3. Place an oil pan under the engine to collect
the used oil.
4. Remove the engine oil filler cap, and then re-
move the engine oil drain bolt to drain the oil
from the crankcase.
5. Check the O-ring for damage and replace it if
necessary.
6. Install the engine oil drain bolt, and then tight-
en it to the specified torque.7. Add the specified amount of the recommend-
ed engine oil, and then install and tighten the
engine oil filler cap.CAUTION:
ECB00300

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 specified. In addition,
do not use oils labeled “ENERGY CONSERV-
ING II” or higher.

Make sure that no foreign material enters the
crankcase.
8. Start the engine, and then let it idle for several

is leaking, immediately turn the engine off and
check for the cause.
9. Turn the engine off, and then check the oil lev-
el and correct it if necessary.

Final gear oil
The final gear case must be checked for oil leak-
age before each ride. If any leakage is found, have
a Yamaha dealer check and repair the ATV. In ad-
dition, the final gear oil level must be checked and
the oil changed as follows at the intervals specified
in the periodic maintenance and lubrication chart.
To check the final gear oil level
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
NOTE:

The final gear oil level must be checked on a cold
engine.
2. Remove the final gear oil filler cap, wipe the
dipstick off with a clean rag, insert it back into
the oil filler hole (without screwing it in), and
then remove it again to check the oil level.
NOTE:

The final gear oil should be between the minimum
and maximum level marks.
3. If the oil is at or below the minimum level mark,
add sufficient oil of the recommended type to
raise it to the correct level.
4. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler hole, and
then tighten the oil filler cap.

CAUTION:

ECB00440
Do not twist the sponge material when squeez-
ing it.
6. Check the sponge material and replace it if
damaged.
7. Apply a quality foam air filter oil to the sponge
material.
NOTE:

The sponge material should be wet but not drip-
ping.
8. Install the sponge material into the air filter el-
ement.
9. Place the air filter element in the original posi-
tion, and then hook the holder.
10. Install the air filter case cover by hooking the
holders onto the air filter case.
11. Install the panel by installing the bolts.
NOTE:

The air filter element should be cleaned every 20–
40 hours. It should be cleaned and lubricated more
often if the ATV is operated in extremely dusty ar-
eas. Each time the air filter element maintenance
is performed, check the air inlet of the air filter case
for obstructions.
CAUTION:

ECB00460

Make sure that the air filter element is prop-
erly seated in the air filter case.

Never operate the engine with the air filter el-
ement removed. This will allow unfiltered air
to enter the engine, causing rapid engine
wear and possible engine damage. Addition-
ally, operation without the air filter element
will affect carburetor jetting with subsequent
poor performance and possible engine over-
heating.

Removing the air intake restrictor plate
To obtain full engine performance capability, re-
moving the air intake restrictor plate is required.
1. Remove the air filter element. (See
page 8-12.)
2. Remove the air intake restrictor plate.

Adjusting the clutch free play
The clutch free play must be adjusted periodically.
Adjust the free play as follows.
1. Remove the rubber cap.
2. Loosen the locknut.
3. Slowly turn the adjusting bolt clockwise until
resistance is felt, and then turn it 1/8 counter-
clockwise.
NOTE:

Turning the adjusting bolt in decreases clutch free
play and turning it out increases clutch free play.
4. Tighten the locknut to the specified torque.
NOTE:

When tightening the locknut, hold the adjusting
bolt with a screwdriver so that the adjusting bolt
does not turn together with the locknut.
5. Install the rubber cap securely.
EBU24900
Checking and lubricating the cables
The operation and the condition of all control ca-
bles should be checked before each ride, and the
cables and cable ends should be lubricated if nec-
essary. If a cable is damaged or does not move
smoothly, have a Yamaha dealer check or replace
it.

Storage
Short-term
Always store your ATV in a cool, dry place and, if
necessary, protect it against dust with a porous
cover.
CAUTION:

ECB00720

Storing the ATV in a poorly ventilated room
or covering it with a tarp while it is still wet,
will allow water and humidity to seep in and
cause rust.

To prevent corrosion, avoid damp cellars,
stables (because of the presence of ammo-
nia) and areas where strong chemicals are
stored.
Long-term
Before storing your ATV for several months:
1. Follow all the instructions in the “Cleaning”
section of this chapter.
2. Turn the fuel cock lever to “OFF”.
3. Drain the carburetor float chamber by loosen-ing the drain bolt; this will prevent fuel deposits
from building up. Pour the drained fuel into the
fuel tank.
4. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel stabilizer (if
available) to prevent the fuel from deteriorat-
ing.
5. Perform the following steps to protect the cyl-
inder, piston rings, etc. from corrosion.
a. Remove the spark plug cap and spark
plug.
b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine oil into the
spark plug bore.
c. Install the spark plug cap onto the spark
plug, and then place the spark plug on the
cylinder head so that the electrodes are
grounded. (This will limit sparking during
the next step.)
d. Turn the engine over several times with
the starter. (This will coat the cylinder wall
with oil.)
e. Remove the spark plug cap from the spark
plug, and then install the spark plug and Specified amount:
7.5 ml of stabilizer to each liter of fuel (or 1 oz
of stabilizer to each gallon of fuel)
