AVERTISSEMENT
Une pression de gonflage incorrecte des pneus ou la
surcharge du véhicule risquent de provoquer une perte
de contrôle ou un capotage, entraînant des
blessures, voire la mort. Ne jamais régler la pression de gonflage ni la
laisser baisser sous le seuil minimal; le pneu risque
de se déjanter.

• 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 th e 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 hand ling, stability, and cause the risk of overturns
or other accidents.
Read “Loading” on page 6-11 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 cent ered 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, an d increase the risk of overturns and accidents.
Towing or pulling can also cause frame and vehicle damage.

rect if necessary. (See page 8-45.)
Check the operation of the drive select lever
and shift paddles at the start of each drive.TIPIf the YCC-S clutch fluid level was low, be
sure to check the clutch system for leak-
age.
If any leakage is found, or if shifting is not
smooth, have a Yamaha dealer service the
vehicle. EBU35700Fittings and fastenersAlways check the tightness of chassis and
wheel fittings and fasteners before starting
off. Take the vehicle to a Yamaha dealer or re-
fer to the Service Manual for correct tighten-
ing torque.
EBU31840Instruments, lights and switchesCheck that all instrument s, lights and switch-
es are working properly. Correct if necessary.EBU31851Control cablesWhen driving in cold weather, always make
sure all control cables work smoothly before
starting off. WARNING! Control cables can
freeze in cold weather and you could be
unable to control the vehicle.

TiresCheck tire pressure regularly to make sure it
is at the recommended specifications. Also
check for wear and damage.
Tire pressure
Use the tire pressure gauge to check and ad-
just tire pressures when the tires are cold. Tire
pressures must be equal on both sides.
WARNING! Operation of this vehicle with improper tire pressure may cause severe

injury or death from loss of control or roll-
over. Tire pressure below the minimum
specified could also cause the tire to dis-
lodge from the rim under severe driving
conditions.
[EWB03960]
Set tire pressures to the following specifica-
tions:
Recommended tire pressure:Vehicle load:0 - 195 kg (0 - 430 lb)Front: 114.0 kPa (1.140 kgf/cm², 16.5 psi)
Rear: 128.0 kPa (1.280 kgf/cm², 18.5 psi)
Vehicle load: 195 kg - maximum (430 lb - maximum)Front: 114.0 kPa (1.140 kgf/cm², 16.5 psi)
Rear: 169.0 kPa (1.690 kgf/cm², 24.5 psi)
Minimum tire pressure: Vehicle load:0 - 195 kg (0 - 430 lb)Front: 110.0 kPa (1.100 kgf/cm², 16.0 psi)
Rear: 124.0 kPa (1.240 kgf/cm², 18.0 psi)
Vehicle load: 195 kg - maximum (430 lb - maximum)Front: 110.0 kPa (1.100 kgf/cm², 16.0 psi)

The tire pressure gauge is included as stan-
dard equipment. Make two measurements of
the tire pressure and use the second reading.
Dust or dirt in the gauge could cause the first
reading to be incorrect.Tire wear limit
When the tire groove decreases to 3 mm
(0.12 in) due to wear, replace the tire.Maximum vehicle load*:

Loading
Be aware that vehicle load includes the total
combined weight of the operator, passenger,
any installed accessories, and any luggage or
cargo brought on board or stored in the cargo
bed. Make sure that the gross vehicle weight
(vehicle load plus weight of the vehicle itself)
never exceeds 1025 kg (2260 lb). Vehicle loading can affect handling as well as
the recommended tire pressure. See “Load-
ing” on page 6-11 and “Tire pressure” on
page 5-8.
EBU36680Operation on different surfaces and
terrainsGo slowly and proceed with caution when op-
erating on an unfamiliar surface or terrain.
This vehicle may handle differently in certain
types of terrains or on certain surfaces. You
may come upon hidden rocks, bumps, or
holes without enough time to react. To avoid
loss of control or rollover, always be alert to
changing surfaces or terrain when operating
the vehicle.
Your Yamaha YXZ1000R has higher ground
clearance and other features to handle rug-
ged terrain, and as a result, can overturn in
situations where some vehicles may not.
Abrupt maneuvers or aggressive driving can
cause loss of control, including rollovers –
