specified torque.
8. Check the final gear case for oil leakage. If oil
is leaking, check for the cause.9. Install the final gear case guard by installing
the bolts and tightening them to the specified
torque.
EBU23434Changing the differential gear oil The differential gear case must be checked for oil
leakage before each ride. If any leakage is found,
have a Yamaha dealer check and repair the ATV.
In addition, the differential gear oil must be
changed as follows at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication chart.
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Place an oil pan under the differential gear
case to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the differential gear oil filler bolt and
the differential gear oil drain bolt to drain the
oil from the differential gear case.

4. Install the drain bolt, and then tighten it to the
specified torque.5. Refill with the specified amount of the recom-
mended differential gear oil. NOTICE: Be
sure no foreign material enters the differ-
ential gear case.
[ECB00411]
TIP
Do not exceed the specified differential gear oil
quantity when filling. Overfilling will cause the oil
to seep out of the breather hose during and after
riding.
The differential gear case capacity is greater
than the recommended oil quantity, therefore
the oil level cannot be accurately checked from
the oil filler hole.6. Install the oil filler bolt, and then tighten it to the
specified torque.

age. If oil is leaking, check for the cause.
EBU23646Cleaning the air filter element The air filter element should be cleaned at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart. Clean or, if necessary, replace
the air filter element more frequently if you are
riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.TIPThere is a check hose at the bottom of the air filter
case. If dust or water collects in this hose, empty
the hose and clean the air filter element and air fil-
ter case.
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove the seat. (See page 4-14.)
3. Remove the air filter case cover by unhooking
the air filter case cover holders. Tightening torque:

86. Wash the sponge material gently but thor-
oughly in solvent. WARNING! Always use
parts cleaning solvent to clean the sponge
material. Never use low-flash-point sol-
vents or gasoline to clean the sponge ma-
terial because the engine could catch fire
or explode.
[EWB01941]
7. Squeeze the excess solvent out of the sponge
material and let it dry. NOTICE: Do not twist
the sponge material when squeezing it.
[ECB00441]
8. Check the sponge material and replace it if
damaged.
9. Apply Yamaha foam air filter oil or other qual-
ity foam air filter oil to the sponge material.TIPThe sponge material should be wet but not drip-
ping.10. Pull the sponge material over the air filter ele-
ment frame, and then install the lock plate.
11. Insert the air filter element into the air filter
case, and then install the air filter case cover
by hooking the holders onto the air filter case.
NOTICE: Make sure that the air filter ele-
ment is properly seated in the air filter

8 case. Never operate the engine with the air
filter element removed. This will allow un-
filtered air to enter the engine, causing rap-
id engine wear and possible engine
damage. Additionally, operation without
the air filter element will affect carburetor
jetting with subsequent poor performance
and possible engine overheating.
[ECB00461]
12. Install the seat.TIPThe 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. Check the air filter case rubber
joint to the carburetor fittings and the rubber joint
manifold fittings for an air-tight seal. Tighten all fit-
tings securely to avoid the possibility of unfiltered
air entering the engine.EBU27081Cleaning the spark arrester Be sure the exhaust pipe and muffler are cool be-
fore cleaning the spark arrester.
1. Remove the bolts.2. Remove the tailpipe by pulling it out of the
muffler.
3. Tap the tailpipe lightly, and then use a wire
brush to remove any carbon deposits from the
spark arrester portion of the tailpipe and inside
of the tailpipe housing.

5. Install the bolts and tighten them to the speci-
fied torque.
WARNING
EWB02340Do not start the engine when cleaning the
spark arrester, otherwise it could cause injury
to the eyes, burns, carbon monoxide poison-
ing, possibly leading to death, and start a fire.
Always let the exhaust system cool prior to
touching exhaust components.EBU23920V-belt cooling duct check hose If dust or water collects in the V-belt cooling duct
