NOTICEECB03020Do not use oils with a diesel specifica-
tion of “CD” or oils of a higher quality
than specified. In addition, do not use
oils labeled “ENE RGY CONSERVING II”
or higher.
Make sure that no foreign material en-
ters the oil tank. EBU35322TransmissionMake sure there is no oil leaking from the
transmission case.EBU31760CoolantCheck the coolant level in the coolant reser-
voir when the engine is cold (the coolant level
will vary with engine temperature). The coolant level is satisfactory if it is be-
tween the minimum and maximum level
marks on the coolant reservoir. If the coolant
level is at or below the minimum level mark,
add additional coolant to bring the level up to
maximum level mark. If coolant is not avail-
able, add distilled water. Change the coolant
every two years. (See page 8-33.)
NOTICEECB02120Hard water or salt water is harmful to the
engine. You may use soft water if you can-
not get distilled water. EBU36020Final gearMake sure there is no oil leaking from the final
gear case.
Recommended engine oil type and quantity:
See page 10-1.
Coolant reservoir capacity (up to the maxi-
mum level mark):0.31 L (0.33 US qt, 0.28 Imp.qt)

To install the panelPlace the panel in the original position, and
then install the quick fastener screws.EBU35433Engine oil and oil filterCheck the engine oil level before each opera-
tion. In addition, change the oil and replace
the filter at the intervals specified in the gen-
eral maintenance and lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Remove panel C (page 8-10). 3. Start the engine and warm it up to a nor-
mal operating temperature (the engine oil
temperature should reach 60 °C [140 °F]),
then let the engine idle for a minimum of
ten seconds before turning the engine off.
TIPIf the engine is cold, take the vehicle for a
short drive or let it idle for approximately ten
minutes before checking the engine oil level. 4. Remove the engine oil tank filler cap and
wipe the dipstick with a clean rag.
5. Insert the dipstick back into the oil tank
(without screwing it in), and then remove
it again to check the oil level.TIPThe engine oil level should be between the tip
of the dipstick and the maximum level mark.

than specified. In addition, do not use
oils labeled “ENE RGY CONSERVING II”
or higher.
Make sure that no foreign material en-
ters the oil tank.
14. Install and tighten the engine oil tank filler
cap.
15. 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.
16. Turn the engine off, wait at least ten mi- nutes, and then check the oil level and
correct it if necessary.
17. Install the engine oil tank cover by install- ing the bolts.
18. Install the panel.
To change the engine oil and oil filter
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Loosen the left and right side panels by removing the bolt as shown.

the engine, and then check the transmis-
sion case for oil leakage.TIPIf oil is leaking confirm that the transmission
oil filler cap is properly installed and then have
a Yamaha dealer check the transmission. 9. Check the transmission oil level and cor-rect if necessary.
10. Install the panel.
EBU36050Final gear oilCheck the oil level and change the final gear
oil at the intervals specified in the general
maintenance and lubrication chart.
Checking the final gear oil level 1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
