General Information
Snowmobile
Identification
The snowmobile has two important iden-
tification numbers. The Vehicle Identifi-
cation Number (VIN) is stamped into the
tunnel near the right-side footrest and on
a decal beneath the seat. The decal also
displays pertinent production informa-
tion. The Engine Serial Number (ESN) is
stamped into the crankcase of the engine.
Gasoline-Oil
Recommended Gasoline
The recommended gasoline to use in
these snowmobiles is 87 octane regular
unleaded. In many areas, oxygenates are
added to the gasoline. Oxygenated gaso-
lines containing up to 10% ethanol are
acceptable gasolines.
When using ethanol blended gasoline, it is
not necessary to add a gasoline antifreeze
since ethanol will prevent the accumula-
tion of moisture in the fuel system.
These numbers are required by the dealer
to complete warranty claims properly. No
warranty will be allowed by Yamaha Inc.
if the engine serial number or VIN is
removed or mutilated in any way.
Always provide the snowmobile name,
VIN, and ESN when contacting an autho-
rized Yamaha Snowmobile dealer for
parts, service, accessories, or warranty. If
the complete engine must be replaced,
ask the dealer to notify Yamaha for cor-
rect registration information.
Control Locations
Shown are the typical control locations
for Yamaha snowmobiles. Location of a
specific control will vary according to
model.

Recommended Engine Oil
The recommended oil to use is Semi-
Synthetic YAMALUBE 0W-30 oil.
Any oil used in place of the recom-
mended oil could cause serious
engine damage
After 800 km (500 miles) of operating,
the engine oil must changed and the oil
filter replaced. The engine oil should be
changed every 4000 km (2500 miles)
before prolonged storage and the oil filter
should be changed every 20,000 km
