WARNING
EWB02522Gasoline and gasoline vapors are ex-
tremely flammable. To avoid fires and ex-
plosions and to reduce the risk of injury
when refueling, follow these instructions. 1. Before refueling, turn off the engine andbe sure that no one is sitting in the vehi-
cle.
Never refuel while smoking, or while in
the vicinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as the pilot
lights of water heaters and clothes dry-
ers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Because fuel expands when it heats up, heat from the
engine or the sun can cause fuel to spill
out of the fuel tank.
3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.
4. Be sure the fuel tank cap is closed se-
curely.
WARNING
EWB02532Gasoline is poisonous and can cause inju-
ry or death. Handle gasoline with care.
Never siphon gasoline by mouth. If you
should swallow some gasoline or inhale a
lot of gasoline vapor, or get some gasoline
in your eyes, see your doctor immediately.
If gasoline spills on your skin, wash with
soap and water. If gasoline spills on your
clothing, change your clothes. If knocking or pinging occurs, try a different
brand or higher octane gasoline. Unleaded
fuel will give you longer spark plug life and re-
duced maintenance cost. Gasoline contain-Recommended fuel:Regular unleaded gasoline (Gasohol [E10]
acceptable)
Fuel tank capacity: 34 L (9.0 US gal, 7.5 Imp.gal)
Fuel reserve amount: 8.5 L (2.24 US gal, 1.87 Imp.gal)

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.

Clean the surface of the spark plug gasket
and its mating surface, and then wipe off any
grime from the spark plug threads.
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.
1. Spark plug gapSpark plug gap: 0.7–0.8 mm (0.028–0.031 in)
Tightening torque: Spark plug:13 N·m (1.3 kgf·m, 9.6 lb·ft)

tilled water. However, the battery lead con-
nections need to be checked and tightened,
and the battery terminals cleaned if corroded.
If the battery seems to have discharged, re-
charge it as soon as possible.

EBU37910Brake/tail lightThis model is equipped with an LED brake/tail
light, there are no replaceable bulbs.
If the brake/tail light does not come on, check
for a loose connection, check the fuses, and
then have a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.EBU36961Interior lights (equipped models)This model is equipped with LED interior
lights. There are no user replaceable bulbs.
If one or more interior lights do not come on,
check for a loose connection, check the fus-
es, and then have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle.EBU32700TroubleshootingAlthough Yamaha vehicles receive an inspec-
tion before shipment from the factory, trouble
may occur during operation. Any problem in
the fuel, compression, or ignition systems can
cause poor starting and loss of power. The
troubleshooting chart describes a quick, easyprocedure for making checks. If your vehicle
requires any repair, take it to a Yamaha deal-
er.
The skilled technicians at a Yamaha dealer-
ship have the tools, experience, and know-
how to properly service your vehicle. Use only
genuine Yamaha parts on your vehicle. Imita-
tion parts may look like Yamaha parts, but
they are often inferior. Consequently, they
have a shorter service life and can lead to ex-
pensive repair bills.
WARNING
EWB03450When checking the fuel system, do not
smoke and make sure there are no open
flames or sparks in the area, including pilot
lights from water heaters or furnaces.
Gasoline or gasoline
vapors can ignite or
explode, causing severe injury or property
damage.
