87. Check the final gear case for oil leakage. If oil
is leaking, check for the cause.
EBU23422Differential 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 level must be
checked and the oil changed as follows at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
To check the differential gear oil level
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.TIPThe differential gear oil level must be checked ona cold engine.2. Remove the differential gear oil filler bolt, and
then check the oil level in the differential gear
case.
TIPThe 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 then tighten it to the
specified torque. Tightening torques:
Final gear oil level check bolt:
10 Nm (1.0 m·kgf, 7.2 ft·lbf)
Final gear oil filler bolt:
23 Nm (2.3 m·kgf, 17 ft·lbf)1. Differential gear oil

8 To change the differential gear oil
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.
4. Install the drain bolt, and then tighten it to the
specified torque.5. Refill with the recommended differential gear
oil to the brim of the filler hole as shown. Tightening torque:

NOTICEECB00410Be sure no foreign material enters the differen-tial gear case.
6. Install the oil filler bolt, and then tighten it to the
specified torque.
7. Check the differential gear case for oil leak-
age. If oil is leaking, check for the cause.EBU23470Coolant The coolant level should be checked before each
ride. In addition, the coolant must be changed at
the intervals specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.EBU27123To check the coolant level
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
TIPThe coolant level must be checked on a cold en-
gine since the level varies with engine tempera-ture.
2. Check the coolant level in the coolant reser-
voir.TIPThe coolant should be between the minimum andmaximum level marks.
3. If the coolant is at or below the minimum level
mark, remove panel D. (See page 8-8.) Tightening torque:

7. Disconnect the hose on the coolant reservoir
side, and then drain the coolant from the cool-
ant reservoir.8. After draining the coolant, thoroughly flush the
cooling system with clean tap water.
9. Replace the coolant drain bolt washer if it is
damaged, install the coolant drain bolt, and
then tighten it to the specified torque.
10. Connect the coolant reservoir hose.
11. Pour the recommended coolant into the radia-
tor until it is full.

812. Pour the recommended coolant into the reser-
voir to the maximum level mark, and then in-
stall the reservoir cap.
NOTICEECB00401
If coolant is not available, use distilled water
or soft tap water instead. Do not use hard wa-
ter or salt water since it is harmful to the en-
gine.
If water has been used instead of coolant, re-
place it with coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise the cooling system will not be pro-
tected against frost and corrosion.

If water has been added to the coolant, have
a Yamaha dealer check the antifreeze con-
tent of the coolant as soon as possible, oth-
erwise the effectiveness of the coolant willbe reduced.
13. Loosen the water pump air bleed bolt, without
removing it, to allow all of the air to escape
from the air bleed bolt hole.
14. When coolant begins to flow out of the bolt
hole, tighten the water pump air bleed bolt to
the specified torque. Antifreeze/water mixture ratio:
1:1
Recommended antifreeze:
High-quality ethylene glycol antifreeze con-
taining corrosion inhibitors for aluminum en-
gines
Coolant quantity:
Radiator capacity (including all routes):
1.99 L (2.10 US qt, 1.75 Imp.qt)

mum level mark):
