Engine/Transmission
This section has been organized into sub-sections which
show a progression of steps for the complete servicing of
the engine and transmission.
To service bottom-side components, the engine must be
removed from the frame. To service top-side or left-side
components, the engine does not have to be removed
from the frame.
NOTE: The manufacturer recommends the use of
new gaskets, lock nuts, and seals and lubricating all
internal components when servicing the engine.
NOTE: A new and an overhauled engine require a
“break-in” period. The first 10 hours (or 200 miles
[320 km]) are most critical to the life of this ATV.
Proper operation during this break-in period will
help ensure maximum life and performance from the
ATV. Instruct the customer to follow the proper
break-in procedure as described in the Operator’s
Manual.
SPECIAL TOOLS
A number of special tools must be available to the techni-
cian when performing service procedures in this section.
Refer to the current Special Tools Catalog for the appro-
priate tool description.
NOTE: When indicated for use, each special tool
will be identified by its specific name, as shown in the
chart below, and capitalized.
NOTE: Special tools are available from the Service
Department.
