Before installing the spark plug, the spark plug
gap should be measured with a wire thickness
gauge and, if necessary, adjusted to specification.
Clean the surface of the spark plug gasket and its
mating surface, and then wipe off any grime from
the spark plug threads.
TIPIf a torque wrench is not available when installing
the spark plug, a good estimate of the correct
torque is 1/4–1/2 turn past finger tight. However,
the spark plug should be tightened to the speci-
fied torque as soon as possible. EBU2949BEngine oil and oil filter elementThe engine oil level should be checked before
each ride. In addition, the oil must be changed and
the oil filter element replaced at the intervals spec-
ified in the periodic maintenance and lubrication
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 (140 °F), let it continue to idle for ten sec-
onds or more, and then turn the engine off.
Specified spark plug:

1. Spark plug gapSpark plug gap:0.7–0.8 mm (0.028–0.031 in)
Tightening torque:Spark plug:13 N·m (1.3 kgf·m, 9.4 lb·ft)

86. Remove the crankcase engine oil drain bolt
and its gasket.
TIPSkip steps 7–10 if the oil filter element is not being
replaced. 7. Remove the oil filter element cover by remov-ing the bolts.

8. Remove the oil filter element and the O-rings.
9. Install a new oil filter element and new O-
rings.
TIPMake sure that the O-rings are properly seated. 10. Install the oil filter element cover by installing the bolts, and then tighten them to the speci-
fied torque.

811. Install the crankcase engine oil drain bolt, the
engine oil tank drain bolt and their new gas-
ket, and then tighten the bolts to their speci-
fied torques.
12. Refill with the specified amount of the recom- mended engine oil through the engine oil tank
filler hole.
TIPBe sure to wipe off spilled oil on any parts after the
engine and exhaust system have cooled down.
NOTICEECB00301In 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 labeled “ENERGY CONSERV-
ING II” or higher.
Make sure that no foreign material enters the
crankcase. 13. Check the engine oil tank filler cap O-ring for
damage, and replace it if necessary.
14. Install and tighten the engine oil tank filler cap.
15. 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.
16. Turn the engine off, and then check the oil level and correct it if necessary.
17. Install the engine guard by installing the bolts, and then tighten them to the specified torque.
NOTICE: Be sure to apply LOCTITE
® to the
engine guard bolts before installing them.
[ECB00372]
Tightening torques: Crankcase engine oil drain bolt:20 N·m (2.0 kgf·m, 14 lb·ft)
Engine oil tank drain bolt: 20 N·m (2.0 kgf·m, 14 lb·ft)
Recommended oil: See page 10-1.
Oil quantity: Without oil filter element replacement:1.40 L (1.48 US qt, 1.23 Imp.qt)
With oil filter element replacement: 1.45 L (1.53 US qt, 1.28 Imp.qt)

88. Wash the sponge material gently but thor-
oughly in solvent. WARNING! Always use
parts cleaning solvent to clean the sponge
material. Never use low-flash-point sol-
vents or gasoline to clean the sponge ma-
terial because the engine could catch fire
or explode.
[EWB01942]
9. Squeeze the excess solvent out of the sponge material and let it dry. NOTICE: Do
not twist the sponge material when
squeezing it.
[ECB00442]
10. Check the sponge material and replace it if damaged.
11. Apply Yamaha foam air filter oil or other qual- ity foam air filter oil to the sponge material.TIPThe sponge material should be wet but not drip-
ping. 12. Pull the sponge material over the air filter ele-ment frame.
13. Apply all-purpose grease to the air filter ele- ment seat.
