3. Remove the engine oil tank filler cap, wipe
the dipstick clean with a clean rag, insert it
back into the filler hole (without screwing it
in), and then remove it again to check the
oil level.
NOTE:
The engine oil should be between the minimum
and maximum level marks.
4. If the engine oil is below the minimum level
mark, add sufficient oil of the recommend-
ed type through the engine oil tank filler
hole to raise it to the correct level.
NOTE:
When adding oil, be careful not to overfill the
engine oil tank; the oil level rises faster starting
from the half-level-portion on the dipstick.
5. Insert the dipstick into the engine oil tank
filler hole, and then tighten the engine oil
tank filler cap.

8In 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
CONSERVING II” or higher.
8Make sure that no foreign material enters
the crankcase.
15. Start the engine, and then let it idle for sev-
eral minutes while checking it for oil leak-
age. If oil is leaking, immediately turn the
engine off and check for the cause.
16. Turn the engine off, and then check the oil
level and correct it if necessary.

Cooling system
1. Check the coolant level in the coolant
reservoir when the engine is cold as the
coolant level will vary with engine tempera-
ture.
NOTE:
The coolant should be between the minimum
and maximum level marks.
2. If the coolant is at or below the minimum
level mark, remove the coolant reservoir
cap, and then add coolant or distilled water
to raise it to the specified level.

Hard water or salt water is harmful to the
engine. You may use soft water if you can’t
get distilled water.
NOTE:
8If water is added, have a Yamaha dealer
check the antifreeze content of the coolant as
soon as possible.
8The radiator fan operation is completely auto-
matic. It is switched on or off according to the
coolant temperature in the radiator.
If your ATV overheats, see page 8-138 for
details.

12. Install the radiator cap and the coolant
reservoir cap.
13. Start the engine and let it idle for several
minutes. Stop the engine, and then check
the coolant level in the radiator. If it is low,
add more coolant until it reaches the top of
the radiator.
14. Check the coolant level in the reservoir. If it
is low, add coolant to the maximum level
mark.
15. Start the engine and then check for coolant
leakage.
NOTE:
If any leakage is found, have a Yamaha dealer
check the cooling system.
16. Install the panel.

NOTE:
The sponge material should be wet but not drip-
ping.
9. Pull the sponge material over its frame.
10. Install the air filter element by installing the
wing bolt.
11. Install the air filter case cover by hooking
the holders onto the filter case.
12. Install the seat.
NOTE:
The 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. Each time air filter element mainte-
nance is performed, check the air inlet to the air
filter case for obstructions. Check the air intake
duct between the air filter case and the throttle
body and the manifold fittings for an airtight seal.
Tighten all fittings securely to avoid the possibili-
ty of unfiltered air entering the engine.
