Engine oil and oil filter cartridge
The engine oil level should be checked before
each ride. In addition, the oil must be changed and
the oil filter cartridge replaced at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Remove panel F. (See page 8-33 for panel
removal and installation procedures.)
2. Place the ATV on a level surface.
3. Start the engine, warm it up for several min-
utes, and then turn it off.
4. Wait a few minutes until the oil settles.
5. Remove the engine oil filler cap and wipe off
the dipstick with a clean rag.

6. Insert the dipstick in the oil filler hole (without
screwing it in), and then remove it again to
check the oil level.NOTE:_ The engine oil should be between the minimum
and maximum level marks. _7. If the engine oil is at or below the minimum
level mark, add sufficient oil of the recom-
mended type to raise it to the correct level.
8. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler hole, and
then tighten the oil filler cap.
9. Install the panel.

CAUTION:_

In order to prevent clutch slippage (since
the engine oil also lubricates the clutch),
do not mix any chemical additives. Do not
use oils with a diesel specification of
“CD” or oils of a higher quality than spec-
ified. In addition, do not use oils labeled
“ENERGY CONSERVING II” or higher.


Make sure that no foreign material enters
the crankcase.
_12. Start the engine and warm it up for several
minutes. While warming up, check for oil
leakage. If oil leakage is found, turn the en-
gine off immediately and check for the cause.
13. Turn the engine off, and then check the oil
level and correct it if necessary.
14. Install panel F.

Cooling system
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Check the coolant level in the coolant reser-
voir when the engine is cold as the coolant
level will vary with engine temperature.NOTE:_ The coolant level should be between the minimum
and maximum level marks. _

CAUTION:_ Hard water or salt water is harmful to the en-
gine. You may use soft water if you cannot get
distilled water. _14. Start the engine and let it idle for several min-
utes. Stop the engine, and then check the
coolant level in the radiator. If it is low, add
more coolant until it reaches the top of the ra-
diator.
15. Check for coolant leakage.NOTE:_ If any leakage is found, ask a Yamaha dealer to in-
spect the cooling system. _16. Install the panels and the front carrier.

9. Pull the air filter element over its frame.
10. Install the air filter element.
11. Install the air filter case cover and be sure to
connect the hose.
12. Install the seat.NOTE:_ The air filter element should be cleaned every 20–
40 hours. It should be cleaned and lubricated more
often if the machine is operated in extremely dusty
areas. Each time air filter element maintenance is
performed, check the air inlet to the air filter case
for obstructions. Check the air filter element rubber
joint to the carburetor and manifold fittings for an
airtight seal. Tighten all fittings securely to avoid
the possibility of unfiltered air entering the engine. _CAUTION:_ Never operate the engine with the air filter ele-
ment removed. This will allow unfiltered air to
enter, causing rapid engine wear and possible
engine damage. Additionally, operation with-
out the air filter element will affect carburetor
jetting with subsequent poor performance and
possible engine overheating. _
