86. Check the oil filler bolt gasket for damage,
and replace it if necessary.
7. Install the oil filler bolt and its gasket, and then tighten the bolt to the specified torque.
8. Check the differential gear case for oil leak- age. If oil is leaking, check for the cause.
EBU23471CoolantThe 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.EBU34201To check the coolant level1. Park 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 and
maximum level marks.
Recommended differential gear oil:See page 10-1.

3. If the coolant is at or below the minimum level
mark, remove panels A and C to access the
coolant reservoir. (See page 8-10.)
4. Remove the coolant reservoir cap, add cool- ant or distilled water to the maximum level
mark, install the reservoir cap, and then install
the panels. NOTICE: If coolant is not avail-
able, use distilled water or soft tap water
instead. Do not use hard water or salt wa-
ter since they are harmful to the engine. If
water has been used instead of coolant,
replace it with coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise the cooling system will not be
protected 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,
otherwise the effectiveness of the coolant
will be reduced.

TIP The radiator fan is automatically switched on or
off according to the coolant temperature in the
radiator.
 If the engine overheats, see page 8-68 for fur-
ther instructions. 1. Coolant reservoir capCoolant reservoir capacity (up to the maxi-
mum level mark):

EBU34210To change the coolant
WARNING
EWB01891Wait for the engine and radiator to cool before
removing the radiator cap. You could be
burned by hot fluid and steam blown out under
pressure. Always place a thick rag over the cap
when opening. Allow any remaining pressure
to escape before completely removing the cap. 1. Park the ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove panels A, B, C, and D. (See page8-10.)
3. Remove the footboard by removing the bolts and nuts. 4. Place a container under the engine, and then
remove the coolant drain bolt and its gasket.
(Use a trough or a similar object as shown to
prevent coolant from spilling on the engine
guard.)

88. After draining the coolant, thoroughly flush
the cooling system with clean tap water.
9. Install the coolant drain bolt and its new gas- ket, and then tighten the bolt to the specified
torque.
10. Connect the coolant reservoir hose.
11. Pour the recommended coolant into the radi- ator until it is full. 12. Pour the recommended coolant into the res-
ervoir to the maximum level mark, and then
install the reservoir cap. NOTICE: Mix anti-
freeze with distilled water only. However, if
distilled water is not available, soft water
may be used for refilling. Do not use hard
water or salt water since they are harmful
to the engine.

13. Loosen the water pump air bleed bolt, with- out removing it, to allow all of the air to es-
cape 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.
15. Remove panel E. (See page 8-10.)
16. Loosen the cylinder head air bleed bolt, with- out removing it, to allow all of the air to es-
cape from the air bleed bolt hole. 17. When coolant begins to flow out of the bolt
hole, tighten the cylinder head air bleed bolt
to the specified torque.
18. Start the engine and let it idle for ten minutes.
19. Rev the engine five times.
20. Pour additional coolant into the radiator until it is full.

821. Stop the engine and allow it to cool. If the
coolant level has dropped after the engine
has cooled, add sufficient coolant until it
reaches the top of the radiator, and then in-
stall the radiator cap.
22. Start the engine, and then check for coolant leakage.
TIPIf any leakage is found, have a Yamaha dealer
check the cooling system. 23. Install the footboard by installing the boltsand nuts, and then tighten them to the speci-
fied torques.

The figures quoted are emission levels and are not
necessarily safe working levels. Whilst there is a
correlation between the emission and exposure
levels, this cannot be used reliably to determine
whether or not further precautions are required.
Factors that influence the actual level of exposure
of work-force include the characteristics of the
work room, the other sources of noise, etc. i.e. the
number of machines and other adjacent process-
es, and the length of time for which an operator is
exposed to the noise. Also the permissible expo-
