Safety information

ESU14620

As the vehicle’s owner, you are responsible

for the safe and proper operation of your

snowmobile. When you ride your snowmo-

bile, you must know and use the following for

your safety. Severe injury or death may result

if you ignore any of the following.

Before you operate your snowmobile

● Read the Owner’s Manual and all labels.

Become familiar with all of the operating

controls and their function. Consult a

Yamaha dealer about any control or func-

tion you do not understand.

● Wear protective clothing. Wear an ap-

proved helmet, and a face shield or gog-

gles. Also, wear a good quality snowmobile

suit, boots, and a pair of gloves or mittens

that will permit use of your thumbs and fin-

gers for operation of the controls.

● Do not operate the snowmobile after or

while drinking alcohol or taking drugs. Your

ability to operate the snowmobile is re-

duced by the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Prepare your snowmobile

● Perform the pre-operation checks each

time you use the vehicle to make sure it is

in safe operating condition. Failure to in-

spect or maintain the vehicle properly in-

creases the possibility of an accident or

equipment damage. See page 39 for a list

of pre-operation checks.

● Apply the parking brake before starting the

engine. Never drive the snowmobile with

the parking brake applied. This may over-

heat the brake disc and reduce braking abil-

ity.

While using your snowmobile

● This snowmobile was not manufactured for

use on public streets, roads, or highways.

Such use is prohibited by law, and you

could collide with another vehicle.

● RS90PLT is designed to carry the OPERA-

TOR ONLY. Passengers are prohibited.

Carrying a passenger can cause loss of

control.

● Be careful where you ride. There may be

obstacles hidden beneath the snow. Stay

on established trails to minimize your expo-

sure to hazards. Ride slowly and cautiously

when you ride off of established trails. Hit-

ting a rock or stump, or running into wires

could cause an accident and injury.

● This snowmobile is not designed for use on

surfaces other than snow or ice. Use on dirt,

sand, grass, rocks, or bare pavement may

cause loss of control and may damage the

snowmobile.

Safety information

● Always ride with other snowmobilers when

going on a ride. You may need help if you

run out of fuel, have an accident, or damage

your snowmobile.

● Many surfaces such as ice and hardpacked

snow require much longer stopping distanc-

es. Be alert, plan ahead and begin deceler-

ating early. The best braking method on

most surfaces is to release the throttle and

apply the brake gently—not suddenly.

Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning

All engine exhaust contains carbon monox-

ide, a deadly gas. Breathing carbon monoxide

can cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness,

nausea, confusion, and eventually death.

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless,

tasteless gas which may be present even if

you do not see or smell any engine exhaust.

Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can collect

rapidly and you can quickly be overcome and

be unable to save yourself. Also, deadly lev-

els of carbon monoxide can linger for hours or

days in enclosed or poorly-ventilated areas. If

you experience any symptoms of carbon

monoxide poisoning, leave the area immedi-

ately, get fresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL

TREATMENT.

● Do not run the engine indoors. Even if you

try to ventilate engine exhaust with fans or

open windows and doors, carbon monoxide

can rapidly reach dangerous levels.

● Do not run the engine in poorly ventilated or

partially enclosed areas such as barns, ga-

rages, or carports.

● Do not run the engine outdoors where en-

gine exhaust can be drawn into a building

through openings such as windows and

doors.

Genuine Yamaha Accessories

Choosing accessories for your snowmobile is

an important decision. Genuine Yamaha Ac-

cessories, which are available only from a

Yamaha dealer, have been designed, tested,

and approved by Yamaha for use on your

snowmobile. Many companies with no con-

nection to Yamaha manufacture parts and ac-

cessories or offer other modifications for

Yamaha vehicles. Yamaha is not in a position

to test the products that these aftermarket

companies produce. Therefore, Yamaha can

neither endorse nor recommend the use of

accessories not sold by Yamaha or modifica-

tions not specifically recommended by

Yamaha, even if sold and installed by a

Yamaha dealer.

Maintenance and storage

● When laying the snowmobile on its side for

maintenance, use a suitable stand to keep

it in a stable and level position.

● Do not leave the snowmobile on its left side

for an extended period of time. Fuel may

leak out from the fuel breather hose.

● Do not allow anyone to stand behind the

snowmobile when starting, inspecting, or

adjusting the snowmobile. A broken track,

track fittings, or debris thrown by the track

could be dangerous to the operator or by-

standers.

● Modifications made to the snowmobile not

approved by Yamaha, or the removal of

original equipment may render your snow-

mobile unsafe for use, which may cause se-

vere personal injury. Modifications may

also make the snowmobile illegal to use.

● Never store the snowmobile with fuel in the

fuel tank inside a building where ignition

sources are present such as hot water and

space heaters, an open flame, sparks,

Safety information

clothes dryers, and the like. Allow the en-

gine to cool off before storing the snowmo-

bile in an enclosed space.

ESU10312

Throttle lever

Once the engine is running cleanly, squeez-

ing the throttle lever will increase the engine

speed and cause engagement of the drive

train. Regulate the speed of the snowmobile

by varying the throttle position. Because the

throttle is spring-loaded, the snowmobile will

decelerate, and the engine will return to idle

when it is released.

ESU13242

Throttle override system

(T.O.R.S.)

WARNING

EWS00041

If the T.O.R.S. is activated, make sure that

the cause of the malfunction has been cor-

rected and that the engine can be operated

without a problem before restarting the

engine. Continuing to operate with a mal-

function could cause loss of control or

damage.

If the throttle valves or throttle cable malfunc-

tions during operation, the T.O.R.S. will be ac-

tivated when the throttle lever is released.

The T.O.R.S. is designed to override the fuel

injection and limit the engine speed to less

than the clutch engagement speed if the throt-

tle valves fail to return to the idle position

when the throttle lever is released. (See page

103 for the clutch engagement speed.)

the following:

● a digital speedometer

● a tachometer

● an odometer

● two tripmeters (which show the distance

traveled since they were last set to zero)

● a fuel reserve tripmeter (which shows the

distance traveled since the fuel level warn-

ing indicator and warning light came on)

● an oil change tripmeter (which shows the

distance traveled since the periodic oil

change interval was reached)

● a clock

● warning indicators (which show engine

trouble, coolant temperature, fuel level, and

oil level warnings)

● indicator lights (which show high beam and

low coolant temperature conditions)

● a warning light (which shows warnings to-

gether with the warning indicators)

● a fuel meter (which shows the fuel remain-

ing in the fuel tank)

● a grip/thumb warmer level indicator (which

shows the grip warmer level or the thumb

warmer level)

● a display brightness control function

When the key is turned to the on position, the

tachometer needle makes one sweep, and

the low coolant temperature indicator light,

the warning light, and all segments of the

meter unit display come on and go off.

TIP

To switch the speedometer, odometer, and

tripmeter displays between kilometers and

miles, select the odometer mode “ODO”, and

then push the “SELECT” button for at least 10

seconds while the snowmobile is stopped.

Odometer and tripmeter modes

Pushing the “SELECT” button switches the

display between the odometer mode “ODO”

and the tripmeter modes “TRIP A” and “TRIP

B” in the following order:

ODO → TRIP A → TRIP B → ODO

If the fuel level warning indicator and warning

light come on (see page 17), the odometer

display will automatically change to the fuel

reserve tripmeter mode “TRIP F” and start

counting the distance traveled from that point.

In that case, push the “SELECT” button to

switch the display between the various trip-

meter and odometer modes in the following

order:

TRIP F → ODO → TRIP A → TRIP B → TRIP

To reset a tripmeter, select it by pushing the

“SELECT” button, and then push the “RE-

SET” button for at least 1 second. If you do not

reset the fuel reserve tripmeter manually, it

will reset itself automatically, and the display

will return to the prior mode after the snowmo-

bile has been refueled and traveled 5 km (3

mi).

Oil change tripmeter

When the periodic oil change interval is

reached at the initial 800 km (500 mi), then at

every 4000 km (2500 mi) thereafter, the oil

change tripmeter and “OIL” flash alternately in

the odometer display, and the tripmeter starts

counting the distance traveled from that point.

When this occurs, change the engine oil as

soon as possible. (See page 67 for the oil

change procedure.)

TIP

● The oil change tripmeter will flash only

when the snowmobile is stopped.

● To return to the previous display mode,

push the “SELECT” button. To display the

oil change tripmeter again, turn the key to

the off position, then back to the on position.

After changing the engine oil, reset the oil

change tripmeter as follows.

The display segments of the fuel meter disap-

pear towards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level de-

creases. When only one segment is left near

“E”, the fuel level warning indicator and the

warning light come on.

If the fuel level warning indicator and the

warning light come on, refuel as soon as pos-

sible.

Fuel level warning

indicator “ ”

The fuel level warning indicator and the warn-

ing light come on when the fuel level is low.

(See page 17 for details.)

The fuel level warning indicator, the warning

light, the fuel meter indicator, and all seg-

ments of the fuel meter start to flash when a

malfunctioning sensor, disconnected coupler,

broken lead, or short circuit is detected by the

self-diagnosis device of the snowmobile to

warn the rider of any of the above problems.

If this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer inspect

the snowmobile as soon as possible.

Oil level/pressure warning

indicator “ ”

The oil level/pressure warning indicator has

two functions. The warning indicator comes

on when the engine oil level is low and when

the engine oil pressure is low. The functions

are explained in the following sections.

Oil level warning

The warning indicator and the warning light

come on when the engine oil level is low.

If the warning indicator and the warning light

come on, place the snowmobile on a level

surface and allow it to idle for one minute.

Control functions

If the warning indicator and the warning light

go off, the engine oil level is sufficient, howev-

er it is getting low. Add engine oil as soon as

possible.

If the warning indicator and the warning light

do not go off, check the engine oil level in the

oil tank (see page 67 for engine oil level

checking procedures), and add engine oil if

necessary.

If the warning indicator and the warning light

still remain on, have a Yamaha dealer check

the snowmobile.

Oil pressure warning

The warning indicator comes on and “OP-LO”

(oil pressure low) appears in the odometer

display if the engine oil pressure is low when

the engine is started. At the same time, the

engine speed is limited to less than the clutch

engagement speed until the warning indicator

goes off.

If the engine oil pressure remains low for one

minute, the engine stops. If this occurs, have

a Yamaha dealer check the snowmobile.

TIP

If there is no engine oil in the oil passages

when the engine is started, such as after the

engine oil is changed, the warning indicator

may come on and “OP-LO” may appear in the

odometer display for a few seconds until the

oil circulates through the engine. The snow-

mobile can be operated normally after the

warning indicator goes off.

Self-diagnosis device

This model is equipped with a self-diagnosis

device for various electrical circuits.

If a problem is detected in any of those cir-

cuits, the warning light and the engine trouble

warning indicator flash, and an error code dis-

plays in the meter display. Note the error

code, and then have a Yamaha dealer inspect

the snowmobile as soon as possible.
