4. To tighten the drive chain, turn the drive chain
slack adjusting nut in direction (a). To loosen
the drive chain, turn the adjusting nut in direc-
tion (b) and push the rear wheels forward.
NOTICE: Improper drive chain slack will
overload the engine as well as other vital
parts of the ATV and can lead to drive
chain slippage or breakage. To prevent
this from occurring, keep the drive chain
slack within the specified limits.

improper fuse or a substitute object can
cause damage to the electrical system,
which could lead to a fire.

EBU25721TroubleshootingAlthough Yamaha ATVs receive a thorough in-
spection before shipment from the factory, trouble
may occur during operation. Any problem in the
fuel, compression, or ignition systems, for exam-
ple, can cause poor starting and loss of power.
The following troubleshooting chart represents a
quick and easy procedure for checking these vital
systems yourself. However, should your ATV re-
quire any repair, take it to a Yamaha dealer, whose
skilled technicians have the necessary tools, ex-
perience, and know-how to service the ATV prop-
erly.
Use only genuine Yamaha replacement parts. Im-
itation parts may look like Yamaha parts, but they
are often inferior, have a shorter service life and
can lead to expensive repair bills.
WARNING
EWB02281Do not smoke when checking the fuel system.
Fuel can ignite or explode, causing severe inju-
ry or property damage. Make sure there are no
open flames or sparks in the area, including pi-
lot lights from water heaters or furnaces.
