Periodic maintenance and adjustment

Remember:
Less air at higher altitude means there is less
horsepower available, even with the optimal
air/fuel ratio. Expect acceleration and top
speed to be reduced at higher altitudes.
To overcome operating with less power at
high altitudes, your snowmobile may also re-
quire different settings for the drive chain
gears and V-belt clutch to avoid poor perfor-
mance and rapid wear. If you plan to operate
your snowmobile at an altitude different from
the area where you bought it, be sure to con-
sult a Yamaha dealer. The dealer can tell you
if there are any changes necessary for the al-
titude where you plan to ride.
NOTICE: The
drive chain gears and V-belt clutch should
be adjusted when operating above a high
altitude of 900 m (3000 ft). Consult a
Yamaha dealer.

Valve clearance
The valve clearance changes with use, result-
ing in improper air-fuel mixture and/or engine
noise. To prevent this from occurring, the
valve clearance must be adjusted by a
Yamaha dealer at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance chart.

Engine oil and oil filter cartridge
The engine oil level should be checked before
each use. In addition, the oil must be changed

vals specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.

NOTICE

●
Do not run the engine with too much or
not enough oil in the oil tank. Oil could
spray out or the engine could be dam-
aged.
●
Be sure to change the engine oil after
the first 800 km (500 mi) of operation,
and every 4000 km (2500 mi) thereafter
or at the start of a new season, other-
wise the engine will wear quickly.
●
The oil filter cartridge should be re-
placed after the first 800 km (500 mi) of
operation, and every 20000 km (12000
mi) of operation thereafter.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the snowmobile on a level surface
and apply the parking brake.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for 10–15
minutes, and then turn it off.
TIP
●
The engine can also be warmed up by driv-
ing the snowmobile for 10–15 minutes.
●
After operating the snowmobile, allow the
engine to idle for at least 10 seconds before
turning it off.
