Snowmobile Identification
The Yamaha Snowmobile has two important identifica-
tion numbers. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
is stamped into the tunnel near the right-side footrest or
on top of the tunnel. The decal also displays pertinent
production information. The Engine Serial Number
(ESN) is stamped into the crankcase of the engine.
These numbers are required to complete warranty claims prop-
erly. No warranty will be allowed by Yamaha if the engine
serial number or VIN is removed or mutilated in any way.
Recommended Gasoline
and Oil
RECOMMENDED GASOLINE
The recommended gasoline to use in these snowmobiles
is 87 octane unleaded. In many areas, oxygenates are
added to the gasoline. Oxygenated gasolines containing
up to 10% ethanol are acceptable gasolines.
When using ethanol blended gasoline, it is not necessary
to add a gasoline antifreeze since ethanol will prevent the
accumulation of moisture in the fuel system.
RECOMMENDED OIL
The recommended oil to use is Semi-Synthetic YAMA-
LUBE 0W-30 oil.
The engine oil should be changed every 4000 km (2500
miles) before prolonged storage and the oil filter should
be changed every 20,000 km (12,500 miles).
Engine Break-In
The engine (when new or rebuilt) requires a short break-in
period before the engine is subjected to heavy load conditions.
This engine does not require any pre-mixed fuel during
the break-in period.
There is never a more important period in the life of the
engine than the first 500 km (300 miles). Since the
engine is brand new, do not put an excessive load on it
for the first 500 km (300 miles). The various parts in the
engine wear and polish themselves to the correct operat-
ing clearances. During this period, prolonged full throttle
operation or any condition that might result in engine
overheating must be avoided.
Operating your snowmobile for the first time: Start the
engine and let it idle for 15 minutes.
0-160 km (0–100 miles): Avoid prolonged operation
above 6000 RPM.
160-500 km (100–300 miles): Avoid prolonged operation
above 8000 RPM.
500 km (300 miles) and beyond: The snowmobile can
now be operated normally.
NOTE: After 800 km (500 miles) of operation, the
engine oil must be changed and the oil filter replaced.
If any engine trouble should occur during the engine
break-in period, immediately have a Yamaha dealer
check the snowmobile.
Drive Belt Break-In
Drive belts require a break-in period of approximately 40
km (25 miles). Drive the snowmobile for 40 km (25
miles) at 3/4 throttle or less. By revving the engine up
and down (but not exceeding 100 km/h [60 mph]), the
exposed cord on the side of a new belt will be worn
down. This will allow the drive belt to gain its optimum
flexibility and will extend drive belt life.
NOTE: Before starting the snowmobile in extremely
cold temperatures, the drive belt should be removed
and warmed up to room temperature. Once the drive
belt is at room temperature, install the drive belt.
Genuine Parts
When replacement of parts is necessary, use only genuine
Yamaha parts. They are precision-made to ensure high
quality and correct fit.
Varying Altitude Operation
Operating a snowmobile at varying altitudes requires recal-
ibration of drive system components.
Following are basic altitude theories for clutching,
engine, suspension, and track.
CLUTCHING
The clutch may require tuning depending upon where the
snowmobile will be operated and the desired handling
characteristics. The clutch can be tuned by changing the
engagement and shifting speeds.
Clutch engagement speed is defined as the engine speed
at which the snowmobile first begins to move from a
complete stop.
CAUTION
Do not use white gas or gasoline containing methanol. Only
Yamaha approved gasoline additives should be used.
CAUTION
Any oil used in place of the recommended oil may
cause serious damage.
CAUTION
Any oil used in place of the recommended oil could
cause serious engine damage.
CAUTION
Never run the engine with the drive belt removed. Exces-
sive revving of the engine could result in serious engine
damage and primary sheave failure.

3
Shifting speed is defined as the engine speed reached
when the snowmobile has travelled 800 m (2,500 ft) after
being started at full-throttle from a dead stop.
Normally, when a snowmobile reaches shifting speed, the
snowmobile speed increases but the engine speed remains
nearly constant. Under unfavorable conditions (wet snow,
icy snow, hills, or rough terrain), however, engine speed
may decrease after the shifting speed has been reached.
CLUTCHA
High altitude tuning
Atmospheric pressure decreases and engine output
becomes low at high altitude locations. Because of this,
clutch engagement speed and shifting speed also
decrease and unable to maximize the engine output
power. To maximize the engine output, tuning for
increasing clutch engagement speed and shifting speed is
necessary. This setting is called high altitude tuning. The
following changes are usually performed in high altitude
tuning.
• To increase the clutch engagement and shifting speed,
changing to a larger spring constant or using lighter
weights and rivets. (decreasing primary sheave thrust)
• Increasing the reduction ratio of the driven gear/drive
gear. (increasing the driving performance) Refer to
“HIGH ALTITUDE TUNING”.
CLUTCHB
ENGINE
A normally aspirated engine will generate more horse-
power at sea level than it does at higher altitudes. The
reason is that the higher you go, less oxygen is available
for the engine to use during its combustion process. Less
oxygen means it needs less fuel to obtain the correct air/
fuel ratio to operate properly.
This is why the fuel ratio has to be recalibrated. High alti-
tude engines operate as though they have a lower com-
pression ratio. This, along with less oxygen and less fuel,
means that the engine generates less horsepower. All of
these characteristics will become more evident the higher
the altitude.
SUSPENSION
Trail riding versus powder snow riding versus combina-
tion riding will all require different suspension settings.
The normal setting for front ski suspension is as little spring
pre-load tension as possible for powder snow riding allow-
ing the skis to float across the snow with the least amount
of resistance. Trail riding will require more spring tension
to carry the varying load more effectively. Many different
settings and spring tensions to consider exist when adjust-
ing for riding style and snow conditions.
The rear suspension has a number of spring settings that
produce different riding characteristics (see Suspension -
Suspension Setup Basics).
The front arm spring and shock will also affect the ride and
handling when either on a trail or in powder snow. A strong
spring setting on this shock will cause the snowmobile to
tend to “dig” more when riding in the powder snow rather
than climbing up on top of the snow. But, it will work more
effectively when riding on a trail. A softer spring setting
will allow the front of the rear suspension to collapse much
quicker and change the angle of the track to the snow. A
more gradual angle will tend to raise the snowmobile up on
the snow rather than digging into it.
Many possible variables and adjustments to the rear sus-
pension exist depending on snow conditions, riding style,
and type of terrain. These adjustments can be made to indi-
vidualize the snowmobile to the riding style of the operator.
Finally, track tension should be looked at to make sure that it
is within recommended specifications to affect the efficiency
of the snowmobile. On models with the torque sensing link,
the track is actually tightening as the suspension moves
through its range of motion causing the track to sag in the
middle and rub on the top part of the rear suspension arm.
TRACK
Carefully matching the riding requirements to the type of
track will ensure the maximum use of all available engine
power. Lug height and track durometer are the two main
concerns when selecting a track for various riding styles.
Tracks exist with lug heights from 31.75 - 75 mm (1.25 - 3.0
in.) to accommodate various snow conditions. Generally, the
deeper the snow, the taller the lug. It must be noted that the
installation of any deep-lug track may reduce top end speed
and promote premature wear strip wear in marginal snow
conditions.
Durometer is a measurement of how hard a rubber is. The
lugs on most tracks range between 60 and 80 durometer.
On the durometer scale, the higher the number, the harder
the lugs. For riding in deep powder snow, a softer durom-
eter track works best. The softer rubber allows the track
to “give” a little and pack the snow creating lift rather
than digging its way straight down. When hill-climbing,
the harder lug of an 80 durometer track works the best
due to penetrating the hard snow creating more bite.

Some tracks come with a dual durometer rating, such as a
track with a 80/60 durometer rating. The lugs on this track
are 80% 80 durometer rubber, and the top 20% is made of
the softer 60 durometer rubber. This track is designed to be
a good all-around track for riding mostly in deep powder
snow but can climb the occasional hard snow hill.
Preparation For Storage
Prior to storing the snowmobile, it must be properly ser-
viced to prevent corrosion and component deterioration.
1. Clean the seat cushion with a damp cloth and a Vinyl
Protectant.
2. Clean the snowmobile thoroughly by hosing dirt, oil,
grass, and other foreign matter from the skid frame,
tunnel, hood, and belly pan. Allow the snowmobile
to dry thoroughly. DO NOT get water into any part
of the engine.
3. Change the engine oil.
4. Plug the exhaust system outlet with a clean cloth.
5. Fill the gas tank to its rated capacity; then add
Yamaha Fuel Stabilizer to the gas tank following
directions on the container for the stabilizer/gasoline
ratio. Tighten the gas tank cap securely.
6. With the snowmobile level, check the lubricant level
in the chain case. If low, add chain lube through the
fill plug hole.
7. Remove the drive belt from the primary sheave/sec-
ondary sheave. Lay the belt on a flat surface or slide
it into a cardboard sleeve to prevent warping or dis-
tortion during storage.
8. Clean and inspect the primary sheave and secondary
sheave.
9. Apply light oil to the upper steering post bushing and
shafts of the shock absorbers.
10. Lubricate the rear suspension with all-temperature
grease.
11. Tighten all nuts, bolts, and cap screws making sure
all nuts, bolts, and cap screws are tightened securely.
Make sure all rivets holding the components together
are tight. Replace all loose rivets.
12. Clean and polish the hood, console, and chassis. DO
NOT USE SOLVENTS. THE PROPELLANT WILL
DAMAGE THE FINISH.
NOTE: Disconnect the battery cables making sure
to disconnect the negative cable first; then clean the
battery posts and cables. Charge the battery.
13. If possible, store the snowmobile indoors. Raise the
track off the floor by blocking up the back end mak-
ing sure the snowmobile is secure. Loosen the track
adjusting bolts to reduce track tension. Cover the
snowmobile with a machine cover or a heavy tarpau-
lin to protect it from dirt and dust.
14. If the snowmobile must be stored outdoors, position
the snowmobile out of direct sunlight; then block the
entire snowmobile off the ground making sure the
snowmobile is secure. Loosen the track adjusting bolts
to reduce track tension. Cover with a machine cover or
a heavy tarpaulin to protect it from dirt, dust, and rain.
Preparation After Storage
Taking the snowmobile out of storage and correctly pre-
paring it for another season will assure many miles and
hours of trouble-free snowmobiling. Yamaha recom-
mends the following procedure:
1. Clean the snowmobile thoroughly. Polish the exterior
of the snowmobile.
2. Clean the engine. Remove the cloth from the exhaust
system. Check exhaust system and air-intake silencer
for obstructions.
3. Inspect all control wires and cables for signs of wear or
fraying. Replace if necessary. Use cable ties or tape to
route wires and cables away from hot or rotating parts.
4. Inspect the drive belt for cracks and tears. Check belt
specifications. Replace if damaged or worn. Install
the drive belt.
NOTE: If the old belt is worn but in reasonable con-
dition, retain it with the snowmobile as a spare in
case of an emergency.
5. Tighten all nuts, bolts, and cap screws making sure
all nuts, bolts, and cap screws are tightened securely.
6. If not done during preparation for storage, lubricate
the rear suspension with all-temperature grease.
7. Check the coolant level and all coolant hoses and
connections for deterioration or cracks. Add properly
mixed coolant as necessary.
8. Charge the battery until fully charged; then connect
the battery cables making sure to connect the posi-
tive cable first. Test the electric start system.
9. Inspect the entire brake system, all controls, head-
light, taillight, brakelight, ski wear bars, and head-
light aim; adjust or replace as necessary.
10. Adjust the track to the proper tension and alignment.
After Break-In Checkup/
Checklist
Certain areas require adjustment after the break-in period in
order to obtain peak performance and include the following.
DRIVE BELT POSITION — Drive belt length, condi-
tion, and position are all important for peak performance.
After the break-in period, drive belt deflection should be
checked according to the instructions given in the Drive
Train/Track/Brake Systems section of this manual.
CAUTION
Sealed batteries require charging if left for extended non-
start periods. Yamaha recommends trickle charging once a
month. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and cautions.
CAUTION
Avoid storing in direct sunlight and using a plastic cover as
moisture may collect on the snowmobile causing corrosion.

5
PRIMARY SHEAVE/SECONDARY SHEAVE OFF-
SET — If premature drive belt wear is experienced or if
the drive belt turns over, offset must be checked. Also,
offset must be checked whenever either the primary
sheave or secondary sheave is serviced.
TRACK TENSION AND ALIGNMENT — A certain
amount of stretch occurs on all tracks during the first 800
km (500 miles). The track must be inspected/adjusted
after the first 80 to 160 km (50 to 100 miles) to the speci-
fications given in the Track Specifications sub-section of
this section and periodically thereafter. If these adjust-
ments aren’t performed, the track may “derail” which
leads to track and slide rail damage.
Along with these major areas, other areas should be
checked and adjusted. Below is a list of items to check after
the break-in period. The recommended mileage for this
inspection is between 160 and 500 km (100 and 300 miles).
Check drive belt position - primary sheave/secondary sheave
offset
Adjust track tension and alignment
Check throttle cable tension
Check engine idle
Check coolant level
Check chain case lubricant level
Check engine oil level
Check lights (high/low beam, brakelight)
Check safety switch operation
Check engine compartment for any rubbing components
Check steering hardware for tightness
Check skid frame and A-arm mounting hardware for tightness
Check brake lever travel and adjustment
Grease all lubrication points

Part Element Impact on the shifting function
Primary sheave
Spring Preload • A larger preload increases the clutch engagement
speed, and the shifting speed tends to rise accord-
ingly. Shifting tends to become somewhat harder.
(increasing the spring reaction force)
• A smaller preload decreases the clutch engagement
speed, and the shifting speed tends to drop accord-
ingly. Shifting tends to become somewhat easier.
(decreasing the spring reaction force)
Spring
rate
• A larger spring rate increases the shifting speed. It
also slightly increases the clutch engagement speed.
Shifting tends to become somewhat harder. (increas-
ing the spring reaction force)
• A smaller spring rate decreases the shifting speed. It
also slightly decreases the clutch engagement speed.
Shifting tends to become somewhat easier. (decreas-
ing the spring reaction force)
Weight Shape,
weight
Shape and weight determine, the size of moment
about the center of the weight rotation when the
sheave is running.
• Heavier weight decreases the clutch engagement
and shifting speed. Shifting tends to become some-
what easier. (increasing the sheave thrust)
• Lighter weight increases the clutch engagement and
shifting speed. Shifting tends to become somewhat
harder. (decreasing the sheave thrust)
Part Element Impact on the shifting function
Primary sheave
Weight
rivet
Quantity
Material
(iron, alu-
minum)
Rivets are fastened through the hole in the weight.
• Using more rivets decreases the clutch engagement
and shifting speed. Shifting tends to become some-
what easier. (increasing the sheave thrust)
• Using less rivets increases the clutch engagement
and shifting speed. Shifting tends to become some-
what harder. (decreasing the sheave thrust)
Roller Outside
diameter
The outside diameter affects the contact angle with
the weight.
• A smaller diameter decreases the clutch engage-
ment speed. (increasing the sheave thrust)
• A larger diameter increases the clutch engagement
speed. (decreasing the sheave thrust)
Shim Quantity • Using more shims increases the preload and clutch
engagement speed. (increasing the spring reaction
force)
• Using less shim decreases the preload and clutch
engagement speed. (decreasing the spring reaction
force)
Secondary sheave
Spring Preload
Spring
rate (com-
pression,
torsion)
• A larger preload, spring rate or twist angle increases
the shifting speed and makes shifting somewhat
harder. (increasing the sheave thrust)
• A smaller preload, spring rate or twist angle
decreases the shifting speed and makes shifting
somewhat easier. (decreasing the sheave thrust)
Fixed
sheave
Spring
seat
Spring fit-
ting hole
One of the holes may be used selectively to change
the spring twist angle (preload). Refer to “ Spring”.
Torque
cam
Cam
angle
The cam angle determines the degree of sensitivity
(spring seat) of load torque detection.
• A smaller cam angle increases sensitivity, which in
turn increases the sheave thrust to make back shifting
easier. The shifting speed tends to increase and shift-
ing becomes somewhat harder. (increasing the
sheave thrust)
• A larger cam angle makes back shifting harder. The
shifting speed tends to decrease and shifting
becomes somewhat easier. (decreasing the sheave
thrust)
Shim Quantity Size of the secondary sheave clearance (between
fixed sheave and sliding sheave) can be adjusted by
the number of shims used.
Adjust the clearance when the V-belt wear deterio-
rates and belt width becomes smaller.
• Using more shims makes secondary sheave clear-
ance smaller.
• Using less shim makes secondary sheave clearance
larger.
When the V-belt width is smaller, wrap-around diame-
ter of the V-belt on the primary sheave is larger and
clutch engagement speed is slightly increased.
