NOTICE This manual was written by the Yamaha Motor Company primarily for use by Yamaha dealers and their qualified mechanics. It is not possible to put an entire mechanic’s education into one manual, so it is assumed that persons using this book to perform maintenance and repairs on Yamaha snowmobiles have a basic understanding of the mechanical con- cepts and procedures inherent in snowmobile repair. Without such knowledge, attempted repairs or service to this model may render it unfit and/or unsafe to use. Yamaha Motor Company, Ltd. is continually striving to improve all models manufac- tured by Yamaha. Modifications and significant changes in specifications or procedures will be for- warded to all authorized Yamaha dealers and will, where applicable, appear in future editions of this manual. HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL Particularly important information is distinguished in this manual by the following notations: The Safety Alert Symbol means ATTENTION! BE ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! Failure to follow WARNING instructions could result in severe injury or death to the snowmobile opera- tor, a bystander, or a person inspecting or repairing the snowmobile. A CAUTION indicates special precautions that must be taken to avoid damage to the snowmobile. A NOTE provides key information that can make procedures easier or clearer. MANUAL FORMAT All of the procedures in this manual are organized in a sequential, step-by-step format. The information has been compiled to provide the mechanic with an easy to read, handy reference that contains comprehensive explanations of all inspection, repair, assembly, and disassembly operations. In this revised format, the condition of a faulty com- ponent will precede an arrow symbol and the course of action required to correct the problem will follow the symbol, e.g., • Bearings Pitting/damage → Replace. EXPLODED DIAGRAM Each chapter provides exploded diagrams before each disassembly section to facilitate correct disassembly and assembly procedures.

1-2 GEN INFO IMPORTANT INFORMATION IMPORTANT INFORMATION PREPARATION FOR REMOVAL AND DISASSEMBLY 1.Remove all dirt, mud, dust, and foreign material before removal and disassembly. While cleaning, take care to protect the electrical parts, such as relays, switches, motor, resistors, controllers, etc., from high pressure water splashes. 2. Use proper tools and cleaning equipment. Refer to “SPECIAL TOOLS”. 3.When disassembling the machine, keep mated parts together. This includes gears, cylinders, pistons, and other parts that have been “mated” through normal wear. Mated parts must be reused or replaced as an assembly. 4. During disassembly of the machine, clean all parts and place them in trays in the order of disassembly. This will speed up assembly time and help ensure that all parts are reinstalled correctly. 5.Keep all parts away from any source of fire. 6.Be sure to keep to the tightening torque specifications. When tightening bolts, nuts, and screws, start with those that have larger diameters, and proceed from the inside to the outside in a crisscross pattern. ALL REPLACEMENT PARTS We recommend using genuine Yamaha parts for all replacements. Use oil and grease recommended by Yamaha for assembly and adjustments. 1
