NOTE:

If a torque wrench is not available when installing
a 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 specified torque as
soon as possible.

4. Install the spark plug cap.
5. Install the panel.

EBU23321

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 spec-
ified in the periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.

To check the engine oil level

1. Remove panel F. (See page 8-8.)
2. Place the ATV on a level surface.
3. Start the engine, warm it up for several min-

utes, and then turn it off.

4. Wait a few minutes until the oil settles before

checking.

5. Remove the engine oil filler cap, and then

wipe the dipstick off with a clean rag.

6. Insert the dipstick into the filler hole (without

screwing it in), and then remove it again to
check the oil level.
