Differential gear oil
Checking the differential gear oil level
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Remove the differential gear oil filler bolt and
its gasket, and then check the oil level. It
should be up to the brim of the filler hole.
3. If the level is low, add sufficient oil of the rec-
ommended type to raise it to the specified
level. NOTICE: Be sure no foreign material
enters the differential gear case.
4. Check the gasket for damage, and replace it
if necessary.
5. Reinstall the differential gear oil filler bolt and
its gasket, and then tighten the bolt to the
specified torque.
Tightening torque:
Differential gear oil filler bolt:
23 Nm (2.3 m·kgf, 17 ft·lbf)

2. Remove the differential gear case guard by
removing the bolts and the collars.
3. Place an oil pan under the differential gear
case to collect the used oil.
4. Remove the differential gear oil filler bolt, the
differential gear oil drain bolt and their gasket
to drain the oil.
5. Reinstall the differential gear oil drain bolt
and its new gasket, and tighten the bolt to the
specified torque.

6. Refill the differential gear case with the rec-
ommended oil. NOTICE: Be sure no foreign
material enters the differential gear case.
7. Check the oil filler bolt gasket for damage,
and replace it if necessary.
8. Reinstall the differential gear oil filler bolt and
its gasket, and then tighten the bolt to the
specified torque.
9. Check for oil leakage. If oil leakage is found,
check for the cause. Recommended oil:

Installation
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 and tighten it to the
specified torque. If a torque wrench is not
available when you are installing the spark
plug, a good estimate of the correct torque is
one-quarter to one-half turn past finger tight.
Have the spark plug tightened to the speci-
fied torque as soon as possible.
3. Install the spark plug cap.
4. Reinstall the console.Tightening torque:
Spark plug:
13 Nm (1.3 m·kgf, 9.4 ft·lbf)

Cleaning the spark arrester
WARNING
Hot exhaust system may cause burns. To
avoid burns or fires, make sure that the engine
is stopped and the exhaust system is cool be-
fore cleaning the spark arrester. Do not start
the engine while cleaning the exhaust system.1. Remove the tailpipe bolts.
2. Remove the tailpipe by pulling it out of the
muffler, and then remove the gasket.
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.
4. Install the gasket, and then insert the tailpipe
into the muffler and align the bolt holes.
5. Install the bolts and tighten them to the spec-
ified torque.

Valve clearance
The correct valve clearance changes with use, re-
sulting in improper fuel/air supply or engine noise.
To prevent this, the valve clearance must be ad-
justed regularly. This adjustment however, should
be left to a professional Yamaha service techni-
cian.Tightening torque:

Wheel installation
1. Install the wheel and the nuts.


The arrow mark on the tire must point
toward the rotating direction of the wheel.


Tapered nuts are used for both the front
and rear wheels. Install the nuts with their
tapered side towards the wheel.
2. Lower the vehicle so that the wheel is on the
ground.
3. Tighten the wheel nuts in crisscross pattern
to the specified torque.
WARNING
Do not reverse the rims on the Rhino to widen
the track width. Installing wheels improperly
increases the risk of wheel failure and acci-
dents.
Wheel nut torque:
Front: 55 Nm (5.5 m·kgf, 40 ft·lbf)
Rear: 55 Nm (5.5 m·kgf, 40 ft·lbf)
