Default final oil gear

Hey, ok I did a fine job of changing my oil & filter on my 4 wheel but um, not to sure about the final oil gear.. the question I have if anyone knows, do I have to drain the final oil first before adding new, or do I just add to it? I have a yamaha kodiak 400, 2x4..

There should be a drain plug under the rear diff skid plate. Take the skid plate off and take out the drain plug.

Go here. http://www.yamaha-motor.com/service/service.asp click on View Owners Manual, Enter Year, ATV and then pick yours. Then click step 4 to open manual. Its a PDF file. On the left hand side click on Periodic Maintenance and Adjustment. Scroll through there and you should find how ot change the Final Gear oil. I have a 2001 Kodiak 400 4X4 and mine is on page 127. Hope this helps.

I have been on private land that is under developement. Haven't been out for two months because of work but I'm looking for other places to ride and people to ride with. I'm only a stones throw from Centreville and the land is 15 minutes from here. PM me and maybe we can hook up.
