SAFETY INFORMATION

EBU35581

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

Page 29

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

• 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

Page 30

• 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-

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

Page 31

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 back-wheel sliding, 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.

2-4

Page 32

• 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

Page 33

 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.

2-6

Page 34

 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.

2-7

Page 35

Aftermarket tires and rims

The tires and rims that came with your YXZ1000R were designed to match the performance capabilities and to provide the best combination of handling, braking, and comfort. Other tires, rims, sizes, and combinations may not be appropriate. Refer to page 8-55 for tire specifications and more information on replacing your tires.

Gasoline and gasoline vapors are extremely flammable. To avoid fires and explosions and to reduce the risk of injury when refueling, follow these instructions.

1. Before refueling, turn off the engine and be sure that no one is sitting in the vehicle. Never refuel while smoking, or while in the vicinity of sparks, open flames, or other sources of ignition such as the pilot lights of water heaters and clothes dryers.

2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Because fuel expands when it heats up, heat from the engine or the sun can cause fuel to spill out of the fuel tank.

3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.

4. Be sure the fuel tank cap is closed securely.

EWB02532

Gasoline is poisonous and can cause injury or death. Handle gasoline with care. Never siphon gasoline by mouth. If you should swallow some gasoline or inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or get some gasoline in your eyes, see your doctor immediately.

Page 90

If gasoline spills on your skin, wash with soap and water. If gasoline spills on your clothing, change your clothes.

Your Yamaha engine has been designed to use regular unleaded gasoline with a research octane number of 91 or higher (95 or higher for Europe). If knocking or pinging occurs, use a different brand of gasoline or premium

unleaded gasoline. Unleaded fuel will give you longer spark plug life and reduced maintenance cost.

Recommended fuel:

Regular unleaded gasoline only For Europe: Regular unleaded gasoline only with a research octane number of 95 or higher

Fuel tank capacity:

34.0 L (8.98 US gal, 7.48 Imp.gal)

There is never a more important period in the life of your vehicle than the period between 0 and 20 hours. For this reason, we ask that you read the following material carefully. Because the engine is brand new, you must not put an excessive load on it for the first several hours of operation. During the first 20 hours, the various

parts in the engine wear and polish themselves to achieve the correct operating clearances. During this period, prolonged full-throttle operation or any condition that might result in excessive engine heating must be avoided. However, momentary (2–3 seconds maximum) full-throttle operation under load does not harm the engine. Each full-throttle acceleration sequence should be followed with a substantial rest period for the engine, by cruising at lower r/min so the engine can rid itself of the temporary build-up of heat. If any abnormality is noticed during this period, consult a Yamaha dealer.

0–10 hours:

Avoid prolonged operation above 5300 r/min. Allow a cooling-off period of 5 to 10 minutes after every hour of operation. Vary the speed of the vehicle from time to time. Do not operate it at one set throttle position.

10–20 hours:

NOTICE

Avoid prolonged operation above 6300 r/min.

After break-in:

The vehicle may now be operated normally.

Starting the engine

1. Turn the key to “ ” (on).

ECB02291

The coolant temperature warning light and engine trouble warning light should come on, then go off. The EPS warning light should come on, then go off when the engine is started. To avoid possible damage, do not operate the vehicle if a warning light does not work as described above.

2. Press the brake pedal.

3. Shift the transmission into neutral.

 When the transmission is in the neutral

position, the transmission gear display shows “N” and the neutral indicator light should come on.

 The engine can be started in any gear if

the clutch pedal is applied. However, it is recommended to shift into neutral before starting the engine.

4. With your foot off the accelerator pedal, start the engine by turning the key to “ ” (start).

If the engine fails to start, release the key, and then try starting it again. Wait a few seconds before the next attempt. Each attempt should be as short as possible, to preserve battery energy. NOTICE: Do not crank the engine

more than 5 seconds on each attempt, or starter damage could occur. Wait at least 5 seconds between each operation of the electric starter to let it cool.

[ECB02140]

Do not turn the key to the “ ” (start) position with the engine running; otherwise, damage to the electric starter may result.

Shift lever operation and reverse driving

This vehicle has a 5-speed forward and 1speed reverse transmission. The transmission allows you to control the amount of pow-

er you have available at a given speed or for starting, accelerating, climbing hills, etc. To shift into neutral, release the accelerator pedal, apply the clutch, and then repeatedly move the shift lever forward until it stops. When it stops, it will be in first gear. Move the shift lever rearward slightly to reach the neutral position, and then release the clutch.

1. Shift lever

2. Neutral position

ECB03040

 Even with the transmission in the neutral

position, do not coast for long periods of time with the engine off. The transmission is properly lubricated only when the engine is running. Inadequate lubrication may damage the transmission.

 Always use the clutch when changing

gears. The engine and drivetrain are not designed to withstand the shock of forced shifting and can be damaged by shifting without using the clutch.

To start out and accelerate

1. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal, apply the brake, and then release the parking brake if applied. NOTICE: Al-

ways take your foot off the accelerator pedal before shifting gears, otherwise damage to the engine and drivetrain may result.

[ECB02930]

2. Press the clutch pedal to disengage the clutch.

3. Shift into first gear by moving the shift lever forward. (The transmission gear display will show “1” when the transmission gears have properly engaged.)

4. Release the brake pedal.

5. Press the accelerator pedal gradually and at the same time, release the clutch pedal slowly.

6. Once the vehicle has attained adequate speed, release the accelerator pedal, and at the same time, quickly press the clutch pedal.

7. Shift the transmission into second gear. (Make sure not to shift the transmission into neutral.)

8. Press the accelerator pedal gradually and release the clutch pedal slowly.

9. Follow the same procedure when shifting to the next higher gear.

To decelerate

When slowing down or stopping, release the accelerator pedal and press the brake pedal smoothly and evenly. As you slow down, shift to a lower gear. Be sure that the engine has sufficiently slowed before engaging a lower gear. Improper use of the brake or shifting

can cause the tires to lose traction, reducing

WARNING

control and increasing the possibility of an accident.

EWB00712

Make sure the engine has sufficiently slowed before shifting to a lower gear. Engaging a lower gear when the engine speed is too high could make the wheels stop rotating and lose traction. This could

cause loss of control, an accident and injury. It could also cause engine or drivetrain damage.

Recommended shift points

The recommended shift points during acceleration and deceleration are shown in the table below.

Shift up points:

1st → 2nd: 19 km/h (12 mi/h) 2nd → 3rd: 33 km/h (21 mi/h) 3rd → 4th: 44 km/h (27 mi/h) 4th → 5th: 53 km/h (33 mi/h)

Shift down points:

5th → 4th: 30 km/h (19 mi/h) 4th → 3rd: 17 km/h (11 mi/h)

To drive in reverse

EWB03300

Before you shift into reverse, make sure there are no obstacles or people behind you. When it is safe to proceed, go slowly. Hitting an obstacle or person could result in serious injury or death.

1. Stop the vehicle and continue to apply the brake pedal.

2. Check behind you.

3. Press the clutch pedal, and pull the reverse gear lock lever.

4. Shift the transmission into reverse.
