Lubricating the drive chain
The drive chain must be cleaned and lubricated at
the intervals specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart, otherwise it will quickly wear
out, especially when riding in dusty or wet areas.
Service the drive chain as follows.CAUTION:_ The drive chain must be lubricated after wash-
ing the ATV or riding in the rain. _1. Clean the drive chain with kerosene and a
small soft brush.CAUTION:_ To prevent damaging the O-rings, do not clean
the drive chain with steam cleaners, high-pres-
sure washers or inappropriate solvents. _2. Wipe the drive chain dry.
3. Thoroughly lubricate the drive chain with a
special O-ring chain lubricant.CAUTION:_ Do not use engine oil or any other lubricants

Troubleshooting
Although Yamaha machines receive a rigid in-
spection before shipment from the factory, trouble
may occur during operation.
Any problem in the fuel, compression, or ignition
systems can cause poor starting and loss of pow-
er. The troubleshooting chart describes a quick,
easy procedure for making checks. If your ma-
chine requires any repair, take it to a Yamaha
dealer.
The skilled technicians at a Yamaha dealership
have the tools, experience, and know-how to prop-
erly service your machine. Use only genuine
Yamaha parts on your machine. Imitation parts
may look like Yamaha parts, but they are often in-
ferior. Consequently, they have a shorter service
life and can lead to expensive repair bills.
WARNING
Do not smoke when checking the fuel system.
Fuel can ignite or explode, causing severe in-
jury or property damage. Make sure there are
no open flames or sparks in the area, including
pilot lights from water heaters or furnaces.

CAUTION:
Be sure to use motor oils that do not contain anti-
friction modifiers. Passenger car motor oils (often
labeled “ENERGY CONSERVING II”) contain anti-
friction additives which will cause clutch and/or
starter clutch slippage, resulting in reduced com-
ponent life and poor engine performance.

ATTENTION:Veiller à ce que l’huile de moteur utilisée ne contien-
ne pas d’additifs antifriction. Les huiles pour auto-
mobiles (portant souvent la désignation
“ENERGY CONSERVING II”) contiennent des ad-
ditifs antifriction. Ceux-ci feront patiner l’embraya-
ge et/ou l’embrayage de démarreur, ce qui provo-
quera une réduction de la durabilité des organes et
du rendement.
