TIPIf the spark plug shows a distinctly different color,
the engine could be operating improperly. Do not
attempt to diagnose such problems yourself. In-
stead, have a Yamaha dealer check the ATV.2. Check the spark plug for electrode erosion
and excessive carbon or other deposits, and
replace it if necessary.
3. Measure the spark plug gap with a wire thick-
ness gauge and, if necessary, adjust the gap
to specification.
To install the spark plug
1. Clean the surface of the spark plug gasket
and its mating surface, and then wipe off any
grime from the spark plug threads.
2. Install the spark plug with the spark plug
wrench, and then tighten it to the specified
torque. Specified spark plug:

TIPIf a torque wrench is not available when installing
the spark plug, a good estimate of the correct
torque is 1/4–1/2 turn past finger tight. However,
the spark plug should be tightened to the specified
torque as soon as possible.3. Install the spark plug cap.EBU27466Engine 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 spec-
ified in the periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Check the engine oil level on a cold engine.
TIPIf the engine was started before checking the oil
level, be sure to warm up the engine sufficiently,
and then wait at least 10 minutes until the oil settles
for an accurate reading.3. Remove panel F. (See page 8-10.)
4. Remove the engine oil dipstick, and then wipe
it off with a clean rag.
5. Insert the dipstick completely into the oil filler
hole, and then remove it again to check the oil
level. Tightening torque:
Spark plug:
13 Nm (1.3 m·kgf, 9.4 ft·lbf)1. Engine oil dipstick

dealer.7. Apply a thin coat of engine oil to the O-ring of
the new oil filter cartridge.
TIPMake sure that the O-ring is properly seated.8. Install the new oil filter cartridge with an oil fil-

mended engine oil, and then insert the dip-
stick completely into the oil filler hole.
TIPBe sure to wipe off spilled oil on any parts after the
engine and exhaust system have cooled down.NOTICEECB00300
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.
