Yamaha RMAX Cab Enclosure Guide: Hard vs Soft Enclosures for 2 and 4 Seaters

Yamaha sells separate hard and soft enclosure components for the two-seat Wolverine RMAX2 1000 and four-seat RMAX4 1000, and a complete hard cab costs thousands more than soft covers because it adds glass doors, locks, and a wiper-equipped windshield.

A full hard cab for a Wolverine RMAX is not one box you order — it is a stack of model-specific parts that only fit together if every piece matches your seating configuration. Buy the wrong rear window and the rest of the package stops working with it. That is the decision in front of you: how much weather protection you actually face, and how much you are willing to spend to get it.

What Does A Complete Hard Enclosure Actually Include?

A complete hard enclosure for the RMAX consists of four matching pieces: the hard front cab door kit, a rear glass or rear-door kit, the Yamaha glass windshield with wiper and washer, and the correct suntop.

Everything behind the seats splits by seating configuration, and Yamaha sells the RMAX2 package bundled as Hard Cab Enclosure Package (RMAX2), part ENCL-RM2, which combines the front doors, the sliding glass rear window (B4M-K750A-V0-00), and the glass windshield with wiper and washer (B4J-F83J0-T0-00).

The RMAX4 builds its rear differently. It uses a Hard Cab Rear Door Kit (BYP-K85A0-V0-00) and a Flip-Up Rear Glass Window (B4J-K750A-T0-00) instead of the RMAX2’s sliding rear window. Those rear components do not interchange between the two vehicles.

Yamaha’s hard doors carry tinted tempered glass, three window positions — closed, vented, and fully open — dual-cast inside/outside latches, an outside keyed lock, storage pockets, and integrated speaker-pod mounting points. The speaker mounts are provisions only; the left and right speaker-pod assemblies are sold separately with six 901-19062-26 bolts each, and the side view mirrors and their mounts are separate items too.

RMAX Enclosure Options: Hard And Soft Parts Compared

The table below pairs the hard and soft options by vehicle so you can see the parts and prices side by side.

Yamaha notes that all prices exclude tax, shipping, fees, destination charges, registration, and dealer-installed options, and that dealer pricing and specifications can change without notice. For a wider look at the parts that make a RMAX more livable, this tested Yamaha RMAX accessory roundup covers the add-ons most owners buy first.

Which Enclosure Fits Your Riding?

Hard enclosures win for frequent winter riding, rain, dust, and security; soft enclosures win on cost, weight, and how fast you can pull them off.

The hard system is glass, rigid doors, integrated latches, a keyed lock, and a windshield with wiper and washer — that is a sealed cab, and it is priced like one. It is also heavier and slower to remove, and it demands the exact model-specific rear window, rear door, roof, and windshield combination for your vehicle.

Soft parts are covers and windows rather than rigid structure: Yamaha lists soft side covers, soft upper door windows, and a soft rear window as separate components, not one universal kit. Treat a soft setup as a weather shield you fit and pull for the season, not as a hard cab substitute.

Yamaha publishes vehicle-level owners and accessory documentation for torque values, fastener locations, adjustment, and windshield and wiper wiring; follow it rather than a generic sequence, since the supplied parts information does not include an installation manual. Before ordering, confirm model year, seating, trim, and roof — the configurators separate RMAX2, RMAX4, and RMAX4 Compact. Full specifications live on the Hard Cab Enclosure Package (RMAX2) page.
