EBU35440ParkingWhen parking, shift into first gear, stop the
engine, and then apply the parking brake. See
page 7-16 for when parking on a slope.EBU35351LoadingTake extra precautions when driving with a
load. Turn gradually and drive more slowly
than you would without a load. The more
weight you carry, the slower you should go.
Although conditions vary, it is good practice
to keep the vehicle in a low gear when you are
carrying a heavy load. Follow these instruc-
tions and always use common sense and
good judgment when carrying a load.
WARNING
EWB03921Improper loading or any pulling or towing
will increase the risk of loss of control, an
overturn, or other accident:
Do not pull objects, other vehicles, or
tow a trailer—this vehicle is not de-
signed for such operation.
 Keep weight in the cargo bed centered
side to side, and as low and as far for-
ward as possible. Top-heavy loads in-
crease the risk of overturn.
 Make sure that cargo is securely fas-
tened down—a loose load could change
handling unexpectedly or strike occu-
pants.
 Do not exceed the maximum loading
limit for the cargo bed: 136.0 kg (300 lb).
 Do not exceed the maximum loading
limit for the vehicle: 317.0 kg (699 lb).
Cargo bed
Use the hooks equipped on the cargo bed to
tie down loads. Make sure the load is securely
fastened down, centered in the cargo bed,
and not top-heavy. Never allow anyone to
ride in the cargo bed.

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.U2HC7ME0.book Page 16 Tuesday, April 19, 2016 10:33 AM

TIPYou may need to turn the steering wheel left
and right or release the clutch slightly to help
the differential lock into place. 3. Stop the engine (turn the key to “ ”[off]).
4. With the brake pedal still being applied, set the parking brake.
5. Finally, get out of the vehicle and block
the front and rear wheels with rocks or
other objects.
Loading
Be aware that vehicle load includes the total
combined weight of the operator, passenger,
any installed accessories, and any luggage or
cargo brought on board or stored in the cargo
bed. Make sure that the gross vehicle weight
(vehicle load plus weight of the vehicle itself)
never exceeds 1025 kg (2260 lb). Vehicle loading can affect handling as well as
the recommended tire pressure. See “Load-
ing” on page 6-9 and “Tire pressure” on page
5-8.
EBU35572Operation on different surfaces and
terrainsGo slowly and proceed with caution when op-
erating on an unfamiliar surface or terrain.
This vehicle may handle differently in certain
types of terrains or on certain surfaces. You
may come upon hidden rocks, bumps, or
holes without enough time to react. To avoid
loss of control or rollover, always be alert to
changing surfaces or terrain when operating
the vehicle.
Your Yamaha YXZ1000R has higher ground
clearance and other features to handle rug-
ged terrain, and as a result, can overturn in
situations where some vehicles may not.
Abrupt maneuvers or aggressive driving can
cause loss of control, including rollovers –

muffler or exhaust pipe, or next to other hot
parts. Check under the vehicle after operating
in areas where combustible materials may
have collected. Do not idle or park the vehicle
in long dry grass or other dry ground cover.
Encountering obstacles
If you cannot go around an obstacle, such as
a fallen tree or a ditch, stop the vehicle where
it is safe to do so. Set the parking brake and
get out to inspect the area thoroughly. Look
from both your approach side and exit side. If
you believe you can continue safely, choose
the path that will allow you to get over the ob-
stacle and at as close to a right angle as pos-
sible to minimize vehicle tipping. Go only fast
enough to maintain your momentum but still
give yourself plenty of time to react to chang-
es in conditions. If there is any question about your ability to
maneuver safely over the obstacle, you
should turn around if the ground is flat and
you have the room or back up until you find a
less difficult path.U2HC7ME0.book Page 22 Tuesday, April 19, 2016 10:33 AM

EBU32490Checking the parking brake padsEach brake pad is provided with a wear indi-
cator groove, which allows you to check the
brake pad wear without having to disassem-
ble the brake. If a brake pad has worn to the
point that the wear indicator groove has al-
most disappeared, have a Yamaha dealer re-
place the brake pads as a set.

levelsBefore starting off, check that the brake and
clutch fluids are above the minimum level
marks. Replenish the brake and clutch fluids

EBU35820Checking the accelerator pedalThe accelerator pedal should operate
smoothly and spring back to position when
released. If the pedal free play is out of spec-
ification, have a Yamaha dealer adjust or re-
place the throttle wire.

mentPeriodically check the parking brake lever
free play and adjust it if necessary.1. Shift the transmission into first gear.
