Yamaha YFM7FGPA, YFM7FGPHA Grizzly 700 2011 Owner's Manual

The recommended maintenance schedule includes checking the engine oil level every ride, changing the oil and oil filter every 160 hours or 1,600 miles, checking the air filter monthly, and inspecting the brakes every 320 hours or 3,200 miles. Refer to the owner's manual for a complete maintenance checklist.
If the Grizzly 700 won't start, check the battery for charge and connections, ensure the fuel is fresh and properly reaching the engine, inspect the spark plug for wear or fouling, and check for any blown fuses. If problems persist, consult a professional mechanic.
Use a high-quality 10W-40 4-stroke engine oil that meets or exceeds the JASO MA standard. It's essential to use the correct oil type to ensure optimal engine performance and longevity.
To adjust the valve clearance, first ensure the engine is cold. Remove necessary components to access the valve cover, rotate the engine to TDC on the compression stroke, and use feeler gauges to measure and adjust the clearance to the specifications found in the service manual.
If the ATV overheats, immediately stop the engine and allow it to cool. Check coolant levels and look for leaks. Inspect the radiator for obstructions and ensure the cooling fan is operational. Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.
To change the drive belt, remove the cover over the drive belt area, loosen the secondary sheave, remove the old belt, and install the new belt ensuring it is properly seated. Reassemble all components and check for proper operation. Refer to the service manual for detailed instructions.
The recommended tire pressure for the Grizzly 700 is 4 psi for the front tires and 4 psi for the rear tires. Always use a reliable gauge to check and adjust tire pressure before each ride to ensure safety and performance.
To improve fuel efficiency, ensure regular maintenance is performed, including keeping the air filter clean, using the recommended oil, maintaining proper tire pressure, and avoiding excessive idling. Additionally, tune the engine periodically for optimal performance.
To clean the air filter, remove it from the air box, wash it gently in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to dry completely. Apply air filter oil evenly, ensuring it's not over-saturated, and reinstall it securely. Regular servicing is crucial for engine health.
Common causes of rough idle include dirty or clogged air filters, fouled spark plugs, incorrect idle speed setting, or fuel system issues such as clogged injectors. Regular maintenance and inspections can help prevent and resolve these issues.
