Engine oil and oil filter cartridge
The 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 and lubrica-
tion chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Start the engine, warm it up until the engine
oil has reached a normal temperature of
60°C, let it continue to idle for twenty to thirty
seconds. During this period, rev the engine
two or three times to approximately
3,000 r/min, and then turn the engine off.NOTE:_ To achieve the proper engine oil temperature for
an accurate oil level reading, the engine must
have first completely cooled down, and then
warmed up again for several minutes to normal
operating temperature. _

3. Wait a few minutes until the oil settles, re-
move the engine oil tank filler cap, wipe the
dipstick clean with a clean rag, insert it back
into the filler hole (without screwing it in), and
then remove it again to check the oil level.NOTE:_ The engine oil should be between the minimum
and maximum level marks. _4. If the engine oil is below the minimum level
mark, add sufficient oil of the recommended
type to raise it to the correct level.NOTE:_ When adding oil, be careful not to overfill the en-
gine oil tank; the oil level rises faster starting from
the half-level-portion on the dipstick. _5. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler hole, and
then tighten the oil filler cap.

11. Pour only 1.75 L of the specified amount of
recommended engine oil through the engine
oil tank filler hole, insert the dipstick, and then
tighten the oil tank filler cap.
12. Start the engine, rev it several times, and
then turn it off.
13. Remove the engine oil tank filler cap, and
then gradually fill the oil tank with the remain-
ing oil quantity while regularly checking the oil
level on the dipstick. Tightening torques:
Crankcase engine oil drain bolt:
30 Nm (3.0 m·kgf)

14. Start the engine, and then let it idle for seve-
ral minutes while checking it for oil leakage. If
oil is leaking, immediately turn the engine off
and check for the cause.
15. Turn the engine off, and then check the oil
level and correct it if necessary.

Cooling system
1. Check the coolant level in the coolant reser-
voir when the engine is cold as the coolant
level will vary with engine temperature. The
coolant level should be between the maxi-
mum and minimum marks.
2. If the level is low, remove the coolant reser-
voir cap, and then add coolant or distilled wa-
ter to raise it to the specified level.CAUTION:_ Hard water or salt water is harmful to the en-
gine. You may use soft water if you can’t get
distilled water. _NOTE:_

If water is added, have a Yamaha dealer
check the antifreeze content of the coolant as
soon as possible.


The radiator fan operation is completely auto-
matic. It is switched on or off according to the
coolant temperature in the radiator.
_If your ATV overheats, see page 8-124 for details.Coolant reservoir capacity:
0.29 L

CAUTION:_ Hard water or salt water is harmful to the en-
gine. You may use soft water if you cannot get
distilled water. _12. Install the radiator cap and the coolant reser-
voir cap.
13. Start the engine and let it idle for several min-
utes. Stop the engine, and then check the
coolant level in the radiator. If it is low, add
more coolant until it reaches the top of the ra-
diator.
14. Check the coolant level in the reservoir. If it is
low, add coolant to the maximum level mark.
15. Start the engine and then check for coolant
leakage.NOTE:_ If any leakage is found, have a Yamaha dealer
check the cooling system. _16. Install the panel.

Air filter element cleaningNOTE:_ There is a check hose at the bottom of the air filter
case. If dust or water collects in this hose, empty
the hose and clean the air filter element and air fil-
ter case. _1. Remove the seat. (See page 4-33 for seat re-
moval and installation procedures.)
2. Remove the air filter case cover by unhook-
ing the holders.
3. Remove the air filter element.
4. Remove the air filter element from its frame.
5. Wash the air filter element gently but thor-
oughly in solvent.
WARNING
_ Always use parts cleaning solvent to clean the
air filter element. Never use low flash point sol-
vents or gasoline to clean the air filter element
because the engine could catch fire or ex-
plode. _

1. Flexible
1. Manguera
11. Install the air filter case cover and be sure to
connect the hose.
12. Install the seat.NOTE:_ The air filter element should be cleaned every 20–
40 hours. It should be cleaned and lubricated more
often if the machine is operated in extremely dusty
areas. Each time air filter element maintenance is
performed, check the air inlet to the air filter case
for obstructions. Check the air filter element rubber
joint to the carburetor and manifold fittings for an
airtight seal. Tighten all fittings securely to avoid
the possibility of unfiltered air entering the engine. _CAUTION:_ Never operate the engine with the air filter ele-
ment removed. This will allow unfiltered air to
enter, causing rapid engine wear and possible
engine damage. Additionally, operation with-
out the air filter element will affect carburetor
jetting with subsequent poor performance and
possible engine overheating. _
