To check the oil level on a 1997 Yamaha Kodiak 400, first ensure the ATV is on level ground and the engine is off. Remove the dipstick from the oil filler cap, wipe it clean, reinsert it without screwing it in, and then remove it again to check the oil level. The oil should be between the two marks on the dipstick. If necessary, add the appropriate oil until the correct level is reached.

Finally, reassemble the driveshaft and differential, refill the fluid, and check for proper operation.
