●
If the engine fails to start, release the
switch, wait a few seconds, then try
again. Each attempt should be as short
as possible to preserve the battery. Do
not crank the engine more than 10 sec-

Break-in
There is never a more important period in the
life of your engine than the period between 0
and 500 km (300 mi). For this reason, you
should read the following material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not put an
excessive load on it for the first 500 km (300
mi). The various parts in the engine wear and
polish themselves to the correct operating
clearances. During this period, prolonged full-
throttle operation or any condition that might
result in engine overheating must be avoided.
Operating your snowmobile for the
first time
Start the engine and let it idle for 15 minutes.
0–160 km (0–100 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 6000 r/min.
160–500 km (100–300 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 8000 r/min.
500 km (300 mi) and beyond
The snowmobile can now be operated nor-
mally.
CAUTION:

●
After 800 km (500 mi) of operation, the
engine oil must be changed and the oil
filter cartridge replaced.

If any engine trouble should occur dur-
ing the engine break-in period, immedi-
ately have a Yamaha dealer check the
snowmobile.

Riding your snowmobile
Getting to know your snowmobile
A snowmobile is a rider active vehicle, and
your riding position and your balance are the
two basic factors of maneuvering your snow-

Riding your snowmobile requires skills ac-

Take the time to learn the basic techniques

Riding your new snowmobile can be a very
enjoyable activity, providing you with hours of
pleasure. However, it is essential to familiar-
ize yourself with the operation of the snowmo-
bile to achieve the skill necessary to enjoy
riding safely. Before operating the snowmo-
bile, read this Owner’s Manual completely
and understand the operation of the controls.
Pay particular attention to the safety informa-

Please read all warning and caution labels on
your snowmobile. Also, read the Snowmobil-

your snowmobile.
Learning to ride your snowmobile
Before you ride, always perform the pre-oper-
ation checks listed on page 26. The short time
spent checking the condition of the snowmo-
bile will be rewarded with added safety and a
more reliable snowmobile. Always wear the
proper clothing for both warmth and to help
protect you from injury if an accident occurs.
Become familiar with operating your snowmo-
bile at low speeds, even if you are an experi-
enced rider. Do not attempt to operate at
maximum performance until you are totally fa-

performance characteristics.
The beginning operator should select a large

bile. Make sure that this area is free of obsta-
