To install the panelPlace the panel in the original position, and
then install the quick fastener screws.EBU35434Engine oil and oil filterCheck the engine oil level before each opera-
tion. In addition, change the oil and replace
the filter at the intervals specified in the gen-
eral maintenance and lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Remove panel C (page 8-10). 3. Start the engine and warm it up to a nor-
mal operating temperature (the engine oil
temperature should reach 60 °C [140 °F]),
then let the engine idle for a minimum of
ten seconds before turning the engine off.
TIPIf the engine is cold, take the vehicle for a
short drive or let it idle for approximately ten
minutes before checking the engine oil level. 4. Remove the engine oil tank filler cap and
wipe the dipstick with a clean rag.
5. Insert the dipstick back into the oil tank
(without screwing it in), and then remove
it again to check the oil level.TIPThe engine oil level should be between the tip
of the dipstick and the maximum level mark.

15. Install and tighten the engine oil tank fillercap.
16. 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.
17. Turn the engine off, wait at least ten mi- nutes, and then check the oil level and
correct it if necessary.
18. Install the engine oil tank cover by install- ing the bolts.
19. Install the panel.
To change the engine oil and oil filter 1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Loosen the left and right side panels by removing the bolt as shown. 3. Remove the rear bottom panel by remov-
ing the bolts.

EBU35104Transmission oilCheck the oil level and change the transmis-
sion oil at the intervals specified in the general
maintenance and lubrication chart.
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 (page 8-10).
3. Remove the transmission oil filler cap, wipe the dipstick off with a clean rag, in-
sert it back into the transmission case
(without screwing it in), and then remove
it again to check the oil level.

8. Start the engine and drive the vehicle fora few minutes to circulate the transmis-
sion oil.
9. Park the vehicle on a level surface, stop the engine, and then check the transmis-
sion case for oil leakage.TIPIf oil is leaking confirm that the transmission
oil filler cap is properly installed and then have
a Yamaha dealer check the transmission. 10. Check the transmission oil level and cor- rect if necessary.
11. Install the panel.EBU36050Final gear oilCheck the oil level and change the final gear
oil at the intervals specified in the general
maintenance and lubrication chart.
Checking the final gear oil level 1. Park the vehicle on a level surface. 2. Remove the final gear oil filler bolt and its
gasket, and then check the oil level in the
final gear case. The oil level should be at
the brim of the filler hole.
3. If the oil is below the brim of the filler hole, add sufficient oil of the recommended
type to raise it to the correct level.
NOTICE: Be sure no foreign material
enters the final gear case.

TIPGL-4 is a quality and additive rating; GL-5
rated hypoid gear oils may also be used.
 If desired, an SAE 80W-90 hypoid gear oil
may be used instead. 6. Check the oil filler bolt gasket for dam-
age, and replace it if necessary.
7. Install the oil filler bolt and its gasket, and
then tighten the bolt to the specified
torque.
8. Check for oil leakage. If oil leakage is found, check for the cause.
EBU36060Differential gear oilCheck the oil level and change the differential
gear oil at the intervals specified in the gener-
al maintenance and lubrication chart.
Checking the differential gear oil level1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Remove the differential gear oil filler bolt and its gasket, and then check the oil lev-
el. It should be up to the brim of the filler
hole.
Recommended oil:SAE 80 API GL-4 Hypoid gear oil
Oil quantity: 0.47 L (0.50 US qt, 0.41 Imp.qt)
Tightening torque: Final gear oil filler bolt:23 N·m (2.3 kgf·m, 17 lb·ft)

4. Install the differential gear oil drain boltand its new gasket, and then tighten the
bolt to the specified torque.
5. Refill the differential gear case with the recommended oil. NOTICE: Be sure no
foreign material enters the differential
gear case.

6. Check the oil filler bolt gasket for dam-
age, and replace it if necessary.
7. Install the differential gear oil filler bolt and its gasket, and then tighten the bolt
to the specified torque.
8. Check for oil leakage. If oil leakage is found, check for the cause.EBU35110CoolantCheck the coolant level prior to each time you
operate the vehicle, and have a Yamaha deal-
er change the coolant every two years.
Checking the coolant level

Be careful that water or dust does not
enter the brake or clutch fluid reservoir
when refilling. Water will significantly
lower the boiling point of the fluid and
may result in vapor lock. NOTICEECB01161Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
or plastic parts. Always clean up spilled
fluid immediately. As the brake pads wear, it is normal for the
brake fluid level to gradually go down. A low
brake fluid level may indicate worn brake
pads or brake system l eakage; therefore, be
sure to check the brake pads for wear and the
brake system for leakage. A low clutch fluid
level may indicate clutch system leakage;
therefore, be sure to check the clutch system
for leakage. If the brake or clutch fluid level
goes down suddenly, have a Yamaha dealer
check and repair the vehicle before any fur-
ther operation.
EBU35170Brake and clutch fluid replacementComplete fluid replacement should be done
only by trained Yamaha service personnel.
Have a Yamaha dealer replace the following
components during periodic maintenance or
when they are damaged or leaking.
 Replace the oil seals every two years.
 Replace the brake and clutch hoses every
four years.EBU35181Checking the clutch pedalThe clutch pedal should operate smoothly
and spring back to position when released.
When depressed, it should offer resistance
before reaching the floorboard. If the pedal
offers little resistance when depressed, or if
the transmission grinds gears when shifting,
have a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
