Final gear oil
The final gear case must be checked for oil leak-
age before each ride. If any leakage is found, have
a Yamaha dealer check and repair the ATV. In ad-
dition, the final gear oil level must be checked and
the oil changed as follows at the intervals speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance chart.
To check the final gear oil level
1. Park the ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove the final gear oil filler bolt and its gas-
ket, 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 oil filler bolt gasket for damage,
and replace it if necessary.
5. Install the oil filler bolt and its gasket, and then
tighten the bolt to the specified torque.
