SNO-954

Snowmobile

Identification

This snowmobile has two identification

numbers: The Vehicle Identification

Number (VIN) is stamped into the right

side of the tunnel and the Engine Serial

Number (ESN) is on the front side of the

recoil cover.

0726-200

0744-926

These numbers are required by the dealer

to complete warranty claims properly. No

warranty will be allowed by Yamaha if

either the ESN or VIN is removed or

mutilated in any way.

Always provide the snowmobile model

name, VIN, and engine serial number

when contacting an authorized Yamaha

Snowmobile dealer for parts, service,

accessories, or warranty.

Gasoline - Oil

This snowmobile has a four-cycle

engine; therefore, it is unnecessary to

premix gasoline and oil.

Recommended Gasoline

The recommended gasoline to use in this

snowmobile is 87 minimum octane regu-

lar unleaded. Oxygenated gasolines are

acceptable gasolines. Do not use gaso-

lines containing methanol.



NOTE: If not satisfied with gaso-

line economy of the engine when
using a gas/alcohol blend, switch to
unleaded gasoline without alcohol.

CAUTION

Do not use white gas or gasolines
containing methanol. Only Yamaha
approved gasoline additives may be
used.
