EBU27469Engine oil and oil filter cartridgeThe engine oil level should be checked before
each ride. In addition, the oil must be changed and
the oil filter cartridge replaced at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart.
To check the engine oil level1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Check the engine oil level on a cold engine.TIPIf the engine was started before checking the oil
level, be sure to warm up the engine sufficiently,
and then wait at least 10 minutes until the oil set-
tles for an accurate reading. 3. Remove the access cover by turning it coun- terclockwise. 4. Remove the engine oil dipstick, and then
wipe it off with a clean rag.

85. Insert the dipstick completely into the oil filler
hole, and then remove it again to check the oil
level.
TIPThe engine oil should be between the minimum
and maximum level marks. 6. If the engine oil is at or below the minimumlevel mark, add sufficient oil of the recom-
mended type to raise it to the correct level.
NOTICE: Be sure the engine oil is at the
correct level, otherwise engine damage
may result.

7. Insert the dipstick completely into the oil filler hole.
8. Install the access cover by turning it clock- wise.
To change the engine oil (with or without oil fil-
ter cartridge replacement) 1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several minu- tes, and then turn it off.
3. Remove the access cover by turning it coun- terclockwise.
4. Place an oil pan under the engine to collect the used oil.
5. Remove the dipstick, and then remove the engine oil drain bolt and its gasket to drain the

12. Refill with the specified amount of the recom-
mended engine oil, and then insert the dip-
stick completely into the oil filler hole.
TIPBe sure to wipe off spilled oil on any parts after the
engine and exhaust system have cooled down. NOTICEECB00301In order to prevent clutch slippage (since the
engine oil also lubricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives. Do not use oils
with a diesel specification of “CD” or oils of
a higher quality than specified. In addition,
do not use oils labeled “ENERGY CONSERV-
ING II” or higher. 
Make sure that no foreign material enters the
crankcase.
13. 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.
14. Turn the engine off, wait at least ten minutes, and then check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.
15. Install the access cover by turning it clock- wise.EBU27307Final gear oilThe final gear case must be checked for oil leak-
age before each ride. If any leakage is found, have
a Yamaha dealer check and repair the ATV. In ad-
dition, the final gear oil level must be checked and
the oil changed as follows at the intervals speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
To check the final gear oil level1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
Recommended oil:
See page 10-1.
Oil quantity: Without oil filter cartridge replacement:2.00 L (2.11 US qt, 1.76 Imp.qt)
With oil filter cartridge replacement: 2.10 L (2.22 US qt, 1.85 Imp.qt)

82. Remove the final gear oil level check bolt and
its gasket, and then check the oil level in the
final gear case. The oil level should be at the
brim of the check hole.
3. If the oil is below the brim of the check hole, remove the final gear oil filler bolt and its gas-
ket, and then add sufficient oil of the recom-
mended type to raise it to the correct level. 4. Check the gaskets for damage, and replace
them if necessary.
5. Install the oil level check bolt, the oil filler bolt and their gasket, and then tighten the bolts to
the specified torques.

EBU23427Differential gear oilThe differential gear case must be checked for oil
leakage before each ride. If any leakage is found,
have a Yamaha dealer check and repair the ATV.

EBU23471CoolantThe coolant level should be checked before each
ride. In addition, the coolant must be changed at
the intervals specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.EBU34201To check the coolant level1. Park the ATV on a level surface.
TIPThe coolant level must be checked on a cold en-
gine since the level varies with engine tempera-
ture. 2. Check the coolant level in the coolant reser- voir.TIPThe coolant should be between the minimum and
maximum level marks.
Recommended differential gear oil:See page 10-1.

3. If the coolant is at or below the minimum level
mark, remove panels A and C to access the
coolant reservoir. (See page 8-10.)
4. Remove the coolant reservoir cap, add cool- ant or distilled water to the maximum level
mark, install the reservoir cap, and then install
the panels. NOTICE: If coolant is not avail-
able, use distilled water or soft tap water
instead. Do not use hard water or salt wa-
ter since they are harmful to the engine. If
water has been used instead of coolant,
replace it with coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise the cooling system will not be
protected against frost and corrosion. If
water has been added to the coolant, have
a Yamaha dealer check the antifreeze con-
tent of the coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise the effectiveness of the coolant
will be reduced.
[ECB01012]
TIP The radiator fan is automatically switched on or
off according to the coolant temperature in the
radiator.
 If the engine overheats, see page 8-65 for fur-
ther instructions. 1. Coolant reservoir capCoolant reservoir capacity (up to the maxi-
mum level mark):
