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 hold-
ing 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 sl ow speeds, avoid sudden or hard acceleration.U2HC7ME0.book Page 4 Tuesday, April 19, 2016 10:33 AM
