8Never attempt to operate over large obstacles,
such as large rocks or fallen trees. Always fol-
low proper procedures when operating over
obstacles as described in this manual.
8Always be careful when skidding or sliding.
Learn to safely control skidding or sliding by
practicing at low speeds and on level, smooth
terrain. On extremely slippery surfaces, such
as ice, go slowly and be very cautious in order
to reduce the chance of skidding or sliding out
of control.
8Never operate an ATV in fast flowing water or
in water deeper than that recommended in
this manual. Remember that wet brakes may
have reduced stopping ability. Test your
brakes after leaving water. If necessary, apply
them several times to let friction dry out the
linings.
8Always use the size and type tires specified in
this manual.
8Always maintain proper tire pressure as
described in this manual.

Tires
Always use the recommended tires.
w
Use of improper tires on this ATV, or opera-
tion of this ATV with improper or uneven tire
pressure, may cause loss of control, increas-
ing your risk of accident.
Pay attention to the following.
1. The tires listed below have been
approved by Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. for
this model. Other tire combinations are
not recommended.
2. The tires should be set to the recom-
mended pressure:
8Recommended tire pressure
Front 30 kPa (0.3 kg/cm
2, 0.3 bar)
Rear 30 kPa (0.3 kg/cm2, 0.3 bar)
Manufacturer Size Type

Rear DUNLOP AT20 ×10 – 9 KT877

8Check and adjust tire pressures when the
tires are cold.
8Tire pressures must be equal on both
sides.
3. Tire pressure below the minimum speci-
fied could cause the tire to dislodge from
the rim under severe riding conditions.
The following are minimums:
Front 27 kPa (0.27 kg/cm
2, 0.27 bar)
Rear 27 kPa (0.27 kg/cm2, 0.27 bar)
4. Use no more than the following pres-
sures when seating the tire beads.
Front 250 kPa (2.5 kg/cm
2, 2.5 bar)
Rear 250 kPa (2.5 kg/cm2, 2.5 bar)
Higher pressures may cause the tire to
burst. Inflate the tires very slowly and
carefully. Fast inflation could cause the
tire to burst.

How to measure tire pressure
Use the low-pressure tire gauge.
NOTE:
The low-pressure tire gauge is included as stan-
dard equipment. Make two measurements of the
tire pressure and use the second reading. Dust
or dirt in the gauge could cause the first reading
to be incorrect.
Set pressure with tires cold.
Set tire pressures to the following specifications:

To decelerate
When slowing down or stopping, release the
throttle and apply the brakes smoothly and
evenly. As you slow down, shift to a lower gear.
Be sure that the engine has sufficiently slowed
before engaging a lower gear. Improper use of
the brakes or shifting can cause the tires to lose
traction, reducing control and increasing the
possibility of an accident.
w
Make sure the engine has sufficiently slowed
before shifting to a lower gear. Engaging a
lower gear when the engine speed is too
high could make the wheels stop rotating.
This could cause loss of control, an accident
and injury. It could also cause engine or
drive train damage.

w
Always use the size and type tires specified
in the Owner’s Manual for this vehicle on
pages 5-25–5-27. Always maintain proper tire
pressure as described in the Owner’s Manual
on page 5-29. Use of improper tires on this
ATV, or operation of this ATV with improper
or uneven tire pressure, may cause loss of
control, increasing your risk of an accident.
Do not operate at speeds too fast for your
skills or the conditions.
w
Always go at a speed that is proper for the
terrain, visibility and operating conditions,
and your experience. Operating this ATV at
speeds too fast for your skills or the condi-
tions increases your chances of losing con-
trol of the ATV, which can result in an acci-
dent.

cC
Do not shift gears without releasing the
throttle. Damage to the engine or drive train
may occur.
When slowing down or stopping, release the
throttle and apply the brakes smoothly and
evenly. As you slow down, shift to a lower gear.
Be sure that the engine has sufficiently slowed
before engaging a lower gear. Improper use of
the brakes or shifting can cause the tires to lose
