The electrical circuit of the indicator light can
be checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). If
the indicator light does not come on initially
when the key is turned to “ ” (on), or if the
indicator light remains on, have a Yamaha
dealer check the electrical circuit.TIPSee page 4-12 for a detailed explanation of
this indicator light and how to set it. EBU35282Coolant temperature warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on when the coolant
temperature, and therefore the engine, is out-
side its normal operating temperature range.
The warning light comes on in blue to inform
the driver that the vehicle should be warmed
up. After the engine is started, warm it up until
the warning light goes off.
The vehicle can be operated normally when
the warning light is off.The warning light comes on in red when the
engine is overheating. If the red light comes
on, stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so and allow the engine to idle for about 10
minutes. If the warning light does not go off,
stop the engine and allow it to cool. (See page
8-66.)
TIPThe coolant temperature warning light can be
checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). The
warning light should come on in purple briefly
(which confirms that both the blue and red in-
dicators are okay) and then go off. If the warn-
ing light does not come on at all, comes on in
red or blue, or if the warning light remains on,
have a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle. NOTICEECB02040
The engine may overheat if the vehicle is
overloaded. If this happens, reduce the
load to specification.

After restarting, make sure that the
warning light is out. Continuous use
while this warning light is on may cause
damage to the engine. EBU31340Engine trouble warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on or flashes if a
problem is detected in the electrical circuit
monitoring the engine. When this occurs,
have a Yamaha dealer check the self-diagno-
sis system. (See page 4-12 for an explanation
of the self-diagnosis device.)
The electrical circuit of the warning light can
be checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). If
the warning light does not come on initially
when the key is turned to “ ” (on), or if the
warning light remains on, have a Yamaha
dealer check the electrical circuit.
EBU33041Electric Power Steering warning light
“EPS”
This warning light comes on when the key is
turned to “ ” (on), and then goes off once
the engine is started. If the warning light re-
mains on or comes on after the engine is
started, the EPS system may not be working
correctly. When this occurs, have a Yamaha
dealer check the EPS system.
The electrical circuit of the warning light can
be checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). If
the warning light does not come on, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical circuit.TIPIf the steering load is too heavy (e.g., exces-
sive steering use at slow speed or when op-
erating in deep mud, sand, or snow), the
power assist is reduced to protect the EPS
motor from overheating.

The shift timing indicator light has three set-
tings which can be adjusted.
Flashing pattern: this function allows you to
choose whether or not the indicator light
will come on and whether it should flash or
stay on when activated.
 Activation point: this function allows you to
select the engine speed at which the indi-
cator light is activated.
 Deactivation point: this function allows you
to select the engine speed at which the in-
dicator light is deactivated.
To adjust the shift timing indicator light1. Turn the key to “ ” (off).
2. Push and hold the “MODE” button.
3. Turn the key to “ ” (on), and then re- lease the “MODE” button after five sec-
onds. After all segments of the display
disappear and the shift timing indicator
light comes on, the shift timing indicator
light can be adjusted. To set the flashing pattern
1. Push the “RESET” button to select one of
the following flashing pattern settings:
On: the indicator light stays on when
activated. (The indicator light will con-
firm this setting by staying on.)
 Flash: the indicator light flashes when
activated. (The indicator light will con-
firm this setting by flashing four times
per second.)
 Off: the indicator light is deactivated; in
other words, it does not come on or
flash. (The indicator light will confirm
this setting by flashing once every two
seconds.)
2. Push the “MODE” button to confirm the selected flashing pattern. The control
mode changes to the activation point set-
ting mode. The shift timing indicator light
remains on and the tachometer shows
the current setting r/min for the activation
point.

After break-in:
The vehicle may now be operated normally.EBU35341Starting the engine1. Turn the key to “ ” (on).NOTICEECB02290The coolant temperature warning light and
engine trouble warning light should come
on, then go off.
The EPS warning light should come on,
then go off when the engine is started.
If a warning light does not go off, see page
4-2 for the corresponding warning light
circuit check. 2. Press the brake pedal.
3. Shift the transmission into neutral.
When the transmission is in the neutral
position, the transmission gear display
shows “N” and the neutral indicator
light should come on.
 The engine can be started in any gear if
the clutch pedal is applied. However, it
is recommended to shift into neutral
before starting the engine.
4. With your foot off the accelerator pedal, start the engine by turning the key to “ ”
(start).
If the engine fails to start, release the key, and
then try starting it again. Wait a few seconds
before the next attempt. Each attempt should
be as short as possible, to preserve battery
energy. NOTICE: Do not crank the engine
more than 5 seconds on each attempt, or
starter damage could occur. Wait at least
5 seconds between each operation of the
electric starter to let it cool.
[ECB02140]
Do not turn the key to the “ ” (start) position
with the engine running; otherwise, damage
to the electric starter may result.

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.
Driver requirements
This vehicle is intended for use only by an
operator 16 or older with a valid motor ve-
hicle license. Check country laws for mini-
mum age requirements. 
The driver must be able to place both feet
flat on the floorboard while seated upright
with his/her back against the backrest.
 Do not drive after using drugs or alcohol.
 Remove the ignition key when the vehicle is
not in use to prevent unauthorized use of
the machine.
Parents:
Many countries have implemented new mo-
tor vehicle licensing requirements for young
drivers. These requirements are in response
to the disproportionately high rate of crashes
involving youthful drivers. As with automo-

Leaving the vehicle
Do not get out of the vehicle while the engine
is running. Take the key with when you leave
the vehicle. There is a serious risk of injury or
death because:
Children or other unauthorized persons
may attempt to operate the vehicle.
 Objects tossed into the vehicle may strike
the shift lever and accidently engage the
transmission.
 The parking brake may not keep the vehicle
from moving.
Parking on a flat area
Even when parking on a seemingly flat area, it
is good practice to leave the transmission in
gear to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
Therefore, shift into first or reverse gear, stop
the engine and always apply the parking
brake. Parking on a slope
The parking brake is loca
ted on the rear drive
shaft. When the drivetrain is in “2WD” mode,
only the rear wheels will be locked. Therefore,
switch the drive mode to “DIFF LOCK” before
stopping the engine to lock all four wheels
when parking. In addition to the parking
brake, leave the transmi ssion in gear to help
prevent the vehicle from rolling.
If you park on a hill that is too steep, the vehi-
cle may roll out of control. Never park on hills
that are so steep you cannot walk up them
easily. If you must park on an incline, follow
these instructions: 1. First, bring the vehicle to a stop and con- tinue to apply the brake pedal.
2. Switch the drive mode to “DIFF LOCK”
and shift into first gear when parking up-
hill, or reverse gear when parking down-
hill.U2HC7LE0.book Page 16 Wednesday, October 7, 2015 12:09 PM
