Transfer case oil
The transfer case must be checked for
oil leakage before each ride. If any
leakage is found, have a Yamaha deal-
er check and repair the vehicle. In addi-
tion, the transfer case oil level should
be checked and the oil must be
changed at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
To check the transfer case oil level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
TIP
Make sure that the vehicle is positioned
straight up when checking the oil level.
A slight tilt to the side can result in a
false reading.
2. Remove the oil check bolt and its
gasket, and then check the oil level
in the transfer case.
TIP
The oil should be at the brim of the
check hole.
3. If the oil is below the brim of the
check hole, remove the oil filler
cap, add sufficient oil of the recom-
mended type to raise it to the cor-
rect level, and then install the oil
filler cap.
4. Check the gasket for damage, and
replace it if necessary.
5. Install the oil check bolt and its
gasket, and then tighten the bolt to
the specified torque.
