SAFETY INFORMATION
SAFETY INFORMATION
EBU36821Be 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 an d 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.UB5H7AE0.book Page 1 Wednesday, July 4, 2018 1:37 PM

Do not run engine outdoors where engine exhaus t 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 Accesso-
ries, 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 oth-
er modifications for Yamaha vehicl es. 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 Acces-
sories, recognize that some aftermarket accessories or modifications are not suitable because
of potential safety hazards to yo u or others. Installing aftermarket products or having other mod-
ifications performed to your YXZ1000R that change any of the vehicle’s design or operation char-
acteristics can put you and others at greater risk of serious injury or death. You are responsible
for injuries related to changes in the vehicle.UB5H7AE0.book Page 7 Wednesday, July 4, 2018 1:37 PM

BASIC GUIDE FOR SAFE USE
EBU31961As a YXZ1000R owner you are responsible
for the safe and proper operation of this vehi-
cle. Read this chapter and review the safety
instructions in Chapter 2 before operating the
vehicle. Use these chapters and the labels on
the vehicle to instruct new operators and pas-
sengers. Do not allow anyone else to operate
the vehicle or ride as a passenger if you are
unsure that he/she is willing and able to follow
these instructions.
WARNING
EWB03340Follow 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.
EBU33512KNOW YOUR VEHICLEThis off-road vehicle will handle and maneu-
ver differently from cars, ATVs, go-carts, golf-
cars and grounds-keeping vehicles. The
YXZ1000R has higher ground clearance and
other features to handle rugged terrain, and,
as a result, can overturn in situations where
some vehicles may not. This would include
vehicles made primarily for pavement, roads,
improved paths, or grounds-keeping. If you
do not use care in maneuvering the
YXZ1000R, you can cause it to roll over even
on flat, open areas.
Doing things with a YXZ1000R that some
people do for thrills in other vehicles [such as
sideways sliding, skidding, fishtailing (rear-
wheel sliding), or donuts] have led to side roll-
overs. These rollovers can result in crushed
limbs and other serious injuries or death to
drivers or passengers.

As the owner/operator, it is your responsibility
to protect yourself and your passenger from
accidents, including rollovers. The YXZ1000R
has many features, including a protective
structure and seat belts, to help protect occu-
pants, but the best way to avoid injuries is to
avoid accidents. There is a risk of injury or
death in any accident, even with these safety
features.
