EBU35660Flag pole bracketThis model is equipped with a flag pole brack-
et.NOTICEECB03010Do not use the flag pole bracket as a cargo
hook.
EBU35031Adjusting the front shock absorber as-
sembliesThe shock absorber assemblies are equipped
with a spring preload adjusting nut, a rebound
damping force adjusting screw, a high speed
compression damping force adjusting bolt,
and a low speed compression damping force
adjusting screw.
WARNING
EWB02492Suspension components become hot
during operation. Never touch the com-
pression damping force adjusting bolt
and screw, the rebound damping force
adjusting screw or the oil reservoir with
your bare hand or skin until suspension
components have cooled.
Always adjust the shock absorber as-
semblies on the left and right side to the
same setting. Uneven adjustment can
cause poor handling and loss of stability,
which could lead to an accident.

Become familiar with the way the vehicle han-
dles in the various drive modes. Start off with
two-wheel drive “2WD”, then four-wheel drive
“4WD”, and finally four-wheel drive with the
differential locked “DIFF LOCK”. Steering
may take more effort in four-wheel drive with
the differential locked “DIFF LOCK”. Also
practice driving in reverse.TIPTake the time to learn basic operation of the
vehicle before driving at higher speeds or at-
tempting more difficult maneuvers.
Getting ready to ride
Perform the pre-operation checks on page
5-1. Follow the instructions on page 6-2 when
starting the engine.
Turning
Use care in turns — turning the steering wheel
too far or too fast can result in loss of control
or a rollover. Slow down before entering
turns. When making tight turns from a stand-
still or at slow speeds, avoid sudden or hard
acceleration. Driving aggressively or making
abrupt maneuvers even on flat, open areas
can cause side rollovers. Avoid sideways slid-
ing, skidding, or back-wheel sliding, and nev-
er do donuts. If you feel the vehicle begin to
slide sideways or the back wheels slide dur-
ing a turn, steer into the direction of the slide,
if possible, and gradually let off the accelera-
tor pedal to regain directional control and
avoid rollover. For example, if you feel the
back of the vehicle start to slide to your right,
steer to the right.

EBU35423Air filter maintenanceThis model is equipped with two air filter ele-
ments, a primary foam-type air filter and a
secondary paper-type air filter.
The primary air filter is easily accessed and
should be cleaned and oiled every 300–600
km (200–400 mi).
The secondary air filter is more difficult to ac-
cess, cannot be cleaned, and should be re-
placed by a Yamaha dealer every 2000–5000
km (1200–3000 mi).
TIPService the air filters more frequently when
operating in wet or dusy environments. Whenever air filter maintenance is performed:
check the air inlet for obstructions and the
air filter case for dirt and foreign matter.
check the air filter case check hoses for dirt
or water and clean as necessary.
check the air filter case joints and the rub-
ber joints to and from the throttle body for
proper fit and sealing.
tighten all fittings securely to avoid the pos-
sibility of unfiltered air entering the engine.NOTICEECB02270Never operate the engine with the air filter
element removed. Doing so would allow
unfiltered air to enter, causing rapid en-
gine wear and possible engine damage.
