EBU23211Checking the spark plug The spark plug is an important engine component,
which is easy to check. Since heat and deposits
will cause any spark plug to slowly erode, the spark
plug should be removed and checked in accor-
dance with the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart. In addition, the condition of the spark
plug can reveal the condition of the engine.
To remove the spark plug
1. Remove the spark plug cap.2. Remove the spark plug as shown, with the
spark plug wrench included in the owner’s tool
kit.
To check the spark plug
1. Check that the porcelain insulator around the
center electrode of the spark plug is a medi-
um-to-light tan (the ideal color when the ATV
is ridden normally).
NOTE:If the spark plug shows a distinctly different color,
the engine could be operating improperly. Do not
attempt to diagnose such problems yourself. In-stead, have a Yamaha dealer check the ATV.

82. Check the spark plug for electrode erosion
and excessive carbon or other deposits, and
replace it if necessary.
To install the spark plug
1. Measure the spark plug gap with a wire thick-
ness gauge and, if necessary, adjust the gap
to specification.
2. Clean the surface of the spark plug gasket
and its mating surface, and then wipe off any
grime from the spark plug threads.
3. Install the spark plug with the spark plug
wrench, and then tighten it to the specified
torque. Specified spark plug:
NGK/CPR7EA-9
Spark plug gap:
0.8–0.9 mm (0.031–0.035 in)
1. Spark plug gapTightening torque:
Spark plug:
12.5 Nm (1.25 m·kgf, 9.0 ft·lbf)

NOTE:If a torque wrench is not available when installing
a 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 assoon as possible.
4. Install the spark plug cap.EBU27461Engine oil and oil filter cartridge The engine oil level should be checked before
each ride. In addition, the oil must be changed and
the oil filter cartridge replaced at the intervals spec-
ified in the periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Check the engine oil level on a cold engine.NOTE:If the engine was started before checking the oil
level, be sure to warm up the engine sufficiently,
and then wait at least 10 minutes until the oil settlesfor an accurate reading.
3. Remove panel F. (See page 8-8.)4. Remove the dipstick, and then wipe it off with
a clean rag.
5. Insert the dipstick completely into the oil filler
hole, and then remove it again to check the oil
level.

NOTE:The engine oil should be between the minimumand maximum level marks.
6. If the engine oil is at or below the minimum
level mark, add sufficient oil of the recom-
mended type to raise it to the correct level.
7. Insert the dipstick completely into the oil filler
hole.
8. Install the panel.
CAUTION:ECB00850Be sure the engine oil is at the correct level,otherwise engine damage may result.
To change the engine oil (with or without oil fil-
ter cartridge replacement)
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove panel F. (See page 8-8.)
3. Place an oil pan under the engine to collect
the used oil.
4. Remove the dipstick, and then remove the en-
gine oil drain bolt to drain the oil from the
crankcase.

NOTE:Skip steps 5–9 if the oil filter cartridge is not beingreplaced.
5. Remove panel G. (See page 8-8.)
6. Remove the oil filter cartridge with an oil filter
wrench.NOTE:An oil filter wrench is available at a nearby Yamahadealer.
7. Apply a thin coat of engine oil to the O-ring of
the new oil filter cartridge.
NOTE:Make sure that the O-ring is properly seated.
8. Install the new oil filter cartridge with an oil fil-
ter wrench, and then tighten it to the specified
torque with a torque wrench.

9. Install panel G.
10. Install the engine oil drain bolt, and then tight-
en it to the specified torque.11. Add the specified amount of the recommend-
ed engine oil, and then insert the dipstick com-
pletely into the oil filler hole.
NOTE:Be sure to wipe off spilled oil on any parts after theengine and exhaust system have cooled down.CAUTION:ECB00300In 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.
