EBU39831Owner’s Manuals and Tool KitBe sure to always keep this manual, the Winch
Owner’s Manual, the tool kit and the low-pressure
tire gauge with the vehicle. Make sure to protect
the owner’s manuals by putting them in a plastic
bag, and then placing the bag in the document
pouch.
The information included in this manual and the
tools provided in the tool kit are intended to assist
you in the performance of preventive maintenanceand minor repairs. However, additional tools such
as a torque wrench are necessary to perform cer-
tain 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.

EBU38133Checking the spark plugThe 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 ac-
cordance with the periodic maintenance chart. In
addition, the condition of the spark plug can reveal
the condition of the engine.
To remove the spark plug1. Remove panels A, C, and E. (See page 9-9.)
2. Remove the spark plug cap. 3. Remove the spark plug with a spark plug
wrench as shown.
Tightening torques:
Panel bolt:4.0 N·m (0.40 kgf·m, 3.0 lb·ft)
Footboard nut: 4.0 N·m (0.40 kgf·m, 3.0 lb·ft)

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 vehi-
cle is ridden normally).
TIPIf 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 vehicle. 2. Check the spark plug for electrode erosionand 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.
Specified spark plug:

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 speci-
fied torque as soon as possible. 3. Install the spark plug cap.
4. Install the panels.EBU2746DEngine oil and oil filter cartridgeThe 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
specified in the periodic maintenance chart.
To check the engine oil level1. Park the ATV on a level surface.
2. Check the engine oil level on a cold engine.
TIPIf the engine was started before checking the oil
level, warm up the engine, and then wait at least
10 minutes until the oil settles for an accurate
reading. 3. Remove the access cover by turning it coun- terclockwise.
4. Remove the engine oil dipstick, and then wipe it off with a clean rag.

TIPMake sure that the O-ring is properly seated. 9. Install the new oil filter cartridge with an oil fil-ter wrench, and then tighten it to the specified
torque with a torque wrench. 10. Install panel F.
11. Install the engine oil drain bolt and its new
gasket, and then tighten the bolt to the spec-
ified torque.1. O-ring

them if necessary.
5. Install the oil level check bolt, the oil filler bolt and their gasket, and then tighten the bolts to
the specified torques. To change the final gear oil
1. Park the ATV on a level surface.
2. Place an oil pan under the final gear case to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the final gear oil filler bolt, the final gear oil level check bolt, the final gear oil drain
bolt and their gasket to drain the oil from the
final gear case.
4. Install the drain bolt and its new gasket, and then tighten the bolt to the specified torque.

5. Refill with the recommended final gear oil to
the brim of the check hole as shown.
NOTICE: Be sure no foreign material en-
ters the final gear case.

6. Check the oil level check bolt gasket and the oil filler bolt gasket for damage, and replace
them if necessary.
7. Install the oil level check bolt, the oil filler bolt and their gasket, and then tighten the bolts to
the specified torques.
8. Check the final gear case for oil leakage. If oil is leaking, check for the cause.EBU23429Differential gear oilThe 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
chart.

9To check the differential gear oil level
1. Park the ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove the differential gear oil filler bolt and its gasket, and then check the oil level in the
differential 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. 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 differential gear oil 1. Park 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, the differential gear oil drain bolt and their gasket
to drain the oil from the differential gear case.
