Operation on different surfaces and
terrains
Go 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 –
even on flat, open areas. These rollovers can
result in crushed limbs and other serious inju-
ries or death to drivers or passengers.
When operating the vehicle in areas which re-
quire the use of a safety flag, mount the safety
flag pole on the flag pole bracket. See page
4-28.
Hills
Choose carefully which hills you attempt to
climb or descend. Avoid hills with slippery
surfaces or those where you will not be able
to see far enough ahead of you. Use common
