WARNING
Load may affect handling and stability.
Do not exceed the maximum load ratings for thecargo bed, or vehicle.
When loaded with cargo: Reduce speed and allow more room to stop.
Turn gradually and slowly.
Avoid hills and rough terrain. Secure cargo so that it will not shift - a loose loadcould change handling unexpectedly or be thrown
forward and strike occupants.
Keep weight in the cargo bed centered side to side and as low as possible. Top-heavy loads increase the risk of a
rollover.
Read Owner’s Manual before loading cargo bed. Improper use of cargo bed or
cage/frame can result
in severe injury or
death from loss of
control, overturn or
other accidents.
Maximum Load in Cargo Bed: 300 lbs (136 kg)
Maximum Vehicle Load: 723 lbs (328 kg) Never carry
passengers
in cargo bed.

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 9-58 for tire specifications
and more information on replacing your tires.UBAS7AE0.book Page 8 Wednesday, June 19, 2019 11:51 AM

EBU36672YCC-S clutchCheck the YCC-S clutch fluid level and cor-
rect if necessary. (See page 9-49.)
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.

Tire pressure
A tire pressure gauge is included as standard
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 pressure must be checked and set when
the tires are cold. The tire pressure should be
the same on both sides, and must be adjust-
ed according to vehicle loading conditions.
Set the tire pressure as specified below.
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.

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)

briefly 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 thumbs will not be hit by
the spokes. As an example, see the illustra-
tion.
