d’une perte de contrôle, d’un capotage ou d’un accident quelconque.
Charge maximale dans la caisse : 136 kg (300 lbs)

pourrait nuire soudainement à la maniabilité ou être projeté
vers l’avant et heurter un occupant.
– Répartir le poids de la charge de façon équilibrée et le plus
bas possible dans la caisse; une charge mal équilibrée augmente
le risque de capotage.
Lors du transport d’une charge :
– Réduire la vitesse et prévoir une distance de freinage accrue.
– Négocier les virages progressivement et lentement.
– Éviter les pentes et les terrains accidentés.

Be a responsible owner
As the vehicle’s owner, you are responsible for the safe and proper operation of your Yamaha
YXZ1000R. While understanding all parts of this manual are important for vehicle ownership, be
sure to read this chapter and the instructions in Chapter 7 before operating your Yamaha
YXZ1000R. Also use these two chapters and the labels on the vehicle to instruct new operators
and passengers. Do not allow anyone else to operate your vehicle or ride as a passenger if you
are unsure whether he or she is willing and able to follow these instructions.
Get to know your vehicle
This off-road vehicle will handle and maneuver differently from cars, ATVs, go-carts, golf-cars
and grounds-keeping vehicles. Follow these instructions to reduce your risk of an accident and
to reduce the risk of serious injury or death in the event of an accident.
2-1
Before you operate your Yamaha YXZ1000R
Prepare yourself and your passenger:
• This vehicle is intended for use only by an operator 16 or older with a valid motor vehicle license.
DRIVER
UNDER
16
• This vehicle is designed to carry the driver and one passenger. Never carry passengers in
the cargo bed.
• Both driver and passenger should wear seat belts properly.
• Both driver and passenger must be able to put both feet flat on the floorboard while seated
upright with their backs against the backrests. Passenger must be able to reach and hold
the passenger handhold in front of them.
• Both driver and passenger should wear an approved motorcycle helmet that fits properly.
Both driver and passenger should also wear eye protection (goggles or a face shield), gloves,
over-the-ankle boots, long-sleeved shirt or jacket, and long pants.
2
2-2
• Do not drive or ride as passenger after using drugs or alcohol.
Prepare your vehicle
Perform the pre-operation checks each time you use the vehicle to make sure it is in safe oper-
2
ating condition. Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an
accident or equipment damage. See page 5-1 for a list of pre-operation checks.
Prepare your load
Carrying heavy or over-sized loads can affect handling, stability, and cause the risk of overturns
or other accidents.
Read “Loading” on page 6-9 before loading the cargo bed.
Do not overload the vehicle or cargo bed.
Refer to the labels on the vehicle for specific loading limits and recommended tire air pressure.
Keep heavier objects and the load in general centered side to side, and as low and as far for-
ward in the cargo bed as possible.
Secure cargo so that it will not shift – a loose load could change handling unexpectedly or be
thrown forward and strike occupants.
This vehicle is not designed to tow or pull objects. Towing a trailer or pulling another vehicle or
other object will affect handling, stability, and increase the risk of overturns and accidents.
Towing or pulling can also cause frame and vehicle damage.
2-3
While using your Yamaha YXZ1000R
Keep your body completely inside the vehicle at all times. Keep both hands on the steering
wheel except when operating the shift lever. Be sure the passenger is seated, belted, and holding onto the passenger handhold. Close doors before driving. Any part of your body (arms,
legs, and head) outside the vehicle can be struck by objects your vehicle is passing or crushed
by the vehicle itself in a rollover accident.
Watch for branches, brush, or other hazards that could enter the vehicle.
Abrupt maneuvers or aggressive driving, even on flat, open areas, can cause loss of control,
including rollovers. The YXZ1000R has higher ground clearance and other features to handle
rugged terrain, and, as a result, can overturn in situations where some other vehicles may not.
Avoid rollovers:
• Use care when turning:
• Turning the steering wheel too far or too fast can result in a rollover.
• Avoid sideways sliding, skidding, or fishtailing, and never do donuts.
• Slow down before entering a turn and avoid hard braking in a turn.
• When making tight turns from a stop or at slow speeds, avoid sudden or hard acceleration.
2
2-4
2
• Drive straight up and down inclines, not across them. If crossing a hill is unavoidable, drive
slowly and turn downhill immediately if you feel the vehicle may tip.
• Avoid paved surfaces. Turn gradually and go slowly if you must drive on pavement. This
vehicle is designed for off-road use only.
If you think or feel that the vehicle may tip or roll, keep your body completely inside the protec-
tive structure of the vehicle:
• Brace yourself by pressing your feet firmly on the floorboard and keep a firm grip on the
steering wheel or passenger handhold.
• Do not put your hands or feet outside of the vehicle for any reason. Your arm or leg could be
crushed.
• Do not try to stop a vehicle tipover using your arm or leg.
Do not operate this vehicle on any public street, road, or highway, even if dirt or gravel.
2-5
Do not operate the vehicle in fast-flowing water or water deeper than 39 cm (15 in). If you must
cross shallow, slow-moving water, choose your path carefully to avoid sharp drop-offs, large
rocks, or slippery surfaces. Operating this vehicle through deep or fast-flowing water can lead
to loss of control or overturn. To reduce your risk of drowning or other injuries, use care when
crossing through water.
When loaded with cargo:
• Drive more slowly than normal and allow more room to stop.
• Avoid hills and rough terrain. Use caution when carrying a load up or downhill.
Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning
All engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can
cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confusion, and eventually death.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas which may be present even if you do not
see or smell any engine exhaust. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can collect rapidly and you
can quickly be overcome and unable to save yourself. Also, deadly levels of carbon monoxide
can linger for hours or days in enclosed or poorly-ventilated areas. If you experience any symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, leave the area immediately, get fresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT.
Do not run engine indoors. Even if you try to ventilate engine exhaust with fans or open win-
dows and doors, carbon monoxide can rapidly reach dangerous levels.
Do not run engine in poorly ventilated or partially enclosed areas such as barns, garages, or
carports.

Do not run engine outdoors where engine exhaust can be drawn into a building through open-
ings such as windows and doors.
Genuine Yamaha Accessories

Choosing accessories for your YXZ1000R is an important decision. Genuine Yamaha Accessories, which are available only from a Yamaha dealer, have been designed, tested, and approved
by Yamaha for use on your YXZ1000R.
Many companies with no connection to Yamaha manufacture parts and accessories or offer other modifications for Yamaha vehicles. Yamaha is not in a position to test the products that these
aftermarket companies produce. Therefore, Yamaha can neither endorse nor recommend the
use of accessories not sold by Yamaha or modifications not specifically recommended by
Yamaha, even if sold and installed by a Yamaha dealer.
Aftermarket parts, accessories, and modifications
While you may find aftermarket products similar in design and quality to genuine Yamaha Accessories, recognize that some aftermarket accessories or modifications are not suitable because
of potential safety hazards to you or others. Installing aftermarket products or having other modifications performed to your YXZ1000R that change any of the vehicle’s design or operation characteristics can put you and others at greater risk of serious injury or death. You are responsible
for injuries related to changes in the vehicle.
