Lubrication
Chain Case
NOTE: The snowmobile must be
on a level surface for this procedure.
1. Check the lubricant level in the
chain case by using the sight glass.
0746-115
NOTE: The correct level is when
the lubricant is at least halfway up
in the sight glass.
NOTE: Adding lubricant can be
done by the snowmobile owner if
qualified to do so. If the owner
does not feel qualified, take the
snowmobile to an authorized
Yamaha Snowmobile dealer for this
service. This service is at the dis-
cretion and expense of the snow-
mobile owner.
2. If the lubricant level is low, remove
the right-side access panel.
3. Remove the three screws securing
the shift actuator to the chain case,
disconnect the actuator wiring har-
ness, and remove the actuator w/
extension, detent, and spring; then
add appropriate amount of Synthetic
Chain Lube through the shift actua-
tor opening.
NOTE: Be sure to add a small
amount of white lithium grease to
the O-rings of the new actuator
extension and the shift actuator
detent block before installing.
4. Install the actuator extension and
gently rotate counter clockwise to
make sure the shift fork is in the for-
ward position. When the shift fork is
in the forward position, make sure
the notch in the extension is directed
downward.

5. Install spring into the bottom of shift
actuator detent block and install into
the chain case cover. The notch in
the extension should be lined up
with the notch in the block.

NOTE: To verify everything is
installed correctly, turn the exten-
sion counter clockwise. The notch
in the extension should not rotate
out of the detent block.
6. Rotate the extension clockwise
approximately 20° making sure not
to pull out the extension when rotat-
ing. This is only to aid in the instal-
lation of the actuator.
