8To install the spark plug
1. Clean the surface of the spark plug gasket and its mating surface, and then wipe off any
grime from the spark plug threads.
2. Install the spark plug with the spark plug wrench, and then tighten it to the specified
torque.
TIPIf a torque wrench is not available when installing
the spark plug, a good estimate of the correct
torque is 1/4–1/2 turn past finger tight. However,
the spark plug should be tightened to the speci-
fied torque as soon as possible. 3. Install the spark plug cap.EBU30245Engine 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 chart.
To check the engine oil level1. Park the ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove panel E. (See page 8-10.)
3. Check the engine oil level on a cold engine.
1. Spark plug gapSpark plug gap: 0.6–0.7 mm (0.024–0.028 in)
Tightening torque:Spark plug:18 N·m (1.8 kgf·m, 13 lb·ft)

87. Check the filler cap O-ring for damage, and
replace it if necessary.
8. Install the engine oil filler cap and the panel.
To change the engine oil (and replace the oil fil-
ter cartridge) 1. Park the ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove panel E. (See page 8-10.)
3. Start the engine, warm it up for several min- utes, and then turn it off.
4. Place an oil pan under the engine to collect the used oil.
5. Remove the engine oil filler cap, and then re- move the engine oil drain bolt and its gasket
to drain the oil from the crankcase.
TIPSkip steps 6–10 if the oil filter cartridge is not be-
ing replaced. 6. Remove panels C and D. (See page 8-10.)
7. Remove the oil filter cartridge with an oil filterwrench.1. Engine oil drain bolt

dealer. 8. Apply a thin coat of engine oil to the O-ring ofthe new oil filter cartridge.TIPMake sure that the O-ring is properly seated. 9. Install the new oil filter cartridge with an oil fil-ter wrench, and then tighten it to the specified
torque with a torque wrench.

11. Install the engine oil drain bolt and its new gasket, and then tighten the bolt to the spec-
ified torque. 12. Refill with the specified amount of the recom-
mended engine oil.
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.

87. Squeeze out the excess moisture, and let dry.
NOTICE: Do not twist the sponge material
when squeezing it.
[ECB00442]
8. Check the air filter elements (sponge material) for damage, replace if necessary.
9. Apply YAMALUBE Foam Air Filter Oil (or equivalent) to the air filter elements.TIPThe sponge material should be wet but not drip-
ping. 10. Install the sub air filter element.
11. Install the main air filter element onto its frame, then the lock plate, and then install the
main air filter assembly. 12. Install the air filter case cover by hooking the
holders onto the cover. NOTICE: Make sure
that the air filter element is properly seated
in the air filter case. Never operate the en-
gine with the air filter element removed.
Doing so would allow unfiltered air to enter
the engine, causing rapid engine wear and
possible engine damage. Additionally, the
fuel injection system would be affected re-
sulting in poor engine performance and
possible overheating.

13. Install the seat.EBU28905Cleaning the spark arresterBe sure the exhaust pipe and muffler are cool be-
fore cleaning the spark arrester.
