2. Start the engine, warm it up for several min-
utes, and then turn it off.
3. Place an oil pan under the transmission to col-
lect the used oil.
4. Remove the oil filler cap and the drain bolt to
drain the oil from the transmission.
5. Install the drain bolt, and then tighten it to the
specified torque.6. Add the specified amount of the recommend-
ed transmission oil, and then install and tight-
en the oil filler cap.
CAUTION:
ECB00430

In order to prevent clutch slippage (since the
transmission 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 ad-
dition, do not use oils labeled “ENERGY
CONSERVING II” or higher.

Make sure that no foreign material enters the
crankcase.
7. Start the engine, and then let it idle for several
minutes while checking the transmission for
oil leakage. If oil is leaking, immediately turn
the engine off and check for the cause.
8. Turn the engine off, and then check the oil lev-
el and correct it if necessary.

7. After draining the coolant, thoroughly flush the
cooling system with clean tap water.
8. Replace the coolant drain bolt washers if they
are damaged, and then tighten the coolant
drain bolts to the specified torque.
9. Connect the coolant reservoir hose.
10. Pour the recommended coolant into the reser-voir to the maximum level mark, and then in-
stall the reservoir cap.
11. Pour the recommended coolant into the radia-
tor until it is full.
CAUTION:

If coolant is not available, use distilled water
or soft tap water instead. Do not use hard wa-
ter or salt water since it is harmful to the en-
gine.

If water has been used instead of coolant, re-
place it with coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise the cooling system will not be pro-

Changing the settings of the carburetors
To change the settings of the carburetors, you
need to disassemble and remove them. Follow the
procedures for both carburetors.
Disassembling and removing the carburetors
1. Turn the fuel cock to the “OFF” position.
2. Turn out the carburetor drain screw to drain
the fuel.
3. Remove the seat.
4. Remove the radiator cover and side cover by
removing the screws.5. Disconnect the fuel hoses.
6. Remove the fuel tank by removing the bolts.
7. Remove the air filter case cover by unhooking
the holders.

brakes after washing. Apply the brakes several
times at slow speeds to let friction dry out the
linings.

Storage
Short-term
Always store your ATV in a cool, dry place and, if
necessary, protect it against dust with a porous
cover.
CAUTION:

ECB00720

Storing the ATV in a poorly ventilated room
or covering it with a tarp while it is still wet,
will allow water and humidity to seep in and
cause rust.

To prevent corrosion, avoid damp cellars,
stables (because of the presence of ammo-
nia) and areas where strong chemicals are
stored.
Long-term
Before storing your ATV for several months:
1. Follow all the instructions in the “Cleaning”section of this chapter.
2. Turn the fuel cock lever to “OFF”.
3. Drain the carburetor float chamber by loosen-
ing the drain bolt; this will prevent fuel deposits
from building up. Pour the drained fuel into the
fuel tank.
4. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel stabilizer (if
available) to prevent the fuel from deteriorat-
ing.
5. Perform the following steps to protect the cyl-
inders, piston rings, etc. from corrosion.
a. Remove the spark plug caps and spark
plugs.
b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine oil into each
spark plug bore.
c. Install the spark plug caps onto the spark
plugs, and then place the spark plugs on
the cylinder head so that the electrodes
are grounded. (This will limit sparking dur-
ing the next step.)
d. Turn the engine over several times with
the starter. (This will coat the cylinder walls Specified amount:
7.5 ml of stabilizer to each liter of fuel (or 1 oz
of stabilizer to each gallon of fuel)
