BASIC GUIDE FOR SAFE USE
EBU31961
As a YXZ1000R owner you are responsible
for the safe and proper operation of this vehi-
cle. Read this chapter and review the safety
instructions in Chapter 2 before operating the
vehicle. Use these chapters and the labels on
the vehicle to instruct new operators and pas-
sengers. Do not allow anyone else to operate
the vehicle or ride as a passenger if you are
unsure that he/she is willing and able to follow
these instructions.
WARNING
EWB03340
Follow these instructions to reduce your
risk of an accident and to reduce the risk
of serious injury or death in the event of an
accident.

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
This off-road vehicle will handle and maneu-
ver differently from cars, ATVs, go-carts, golf-
cars and grounds-keeping vehicles. The
YXZ1000R has higher ground clearance and
other features to handle rugged terrain, and,
as a result, can overturn in situations where
some vehicles may not. This would include
vehicles made primarily for pavement, roads,
improved paths, or grounds-keeping. If you
do not use care in maneuvering the
YXZ1000R, you can cause it to roll over even
on flat, open areas.
Doing things with a YXZ1000R that some
people do for thrills in other vehicles [such as
sideways sliding, skidding, fishtailing (rear-
wheel sliding), or donuts] have led to side roll-
overs. These rollovers can result in crushed
limbs and other serious injuries or death to
drivers or passengers.
