This manual was produced by the Yamaha Motor Company primarily for use by Yamaha dealers
and their qualified mechanics. It is not possible to include all the knowledge of a mechanic in one
manual, so it is assumed that anyone who uses this book to perform maintenance and repairs on
Yamaha machine has a basic understanding of the mechanical ideas and the procedures of
machine repair. Repairs attempted by anyone without this knowledge are likely to render the
machine unsafe and unfit for use.
Yamaha Motor Company, Ltd. is continually striving to improve all its models. Modifications and
significant changes in specifications or procedures will be forwarded to all authorized Yamaha
dealers and will appear in future editions of this manual where applicable.
OTE:
Designs and specifications are subject to change without notice.

PARK POSITION
When the drive select lever is shifted into the
park position, a stopper lever is engaged into
the stopper gear preventing the drive select
lever and transmission from moving.
When the drive select lever is at the “L”, “H”,“N”, or “R” positions, the stopper lever end
is moved away from the stopper gear 2 by the
return spring 3.
When the drive select lever is in the “P”
position, the lever cam 4 at the side of the
shift cam 5 lifts the stopper lever end 6 and
the stopper lever end locks the drive axle 7.
INFO

When the stopper lever end 1 is not
synchronized, a torsion spring 8 retains the

GEN
FEATURES
2WD
Power is transmitted as follows: middle gear → front drive shaft → drive pinion gear 7 → ring gear
5 → differential pinion gear 4. In the 2WD mode, the left differential side gear 3 and the drive
clutch 2 are not engaged, therefore, the left side gear runs idle and does not transmit power to the
left front constant velocity joint.
INFO
1 - 4
GEN
FEATURES
4WD
When the 4WD mode is selected, the gear motor is operated, and the drive clutch 2 moves to the
right and engages with the left differential side gear 3. Accordingly, power is transmitted as follows:
ring gear 5 → differential pinion gear 4 → left differential side gear 3 → drive clutch 2 → adapter1→ left front constant velocity joint.
Meanwhile, power from the differential pinion gear 4 is transmitted to the right front constant
velocity joint via the right differential side gear 6.
The ring gear 5 and the drive clutch 2 are not engaged at this time. Therefore, the rotational
difference that occurs between the right and left wheels, while the handlebar is being turned, is
absorbed by the difference in the rotational speeds of the ring gear 5 and the left differential side
gear 3.
INFO
1 - 5
GEN
FEATURES
4WD (Diff-Lock)
When the 4WD (Diff-Lock) mode is selected, the gear motor moves the drive clutch 2 further to the
right, which causes the ring gear 5 and the drive clutch 2 to engage. As a result, power is
transmitted directly from the ring gear 5 to the drive clutch 2, then to the left front constant velocity
joint via the adapter 1.
Meanwhile, because the ring gear 5 and the drive clutch 2 are engaged, the ring gear 5, the drive
clutch 2, and the right differential side gear 6 become locked coaxially. Thus, power is transmitted
as follows: differential pinion gear 4 → right differential pinion gear 6 → right front constant
velocity joint.
When the ATV is in the 4WD (Diff-Lock) mode, the right and left wheels rotate constantly at the
same speed, which affects the maneuverability of the ATV (e.g., making it difficult to steer).
Therefore, the maximum traveling speed is limited to 35 km/h (22 mph).
INFO
1 - 6
GEN
FEATURES
In addition, the 4WD (Diff-Lock) mode can be engaged only when the ATV is stopped. Even if an
attempt is made to select this mode when the ATV is traveling, it will only result in a standby
condition (i.e., when the differential lock select switch and the differential gear are not matched).
(1) When the ATV is traveling
Even if the 4WD (Diff-Lock) mode is selected, the gear motor will stand by, instead of operating.
Therefore, the ATV can be driven in the normal 4WD mode. When this occurs, the differential gear
lock indicator light “” in the speedometer unit will flash to alert the driver that the control is on
standby. When the ATV is stopped, the control transfers to the condition described in (2).
(2) When the ATV is stopped
The gear motor operates to connect the drive clutch to the differential case, thus resulting in the
differential lock condition. When this occurs, the differential gear lock indicator light “” in the
speedometer unit changes to a constant illumination.
* Until the drive clutch and the differential case mesh together (i.e., the splines are unmeshed) the
engine misfires to control the engine speed. During this time, the differential gear lock indicator light
in the speedometer unit continues to flash.

PREPARATION FOR REMOVAL
PROCEDURES
1.Remove all dirt, mud, dust and foreign
material before removal and disassembly.
2.Use proper tools and cleaning equipment.
Refer to the “SPECIAL TOOLS” section.
3.When disassembling the machine, always
keep mated parts together. This includes
gears, cylinder, piston and other parts that
have been “mated” through normal wear.
Mated parts must always be reused or
replaced as an assembly.
4.During machine disassembly, clean all parts
and place them in trays in the order of
disassembly. This will speed up assembly
and allow for the correct installation of all
parts.
5.Keep all parts away from any source of fire.

REPLACEMENT PARTS
1.Use only genuine Yamaha parts for all
replacements. Use oil and grease
recommended by Yamaha for all lubrication
jobs. Other brands may be similar in function
and appearance, but inferior in quality.
EB101020
GASKETS, OIL SEALS AND O-RINGS
1.Replace all gaskets, seals and O-rings when
overhauling the engine. All gasket surfaces,
oil seal lips and O-rings must be cleaned.
2.Properly oil all mating parts and bearings
during reassembly. Apply grease to the oil
seal lips.

LOCK WASHERS/PLATES AND COTTER
PINS
1.Replace all lock washers/plates 1 and cotter
pins after removal. Bend lock tabs along the
bolt or nut flats after the bolt or nut has been
tightened to specification.

BEARINGS AND OIL SEALS
1.Install bearings and oil seals so that the
manufacturer’s marks or numbers are visible.
When installing oil seals, apply a light
coating of lightweight lithium base grease to
the seal lips. Oil bearings liberally when
installing, if appropriate.
