SAFETY INFORMATION
SAFETY INFORMATION
EBU35584Be a responsible owner
As the vehicle’s owner, you are responsible for the safe and proper operation of your Yamaha
YXZ1000E. While understanding all parts of this manual are important for vehicle ownership, be
sure to read this chapter and the instructions in Chapter 8 before operating your Yamaha
YXZ1000E. Also use these two chapters and the labe ls on the vehicle to instruct new operators
and passengers. Do not allow anyone else to oper ate your vehicle or ride as a passenger if you
are unsure whether he or she is willing and able to follow these instructions.
Get to know your vehicle
This off-road vehicle will handle and maneuver differently from cars, ATVs, go-carts, golf-cars
and grounds-keeping vehicles. Follow these instruct ions to reduce your risk of an accident and
to reduce the risk of serious injury or death in the event of an accident.UB5J7CE0.book Page 1 Thursday, November 26, 2020 1:37 PM

Do not run engine outdoors where engine exhaust can be drawn into a building through open-
ings such as windows and doors.
Genuine Yamaha Accessories
Choosing accessories for your YXZ1000E is an important decision. Genuine Yamaha Accesso-
ries, which are available only from a Yamaha de aler, have been designed, tested, and approved
by Yamaha for use on your YXZ1000E.
Many companies with no connect ion to Yamaha manufacture parts and accessories or offer oth-
er modifications for Yamaha vehicles. Yamaha is no t in a position to test the products that these
aftermarket companies produce. Therefore, Yamaha can neither endorse nor recommend the
use of accessories not sold by Yamaha or modifications not specifically recommended by
Yamaha, even if sold and installed by a Yamaha dealer.
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 accessori es or modifications are not suitable because
of potential safety hazards to yo u or others. Installing aftermarke t products or having other mod-
ifications performed to your YXZ1000E that change any of the vehicle’s design or operation char-
acteristics can put you and others at greater risk of serious injury or death. You are responsible
for injuries related to changes in the vehicle.UB5J7CE0.book Page 7 Thursday, November 26, 2020 1:37 PM

BASIC GUIDE FOR SAFE USE
EBU31962As a YXZ1000E owner you are responsible for
the safe and proper operation of this vehicle.
Read this chapter and review the safety in-
structions in Chapter 3 before operating the
vehicle. Use these chapters and the labels on
the vehicle to instruct new operators and pas-
sengers. Do not allow anyone else to operate
the vehicle or ride as a passenger if you are
unsure that he/she is willing and able to follow
these instructions.
WARNING
EWB03340Follow these instructions to reduce your
risk of an accident and to reduce the risk
of serious injury or death in the event of an
accident.
EBU35765KNOW YOUR VEHICLEThis off-road vehicle will handle and maneu-
ver differently from cars, ATVs, go-carts, golf-
cars and grounds-keeping vehicles. The
YXZ1000E has higher ground clearance and
other features to handle rugged terrain, and,
as a result, can overturn in situations where
some vehicles may not. This would include
vehicles made primarily for pavement, roads,
improved paths, or grounds-keeping. If you
do not use care in maneuvering the
YXZ1000E, you can cause it to roll over even
on flat, open areas.
Doing things with a YXZ1000E that some
people do for thrills in other vehicles [such as
sideways sliding, skidding, fishtailing (rear-
wheel sliding), or donuts] could lead to side
rollovers. These rollovers can result in
crushed limbs and other serious injuries or
death to drivers or passengers.

As the owner/operator, it is your responsibility
to protect yourself and your passenger from
accidents, including rollovers. The YXZ1000E
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.

the steering wheel could briefly jerk in one di-
rection or back and forth as the tires and ve-
hicle 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

3. Lubricate all control cables.
4. Put the frame on stands or blocks to raise all wheels off the ground.
5. Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust pipe outlet to prevent moisture from entering.
