8. Connect the harness to the gear posi-
tion sensor; then secure the connec-
tor to the main harness using a Cable
Tie.
9. Install the lower console; then install
the seat, hood, and both access pan-
els.
10. Start the engine; then shift the snow-
mobile into and out of reverse three

NOTE: If excessive build-up of
moisture or discolored oil is
detected in the chain case, it may
be necessary to replace the lube.
Replacing Lubricant
NOTE: Replacing the 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.
1. Place the snowmobile on a level sur-
face. Remove both access panels
and the hood; then remove the
exhaust resonator.
2. Remove the three screws securing
the shift actuator to the chain case;
then disconnect the actuator wiring
harness and remove the actuator,
extension, detent, and spring.
3. Place a drain pain under the chain
case; then loosen the eleven screws
securing the chain case cover/oil
tank assembly to the chain case
housing starting with the bottom
screws first.
NOTE: Do not remove all eleven
screws completely until the chain
lube has been completely
removed. This will help keep
debris/oil out of the screw holes.
4. Remove all eleven screws; then
swing the chain case out of the way.
Account for a thrust washer on the
countershaft.

the O-rings of the new actuator
extension and the shift actuator
detent block before installing.
8. 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
