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. Check country laws for minimum age requirements.
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.
