2. Push the “MODE” button to confirm the
selected flashing pattern. The control
mode then changes to the activation
point setting function. The shift light re-
mains on and the tachometer shows the
current setting r/min for the activation
point.
To set the activation point
TIP The shift light activation point can be set
between 7000 r/min and 12000 r/min. The
activation point can be set in increments of
500 r/min.
 The tachometer needle will start over at
7000 r/min after 12000 r/min.

EBU35660Flag pole bracketThis model is equipped with a flag pole brack-
et.NOTICEECB03010Do not use the flag pole bracket as a cargo
hook.
EBU35035Front shock absorbersThe shock absorber assemblies are equipped
with a spring preload adjusting nut, a rebound
damping force adjusting screw, a fast com-
pression damping force adjusting bolt, and a
slow compression damping force adjusting
screw.
WARNING
EWB02492Suspension components become hot
during operation. Never touch the com-
pression damping force adjusting bolt
and screw, the rebound damping force
adjusting screw or the oil reservoir with
your bare hand or skin until suspension
components have cooled.
 Always adjust the shock absorber as-
semblies on the left and right side to the
same setting. Uneven adjustment can
cause poor handling and loss of stability,
which could lead to an accident.

Practice for new Yamaha YXZ1000R users
Become familiar with the performance char-
acteristics of the vehicle in a large, flat area
that is free of obstacles and other vehicles.
Practice controlling the accelerator pedal,
clutch, brakes, steering, and shift lever. Drive
at slow speeds with gradual acceleration and
smooth turns. Practice applying the accelera-
tor pedal smoothly. Practice slowing down
before turning. Practice maintaining a steady
amount of throttle (accelerator pedal position)
through the turn. Avoid higher speeds until
you are thoroughly familiar with the operation
and handling of the vehicle. Remember, driv-
ing aggressively or making abrupt maneuvers
even on flat, open areas can cause side roll-
overs.Become familiar with the way the vehicle han-
dles in the various drive modes. Start off with
two-wheel drive “2WD”, then four-wheel drive
“4WD”, and finally four-wheel drive with the
differential locked “DIFF LOCK”. Steering
may take more effort in four-wheel drive with
the differential locked “DIFF LOCK”. Also
practice driving in reverse.
TIPTake the time to learn basic operation of the
vehicle before driving at higher speeds or at-
tempting more difficult maneuvers.

TIPIf a torque wrench is not available when in-
stalling the spark plug, a good estimate of the
correct torque is 1/4–1/2 turn past finger tight.
However, the spark plug should be tightened
to the specified torque as soon as possible. NOTICEECB02900Do not use any tools to remove or install
the spark plug cap, otherwise the ignition
coil coupler may be damaged. The spark
plug cap may be difficult to remove be-
cause the rubber seal on the end of the cap
fits tightly. To remove the spark plug cap,
simply twist it back and forth while pulling
it out; to install it, twist it back and forth
while pushing it in.
EBU38320Air filter maintenanceThis model is equipped with two air filter ele-
ments, a primary foam-type air filter and a
secondary paper-type air filter.
The primary air filter is easily accessed and
should be cleaned and oiled every 300–600
km (200–400 mi).
The secondary air filter is more difficult to ac-
cess, cannot be cleaned, and should be re-
placed by a Yamaha dealer every 2000–5000
km (1200–3000 mi).1. Primary air filter

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.
