EBU35930Cable inspection and lubrication
WARNING
EWB03380Damaged cables could restrict operation,
which may cause an accident or injury. In-
spect control cables frequently and re-
place damaged cables. Corrosion can
result when the outer covering of control
cables becomes damaged. Cables can
also become frayed or kinked. Lubricate the cable ends. If the cables do not
operate smoothly, ask a Yamaha dealer to re-
place them.
EBU35200Pedal lubricationThe pivoting parts of the brake, clutch, and
accelerator pedals should be lubricated peri-
odically to prevent rust and ensure smooth
operation.
Recommended lubricant:Yamalube LubezAll (synthetic lubricant spray with PTFE)
Recommended lubricant: Lithium-soap-based grease

EBU32620Tire replacementAlways use the same size and type of tires
recommended in this owner’s manual. The
tires that came with your Yamaha YXZ1000R
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 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
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 onthe 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.
EBU35232BatteryThis model is equipped with a 12–volt VRLA
(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.
WARNING
EWB03410Avoid battery contact with skin, eyes, or
clothing. Shield eyes when working near
batteries. Keep out of reach of children.
You could be poisoned or severely burned
by the sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte. In
case of accidental contact with battery
electrolyte:
EXTERNAL: Flush with water.
Tightening torques:Front wheel nut:95 N·m (9.5 kgf·m, 70 lb·ft)
Rear wheel nut: 95 N·m (9.5 kgf·m, 70 lb·ft)

EYES: Flush with water for 15 minutes and
get prompt medical attention.
WARNING
EWB03420Batteries may produce explosive gases.
Ventilate when charging or using in a
closed space. Keep batteries away from
sparks, flames, cigarettes, or other sourc-
es of ignition. To remove the battery
1. Turn the key to “ ” (off).
2. Remove panel A. (See page 9-10.)
3. Remove the battery holding plate by re- moving the bolts. 4. Disconnect the negative battery lead first,
then the positive battery lead by remov-
ing their bolt. NOTICE: When removing
the battery, the main switch must be
off, and the negative lead must be dis-
connected before the positive lead.

EBU35244Jump-startingJump-starting the vehicle should be avoided.
The battery should be removed and charged
instead.
WARNING
EWB03430To avoid battery explosion and/or serious
damage to the electrical system:
Do not connect the negative lead of the
jumper cable to the negative terminal of
the battery.
 Do not touch the positive lead of the
jumper cable to the negative lead.
 Do not reverse the polarity of the jumper
cables when connecting to the batteries. However, if the vehicle must be jump-started,
proceed as follows.
1. Turn the key to “ ” (off).
2. Remove panel A. (See page 9-10.)
3. Remove the passenger seat cushion. (See page 5-21.) 4. Using a charged 12-volt battery, connect
the positive lead of the jumper cable to

the fuel, compression, or ignition systems can
cause poor starting and loss of power. The
troubleshooting chart describes a quick, easy
procedure 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.

Engine overheating
Wait for the engine to cool before removing the radiator cap. WARNING! If the engine is not
cool when removing the radiator cap, hot fluid and steam could blow out under pressure
and burn you.
[EWB03460]
Place a thick rag over the cap and remove the cap slowly to allow any re-
maining pressure to escape.
TIP Tap water can be used in an emergency. Ch ange to the recommended coolant as soon as
possible.
 The engine will tend to overheat if the radiator is caked with mud, or if air was not properly bled
from the cooling system. Wait until the
engine has cooled.
Check the coolant le vel in the
coolant reservoir and/or radiator.
Level is OK.Level is low, check the
cooling system for leakage.
No
leakage.Leakage.
Ask a Yamaha dealer to inspect
and repair the cooling system.Add coolant. (See TIP.)
Restart the engine. If the engine o verheats again, ask a
Yamaha dealer to inspect and/or repair the cooling system.

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.
