If wear strip measurements are less than
specified, replacement of both wear strips
is necessary to prevent premature track
clip wear and possible track damage.
Take the snowmobile to an authorized
Yamaha Snowmobile dealer for this ser-
vice. This service is at the discretion and
expense of the snowmobile owner.
Each time a new set of wear strips are
installed, they should be tempered. Tem-
per the wear strips by driving the snow-
mobile for approximately a mile on a
hard pack trail; then immediately drive
into deep snow and allow the wear strips
to cool. Repeat the procedure (warming
up the wear strips; then cooling them
down) two or three times.
NOTE: The rail wear strips will
wear rapidly if the snowmobile is
operated on terrain on which the
snow cover is minimal. Loose
snow is required to cool and lubri-
cate the wear strips and prevent
accelerated wear.
NOTE: Two Wheel Kit and Four
Wheel Kit are available to reduce
wear strip wear.
NOTE: If operating on ice or hard-
packed snow conditions, it is rec-
ommended that Ice Scratchers be
installed to reduce wear strip wear
and engine overheating.
