5. Tighten the drain bolt to the specified torque. 6. Check the O-ring for damage, and re-
place it if necessary.
7. Refill the transmission with the specified amount of the recommended oil.
8. Install the transmission oil filler cap.
9. Start the engine and let it idle while checking for oil leakage.
10. Stop the engine and check the oil level one last time.

8. Check for oil leakage. If oil leakage isfound, check for the cause.EBU36061Differential gear oilCheck the oil level and change the differential
gear oil at the intervals specified in the gener-
al maintenance and lubrication chart.NOTICEECB03600When checking or changing the differen-
tial gear oil, make sure that no foreign ma-
terial enters the differential gear case. If
necessary, clean the differential gear oil
filler bolt and surrounding area.
Checking the differential gear oil level 1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Remove the differential gear oil filler bolt
and its gasket, and then check the oil lev-
el. It should be up to the brim of the filler
hole.
3. If the level is low, add sufficient oil of the recommended type to raise it to the
specified level.

TIPGL-4 is a quality and additive rating; GL-5
rated hypoid gear oils may also be used.
 If desired, an SAE 80W-90 hypoid gear oil
may be used instead. 6. Check the oil filler bolt gasket for dam-
age, and replace it if necessary.
7. Install the differential gear oil filler bolt and its gasket, and then tighten the bolt
to the specified torque.
8. Check for oil leakage. If oil leakage is found, check for the cause.
EBU35111CoolantThe coolant level should be checked regular-
ly. In addition, the coolant must be changed
at the intervals specified in the periodic main-
tenance chart.TIPIf genuine Yamaha coolant is not available,
use an ethylene glycol antifreeze containing
corrosion inhibitors for aluminum engines and
mix with distilled water at a 1:1 ratio.
