(2-Cycle Models)
Have your dealer check the ATV cylinder head and cylinder base

fasteners for proper torque at the first service or after 25 hours.

Oil and Filter Change

The recommended oil change interval is 100 hours, 1000 miles, or

every six months, whichever comes first. Suggested break in oil

change is at 20 hours, 200 miles, or one month, whichever comes

first. Severe use operation requires more frequent service. Se-

vere use includes continuous duty in dusty or wet conditions, and

cold weather riding. NOTE: Severe use cold weather riding is all

riding below 10° F, and riding between 10° F and 30°F when most

trips are slow speed and less than 5 miles. Be sure to change the

oil filter whenever changing oil

Oil may be hot. Do not allow hot oil to come into contact

with skin as severe burns may result.
