TIP
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.

Engine oil and oil filter element
The engine oil level should be checked before
each ride. In addition, the oil must be changed and
the oil filter element replaced at the intervals spec-
ified in the periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Start the engine, warm it up until the engine oil
has reached a normal temperature of 60 °C
(140 °F), let it continue to idle for ten seconds
or more, and then turn the engine off.
TIP
To achieve the proper engine oil temperature for
an accurate oil level reading, the engine must have
first completely cooled down, and then warmed up
again for several minutes to normal operating tem-
perature.
3. Remove the engine oil tank filler cap, and then
wipe the engine oil dipstick off with a clean
rag.
4. Insert the dipstick in the filler hole (without
screwing it in), and then remove it again to
check the oil level.
