep, the Yamaha is set up just like a car or truck with a drive line. If you drive a SXS with a belt smartly a belt will go many miles, I just changed mine at 1500 miles because I felt bad for going so long. Polaris say's every 500 miles but I've never felt the need or blown one. I have a spare on the car and can change one in about 15 minuets. .
I like the fact that the Yamaha has a drive line but for a lot of stuff I do like rock crawling and other slow stuff the Polaris works better. In the desert I thing the Yamaha is a top pick.

Up dates on Yamaha sxs 1000 ss. Now have 2,000 off road miles. So far so good in between dirt bike riding . A gas to drive gets average 20 mpg. All hand made mods holding up well. Will need second oil change I do trans oil same time. It's a pain to service removing skid plates. Lady in house no longer will drive it. Happy with me driving all the time. As if she drives I don't use seat belt. So I can jump out :):)
