9. Check the final gear case for oil leakage. If oil
is leaking, check for the cause.
10. Install the final gear case guard by installing the bolts and tightening them to the specified
torque.
EBU23647Cleaning the air filter elementThe air filter element should be cleaned at the in-
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 4-12.)
3. Remove the air filter case cover by unhookingthe air filter case cover holders.

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.
[EWB01942]
7. Squeeze the excess solvent out of the sponge material and let it dry. NOTICE: Do
not twist the sponge material when
squeezing it.
[ECB00442]
8. Check the sponge material and replace it if damaged.
9. Apply Yamaha foam air filter oil or other qual- ity foam air filter oil to the sponge material.TIPThe sponge material should be wet but not drip-
ping. 10. Pull the sponge material over the air filter ele- ment frame, and then install the lock plate.
11. Insert the air filter element into the air filter case, and then install the air filter case cover
by hooking the holders onto the air filter case.

WARNING
EWB02721Improper maintenance can result in loss of
braking ability. Observe these precautions:
Insufficient brake fluid may allow air to enter
the brake system, reducing braking perfor-
mance.
 Clean the filler cap before removing. Use
only DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed contain-
er. 
Use only the specified brake fluid; otherwise,
the rubber seals may deteriorate, causing
leakage.
 Refill with the same type of brake fluid. Add-
ing a brake fluid other than DOT 4 may result
in a harmful chemical reaction.
 Be careful that water does not enter the
brake fluid reservoir when refilling. Water will
significantly lower the boiling point of the flu-
id and may result in vapor lock.
NOTICEECB01161Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces or
plastic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid im-
mediately. As the brake pads wear, it is normal for the brake
fluid level to gradually go down. A low brake fluid
level may indicate worn brake pads and/or brake
system leakage; therefore, be sure to check the
brake pads for wear and the brake system for
leakage. If the brake fluid level goes down sud-
denly, have a Yamaha dealer check the cause be-
fore further riding.

EBU24283Changing the brake fluidHave a Yamaha dealer change the brake fluid at
the intervals specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart. In addition, have the oil seals
of the brake master cylinder and calipers as well
as the brake hoses replaced at the intervals listed
below or whenever they are damaged or leaking.
Oil seals: Replace every two years.
 Brake hoses: Replace every four years.EBU24395Checking the front brake lever free
playThe brake lever free play must be checked at the
intervals specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart. The brake lever should have
no free play as shown. If there is free play, have a
Yamaha dealer check the brake system.
EBU30691Adjusting the brake pedal height, and
the brake pedal and rear brake lever
free playThe brake pedal height, brake pedal free play, and
rear brake lever free play must be checked and, if
necessary, adjusted at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrication chart.TIP Always perform this maintenance completely in
the following order whenever adjusting the rear
brake.1. No brake lever free play

ly, have a Yamaha dealer check the wheel hub
bearings.
EBU25094Lubricating the steering shaftThe steering shaft must be lubricated by a
Yamaha dealer at the intervals specified in the pe- riodic maintenance and lubrication chart.TIPFor parts equipped with a grease nipple, use a
grease gun.
EBU2918ABatteryThe battery is located under the seat. (See page
4-12.)
This model is equipped with a VRLA (Valve Regu-
lated Lead Acid) battery. There is no need to
check the electrolyte or to add distilled water.
However, the battery lead connections need to be
checked and, if necessary, tightened.
WARNING
EWB02161Battery electrolyte is poisonous and danger-
ous, as it contains sulfuric acid, which can cau-
se severe burns. Avoid contact with skin, eyes
or clothing. Always shield your eyes when
working near batteries.
Antidote:
EXTERNAL: Flush with water.
INTERNAL: Drink large quantities of water or
milk. Follow with milk of magnesia, beaten egg
or vegetable oil. Call a physician immediately.
EYES: Flush with water for 15 minutes and get
prompt medical attention.
Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep
sparks, flame, cigarettes or other sources of
ignition away. Ventilate when charging or using
in an enclosed space.
Recommended lubricant:
Lithium-soap-based grease

84. Remove the burnt-out bulb.
5. Place a new bulb into position.
NOTICE: Do
not touch the glass part of the bulb. Oil
from your fingers or other contamination
will adversely affect the transparency of
the glass, luminosity of the bulb, and bulb
life. Thoroughly clean off any dirt and fin-
gerprints using a cloth moistened with al-
cohol or thinner.
[ECB00653]
6. Install the socket by pushing it in and turning it clockwise. 7. Install the bulb cover and the cover at the rear
of the headlight. NOTICE: Make sure the
bulb cover is securely fitted over the sock-
et and seated properly.
[ECB03320]
8. Adjust the headlight beam if necessary.EBU25553Adjusting a headlight beamNOTICEECB00691It is advisable to have a Yamaha dealer make
this adjustment. To raise a headlight beam, turn the headlight
beam adjusting screw in direction (a).
To lower a headlight beam, turn the adjusting
screw in direction (b).
1. Do not touch the glass part of the bulb.UB1463E0.book Page 43 Thursday, August 4, 2016 2:12 PM

EBU25934StorageShort-term
Always store your ATV in a cool, dry place and, if
necessary, protect it against dust with a porous
cover. NOTICE: Storing the ATV in a poorly ven-
tilated room or covering it with a tarp while it is
still wet, will allow water and humidity to seep
in and cause rust. To prevent corrosion, avoid
damp cellars, stables (because of the presence
of ammonia) and areas where strong chemi-
cals are stored.
[ECB00722]
Long-term
Before storing your ATV for several months: 1. Follow all the instructions in the “Cleaning” section of this chapter.
2. Turn the fuel cock lever to “OFF”.
3. Drain the carburetor float chamber by loosen- ing the drain bolt; this will prevent fuel depos-
its from building up. Pour the drained fuel into
the fuel tank.
4. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel stabilizer (if available) to prevent the fuel from deteriorat-
ing. 5. Perform the following steps to protect the cyl-
inder, piston rings, etc. from corrosion.a. Remove the spark plug cap and spark plug.
b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine oil into the spark plug bore.
c. Install the spark plug cap onto the spark plug, and then place the spark plug on the
cylinder head so that the electrodes are
grounded. (This will limit sparking during
the next step.)
d. Turn the engine over several times with the starter. (This will coat the cylinder wall
with oil.)
e. Remove the spark plug cap from the spark plug, and then install the spark plug and
the spark plug cap.
6. Lubricate all control cables and the pivoting points of all levers and pedals.
7. Check and, if necessary, correct the tire air pressure, and then block up the ATV so that
all of its wheels are off the ground. Alterna-
Specified amount:
7.5 ml of stabilizer to each liter of fuel (or 1
oz of stabilizer to each gallon of fuel)UB1463E0.book Page 2 Thursday, August 4, 2016 2:12 PM
