Flash: the indicator light flashes when
activated. (The indicator light will con-
firm this setting by flashing four times
per second.)
 Off: the indicator light is deactivated; in
other words, it does not come on or
flash. (The indicator light will confirm
this setting by flashing once every two
seconds.)
2. Push the “MODE” button to confirm the selected flashing pattern. The control
mode changes to the activation point set-
ting mode. The shift timing indicator light
remains on and the tachometer shows
the current setting r/min for the activation
point.
To set the shift activation point
TIP The shift timing indicator light activation
point can be set between 7000 r/min and
12000 r/min. The activation point can be set
in increments of 500 r/min. 
The tachometer needle will start over at
7000 r/min after 12000 r/min.
1. Push the “RESET” button to select the
desired engine speed for activating the
indicator light.
2. Push the “MODE” button to confirm the selected engine speed. The shift timing
indicator light flashes and the tachometer
shows the current setting r/min for the
deactivation point.
To set the deactivation pointTIP The shift timing indicator light deactivation
point can be set between 7000 r/min and
12000 r/min. The deactivation point can be
set in increments of 500 r/min.
 Be sure to set the deactivation point to a
higher engine speed than for the activation
point, otherwise the shift timing indicator
light will not come on.

EBU35660Flag pole bracketThis model is equipped with a flag pole brack-
et.NOTICEECB03010Do not use the flag pole bracket as a cargo
hook.
EBU36463Adjusting the front shock absorber as-
sembliesThe shock absorber assemblies are equipped
with a spring preload adjusting nut, a cross-
over adjusting nut (for YXZ10YESH), a re-
bound damping force adjusting screw (for
YXZ10YEXH), a high speed rebound damping
force adjusting bolt (for YXZ10YESH), a low
speed rebound damping force adjusting
screw (for YXZ10YESH), a high speed com-
pression damping force adjusting bolt, and a
low speed compression damping force ad-
justing screw.
WARNING
EWB04140Suspension components become hot
during operation. Never touch the com-
pression damping force adjusting bolt
and screw, the rebound damping force
adjusting bolt and screw, or the oil reser-
voir with your bare hand or skin until
suspension components have cooled.

Become familiar with the way the vehicle han-
dles in the various drive modes. Start off with
two-wheel drive “2WD”, then four-wheel drive
“4WD”, and finally four-wheel drive with the
differential locked “DIFF LOCK”. Steering
may take more effort in four-wheel drive with
the differential locked “DIFF LOCK”. Also
practice driving in reverse.TIPTake the time to learn basic operation of the
vehicle before driving at higher speeds or at-
tempting more difficult maneuvers.
Getting ready to ride
Perform the pre-operation checks on page
5-1. Follow the instructions on page 6-2 when
starting the engine.
Turning
Use care in turns — turning the steering wheel
too far or too fast can result in loss of control
or a rollover. Slow down before entering
turns. When making tight turns from a stand-
still or at slow speeds, avoid sudden or hard
acceleration. Driving aggressively or making
abrupt maneuvers even on flat, open areas
can cause side rollovers. Avoid sideways slid-
ing, skidding, or back-wheel sliding, and nev-
er do donuts. If you feel the vehicle begin to
slide sideways or the back wheels slide dur-
ing a turn, steer into the direction of the slide,
if possible, and gradually let off the accelera-
tor pedal to regain directional control and
avoid rollover. For example, if you feel the
back of the vehicle start to slide to your right,
steer to the right.

TIPIf a torque wrench is not available when in-
stalling the spark plug, a good estimate of the
correct torque is 1/4–1/2 turn past finger tight.
However, the spark plug should be tightened
to the specified torque as soon as possible. NOTICEECB02900Do not use any tools to remove or install
the spark plug cap, otherwise the ignition
coil coupler may be damaged. The spark
plug cap may be difficult to remove be-
cause the rubber seal on the end of the cap
fits tightly. To remove the spark plug cap,
simply twist it back and forth while pulling
it out; to install it, twist it back and forth
while pushing it in.
EBU35423Air filter maintenanceThis model is equipped with two air filter ele-
ments, a primary foam-type air filter and a
secondary paper-type air filter.
The primary air filter is easily accessed and
should be cleaned and oiled every 300–600
km (200–400 mi).
The secondary air filter is more difficult to ac-
cess, cannot be cleaned, and should be re-
placed by a Yamaha dealer every 2000–5000
km (1200–3000 mi).1. Primary air filter

Be careful that water or dust does not
enter the brake or YCC-S clutch fluid
reservoir when refilling. Water will signif-
icantly lower the boiling point of the fluid
and may result in vapor lock. NOTICEECB01161Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
or plastic parts. Always clean up spilled
fluid immediately. As the brake pads wear, it is normal for the
brake fluid level to gradually go down. A low
brake fluid level may indicate worn brake
pads or brake system l eakage; therefore, be
sure to check the brake pads for wear and the
brake system for leakage. A low YCC-S
clutch fluid level may indicate YCC-S clutch
system leakage; therefore, be sure to check
the YCC-S clutch system for leakage. If the
brake or YCC-S clutch fluid level goes down suddenly, have a Yamaha dealer check and
repair the vehicle before any further opera-
tion.
EBU36550Brake and YCC-S clutch fluid replace-
mentComplete fluid replacement should be done
only by trained Yamaha service personnel.
Have a Yamaha dealer replace the following
components during periodic maintenance or
when they are damaged or leaking.

Replace the oil seals every two years.
 Replace the brake and YCC-S clutch hoses
every four years.EBU36540YCC-S clutchThis model is equipped with a hydraulic
clutch, therefore, it is necessary to check the
YCC-S clutch fluid level and check the hy-
draulic system for leakage before each drive.
If the YCC-S clutch plates wear out, shifting
becomes rough or clutch slippage will occur,

Tighten the bead lock bolts to the specified
torque in a crisscross pattern.EBU32620Tire replacementAlways use the same size and type of tires
recommended in this owner’s manual. The
tires that came with your Yamaha YXZ1000Rwere designed to match the performance ca-
pabilities and to provide the best combination
of handling, braking, and comfort. It is best to
replace all four tires at the same time. If that is
not possible, you must replace the tires in
pairs (front or rear) with tires of the same size
and type as the origin
als. Never replace just
one tire.
WARNING
EWB03390Installing improper tires on your Yamaha
YXZ1000R can affect handling and stabili-
ty. This can cause a loss of control. The tires listed below have been approved by
Yamaha Motor Manufacturing Corporation of America for this model.
