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.

CLEANING AND STORAGE
EBU25903CleaningFrequent, thorough cleaning of your ATV will not
only enhance its appearance but will improve its
general performance and extend the useful life of
many components.1. Before cleaning the ATV: a. Block off the end of the exhaust pipe toprevent water entry. A plastic bag and
strong rubber band may be used.
b. Make sure the spark plug and all filler caps are properly installed.
2. If the engine case is excessively greasy, apply degreaser with a paint brush. Do not apply
degreaser to the chain, sprockets or wheel
axles.
3. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off with a garden hose. Use only enough pressure to do the
job. WARNING! Wet brakes may have re-
duced stopping ability, increasing the
chance of an accident. Test the brakes af-
ter washing. Apply the brakes several
times at slow speeds to let friction dry out
the linings.
[EWB02312]
NOTICE: Excessive wa- ter pressure may cause water seepage
and deterioration of wheel bearings,
brakes, transmission seals and electrical
devices. Many expensive repair bills have
resulted from improper high-pressure de-
tergent applications such as those avail-
able in coin-operated car washers.
[ECB00712]
4. Once most of the dirt has been hosed off,
wash all surfaces with warm water and mild,
detergent-type soap. An old toothbrush or
bottle brush is handy for hard-to-reach plac-
es.
5. Rinse the ATV off immediately with clean wa- ter and dry all surfaces with a chamois, clean
towel or soft absorbing cloth.
6. Dry the chain and lubricate it to prevent it from rusting.
7. Clean the seat with a vinyl upholstery cleaner to keep the cover pliable and glossy.
8. Automotive type wax may be applied to all painted and chrome plated surfaces. Avoid
combination cleaner-waxes. Many contain

9e. Install the spark plug and the spark plug
cap.
6. Lubricate all control cables and the pivoting points of all levers.
7. Put the frame on stands or blocks to raise all wheels off the ground. (Alternatively, turn the
wheels each month to prevent the tires from
degrading in one spot.)
8. Cover the muffler outlet with a plastic bag to prevent moisture from entering it.
9. Remove the battery and fully charge it. (See page 8-32.)
