Always be careful when skidding or sliding.
Learn to safely control skidding or sliding by
practicing at low speeds and on level, smooth
terrain. On extremely slippery surfaces, such
as ice, go slowly and be very cautious in order
to reduce the chance of skidding or sliding out
of control.
Never operate an ATV in fast flowing water or
in water deeper than that recommended in this
manual. Remember that wet brakes may have
reduced stopping ability. Test your brakes after
leaving water. If necessary, apply them several
times to let friction dry out the linings.
Always be sure there are no obstacles or peo-
ple behind you when you operate in reverse.
When it is safe to proceed in reverse, go slowly.
Always use the size and type tires specified in
this manual.
Always maintain proper tire pressure as de-
scribed in this manual.

Check fluid level and fill if necessary. Use only dis-
tilled water if refilling is necessary. (See pages 8-77–
8-83.)
EBU00158
Tires
Always use the recommended tires.
WARNING
Use of improper tires on this ATV, or operation
of this ATV with improper or uneven tire pres-
sure, may cause loss of control, increasing
your risk of accident.
Pay attention to the following.
1. The tires listed below have been approved
by Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. for this model.
Other tire combinations are not recom-
mended.
Manufacturer Size Type
Front DUNLOP AT22
× 7-10 KT701
Rear DUNLOP AT22
× 10-9 KT775B

2. The tires should be set to the recommend-
ed pressure:
Recommended tire pressure
Front 25 kPa (0.25 kgf/cm
2, 0.25 bar)
Rear 25 kPa (0.25 kgf/cm2, 0.25 bar)
Check and adjust tire pressures when the
tires are cold.
Tire pressures must be equal on both
sides.
3. Tire pressure below the minimum speci-
fied could cause the tire to dislodge from
the rim under severe riding conditions.
The following are minimums:
Front 22 kPa (0.22 kgf/cm
2, 0.22 bar)
Rear 22 kPa (0.22 kgf/cm2, 0.22 bar)
4. Use no more than the following pressures
when seating the tire beads.
Front 250 kPa (2.5 kgf/cm2, 2.5 bar)
Rear 250 kPa (2.5 kgf/cm2, 2.5 bar)
Higher pressures may cause the tire to
burst. Inflate the tires very slowly and
carefully. Fast inflation could cause the
tire to burst.
