secondary sheave assembly to 0.5 mm (0.02 in)
below the edge a.
If not, the V-belt clutch engagement speed will be
changed. The snowmobile may move unexpectedly
when the engine is started.
Adjust the V-belt position by removing or adding a
spacer 1 on each adjusting bolt.
Have a Yamaha dealer make this adjustment.

To ensure proper clutch performance, the V-belt
position should be adjusted by adding a spacer on
each adjusting bolt when the V-belt position reaches
1.5 mm (0.06 in) below the edge.
Have a Yamaha dealer make this adjustment.
