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

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.

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.

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.
