Be careful that water or dust does not
enter the brake or YCC-S clutch fluid
reservoir when refilling. Water will signif-
icantly lower the boiling point of the fluid
and may result in vapor lock. NOTICEECB01161Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
or plastic parts. Always clean up spilled
fluid immediately. As the brake pads wear, it is normal for the
brake fluid level to gradually go down. A low
brake fluid level may indicate worn brake
pads or brake system l eakage; therefore, be
sure to check the brake pads for wear and the
brake system for leakage. A low YCC-S
clutch fluid level may indicate YCC-S clutch
system leakage; therefore, be sure to check
the YCC-S clutch system for leakage. If the
brake or YCC-S clutch fluid level goes down suddenly, have a Yamaha dealer check and
repair the vehicle before any further opera-
tion.
EBU36550Brake and YCC-S clutch fluid replace-
mentComplete fluid replacement should be done
only by trained Yamaha service personnel.
Have a Yamaha dealer replace the following
components during periodic maintenance or
when they are damaged or leaking.

Replace the oil seals every two years.
 Replace the brake and YCC-S clutch hoses
every four years.EBU36540YCC-S clutchThis model is equipped with a hydraulic
clutch, therefore, it is necessary to check the
YCC-S clutch fluid level and check the hy-
draulic system for leakage before each drive.
If the YCC-S clutch plates wear out, shifting
becomes rough or clutch slippage will occur,

causing poor acceleration. If any of the above
occurs, have a Yamaha dealer check the
YCC-S clutch.EBU32530Checking the brake pedalHave a Yamaha dealer check the brakes at
the intervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart. There should be
no free play in the brake pedal. The brakes
should operate smoothly and there should be
no brake drag. If the brakes feel soft or
spongy, this could indicate air in the brake
system. Have a Yamaha dealer check the
brake system if necessary.
EBU35821Checking 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.1. Brake pedal

rubber cover to its original position.
9. Install the panel.
EBU36620Brake light switchThe brake light, which is activated by the
brake pedal, should come on just before
braking takes effect. Since the brake light
switch is a component of the YCC-S system,
it must be adjusted by a Yamaha dealer, who
has the necessary professional knowledge
and experience.EBU35930Cable inspection and lubrication
WARNING
EWB03380Damaged cables could restrict operation,
which may cause an accident or injury. In-
spect control cables frequently and re-
place damaged cables. Corrosion can
result when the outer covering of control
cables becomes damaged. Cables can
also become frayed or kinked.

operate smoothly, ask a Yamaha dealer to re-
place them.EBU36760Pedal lubricationThe pivoting parts of the brake and accelera-
tor pedals should be lubricated periodically to
prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.
EBU32582Checking the stabilizer bushesThe stabilizer bushes must be checked for
cracks or damage at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.

Tighten the bead lock bolts to the specified
torque in a crisscross pattern.EBU32620Tire replacementAlways use the same size and type of tires
recommended in this owner’s manual. The
tires that came with your Yamaha YXZ1000Rwere 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 in
pairs (front or rear) with tires of the same size
and type as the origin
als. 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.

3. Tighten the wheel nuts in a crisscross pattern to the specified torque.
WARNING
EWB03400Do not reverse the rims on your Yamaha
YXZ1000R to widen the track width. In-
stalling wheels improperly increases the
risk of wheel failure and accidents.
EBU35232BatteryThis model is equipped with a 12–volt VRLA
(valve–regulated lead–acid) battery. There is
no need to check the electrolyte or to add dis-
tilled water. However, the battery lead con-
nections need to be checked and tightened,
and the battery terminals cleaned if corroded.
If the battery seems to have discharged, re-
charge it as soon as possible.
WARNING
EWB03410Avoid battery contact with skin, eyes, or
clothing. Shield eyes when working near
batteries. Keep out of reach of children.
