NOTICE●
In order to prevent clutch slippage
(since the engine oil also lubricates
the clutch), do not mix any chemical
additives with oil. 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 “EN-
ERGY CONSERVING II” or higher.
●
Make sure that no foreign material en-
ters 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 10 min- utes, and then check the oil level and cor-
rect it if necessary.
14. Install the right rear panel by installing the bolts and the quick fastener screws. 15. Lower the cargo bed.1XP7C_EE.book Page 14 Monday, June 9, 2014 5:17 PM

5B410025StorageLong term storage (60 days or more) of your
vehicle will require some preventive proce-
dures to guard against deterioration. Make
any necessary repairs before storing the vehi-
cle.
After thoroughly cleaning the vehicle, prepare
for storage as follows:1. Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add
the specified amount of Yamaha Fuel
Stabilizer and Conditioner or equivalent
product. Operate the vehicle for at least
5 minutes to distribute treated fuel
through the fuel system. 2. Remove the spark plug, pour about one
tablespoon of SAE 10W-40 or 20W-50
motor oil in the spark plug hole and install
the spark plug. Ground the spark plug
wire and turn the engine over several
times to coat the cylinder wall with oil.
3. Lubricate all control cables.
4. Block up the frame to raise all wheels off the ground.
5. Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust pipe outlet to prevent moisture from entering.
6. If storing in a humid or salt-air atmo-
sphere, coat all exposed metal surfaces
with a light film of oil. Do not apply oil to
any rubber parts or the seat covers.
Specified amount:
1 oz of stabilizer to each gallon of fuel (or
7.5 ml of stabilizer to each liter of fuel)1XP7C_EE.book Page 3 Monday, June 9, 2014 5:17 PM
