TIPSkip steps 7–9 if the oil filter cartridge is not
being replaced. 7. Remove the oil filter cartridge with an oilfilter wrench. Make sure that the O-ring is
removed together with the oil filter car-
tridge. If the O-ring remains attached to
the crankcase, oil leakage may occur.
TIPAn oil filter wrench is available from a Yamaha
dealer. 8. Apply a light coat of clean engine oil tothe O-ring of the new oil filter cartridge.TIPMake sure that the O-ring is properly seated.

9. Install the new oil filter cartridge with anoil filter wrench, and then tighten it to the
specified torque with a torque wrench. 10. Install the engine oil drain bolt and its new
gasket, and then tighten the bolt to the
specified torque.
11. Refill with the specified amount of recom- mended engine oil, and then insert the
dipstick completely into the oil filler hole.1. O-ringTightening torque:Oil filter cartridge:17 Nm (1.7 m·kgf, 12 ft·lbf)

TIPBe sure to wipe off spilled oil on any parts af-
ter the engine and exhaust system have
cooled down. NOTICEECB00301In order to prevent clutch slippage (since
the engine oil also lubricates the clutch),
do not mix any chemical additives. Do
not use oils with a diesel specification of
“CD” or oils of a higher quality than
specified. In addition, do not use oils la-
beled “ENERGY CONSERVING II” or
higher. 
Make sure that no foreign material en-
ters the crankcase.
12. Start the engine, and then let it idle for
several minutes while checking it for oil
leakage. If oil is leaking, immediately turn
the engine off and check for the cause.
13. Turn the engine off, wait at least 10 minu-
tes, and then check the oil level and cor-
rect it if necessary.
14. Install the right rear panel by installing the
bolts and the quick fastener screws.
15. Lower the cargo bed.EBU36050Final gear oilCheck the oil level and change the final gear
oil at the intervals specified in the general
maintenance and lubrication chart.
Checking the final gear oil level 1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
Recommended engine oil: See page 10-1.
Oil quantity: Without oil filter cartridge replacement:2.20 L (2.33 US qt, 1.94 Imp.qt)
With oil filter cartridge replacement: 2.30 L (2.43 US qt, 2.02 Imp.qt)

6. Check the oil filler bolt gasket for dam-age, and replace it if necessary.
7. Install the differential gear oil filler bolt and its gasket, and then tighten the bolt
to the specified torque.
8. Check for oil leakage. If oil leakage is found, check for the cause.EBU32990CoolantThe coolant level should be checked before
each ride.
Checking the coolant level
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir when the engine is cold as the
coolant level varies with engine tempera-
ture.
TIPThe coolant should be between the minimum
and maximum level marks. 3. If the coolant is at or below the minimumlevel mark, remove the coolant reservoir
cap, add coolant to the maximum level
mark, install the reservoir cap.

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.EBU36120StorageLong 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 Fuel Med Rx or
another high-quality fuel stabilizer prod-
uct. Follow the instructions on the prod-
uct label. Operate the vehicle for at least
5 minutes to distribute treated fuel
through the fuel system.
2. Remove the spark plug and pour one ta- blespoon of fresh engine oil into the cyl-
inder and then re-install the spark plug.
Remove the spark plug wire and ground
it. Operate the electric starter to turn the
engine over several times and coat the
cylinder walls with oil.
3. Lubricate all control cables.
Specified amount: 1 oz of stabilizer to each gallon of fuel (or
7.5 ml of stabilizer to each liter of fuel)
