EBU21731Owner’s manual and tool kit Be sure to put this owner’s manual in the plastic
bag and always carry it on the bottom of the seat
as shown. Put the owner’s tool kit and low-pres-
sure tire gauge under the seat.
The service information included in this manual
and the tools provided in the owner’s tool kit are in-
tended to assist you in the performance of preven-
tive maintenance and minor repairs. However,additional tools such as a torque wrench may be
necessary to perform certain maintenance work
correctly.
TIPIf you do not have the tools or experience required
for a particular job, have a Yamaha dealer perform
it for you.

82. Check the spark plug for electrode erosion
and excessive carbon or other deposits, and
replace it if necessary.
3. Measure the spark plug gap with a wire thick-
ness gauge and, if necessary, adjust the gap
to specification.To install the spark plug
1. Clean the surface of the spark plug gasket
and its mating surface, and then wipe off any
grime from the spark plug threads.
2. Install the spark plug with the spark plug
wrench, and then tighten it to the specified
torque.
TIPIf a torque wrench is not available when installing
the spark plug, a good estimate of the correct
torque is 1/4–1/2 turn past finger tight. However,
the spark plug should be tightened to the specified
torque as soon as possible.3. Install the spark plug cap. Specified spark plug:
NGK/DR8EA

dealer.6. Apply a thin coat of engine oil to the O-ring of
the new oil filter cartridge.TIPMake sure that the O-ring is properly seated.7. Install the new oil filter cartridge with an oil fil-
ter wrench, and then tighten it to the specified
torque with a torque wrench.

gasket, and then tighten the bolt to the speci-
fied torque.9. Refill with the specified amount of the recom-
mended engine oil, and then install and tight-
en the engine oil filler cap.
TIPBe sure to wipe off spilled oil on any parts after the
engine and exhaust system have cooled down.NOTICEECB00300
In 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 CONSERV-
ING II” or higher.

Make sure that no foreign material enters the
crankcase.10. 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.
11. Turn the engine off, wait at least ten minutes,
and then check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.EBU28575Final gear oil The final gear case must be checked for oil leak-
age before each ride. If any leakage is found, have
a Yamaha dealer check and repair the ATV. In ad-
dition, the final gear oil level must be checked and
the oil changed as follows at the intervals specified
in the periodic maintenance and lubrication chart.
To check the final gear oil level
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove the final gear oil filler bolt and its O-
ring, 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.
4. Install the oil filler bolt and its new O-ring, and
then tighten the bolt to the specified torque.

8To change the final gear oil
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove the engine guard and the final gear
case guard by removing the bolts.
3. Place an oil pan under the final gear case to
collect the used oil.
4. Remove the final gear oil filler bolt, the final
gear oil drain bolt and their O-ring to drain the
oil from the final gear case.5. Install the drain bolt and its new O-ring, and
then tighten the bolt to the specified torque.
6. Refill with the recommended final gear oil to
the brim of the filler hole as shown. NOTICE:
Be sure no foreign material enters the final
gear case.
