WARNING
Load may affect handling and stability.
Do not exceed the maximum load ratings for thecargo bed, or vehicle.
When loaded with cargo: Reduce speed and allow more room to stop.
Turn gradually and slowly.
Avoid hills and rough terrain. Secure cargo so that it will not shift - a loose loadcould change handling unexpectedly or be thrown
forward and strike occupants.
Keep weight in the cargo bed centered side to side and as low as possible. Top-heavy loads increase the risk of a
rollover.
Read Owner’s Manual before loading cargo bed. Improper use of cargo bed or
cage/frame can result
in severe injury or
death from loss of
control, overturn or
other accidents.
Maximum Load in Cargo Bed: 300 lbs (136 kg)
Maximum Vehicle Load: 699 lbs (317 kg) Never carry
passengers
in cargo bed.
Any part of your
body (arms, legs,
or head) outside of
the vehicle can be
crushed by the
cage/frame.
If you think or feel
that the vehicle
may tip or roll,
brace your feet on
the floorboards,
and keep your
hands on the

Do not try to stop a

Do not operate the vehicle in fast-flowing water or water deeper than 39 cm (15 in). If you must
cross shallow, slow-moving water, choose your path carefully to avoid sharp drop-offs, large
rocks, or slippery surfaces. Operating this vehi cle through deep or fast-flowing water can lead
to loss of control or overturn. To reduce your risk of drowning or other injuries, use care when
crossing through water.
 When loaded with cargo:
• Drive more slowly than normal and allow more room to stop.
• Avoid hills and rough terrain. Use caution when carrying a load up or downhill.
Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning
All engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can
cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confusion, an d eventually death.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas which may be present even if you do not
see or smell any engine exhaust. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can collect rapidly and you
can quickly be overcome and unable to save yourself. Also, deadly leve ls of carbon monoxide
can linger for hours or days in enclosed or poor ly-ventilated areas. If you experience any symp-
toms of carbon monoxide poisoning, leave th e area immediately, get fresh air, and SEEK MED-
ICAL TREATMENT.
 Do not run engine indoors. Even if you try to ventilate engine exhaust with fans or open win-
dows and doors, carbon monoxide can rapidly reach dangerous levels.
 Do not run engine in poorly ventilated or partia lly enclosed areas such as barns, garages, or
carports.U2HC7ME0.book Page 6 Tuesday, April 19, 2016 10:33 AM

Do not run engine outdoors where engine exhaus t can be drawn into a building through open-
ings such as windows and doors.
Genuine Yamaha Accessories
Choosing accessories for your YXZ1000R is an important decision. Genuine Yamaha Accesso-
ries, which are available only from a Yamaha dealer, have been designed, tested, and approved
by Yamaha for use on your YXZ1000R.
Many companies with no connection to Yamaha manufacture parts and accessories or offer oth-
er modifications for Yamaha vehicl es. Yamaha is not 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 accessories or modifications are not suitable because
of potential safety hazards to yo u or others. Installing aftermarket products or having other mod-
ifications performed to your YXZ1000R 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.U2HC7ME0.book Page 7 Tuesday, April 19, 2016 10:33 AM
