NOTICEECB03020Do not use oils with a diesel specifica-
tion of “CD” or oils of a higher quality
than specified. In addition, do not use
oils labeled “ENERGY CONSERVING II”
or higher.
 Make sure that no foreign material en-
ters the oil tank. EBU35322TransmissionMake sure there is no oil leaking from the
transmission case.EBU31761CoolantCheck the coolant level in the reservoir and
replenish if necessary. (See page 9-36.)
EBU36020Final gearMake sure there is no oil leaking from the final
gear case.EBU36030Differential gearMake sure there is no oil leaking from the dif-
ferential gear case.EBU31791Accelerator pedalBefore starting the engine, confirm that the
accelerator pedal operates correctly. It
should depress smoothly and spring back to
the idle position when released. Also check
the accelerator pedal for excessive free play.
If the accelerator pedal is not in correct work-
ing order, have the vehicle inspected before
starting off.

11. Add 2.00 L (2.11 US qt, 1.76 Imp.qt) ofthe recommended engine oil to the oil
tank.
12. Check the O-ring for damage, and re- place it if necessary. 13. Install and tighten the engine oil tank filler
cap and the cylinder head cap.
14. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it off.
15. Remove the engine oil tank filler cap, and then add sufficient oil of the recommend-
ed type to raise it to the maximum level
mark on the dipstick.Tightening torques:Engine oil drain bolt:10 N·m (1.0 kgf·m, 7.4 lb·ft)

NOTICEECB03590When checking or changing the final gear
oil, make sure that no foreign material en-
ters the final gear case. If necessary, clean
the final gear oil filler bolt and surrounding
area. TIPIf the recommended gear oil is not available,
SAE 80W-90 API GL-4 or GL-5 hypoid gear
oil may be used instead. Checking the final gear oil level1. Park the vehicle on a level surface. 2. Remove the final gear oil filler bolt and its
gasket, and then check the oil level in the
final gear case. The oil level should be at
the brim of the filler hole.
3. If the oil is below the brim of the filler hole, add sufficient oil of the recommended
type to raise it to the correct level.
4. Check the gasket for damage, and re- place it if necessary.
Recommended oil:SAE 80 API GL-4 Hypoid gear oil

3. If the level is low, add sufficient oil of therecommended type to raise it to the
specified level.
4. Check the gasket for damage, and re- place it if necessary.
5. Install the differential gear oil filler bolt
and its gasket, and then tighten the bolt
to the specified torque. Changing the differential gear oil
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Place an oil pan under the differential
gear case to collect the used oil.

EBU38320Air filter maintenanceThis model is equipped with two air filter ele-
ments, a primary foam-type air filter and a
secondary paper-type air filter.
The primary air filter is easily accessed and
should be cleaned and oiled every 300–600
km (200–400 mi).
The secondary air filter is more difficult to ac-
cess, cannot be cleaned, and should be re-
placed by a Yamaha dealer every 2000–5000
km (1200–3000 mi).
TIPService the air filters more frequently when
operating in wet or dusty environments. Whenever air filter maintenance is performed:
check the air inlet for obstructions and the
air filter case for dirt and foreign matter.
 check the air filter case check hoses for dirt
or water and clean as necessary.
 check the air filter cas e joints and the rub-
ber joints to and from the throttle body for
proper fit and sealing.
 tighten all fittings securely to avoid the pos-
sibility of unfiltered air entering the engine.NOTICEECB02270Never operate the engine with the air filter
element removed. Doing so would allow
unfiltered air to enter, causing rapid en-
gine wear and possible engine damage.

6. Wash the foam material in warm soapywater to remove remaining solvent, then
rinse thoroughly with plain warm water.
7. Squeeze out the excess water. NOTICE:
Do not twist the foam material when
squeezing it.
[ECB02970]
8. Allow the foam air filter to dry thoroughly.Inspect for wear and tear and replace if
damaged or heavily worn. 9. Thoroughly apply Yamalube foam air filter
oil (or other quality liquid foam air filter—
do not use a spray-type product) to the
foam material. The foam air filter element
should be wet but not dripping.
10. Pull the foam air filter element over its frame.
11. Install the air filter.
12. Install the air filter case cover and lock it
into place by turning the air filter case
cover lock clockwise.

WARNING
EWB04160Improper maintenance can result in loss of
braking ability or YCC-S clutch operation.
Observe these precautions:
Insufficient brake or YCC-S clutch fluid
may allow air to enter the brake or
YCC-S clutch system, reducing braking
or YCC-S clutch performance.
 Clean the filler caps before removing.
Use only DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed
container.
 Use only the specified brake fluid; other-
wise, the rubber seals may deteriorate,
causing leakage.
 Refill with the same type of brake fluid.
Adding a brake fluid other than DOT 4
may result in a harmful chemical reac-
tion. 
Be careful that water or dust does not
enter the brake or YCC-S clutch fluid
reservoir when refilling. Water will signif-
icantly lower the boiling point of the fluid
and may result in vapor lock.
NOTICEECB01161Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
or plastic parts. Always clean up spilled
fluid immediately. As the brake pads wear, it is normal for the
brake fluid level to gradually go down. A low
brake fluid level may indicate worn brake
pads or brake system leakage; therefore, be
sure to check the brake pads for wear and the
brake system for leakage. A low YCC-S
clutch fluid level may indicate YCC-S clutch
system leakage; therefore, be sure to check
the YCC-S clutch system for leakage. If the
brake or YCC-S clutch fluid level goes down

7. Automotive-type wax may be applied toall 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.EBU32741StorageLong 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 plugs and pour one ta- blespoon of fresh engine oil into each cyl-
inder and then re-install the spark plugs.
Remove the spark plug wires and ground
them. Operate the electric starter to turn
the engine over several times and coat
the cylinder walls with oil.
3. Lubricate all control cables.
4. Put the frame on stands or blocks to raise all wheels off the ground.
5. Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust pipe outlet to prevent moisture from entering.
Specified amount:1 oz of stabilizer to each gallon of fuel (or
7.5 ml of stabilizer to each liter of fuel)
