Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in the tank.
Recommended fuel:
UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY
Fuel tank capacity:
Total:
6.8 L (1.5 Imp gal, 1.8 US gal)
Reserve:
0.9 L (0.2 Imp gal, 0.2 US gal) c C
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use of leaded gasoline will cause severe damage to internal engine parts, such as the valves and piston rings, as well as to the exhaust system.
5-3
Your Yamaha engine has been designed to use regular unleaded gasoline with a pump octane number
([R+M]/2) of 86 or higher, or research octane number of 91 or higher. If knocking or pinging occurs, use a different brand of gasoline or premium unleaded fuel.
5TH-9-15-1 6/15/05 2:55 PM Page 4-16
Unleaded fuel will give you longer spark plug life and reduced maintenance cost.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol; gasohol containing ethanol and that containing methanol.
Gasohol containing ethanol can be used if ethanol content does not exceed 10%. Gasohol containing methanol is not recommended by
Yamaha because it may cause fuel system damage or vehicle performance problems.
qWARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Improper care when refueling.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Fuel can spill, which can cause a fire and severe injury.
Fuel expands when it heats up. If the fuel tank is overfilled, fuel could spill out due to heat from the engine or the sun.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Be careful not to spill fuel, especially on the engine or exhaust pipe. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately. Be sure the fuel tank cap is closed securely.
Do not refuel right after the engine has been running and is still very hot.

EBU02092
Engine break-in
There is never a more important period in the life of your machine than the period between zero and 20 hours.
For this reason, we ask that you carefully read the following material. Because the engine is brand new, you must not put an excessive load on it for the first several hours of running. During the first 20 hours, the various parts in the engine wear and polish themselves to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full throttle operation or any condition which might result in excessive engine heating must be avoided. However, momentary (2-3 seconds maximum) full throttle operation under load does not harm the engine.
Each full throttle acceleration sequence should be followed with a substantial rest period for the engine by cruising at lower r/min so the engine can rid itself of the temporary build up of heat.
If any abnormality is noticed during this period, consult a Yamaha dealer.
0-10 hours:
Avoid continuous operation above half throttle.
Allow a cooling off period of five to ten minutes after every hour of operation. Vary the speed of the machine from time to time. Do not operate it at one set throttle position.
10-20 hours:
Avoid prolonged operation above 3/4 throttle.
Rev the machine freely through the gears but do not use full throttle at any time.
After break-in:
Avoid prolonged full throttle operation. Vary speeds occasionally.

Accessories and loading
EBU00222
Accessories
Accessories can affect the handling and control of your ATV. Keep the following in mind when considering an accessory or operating an ATV which has accessories.
8 Choose only accessories designed for your
ATV. Your Yamaha dealer has a variety of genuine Yamaha accessories. Other accessories may also be available on the market.
However, it is not possible for Yamaha to test all non-Yamaha accessories, nor have any control over the quality or suitability of them.
Choose a genuine Yamaha accessory, or one that is equivalent in design and quality.
8 Accessories should be rigidly and securely mounted. An accessory which can shift position or come off while you are riding could affect your ability to control the ATV.
8 Do not mount an accessory where it could interfere with your ability to control the ATV.
Examples include (but are not limited to) a heavy or bulky object attached to the handlebars which could make steering difficult, an accessory that limits your ability to move around on the seat, or one that limits your view.
8 Use extra caution when riding an ATV with accessories. The ATV may handle differently than it does without accessories.

EBU00584
Loading
As originally equipped, this ATV is not designed to carry cargo or tow a trailer. If you choose to add accessories so that you can carry cargo or tow a trailer, you must use common sense and good judgment. Keep the following points in mind:
8 Never exceed the weight limits shown. An overloaded ATV can be unstable.
MAXIMUM LOADING LIMIT
Vehicle loading limit (total weight of cargo, rider and accessories):
95 kg (209 lb)
8 Load cargo on the carriers as close to the center of the vehicle as possible. Put cargo at the rear of the front carrier and at the front of the rear carrier. Center the load from side to side.
8 Tie down cargo securely to the carriers. Make sure cargo in the trailer cannot move around.
A shifting load can cause an accident.
8 Make sure the load does not interfere with controls or your ability to see where you are going.
8 Ride more slowly than you would without a load. The more weight you carry, the slower you should go. Although conditions vary, it is good practice not to exceed 2nd gear whenever you are carrying heavier loads or when towing a trailer.
8 Allow more braking distance. A heavier vehicle takes longer to stop.
8 Avoid making sharp turns unless at very slow speeds.
8 Avoid hills and rough terrain. Choose terrain carefully. Added weight affects the stability and handling of the ATV.
