PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
EBU19224Inspect your vehicle each time you use it to make sure the vehicle is in safe operating condition. Always
follow the inspection and maintenance procedures and schedules described in the Owner’s Manual.
WARNING
EWB00481Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an accident or equip-
ment damage. Do not operate the vehicle if you find any problem. If a problem cannot be corrected
by the procedures provided in this manual, have the vehicle inspected by a Yamaha dealer.Before using this vehicle, check the following points:
ITEM ROUTINE PAGE
FuelCheck fuel level in fuel tank, and add recommended fuel if neces-
sary.
Check fuel line for leakage. Correct if necessary.4-10, 5-3
Engine oilCheck oil level in engine, and add recommended oil to specified lev-
el if necessary.
Check ATV for oil leakage. Correct if necessary.5-3, 8-12
Final gear oilCheck ATV for oil leakage. Correct if necessary. 5-3, 8-16
Differential gear oilCheck ATV for oil leakage. Correct if necessary. 5-3, 8-18
Front brakeCheck operation. If soft or spongy, have Yamaha dealer bleed hy-
draulic system.
Check brake pads for wear, and replace if necessary.
Check brake fluid level in reservoir, and add recommended brake
fluid to specified level if necessary.
Check hydraulic system for leakage. Correct if necessary.5-3, 8-28, 8-29, 8-30

EBU19541Fuel Make sure that there is sufficient fuel in the tank.
(See page 4-10.)EBU19560Engine oil Make sure that the engine oil is at the specified lev-
el. Add oil as necessary. (See page 8-12.)EBU19590Final gear oil Make sure that the final gear oil is at the specified
level. Add oil as necessary. (See page 8-16.)EBU19600Differential gear oil Make sure that the differential gear oil is at the
specified level. Add oil as necessary. (See page
8-18.)EBU27671Front and rear brakes Brake levers and brake pedal
Check that there is no free play in the front brake
lever. If there is free play, have a Yamaha dealer
check the brake system.

Check for correct free play in the rear brake lever
and brake pedal. If the free play is incorrect, ad-
just it. (See page 8-31.)
Check operation of the levers and pedal. They
should move smoothly and there should be a
firm feeling when the brake is applied. If not,
have a Yamaha dealer check them.
Brake fluid level (front brake)
Check the brake fluid level. Add fluid if necessary.
(See page 8-29.)
Brake fluid leakage (front brake)
Check to see if any brake fluid is leaking out of the
hose, joint or brake fluid reservoir of the front
brake. Apply the brake firmly for one minute. If the
lever moves slowly inward, there may be a leak in
the brake system. If there is any leakage, the brake
system should be checked by a Yamaha dealer.Recommended brake fluid:
DOT 4

7. Install the oil filler bolt, and then tighten it to the
specified torque.
8. Check the final gear case for oil leakage. If oil
is leaking, check for the cause.9. Install the final gear case guard by installing
the bolts and tightening them to the specified
torque.
EBU23434Changing the differential gear oil The differential gear case must be checked for oil
leakage before each ride. If any leakage is found,
have a Yamaha dealer check and repair the ATV.
In addition, the differential gear oil must be
changed as follows at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication chart.
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Place an oil pan under the differential gear
case to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the differential gear oil filler bolt and
the differential gear oil drain bolt to drain the
oil from the differential gear case.
1. Final gear oil
2. Final gear oil filler bolt
3. Correct oil levelRecommended final gear oil:
See page 10-1.
Tightening torque:
Final gear oil filler bolt:
23 Nm (2.3 m·kgf, 17 ft·lbf)
Tightening torque:
Final gear case guard bolt:
16 Nm (1.6 m·kgf, 11 ft·lbf)

4. Install the drain bolt, and then tighten it to the
specified torque.5. Refill with the specified amount of the recom-
mended differential gear oil. NOTICE: Be
sure no foreign material enters the differ-
ential gear case.
[ECB00411]
TIP
Do not exceed the specified differential gear oil
quantity when filling. Overfilling will cause the oil
to seep out of the breather hose during and after
riding.
The differential gear case capacity is greater
than the recommended oil quantity, therefore
the oil level cannot be accurately checked from
the oil filler hole.6. Install the oil filler bolt, and then tighten it to the
specified torque.
1. Differential gear oil filler bolt
1. Differential gear oil drain bolt
Tightening torque:
Differential gear oil drain bolt:
10 Nm (1.0 m·kgf, 7.2 ft·lbf)
Recommended differential gear oil:
See page 10-1.
Oil quantity:
0.35 L (0.37 US qt, 0.31 Imp.qt)

87. Check the differential gear case for oil leak-
age. If oil is leaking, check for the cause.
EBU23646Cleaning the air filter element The air filter element should be cleaned at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart. Clean or, if necessary, replace
the air filter element more frequently if you are
riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.TIPThere is a check hose at the bottom of the air filter
case. If dust or water collects in this hose, empty
the hose and clean the air filter element and air fil-
ter case.
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove the seat. (See page 4-14.)
3. Remove the air filter case cover by unhooking
the air filter case cover holders. Tightening torque:
Differential gear oil filler bolt:
23 Nm (2.3 m·kgf, 17 ft·lbf)1. Air filter case check hose
