NOTICE
This manual was written by the Yamaha Motor
Company primarily for use by Yamaha dealers and
their qualified mechanics. It is not possible to put an
entire mechanic’s education into one manual, so it
is assumed that persons using this book to perform
maintenance and repairs on Yamaha snowmobiles
have a basic understanding of the mechanical concepts and procedures inherent in snowmobile
repair. Without such knowledge, attempted repairs
or service to this model may render it unfit and/or
unsafe to use. Yamaha Motor Company, Ltd. is
continually striving to improve all models manufactured by Yamaha. Modifications and significant
changes in specifications or procedures will be forwarded to all authorized Yamaha dealers and will,
where applicable, appear in future editions of this
manual.
HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
Particularly important information is distinguished in
this manual by the following notations:
The Safety Alert Symbol means ATTENTION! BE
ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
WARNING
Failure to follow WARNING instructions could result
in severe injury or death to the snowmobile operator, a bystander, or a person inspecting or repairing
the snowmobile.
CAUTION:
A CAUTION indicates special precautions that
must be taken to avoid damage to the snowmobile.
NOTE:
A NOTE provides key information that can make
procedures easier or clearer.

MANUAL FORMAT
All of the procedures in this manual are organized
in a sequential, step-by-step format. The information has been compiled to provide the mechanic
with an easy to read, handy reference that contains
comprehensive explanations of all inspection,
repair, assembly, and disassembly operations.
In this revised format, the condition of a faulty component will precede an arrow symbol and the
course of action required to correct the problem will
follow the symbol, e.g.,
• Bearings
Pitting/damage → Replace.
EXPLODED DIAGRAM
Each chapter provides exploded diagrams before
each disassembly section to facilitate correct disassembly and assembly procedures.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
PREPARATION FOR REMOVAL AND DISASSEMBLY
INFO
1. Remove all dirt, mud, dust, and foreign material before removal and
disassembly.
While cleaning, take care to protect the electrical parts, such as relays,
switches, motor, resistors, controllers, etc., from high pressure water
splashes.
2. Use proper tools and cleaning equipment.
Refer to “SPECIAL TOOLS”.
3. When disassembling the snowmobile, keep mated parts together. This
includes gears, cylinders, pistons, and other parts that have been
“mated” through normal wear. Mated parts must be reused or replaced
as an assembly.
4. During disassembly of the snowmobile, clean all parts and place them
in trays in the order of disassembly. This will speed up assembly time
and help ensure that all parts are reinstalled correctly.
1
5. Keep all parts away from any source of fire.
6. Be sure to keep to the tightening torque specifications. When tightening bolts, nuts, and screws, start with those that have larger diameters,
and proceed from the inside to the outside in a crisscross pattern.
ALL REPLACEMENT PARTS
We recommend using genuine Yamaha parts for all replacements. Use oil
and grease recommended by Yamaha for assembly and adjustments.
1-2
GEN
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
GASKETS, OIL SEALS, AND O-RINGS
1. All gaskets, seals, and O-rings should be replaced when an engine is
overhauled. All gasket surfaces, oil seal lips, and O-rings must be
cleaned.
2. Properly oil all mating parts and bearings during reassembly. Apply
grease to the oil seal lips.
LOCK WASHERS/PLATES AND COTTER PINS
All lock washers/plates 1 and cotter pins must be replaced if they are
removed. Lock tab(s) should be bent along the bolt or nut flat(s) after the
bolt or nut has been properly tightened.
INFO
BEARINGS AND OIL SEALS
Install the bearings 1 and oil seals 2 with their manufacturer marks or
numbers facing outwards. (In other words, the stamped letters must be on
the side exposed to view.) When installing oil seals, apply a light coating
of low temperature lithium-soap-based grease to the seal lips. Oil the
bearings liberally when installing.
CAUTION:
Do not use compressed air to spin the bearings dry. This causes
damage to the surface of the bearings.
CIRCLIPS
All circlips should be inspected carefully before reassembly. Always
replace piston pin clips after one use. Replace misshapen circlips. When
installing a circlip 1, make sure that the sharp edged corner 2 is positioned opposite to the thrust 3 it receives. See the sectional view.

LOCTITE
After installing fasteners that have LOCTITE® applied, wait 24 hours
before using the snowmobile. This will give the LOCTITE
properly.

WARNING
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine
is hot. Pressurized scalding hot fluid and steam
may be blown out, which could cause serious
injury. When the engine has cooled, place a
thick rag or a towel over the radiator cap.
Slowly turn the cap counterclockwise until it
stop. This allows any residual pressure to
escape. When the hissing sound has stopped,
press down on the cap while turning it counterclockwise to remove it.
4. Place an open container under the thermostat
outlet hose, coolant reservoir hose and, for
FX10MT/FX10MTR/FX10MTRA only, heat
exchanger.

• Install the radiator cap.
Apply and lock the parking brake. Start the
engine and run it at less than the clutch engagement speed until the coolant circulates (approximately 3 ~ 5 minutes). The heat exchanger will

WARNING
To avoid severe injury or death:
• Make sure the snowmobile is securely supported with a suitable stand.
• Do not exceed the clutch engagement speed.
Drive line damage and excessive V-belt wear
could occur, or the snowmobile could unexpectedly move forward if the clutch engages.
• Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated
area.
