Measure the spark plug gap with a wire thick-
ness gauge and, if necessary, adjust the gap
to specification.a. Spark plug gap
Installation 1. Clean the surface of the spark plug gas- ket and its mating surface, and then wipe
off any grime from the spark plug
threads.
2. Install the spark plug and tighten it to the
specified torque. If a torque wrench is not
available when you are installing the
spark plug, a good estimate of the correct
torque is one-quarter to one-half turn
past finger tight. Have the spark plug
tightened to the specified torque as soon
as possible.
3. Install the spark plug cap.
4. Lower the cargo bed.
Spark plug gap:
0.8–0.9 mm (0.031–0.035 in)
Tightening torque:Spark plug: 13 Nm (1.3 m·kgf, 9.4 ft·lbf)

2. Remove the tailpipe by pulling it out ofthe muffler, and then remove the gasket.
3. Tap the tailpipe lightly, and then use a
wire brush to remove any carbon depos-
its from the spark arrester portion of the
tailpipe and inside of the tailpipe housing.1. Gasket 2. Spark arrester 3. Tailpipe4. Install the gasket, and then insert thetailpipe into the muffler and align the bolt
holes.
5. Install the bolts and tighten them to the specified torque.
Valve clearanceThe correct valve clearance changes with
use, resulting in improper fuel/air supply or
engine noise. To prevent this, the valve clear-
ance must be adjusted regularly. This adjust-
ment however, should be left to a professional
Yamaha service technician.

EVU00940Wheel installation1. Install the wheel and the nuts.TIPFor YXM700PF/YXM700PHF: tapered nuts
are used for both the front and rear wheels. In-
stall the nuts with their tapered side towards
the wheel.YXM700PF/YXM700PHF1. Tapered nut2. Lower the vehicle so that the wheel is onthe ground. 3. Tighten the wheel nuts in a crisscross
pattern to the specified torque.
WARNING
Do not reverse the rims on your Yamaha
Viking to widen the track width. Installing wheels improperly increases the risk of
wheel failure and accidents.

EVU01010TroubleshootingAlthough Yamaha vehicles receive an inspec-
tion before shipment from the factory, trouble
may occur during operation. Any problem in
the fuel, compression, or ignition systems can
cause poor starting and loss of power. The
troubleshooting chart describes a quick, easy
procedure for making checks. If your vehicle
requires any repair, take it to a Yamaha deal-
er.
The skilled technicians at a Yamaha dealer-
ship have the tools, experience, and know-
how to properly service your vehicle. Use only
genuine Yamaha parts on your vehicle. Imita-
tion parts may look like Yamaha parts, but
they are often inferior. Consequently, they
have a shorter service life and can lead to ex-
pensive repair bills.
Tightening torques:
Panel nut: 7 Nm (0.7 m·kgf, 5.1 ft·lbf)
Panel rear bolt: 4.0 Nm (0.40 m·kgf, 2.9 ft·lbf)
