TIPBe sure to wipe off spilled oil on any parts after the
engine and exhaust system have cooled down. NOTICEECB00331Do not use oils with a diesel specification of
“CD” or oils of a higher quality than speci-
fied. In addition, do not use oils labeled “EN-
ERGY CONSERVING II” or higher.
Make sure that no foreign material enters the
crankcase. 9. Check the engine oil filler cap O-ring for dam-
age, and then install and tighten the engine oil
filler cap.
10. 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.
11. Turn the engine off, wait at least ten minutes, and then check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.
EBU38620Why YamalubeYAMALUBE oil is a Genuine YAMAHA Part born ofthe engineers’ passion and belief that engine oil is
an important liquid engine component. We form
teams of specialists in the fields of mechanical en-
gineering, chemistry, electronics and track test-
ing, and have them develop the engine together
with the oil it will use. Yamalube oils take full ad-
vantage of the base oil’s qualities and blend in the
ideal balance of additives to make sure the final oil
clears our performance standards. Thus,
Yamalube mineral, semi synthetic and synthetic
oils have their own distinct characters and value.
Yamaha’s experience gained over many years of research and development into oil since the
1960’s helps make Yamalube the best choice for
your Yamaha engine.

EBU34472Transmission oilThe transmission case must be checked for oil
leakage before each ride. If any leakage is found,
have a Yamaha dealer check and repair the ATV.
In addition, the transmission oil must be changed
at the intervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart.
To change the transmission oil1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Place an oil pan under the transmission case to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the transmission oil filler cap and its O-ring from the transmission case. 4. Remove the transmission oil drain bolt and its
gasket to drain the oil from the transmission
case.

specified torque.
6. Refill with the specified amount of the recom- mended oil. NOTICE: Make sure that no
foreign material enters the transmission
case.

9. Check the transmission case for oil leakage. If oil is leaking, check for the cause.EBU34110Cleaning the air filter elementThe air filter element should be serviced 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.

2. Remove the seat. (See page 4-13.)
3. Remove the air filter case cover by unhooking
the air filter case cover holders. 4. Remove the air filter element, and clean it with
solvent. WARNING! Always use parts
cleaning solvent to clean the air filter ele-
ment. Never use low-flash-point solvents
or gasoline to clean the air filter element
because the engine could catch fire or ex-
plode.

ment removed. This will allow unfiltered air
to enter the engine, causing rapid engine
wear and possible engine damage. Addi-
tionally, operation without the air filter ele-
ment will affect carburetor jetting with
subsequent poor performance and possi-
ble engine overheating.
[ECB00462]
10. Install the seat.TIPThe air filter element should be cleaned every 20–
40 hours. It should be cleaned and lubricated
more often if the ATV is operated in extremely dusty areas. When servicing the air filter element,
be sure to check the air inlet of the air filter case
for obstructions.

wire brush to remove any carbon deposits.
4. Insert the spark arrester into the muffler and align the bolt hole.
5. Install the tailpipe bolt and nut, and then tight- en the nut to the specified torque.
WARNING
EWB02342Always let the exhaust system cool prior to
touching exhaust components.
Do not start the engine with the spark arrester
removed. Sparks or exhaust particulate can
cause eye injury, burns, or start a fire. EBU23941Adjusting the carburetorThe carburetor should be checked and, if neces-
sary, adjusted at the intervals specified in the pe-
riodic maintenance and lubrication chart. The
carburetor is an important part of the engine and
requires very sophisticated adjustment. There-
fore, most carburetor adjustments should be left to a Yamaha dealer, who has the necessary pro-
fessional knowledge and experience. The adjust-
ment described in the following section, however,
may be performed by the owner as part of routine
maintenance.
NOTICEECB00481The carburetor has been set and extensively
tested at the Yamaha factory. Changing these
settings without sufficient technical knowl-
edge may result in poor performance of or
damage to the engine. EBU24001Adjusting the engine idling speedThe engine idling speed must be checked and, if
necessary, adjusted as follows at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart.TIPA diagnostic tachometer is needed to make this
adjustment. 1. Start the engine and warm it up.
