EBU32620Tire replacementAlways use the same size and type of tires
recommended in this owner’s manual. The
tires that came with your Yamaha Viking were
designed to match the performance capabili-
ties and to provide the best combination of
handling, braking, and comfort. It is best to
replace all four tires at the same time. If that is
not possible, you must replace the tires inpairs (front or rear) with tires of the same size
and type as the originals. Never replace just
one tire.
WARNING
EWB03390Installing improper tires on your Yamaha
Viking can affect handling and stability.
This can cause a loss of control. The tires listed below have been approved by
Yamaha Motor Manufacturing Corporation of
America for this model.

nuts are used for both the front and rear
wheels. Install the nuts with their tapered side
towards the wheel. YXM70VPXG / YXM70VPHG2. Lower the vehicle so that the wheel is on the ground. 3. Tighten the wheel nuts in a crisscross
pattern to the specified torque.
WARNING

Viking to widen the track width. Installing
wheels improperly increases the risk of
wheel failure and accidents. EBU32640BatteryThe battery is located under the hood. (See

NOTICEECB00641To prevent accidental short-circuiting,
turn off the main switch when checking or
replacing a fuse. 2. Remove the hood. (See page 8-10 forhood removal and installation proce-
dures.)
3. Remove the blown fuse, and then install a new fuse of the specified amperage.
WARNING! Always use a fuse of the specified amperage. Never use any
material in place of the proper fuse.
Using an improper fuse can cause
damage to the electrical system and
may lead to a fire.

CLEANING AND STORAGE
EBU32730CleaningFrequent, thorough cleaning of your vehicle
will not only enhance its appearance but will
improve its general performance and extend
the useful life of many components.1. Before cleaning the vehicle: a. Block off the end of the exhaust pipeto prevent water entry. A plastic bag
and strong rubber band may be used.
b. Make sure the spark plug and all filler caps are properly installed.
2. If the engine case is excessively greasy, apply degreaser with a paint brush. Do
not apply degreaser to the wheel axles.
3. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off with a garden hose. Use only enough pressure
to do the job. WARNING! Test the
brakes after washing. Apply the
brakes several times at slow speeds to
let friction dry out the linings. Wet brakes may have reduced stopping
ability, increasing the chance of an ac-
cident.
[EWB03470]

NOTICE: Excessive wa-
ter pressure may cause water seepage
and deterioration of wheel bearings,
brakes, transmission seals and electri-
cal devices. Many expensive repair
bills have resulted from improper high-
pressure detergent applications such
as those available in coin-operated car
washers.
[ECB00712]
TIPThe tailgate can be removed to make it easier
to clean the cargo bed. To separate the tail-
gate from the cargo bed, unhook the latches,
lift the left side of the tailgate and pull the tail-
gate to the left. 4. Once the majority of the dirt has been hosed off, wash all surfaces with warm
water and mild, detergent-type soap. An
old toothbrush or bottle brush is handy
for hard-to-get-at places.

5. Rinse the vehicle off immediately with
clean water and dry all surfaces with a
clean chamois towel or soft, absorbent
cloth.
6. Clean the seats with a vinyl upholstery
cleaner to keep the covers pliable and
glossy.
7. Automotive-type wax may be applied to
all painted and chrome-plated surfaces.
Avoid combination cleaner-waxes. Many
contain abrasives which may scratch the
paint or protective finish. When finished,
start the engine and let it idle for several
minutes.EBU32740StorageLong term storage (60 days or more) of your
vehicle will require some preventive proce-
dures to guard against deterioration. Make
any necessary repairs before storing the vehi-
cle. After thoroughly cleaning the vehicle, prepare
for storage as follows:
1. Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add the specified amount of Yamaha Fuel
Stabilizer and Conditioner or equivalent
product. Operate the vehicle for at least 5
minutes to distribute treated fuel through
the fuel system.
2. Remove the spark plug, pour about one tablespoon of SAE 10W-40 or 20W-50
motor oil in the spark plug hole and install
the spark plug. Ground the spark plug
wire and turn the engine over several
times to coat the cylinder wall with oil.
3. Lubricate all control cables.
4. Block up the frame to raise all wheels off the ground.
Specified amount:1 oz of stabilizer to each gallon of fuel (or
7.5 ml of stabilizer to each liter of fuel)
