NOTICEECB02910When checking or changing the transmis-
sion oil, make sure that no foreign material
enters the transmission. If necessary,
clean the filler cap and surrounding area. To check the transmission oil level1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Remove panel B. (See page 9-10.)
3. Remove the transmission oil filler cap, wipe the dipstick clean, insert it back into
the transmission case (without screwing
it in), and then remove it again.
TIPThe transmission oil level should be between
the tip of the dipstick and the maximum level
mark. 4. If the oil level is at or below the tip of thedipstick, add oil.

To change the transmission oil 1. Place an oil pan under the transmission case to collect the used oil.
2. Remove the transmission oil filler cap.
3. Remove the transmission oil drain bolt and gasket.
TIPOil will flow out immediately when the drain
bolt is loosened. Take care not to lose the
bolt. 4. After draining the oil, install the transmis-sion oil drain bolt with a new gasket.

gear oil at the intervals specified in the period-
ic maintenance 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

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. NOTICEECB02190Mix antifreeze with distilled water only.
However, if distilled water is not available,
soft water may be used for refilling. Do not
use hard water or salt water since they are
harmful to the engine. To check the coolant level1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Wait for the engine to cool for an accurate
reading.
3. Look at the coolant level in the coolant
reservoir. 4. If the coolant is at or below the minimum
level mark, remove panel C. (See page
9-10.)
5. Remove the coolant reservoir cap, add coolant up to the maximum level mark,
and then install the cap. NOTICE: If cool-
ant is not available, use distilled water
or soft tap water instead. Do not use
hard water or salt water since they are
harmful to the engine. If water has
been used instead of coolant, replace
