Engine Type 400 Series:
Likely single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, SOHC, 4-stroke (specifics vary by sub-model, but generally consistent for the 400 platform)
Engine Type 500 Series:
Likely single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, SOHC, 4-stroke (specifics vary by sub-model, but generally consistent for the 500 platform)
Engine Type 650 H1:
Likely single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, SOHC, 4-stroke, possibly with a different bore/stroke than the 500 H1.
Engine Type 650 V-Twin:
Likely V-Twin cylinder configuration, liquid-cooled, SOHC, 4-stroke (this is a distinct engine from the 650 H1).
Horsepower Range Estimate:
Estimated 30-40 HP for 400/500cc models, potentially higher for the 650cc variants (exact figures require model-specific data).
Fuel Delivery 400 500 Series:
Likely carburetor-based (e.g., Keihin CV carburetors) or potentially early EFI on some variants, requiring specific jetting and adjustment procedures.
Fuel Delivery 650 Series:
Likely carburetor-based, possibly with larger bore carburetors than the 400/500cc models.
Transmission Type:
Automatic (CVT - Continuously Variable Transmission) with High/Low range and Reverse.
Optional Transmission:
N/A (CVT is standard for these models)
Cv Maintenance:
Includes procedures for belt inspection, replacement, clutch maintenance, and gearcase lubrication.
Safety Standards:
Manufactured to meet relevant ATV safety standards for the period. Manual may reference specific safety checks and precautions.
Braking System:
Hydraulic disc brakes front and rear. Manual covers inspection, fluid replacement, and pad service.

Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 100 hours or annually, whichever comes first. Specific recommendation in manual.
Air Filter Cleaning:
Recommended every 25-50 hours of operation, or more frequently in dusty conditions.
Spark Plug Replacement:
Generally recommended every 100 hours or annually.
Engine Oil Type:
Typically SAE 10W-40 or 10W-50 motorcycle/ATV specific oil meeting API SG or higher specifications. Manual will provide exact viscosity and API rating.
Gearcase Oil Type:
Usually a specific gear oil or heavy-duty SAE 80W-90 gear lubricant. Manual will specify.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water. Manual will specify type and capacity.
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 hydraulic brake fluid. Manual will specify.
Common Wear Items:
CV boots, brake pads, wheel bearings, and drive belts are common wear items that require regular inspection and replacement.
Electrical Connections:
Corrosion or loose connections in the electrical system can sometimes cause intermittent issues, especially after heavy use or exposure to elements.
Cooling System Efficiency:
Ensuring the radiator fins are clean and the cooling system is free of blockages is crucial for preventing overheating, particularly during strenuous use.
