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 specified
in the periodic maintenance and lubrication chart.
To check the final gear oil level
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
NOTE:
The final gear oil level must be checked on a cold
engine.
2. Remove the final gear oil filler cap, wipe the
dipstick off with a clean rag, insert it back into
the oil filler hole (without screwing it in), and
then remove it again to check the oil level.
NOTE:
The final gear oil should be between the minimum
and maximum level marks.
3. If the oil is at or below the minimum level mark,
add sufficient oil of the recommended type to
raise it to the correct level.
4. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler hole, and
then tighten the oil filler cap.
To change the final gear oil
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Place an oil pan under the final gear case to
collect the used oil.
3. Remove the final gear oil filler cap and the fi-
nal gear oil drain bolt to drain the oil from the
final gear case.
