original purchaser. In order for this war-

ranty to remain in effect, this inspection

and registration must take place within

ten (10) days after ownership transfer.

WARRANTY 

QUESTIONS AND 

ANSWERS

Q. What costs are my responsibility

during the warranty period?

A. The customer’s responsibility

includes all costs of normal mainte-

nance services, non-warranty repairs,

accident and collision damages, as

well as oil, spark plugs, clutch drive

belts, and slide runners.

Q. What are some examples of “abnor-

mal” strain, neglect, or abuse?

A. These terms are general and over-

lap each other in areas. Specific

examples include: Running the

machine out of oil, hitting an object

submerged under snow, operation

on surfaces other than snow or ice,

operating the machine with a bro-

ken or damaged part which causes

another part to fail, and so on. If

you have any specific questions on

operation or maintenance, please

contact your dealer for advice.

Q. May I perform any or all of the rec-

ommended maintenance shown in

the Owner’s Manual instead of hav-

ing the dealer do them?

A. Yes, if you are a qualified snowmo-

bile mechanic and follow the proce-

dures specified in the Owner’s and

Service Manual. We do recommend,

however, that items requiring spe-

cial tools or equipment be done by a

Yamaha snowmobile dealer.

Q. Will the warranty be void or can-

celed if I do not operate or maintain

my new Yamaha exactly as speci-

fied in the Owner’s Manual?

A. No. The warranty on a new Yamaha

cannot be “voided” or “canceled.”

However, if a particular failure is

caused by operation or maintenance

other than as shown in the Owner’s

Manual, that failure may not be

covered under warranty.
