TIPBe sure to wipe off spilled oil on any parts after the
engine and exhaust system have cooled down. NOTICEECB00301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. Check the engine oil filler cap O-ring for dam-
age, and replace it if necessary. 11. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler hole, and
then tighten the engine oil filler cap.
12. 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.
13. Turn the engine off, wait at least ten minutes, and then check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.
EBU23387Final gear oilThe 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 speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
To check the final gear oil level1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove the final gear oil filler bolt and its gas- ket, and then check the oil level in the final
gear case. The oil level should be at the brim
of the filler hole.
Recommended oil:
See page 10-1.
Oil quantity: Without oil filter cartridge replacement:2.20 L (2.33 US qt, 1.94 Imp.qt)
With oil filter cartridge replacement: 2.30 L (2.43 US qt, 2.02 Imp.qt)

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. Check the gasket for damage, and replace it if necessary.
5. Install the oil filler bolt and its gasket, and then tighten the bolt to the specified torque. To change the final gear oil
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove the final gear case guard by remov- ing the bolts.

EBU23647Cleaning the air filter elementThe 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 rid-
ing 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 4-12.)
3. Remove the air filter case cover by unhookingthe air filter case cover holders.

6. Wash the sponge material gently but thor-
oughly in solvent. WARNING! Always use
parts cleaning solvent to clean the sponge
material. Never use low-flash-point sol-
vents or gasoline to clean the sponge ma-
terial because the engine could catch fire
or explode.
[EWB01942]
7. Squeeze the excess solvent out of the sponge material and let it dry. NOTICE: Do
not twist the sponge material when
squeezing it.
[ECB00442]
8. Check the sponge material and replace it if damaged.
9. Apply Yamaha foam air filter oil or other qual- ity foam air filter oil to the sponge material.TIPThe sponge material should be wet but not drip-
ping. 10. Pull the sponge material over the air filter ele- ment frame, and then install the lock plate.
11. Insert the air filter element into the air filter case, and then install the air filter case cover
by hooking the holders onto the air filter case.
NOTICE: Make sure that the air filter ele-
ment is properly seated in the air filter

8case. Never operate the engine with the air
filter element removed. This will allow un-
filtered air to enter the engine, causing
rapid engine wear and possible engine
damage. Additionally, operation without
the air filter element will affect carburetor
jetting with subsequent poor performance
and possible engine overheating.
[ECB00462]
12. Install the seat.TIPThe 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 the air filter element main-
tenance is performed, check the air inlet of the air
filter case for obstructions. Check the air filter
case rubber joint to the carburetor fittings and the
rubber joint manifold fittings for an air-tight seal.
Tighten all fittings securely to avoid the possibility
of unfiltered air entering the engine. EBU27083Cleaning the spark arresterBe sure the exhaust pipe and muffler are cool be-
fore cleaning the spark arrester.
1. Remove the tailpipe bolts. 2. Remove the tailpipe by pulling it out of the
muffler.
3. Tap the tailpipe lightly, and then use a wire brush to remove any carbon deposits from
the spark arrester portion of the tailpipe and
inside of the tailpipe housing.
