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:
NGK/CR7HSA

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.EBU23268Engine oil The engine oil level should be checked before
each ride. In addition, the oil must be changed at
the intervals specified 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 ten minutes until the oil set-
tles for an accurate reading.3. Remove the engine oil filler cap, and then
wipe the engine oil dipstick off with a clean
rag.
4. Insert the dipstick into the filler hole (without
screwing it in), and then remove it again to
check the oil level. Tightening torque:

5. Clean the oil strainer with solvent.
6. Apply a thin coat of clean engine oil to a new
O-ring.
7. Install the oil strainer, the compression spring,
the new O-ring and the engine oil drain bolt.
Tighten the engine oil drain bolt to the speci-
fied torque. NOTICE: Before installing the
engine oil drain bolt, be sure to install the
O-ring, compression spring and oil strain-
er.

8. Refill with the specified amount of the recom-
mended engine oil, and then install and tight-
en the engine oil filler cap.TIPBe sure to wipe off spilled oil on any parts after the
engine and exhaust system have cooled down.NOTICEECB00330
Do not use oils with a diesel specification of
“CD” or oils of a higher quality than speci-
fied. In addition, do not use oils labeled “EN-
ERGY CONSERVING II” or higher.
Make sure that no foreign material enters the
crankcase.

torque.
7. Check the oil filler bolt gasket for damage, and
replace it if necessary.8. Install the transmission oil filler bolt and its
gasket, and then tighten the bolt to the speci-
fied torque.
To change the transmission oil
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several min-
utes, and then turn it off.
3. Place an oil pan under the transmission to col-
lect the used oil.
4. Remove the transmission oil filler bolt, the
transmission oil drain bolt and their gasket to
