WARNING
EWB01891Wait for the engine and radiator to cool before
removing the radiator cap. You could be
burned by hot fluid and steam blown out under
pressure. Always place a thick rag over the cap
when opening. Allow any remaining pressure
to escape before completely removing the cap. 1. Park the ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove panels A, B, C, and D. (See page8-10.)
3. Remove the footboard by removing the bolts and nuts. 4. Remove the radiator cap.

6. Place a container under the coolant reservoir
to collect the used coolant.
7. Remove the coolant reservoir cap.
8. Disconnect the coolant reservoir hose on the coolant reservoir side, and then drain the
coolant from the coolant reservoir.
9. After draining the coolant, thoroughly flush the cooling system with clean tap water.
10. Install the coolant drain bolt and its new gas- ket, and then tighten the bolt to the specified
torque. 11. Connect the coolant reservoir hose.
12. Pour the recommended coolant into the radi-
ator until it is full.
13. Pour the recommended coolant into the res- ervoir to the maximum level mark, and then
install the reservoir cap. NOTICE: Mix anti-
freeze with distilled water only. However, if
distilled water is not available, soft water
may be used for refilling. Do not use hard
water or salt water since they are harmful
to the engine.

814. Loosen the water pump air bleed bolt, with-
out removing it, to allow all of the air to es-
cape from the air bleed bolt hole. 15. When coolant begins to flow out of the bolt
hole, tighten the water pump air bleed bolt to
the specified torque.
16. Remove panel E. (See page 8-10.)
17. Loosen the cylinder head air bleed bolt, with- out removing it, to allow all of the air to es-
cape from the air bleed bolt hole.

Recommended antifreeze: High-quality ethylene glycol antifreeze con-
taining corrosion inhibitors for aluminum
engines

18. When coolant begins to flow out of the bolt
hole, tighten the cylinder head air bleed bolt
to the specified torque.
19. Start the engine and let it idle for ten minutes.
20. Rev the engine five times.
21. Pour additional coolant into the radiator until it is full. 22. Stop the engine and allow it to cool. If the
coolant level has dropped after the engine
has cooled, add sufficient coolant until it
reaches the top of the radiator, and then in-
stall the radiator cap.
23. Start the engine, and then check for coolant leakage.
TIPIf any leakage is found, have a Yamaha dealer
check the cooling system. 24. Install the footboard by installing the boltsand nuts, and then tighten them to the speci-
fied torques.

tervals specified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart. Clean or, if necessary, replace
the air filter element more frequently if you are rid-
ing in unusually wet or dusty areas.TIPThere is a check hose at the bottom of the air filter
case. If dust or water collects in this hose, empty
the hose and clean the air filter element and air fil-
ter case. 1. Place the ATV on a level surface.2. Remove the seat. (See page 4-17.)
3. Remove the air filter case cover by unhooking
the air filter case cover holders.

then remove the sponge material from the air
filter element frame. 6. Wash the sponge material gently but thor-
oughly in solvent. WARNING! Always use
parts cleaning solvent to clean the sponge
material. Never use low-flash-point sol-
vents or gasoline to clean the sponge ma-
terial because the engine could catch fire
or explode.
