FOR YOUR SAFETY – PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
EBU31585Before starting off, inspect the vehicle to make sure it is in safe operating condition. Use the fol-
lowing checklist and related information as a guide. Also, follow the service intervals in the peri-
odic maintenance chart to keep the vehicle in safe operating condition.
WARNING
EWB00482Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an accident
or equipment damage. Do not operate the vehicle if you find any problem. If a problem can-
not be corrected by the procedures provided in this manual, have the vehicle inspected by
a Yamaha dealer. Pre-operation checklist

Clutch fluid
Depress and release the clutch pedal five
times. Check to see if any fluid is leaking out
of the hoses, reservoir, or master cylinder.
Check the clutch fluid level and correct if nec-
essary. (See page 9-47.)TIPIf any leakage is found, or if the clutch pedal
offers little resistance, have a Yamaha dealer
service the vehicle. EBU36972FuelMake sure there is sufficient fuel in the tank.
Refuel if necessary.
WARNING
EWB02522Gasoline and gasoline vapors are ex-
tremely flammable. To avoid fires and ex-
plosions and to reduce the risk of injury
when refueling, follow these instructions.
1. Before refueling, turn off the engine andbe sure that no one is sitting in the vehi-
cle.
Never refuel while smoking, or while in
the vicinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as the pilot
lights of water heaters and clothes dry-
ers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Because fuel expands when it heats up, heat from the
engine or the sun can cause fuel to spill
out of the fuel tank.
3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.
4. Be sure the fuel tank cap is closed se- curely.
WARNING
EWB02532Gasoline is poisonous and can cause inju-
ry or death. Handle gasoline with care.
Never siphon gasoline by mouth. If you
should swallow some gasoline or inhale a
lot of gasoline vapor, or get some gasoline
in your eyes, see your doctor immediately.

If gasoline spills on your skin, wash with
soap and water. If gasoline spills on your
clothing, change your clothes. If knocking or pinging occurs, try a different
brand or higher octane gasoline. Unleaded
fuel will give you longer spark plug life and re-
duced maintenance cost. Gasoline contain-
ing ethanol can be used if the ethanol content
does not exceed 10% (E10). Gasoline con-
taining methanol is not recommended be-
cause it can cause damage to the fuel system
or vehicle performance problems.
TIPThis mark identifies the recommended fuel
for this vehicle as specified by European
regulation (EN228).
 Check that gasoline nozzle has the same
identifier when fueling. Portable fuel containers
If you carry a portable fuel container in the
bed of your Yamaha YXZ1000E, be sure to
secure it with the cap tightened before driving
the vehicle.
Recommended fuel:
Regular unleaded gasoline (Gasohol [E10]
acceptable)
Fuel tank capacity: 34 L (9.0 US gal, 7.5 Imp.gal)
Fuel reserve amount: 8.5 L (2.24 US gal, 1.87 Imp.gal)
