Periodic Maintenance

Follow the maintenance schedule to ensure reliability and safety.

  1. Pre-ride Inspection: Check tires, brakes, lights, controls, and fluid levels.
  2. Engine Oil: Change oil and filter every 100 hours or 6 months. Use recommended 10W-30 or 10W-40.
  3. Air Filter: Clean foam element every 20-50 hours; replace if damaged.
  4. Spark Plug: Inspect and clean every 100 hours; gap: 0.028-0.031 in (0.7-0.8 mm).
  5. Drive Belt: Inspect for wear/cracks every 200 hours.
  6. Brake Fluid: Check level and condition; replace every 2 years.
  7. Differential Oil: Front and rear differential oil change every 200 hours.

WARNING! Always perform maintenance in a well-ventilated area with the engine off and cool. Use proper tools and safety equipment.

Engine Service

Procedures for top-end and bottom-end engine service.

  1. Cylinder Head Removal: Drain coolant, remove valve cover, cam chain tensioner, and cylinder head bolts in sequence.
  2. Valve Adjustment: Set piston at TDC compression; adjust intake: 0.004-0.006 in (0.10-0.15 mm), exhaust: 0.007-0.009 in (0.18-0.23 mm).
  3. Piston & Cylinder: Measure cylinder bore and piston clearance; service limit: 0.0039 in (0.10 mm).
  4. Crankshaft & Bearings: Check runout and bearing clearance; replace if out of specification.
  5. Camshaft & Timing Chain: Inspect cam lobes and chain tensioner; replace if worn.

CAUTION! Label all parts and fasteners during disassembly. Use a torque wrench for reassembly.

Fuel System & Carburetor

Maintenance and adjustment of the Mikuni BSR36 carburetor.

Electrical System

Testing and service of battery, charging system, ignition, and lighting.

Battery: 12V, 12Ah. Maintain specific gravity at 1.260-1.280. Keep terminals clean and tight.

Charging System: Stator coil resistance: 0.36-0.48 Ω at 68°F (20°C). Regulator/Rectifier output: 13.5-15.5 V at 5000 RPM.

Ignition System: Primary coil resistance: 0.56-0.84 Ω. Secondary coil resistance: 8.0-12.0 kΩ. Spark plug cap: 5 kΩ.

Starter Motor: Brush length service limit: 0.24 in (6.0 mm). Commutator diameter limit: 1.18 in (30.0 mm).

Chassis & Suspension

Inspection and service of frame, suspension components, and steering.

  1. Wheel Alignment (Toe-in): Adjust tie rods to achieve 0-10 mm toe-in.
  2. Swingarm Pivot Bearings: Lubricate every 200 hours; check for play.
  3. Front A-Arms & Bushings: Inspect for damage and wear; replace if necessary.
  4. Shock Absorbers: Check for leaks and damping performance; adjust preload as needed.
  5. Steering Stem Bearings: Adjust nut to eliminate free play; lubricate periodically.

Tip: Use a hoist or jack stands to safely lift the ATV for chassis work.

Transmission & Drive System

Service for Ultramatic transmission, drive belt, and On-Command system.

  1. Drive Belt Inspection: Remove cover; check for cracks, fraying, and width (service limit: 1.18 in / 30 mm).
  2. Sheave Service: Clean movable and fixed sheaves; inspect rollers and sliding surfaces.
  3. On-Command System: Check vacuum lines and actuator for proper 2WD/4WD engagement.
  4. Front Differential: Drain and refill with 80W-90 gear oil (0.42 qt / 0.4 L).
  5. Rear Gearcase: Drain and refill with 80W-90 gear oil (0.53 qt / 0.5 L).

WARNING! The drive belt is under tension; keep hands clear when the engine is running.

Brake System

Service procedures for hydraulic disc brakes.

Brake Pad Inspection: Replace pads if thickness is less than 0.12 in (3.0 mm).

Brake Disc: Check for runout (limit: 0.012 in / 0.3 mm) and thickness (limit: 0.20 in / 5.0 mm).

Bleeding Brakes: Use DOT 4 brake fluid. Fill reservoir, attach tube to bleeder valve, pump lever/pedal, and tighten valve.

Parking Brake Adjustment: Adjust cable at lever until rear wheels lock with 3-5 clicks.

Troubleshooting

SymptomPossible CauseCorrective Action
