AVERTISSEMENT
Une pression de gonflage incorrecte des pneus ou la
surcharge du véhicule risquent de provoquer une perte
de contrôle ou un capotage, entraînant des
blessures, voire la mort. Ne jamais régler la pression de gonflage ni la
laisser baisser sous le seuil minimal; le pneu risque
de se déjanter.

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 Viking that change any of the vehicle’s design or operation charac-
teristics can put you and others at greater risk of serious injury or death. You are responsible for
injuries related to changes in the vehicle.
Aftermarket tires and rims
The tires and rims that came with your Viking were designed to match the performance capabil-
ities and to provide the best combination of handli ng, braking, and comfort. Other tires, rims, siz-
es, and combinations may not be appropriate. Refe r to page 8-40 for tire specifications and more
information on replacing your tires.UB427AE0.book Page 7 Monday, May 18, 2015 9:17 AM

EBU31830Fittings and fastenersAlways check the tightness of chassis fittings
and fasteners before a ride. Take the vehicle
to a Yamaha dealer or refer to the Service
Manual for correct tightening torque.EBU31840Instruments, lights and switchesCheck that all instruments, lights and switch-
es are working properly. Correct if necessary.EBU31850Control cablesWhen riding in cold weather, always make
sure all control cables work smoothly before
you begin riding. 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
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 riding
conditions.
[EWB02542]
Set tire pressures to the following specifica-
tions:

ly jerk in one direction or back and forth as the
tires and vehicle respond to the obstacle. 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 illustration.

Avoid higher speeds and sudden or hard ac-
celeration until you are thoroughly familiar
with the operation of your vehicle. Avoid sud-
den or hard acceleration in any turn.
Braking
When slowing down or stopping, take your
foot off the accelerator pedal and press the
brake pedal smoothly. Improper use of the
brakes can cause the tires to lose traction, re-
ducing control of the vehicle and increasing
the possibility of an accident.
Braking ability is affected by type of terrain. In
most cases, gradual application of the brakes
is more effective than abrupt braking, partic-
ularly on loose surfaces, such as gravel. Al-
ways allow for greater braking distance on
rough, loose, or slippery surfaces.
Engine braking
Engine compression braking is designed to
assist you when operating your Viking off-
road. With this feature, the engine helps slow the vehicle down after you take your foot off
the accelerator. Engine braking is more no-
ticeable in four-wheel drive. Application of ve-
hicle brakes provides additional stopping
power.
Leaving the vehicle
Do not get out of the vehicle while the engine
is running and the drive select lever is in any
gear. There is a risk
of injury because:
Children or others may accidentally press
the accelerator pedal.
Objects tossed into the vehicle may strike
the accelerator pedal.
The parking brake may not keep the vehicle
from accelerating.
Unwanted vehicle movement can cause seri-
ous injury or death, and it may be dangerous
to try to stop the vehicle.UB427AE0.book Page 15 Monday, May 18, 2015 9:17 AM

EBU32620Tire replacementAlways use the same size and type of tires
recommended in this owner’s manual. The
tires that came with your Yamaha Viking were
designed to match the performance capabili-
ties 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 inpairs (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
Viking can affect handling and stability.
This can cause a loss of control. The tires listed below have been approved by
