Aftermarket tires and rims
The tires and rims that came with your YXZ1000R were designed to match the performance ca-
pabilities and to provide the best combination of handling, braking, and comfort. Other tires,
rims, sizes, and combinations may not be appropriate. Refer to page 8-56 for tire specifications
and more information on replacing your tires.UB0F7AE0.book Page 8 Monday, November 6, 2017 2:30 PM

EBU36672YCC-S clutchCheck the YCC-S clutch fluid level and cor-
rect if necessary. (See page 8-46.)
Check the operation of the drive select lever
and shift paddles at the start of each drive.TIPIf 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 instruments, 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

5. When vehicle speed has sufficiently in-creased, use the shift paddle “ ” to shift
into second gear (“2”).
6. Follow the same procedure when shifting to the next higher gear.
To decelerate
When slowing down, release the accelerator
pedal and apply the brake pedal smoothly. 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 pedal or shift paddles can cause the
tires to lose traction, reducing control and in-
creasing the possibility of an accident.
WARNING
EWB00712Make sure the engine has sufficiently
slowed before shifting to a lower gear. En-
gaging 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 inju-
ry. It could also cause engine or drivetrain
damage.
Recommended shift points
The recommended shift points during accel-
eration and deceleration are shown in the fol-
lowing table.TIPWhen coming to a stop under normal condi-
tions, AUTO DOWNSHIFT will shift the trans-
mission into first gear automatically. 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)

Floorboard
The floorboard allows you to brace your feet,
which helps you keep your body in the vehicle
in the event of an accident or rollover. Keep
your feet on the floorboard during operation.
Steering wheel
Keep both hands on the steering wheel. Do
not hold the steering wheel with your thumbs
inside the rim. Keep your palms on the out-
side of the steering wheel. Similar to other off-
road vehicles, if the YXZ1000R hits a deep rut
or large obstacle, the steering wheel couldbriefly jerk in one direction or back and forth
as the tires and vehicle respond to the obsta-
cle. This quick motion could injure your
thumbs or wrist if your thumbs or hand(s) are
inside the steering wheel. Grip the steering
wheel so that your thum
bs will not be hit by
the spokes. As an exam ple, see the illustra-
tion.UB0F7AE0.book Page 11 Monday, November 6, 2017 2:30 PM
