If you feel the vehicle begin to slide sideways
or fishtail (rear-wheel sliding), steer into the di-
rection of the slide if possible, to regain direc-
tional control. For example, if you feel the
back of the vehicle start to slide to your right,
steer to the right.
Brush or wooded areas
When operating in areas with brush or trees,
watch carefully on both sides and above the
vehicle for obstacles such as branches that
the vehicle might hit, causing an accident.
Watch for brush that might enter the vehicle
as you pass and strike you or the passenger.
Never hold onto the cage/frame. The passen-
ger should always hold onto the passenger
handhold with both hands.
The muffler and other engine parts become
extremely hot during operation and remain
hot after the engine has stopped. To reduce
the risk of fire during operation or after leaving
the vehicle, do not let brush, grass and other
materials collect under the vehicle, near the muffler or exhaust pipe, or next to other hot
parts. Check under the vehicle after operating
in areas where combustible materials may
have collected. Do not idle or park the vehicle
in long dry grass or other dry ground cover.
Encountering obstacles
If you cannot go around an obstacle, such as
a fallen tree or a ditch, stop the vehicle where
it is safe to do so. Set the parking brake and
get out to inspect the area thoroughly. Look
from both your approach side and exit side. If
you believe you can continue safely, choose
the path that will allow you to get over the ob-
stacle and at as close to a right angle as pos-
sible to minimize vehicle tipping. Go only fast
enough to maintain your momentum but still
give yourself plenty of time to react to chang-
es in conditions.UBAS7AE0.book Page 21 Wednesday, June 19, 2019 11:51 AM

WARNING
EWB02572Operating with improperly serviced or ad-
justed brakes could lead to a loss in brak-
ing ability and an accident. EBU35150Checking the front and rear brake padsCheck each brake pad for damage and mea-
sure the lining thickness. If a brake pad is
damaged or if the lining thickness is less than
1.0 mm (0.04 in), have a Yamaha dealer re-
place the brake pads as a set.
The wheels need to be removed to check the
brake pads. (See pages 9-57, 9-59 for wheel
removal and installation procedures.)
EBU32490Checking the parking brake padsEach brake pad is provided with a wear indi-
cator groove, which allows you to check the
brake pad wear without having to disassem-
ble the brake. If a brake pad has worn to the
point that the wear indicator groove has al-
most disappeared, have a Yamaha dealer re-
place the brake pads as a set.1. Lining thickness

were designed to match the performance ca-
pabilities and to provide the best combination
of handling, braking, and comfort. It is best to
replace all four tires at the same time. If that is
not possible, you must replace the tires in
pairs (front or rear) with tires of the same size
and type as the originals. Never replace just
one tire.
WARNING
EWB03390Installing improper tires on your Yamaha
YXZ1000R can affect handling and stabili-
ty. This can cause a loss of control. The tires listed below have been approved by
Yamaha Motor Manufacturing Corporation of America for this model.
EBU33090Wheel installation1. Install the wheel and the nuts.
2. Lower the vehicle so that the wheel is on the ground.
3. Tighten the wheel nuts in a crisscross pattern to the specified torque.
WARNING
EWB03400Do not reverse the rims on your Yamaha
YXZ1000R to widen the track width. In-
stalling wheels improperly increases the
risk of wheel failure and accidents. Front tire:Size:29 x 9.00R-14NHS

(valve–regulated lead–acid) battery. There is
no need to check the electrolyte or to add dis-
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.

or milk. Follow with milk of magnesia,
beaten egg, or vegetable oil. Get prompt
medical attention.
EYES: Flush with water for 15 minutes and
get prompt medical attention.

WARNING

CLEANING AND STORAGE
EBU35920CleaningFrequent, thorough cleaning of your vehicle
will not only enhance its appearance but will
improve its general performance and extend
the useful life of many components.1. Before cleaning the vehicle: a. Block off the end of the exhaust pipeto prevent water entry. A plastic bag
and strong rubber band may be used.
b. Make sure the spark plugs and all filler caps are properly installed.
2. If the engine case is excessively greasy, apply degreaser with a paint brush. Do
not apply degreaser to the wheel axles.
3. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off with a garden hose. Use only enough pressure
to do the job. WARNING! Test the
brakes after washing. Apply the
brakes several times at slow speeds to
let friction dry the brakes. Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability, in-
creasing the chance of an accident.
[EWB03471]

NOTICE: Excessive water pres-
sure may cause water seepage and
deterioration of wheel bearings,
brakes, transmission seals and electri-
cal devices. Many expensive repair
bills have resulted from improper high-
pressure detergent applications such
as those available in coin-operated car
washers.
[ECB00712]
4. Once the majority of the dirt has been hosed off, wash all surfaces with warm
water and mild, detergent-type soap. An
old toothbrush or bottle brush is handy
for hard-to-get-at places.
5. Rinse the vehicle off immediately with
clean water and dry all surfaces with a
clean chamois towel or soft, absorbent
cloth.
6. Clean the seats with a vinyl upholstery cleaner to keep the covers pliable and
glossy.
