11. Refill with the specified amount of the recom-
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. NOTICEECB00301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.
12. Start the engine, and then let it idle for several
minutes while checking it for oil leakage. If oil
is leaking, immediately turn the engine off and
check for the cause.
13. Turn the engine off, wait at least ten minutes, and then check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.
14. Install the access cover by turning it clock- wise.EBU27307Final gear oilThe 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 speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
To check the final gear oil level1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
Recommended oil:
See page 10-1.
Oil quantity: Without oil filter cartridge replacement:2.00 L (2.11 US qt, 1.76 Imp.qt)
With oil filter cartridge replacement: 2.10 L (2.22 US qt, 1.85 Imp.qt)

To change the final gear oil
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Place an oil pan under the final gear case to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the final gear oil filler bolt, the final gear oil level check bolt, the final gear oil drain
bolt and their gasket to drain the oil from the
final gear case.
4. Install the drain bolt and its new gasket, and then tighten the bolt to the specified torque. 5. Refill with the recommended final gear oil to
the brim of the check hole as shown.
NOTICE: Be sure no foreign material en-
ters the final gear case.

86. Check the oil level check bolt gasket and the
oil filler bolt gasket for damage, and replace
them if necessary.
7. Install the oil level check bolt, the oil filler bolt and their gasket, and then tighten the bolts to
the specified torques.
8. Check the final gear case for oil leakage. If oil is leaking, check for the cause.
EBU23427Differential gear oilThe 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 level must be
checked and the oil changed as follows at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart. To check the differential gear oil level
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove the differential gear oil filler bolt and its gasket, and then check the oil level in the
differential gear case. The oil level should be
at the brim of the filler hole.
3. If the oil is below the brim of the filler hole, add sufficient oil of the recommended type to
raise it to the correct level.
4. Check the gasket for damage, and replace it if necessary.
Tightening torques:
Final gear oil level check bolt:10 Nm (1.0 m·kgf, 7.2 ft·lbf)
Final gear oil filler bolt: 23 Nm (2.3 m·kgf, 17 ft·lbf)

ride. In addition, the coolant must be changed at
the intervals specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.EBU27129To check the coolant level1. Place the ATV on a level surface.

gine since the level varies with engine tempera-
ture. 2. Check the coolant level in the coolant reser- voir.TIPThe coolant should be between the minimum and
maximum level marks.

EBU25093Lubricating the steering shaftThe steering shaft must be lubricated by a
Yamaha dealer at the intervals specified in the pe- riodic maintenance and lubrication chart.TIPFor parts equipped with a grease nipple, use a
grease gun. EBU2904DBatteryThe battery is located under panel A. (See page
8-10.)
This model is equipped with a VRLA (Valve Regu-
lated Lead Acid) battery. There is no need to
check the electrolyte or to add distilled water.
However, the battery lead connections need to be
checked and, if necessary, tightened.
WARNING
EWB02161Battery electrolyte is poisonous and danger-
ous, as it contains sulfuric acid, which can
cause severe burns. Avoid contact with skin,
eyes or clothing. Always shield your eyes when
working near batteries.
Antidote:
EXTERNAL: Flush with water.
INTERNAL: Drink large quantities of water or
milk. Follow with milk of magnesia, beaten egg
or vegetable oil. Call a physician immediately.
EYES: Flush with water for 15 minutes and get
prompt medical attention.
Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep
sparks, flame, cigarettes or other sources of
ignition away. Ventilate when charging or using
in an enclosed space.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. NOTICEECB00621Never attempt to remove the battery cell seals,
as this would permanently damage the battery.
Recommended lubricant: Lithium-soap-based grease
