and/or turn the steering wheel back and
forth to help the differential to lock or un-
lock. EBU34932Shift light
This light can be set to come on and go off at
the desired engine speeds and is used to in-
form the driver when it is time to upshift.
The electrical circuit of the shift light can be
checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). If the
light does not come on initially when the key
is turned to “ ” (on), or if the light remains
on, have a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.TIPSee page 5-16 for an explanation of how to
set the shift light.
EBU35283Coolant temperature warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on when the coolant
temperature, and therefore the engine, is out-
side its normal operating temperature range.
The warning light comes on in blue to inform
the driver that the vehicle should be warmed
up. After the engine is started, warm it up until
the warning light goes off.
The vehicle can be operated normally when
the warning light is off.
The warning light comes on in red when the
engine is overheating. If the red light comes
on, stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so and allow the engine to idle for about 10
minutes. If the warning light does not go off,
stop the engine and allow it to cool. (See page
9-71.)TIPIf you continue to drive the vehicle while the
engine is overheating, a buzzer will sound.

The coolant temperature warning light can
be checked by turning the key to “ ” (on).
The warning light should come on in purple
briefly (which confirms that both the blue
and red indicators are okay) and then go
off. If the warning light does not come on at
all, comes on in red or blue, or if the warning
light remains on, have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle. NOTICEECB02040The engine may overheat if the vehicle is
overloaded. If this happens, reduce the
load to specification.
 After restarting, make sure that the
warning light is out. Continuous use
while this warning light is on may cause
damage to the engine.
EBU31341Engine trouble warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on or flashes if a
problem is detected in the electrical circuit
monitoring the engine. When this occurs, the
display will indicate an error code (see page
5-18). Have a Yamaha dealer check the self-
diagnosis system.
The electrical circuit of the warning light can
be checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). If
the warning light does not come on initially
when the key is turned to “ ” (on), or if the
warning light remains on, have a Yamaha
dealer check the vehicle.EBU33041Electric Power Steering warning light
“EPS”
This warning light comes on when the key is
turned to “ ” (on), and then goes off once
the engine is started. If the warning light re-
mains on or comes on after the engine is

started, the EPS system may not be working
correctly. When this occurs, have a Yamaha
dealer check the EPS system.
The electrical circuit of the warning light can
be checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). If
the warning light does not come on, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical circuit.TIPIf the steering load is too heavy (e.g., exces-
sive steering use at slow speed or when op-
erating in deep mud, sand, or snow), the
power assist is reduced to protect the EPS
motor from overheating. EBU36713Half clutch indicator light “ ”
This indicator light comes on to inform the
driver when the clutch is partially engaged.
Normal, temporary partial-engagement oc-
curs when starting off or when shifting gears.
The indicator light may also come on during
engine braking or in other situations. The electrical circuit of the indicator light can
be checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). If
the indicator light does not come on and then
go off, have a Yamaha dealer check the elec-
trical circuit.
TIPIf the indicator light stays on while driving, ei-
ther release the accelerator pedal or further
press down the accelerator pedal (release or
increase throttle) to fully engage or disengage
the clutch. NOTICEECB03351Do not use the throttle (accelerator pedal)
to hold the vehicle stationary when on an
incline or navigating obstacles. Continu-
ous operation while the indicator light is on
may lead to shortened clutch life.

EBU36643Launch system indicator light “ ”
This indicator light comes on when the launch
system is activated. If the indicator light is
flashing, either a user error or system restric-
tion has been detected. See “Launch system
operation” on page 7-7 for more information.
The electrical circuit of the indicator light can
be checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). If
the indicator light does not come on and then
go off, have a Yamaha dealer check the elec-
trical circuit.TIPIf the launch system indicator light is flashing,
release the accelerator pedal and shift pad-
dles to reset the system. When the engine
speed returns to idle, the indicator light will go
off. You can now start off as normal in first
gear, or retry activating the launch system.
EBU36743YCC-S system warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on when an error
has occurred or a malfunction has been de-
tected in the YCC-S system. Have a Yamaha
dealer check the YCC-S system.
The electrical circuit of the YCC-S system
warning light can be checked by turning the
key to “ ” (on). If the warning light does not
come on and then go off, have a Yamaha
dealer check the electrical circuit.
If the YCC-S system warning light flashes
when starting the engine, wait 3 seconds for
the light to stop flashing, and then retry start-
ing the engine. If an error in the YCC-S sys-
tem prevents the engine from starting, the
warning light will come and the display will in-

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 YXZ1000R, be sure to
secure it with the cap tightened before driving
the vehicle.
Always place a portable fuel container on the
ground before filling it. Before removing the
container cap, touch the container with the
fuel dispenser nozzle. Keep fuel dispenser
nozzle in contact with container inlet when fill-
ing. WARNING! Never refill a fuel container
in the bed of any vehicle. Fire may result
from a build-up of static electricity. The
discharge of this build-up while refueling
can cause a spark and ignite the gasoline.[EWB03270]
