Recommended Gasoline
The recommended gasoline to use in these snowmobiles is RON 95 octane regular unleaded. In many areas, oxygenates are added to the gasoline. Oxygenated gasolines 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 accumulation of moisture in the fuel system.
Recommended Engine Oil
The recommended oil to use is SemiSynthetic Yamalube 0W-30 oil.
CAUTION
Any oil used in place of the recommended 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 (12,500 miles).
Filling Gas Tank
Since gasoline expands as its temperature increases, the gas tank must be filled to its rated capacity only. Expansion room must be maintained in the tank particularly if the tank is filled with cold gasoline and then moved to a warm area.
Also, if the snowmobile is to remain on a trailer after filling the gas tank, the bed of the trailer must be maintained level to prevent gasoline from draining out through the gas tank vent hose.
WARNING
Always fill the gas tank in a well-ven- tilated area. Never add gasoline to the snowmobile gas tank near any open flames or with the engine running. DO NOT SMOKE while filling the gas tank. Do not sit on the snowmobile without first installing the gas tank cap.
The SR10SD46 features a 15.9 L (4.2 US gallon) auxiliary gas tank. A separate gas tank cap is located beneath the cowling just behind the operator seat. The auxiliary tank is plumbed directly into the main gas tank.
YM-126
The engine (when new or rebuilt) requires a short break-in period before the engine is subjected to heavy load conditions.
4
This engine does not require any premixed fuel during the break-in period.
There is never a more important period in the life of the engine than the first 500 km (300 miles).
Since the engine is brand new, do not put an excessive load on it for the first 500 km (300 miles). 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 miles): Avoid prolonged operation above 6000 RPM.
160-500 km (100–300 miles): Avoid prolonged operation above 8000 RPM.
500 km (300 miles) and beyond: The snowmobile can now be operated normally.
NOTE: After 800 km (500 miles) of operation, the engine oil must be changed and the oil filter replaced. If any engine trouble should occur during the engine break-in period, immediately have a Yamaha dealer check the snowmobile.
Drive belts require a break-in period of 40 km (25 miles). Drive the snowmobile for 40 km (25 miles) at 3/4 throttle or less. By revving the engine up and down (but not exceeding 100 km/h [60 mph]), the exposed cord on the side of a new belt will be worn down. This will allow the drive belt to gain its optimum flexibility and will extend drive belt life.
NOTE: Before starting the snowmobile in extremely cold temperatures, the drive belt should be removed and warmed up to room temperature. Once the drive belt is at room temperature, install the drive belt.
CAUTION
Never run the engine with the drive belt removed. Excessive revving of the engine could result in serious engine damage and drive clutch failure.
There is a “cold drive-away” function incorporated within the engine.
NOTE: When cold-starting the engine, the coolant temperature warning icon will illuminate and the LOW TEMP display on the readout screen will begin to flash. With the engine in this temperature range, the RPM “limit” of the engine will be below drive system engagement speed. As the engine warms, the coolant temperature warning icon will begin to flash, the TEMP display will continue to flash, and the RPM “limit” of the engine will increase allowing the snowmobile to move without full-throttle operation. When the engine reaches proper operating temperature, the coolant temperature warning icon and the LOW TEMP display will go out.

A. Coolant Temperature Indicator
The indicator and LOW TEMP display will cease to flash when the engine reaches proper operating temperature.
If the coolant temperature rises too far above proper operating temperature, the indicator will flash a warning (alert) and the engine will “surge” to alert the operator. If the coolant temperature rises to a critical point above proper operating temperature, the indicator will cease flashing and will remain constantly illuminated.
NOTE: If the indicator is constantly on, the engine will shut off if vehicle speed is reduced to 1.5 km-h (0.9 MPH) or slower.
CAUTION
If the indicator is illuminated, stop the engine immediately and allow it to cool down. If unable to either determine or remedy the problem, take the snowmobile to an authorized Yamaha Snowmobile dealer for service. If not under warranty, this service is at the discretion and expense of the snowmobile owner.
B. High Beam Indicator
The indicator is on whenever the high beam mode is selected by the headlight switch.
C. Oil Pressure Indicator
The indicator relates to engine oil pressure, not the oil level; however, if the oil level is low, it may affect oil pressure. If oil pressure is lost, check the oil level (see page 22).
If the indicator does not go out or if the engine does not start, take the snowmobile to an authorized Yamaha Snowmobile dealer. If not under warranty, this service is at the discretion and expense of the snowmobile owner.

Used in conjunction with the fuel intake system is a specially designed air-intake silencer. The purpose of the silencer is to quiet the intake of fresh air. Since the fuel intake system is calibrated with the airintake silencer in place, the engine must never be run with the silencer removed. Performance will not be improved if the air-intake silencer is removed. In contrast, severe engine damage will occur.
CAUTION
These snowmobiles are not designed to be operated in dusty conditions. Operating the snowmobile in dusty conditions will result in severe engine damage.
8
These snowmobiles are equipped with a closed liquid cooling system for engine cooling. The cooling system should be inspected daily for leakage and damage. Also, the coolant level should be checked daily. If leakage or damage is detected, take the snowmobile to an authorized Yamaha Snowmobile dealer for service. If not under warranty, this service is at the discretion and expense of the snowmobile owner.
When filling the cooling system, use an ethylene glycol-based coolant/water mixture which will satisfy the coldest anticipated weather conditions of your area in accordance with the coolant manufacturer’s recommendations.
NOTE: If operating on ice or hardpacked snow conditions, it is recommended that Ice Scratchers be installed to reduce wear strip wear and engine overheating.
For checking/filling cooling system, refer to Coolant Level sub-section in the Maintenance section.
It is extremely important that the battery be maintained at full charge at all times and that the battery connections be clean and tight. If charging the battery becomes necessary, refer to Battery sub-section in the Maintenance section.
CAUTION
Always turn the ignition switch key to the OFF position when the snowmobile is not being used. Leaving the ignition switch in the ON position will result in discharging the battery and possible damage to the battery.
NOTE: Yamaha does not recommend jump-starting a snowmobile with a dead battery but rather to remove the battery, service it, and correctly charge it; however, in an emergency, it may be necessary to jump-start a snowmobile. If so, use the following procedure to carefully and safely complete this procedure.
WARNING
Improper handling or connecting of a battery may result in severe injury including acid burns, electrical burns, or blindness as a result of an explosion. Always remove rings and watches. Any time service is performed on a battery, the following must be observed: keep sparks, open flame, cigarettes, or any other flame away. Always wear safety glasses. Protect skin and clothing when handling a battery. When servicing a battery in an enclosed space, keep the area well-venti- lated.
NOTE: To access the battery, the seat must be removed.
1.For the snowmobile to be jumpstarted, slide any terminal boots away.
2.Inspect the battery for any signs of electrolyte leaks, loose terminals, or bulging sides. Leaking or bulging battery cases may indicate a frozen or shorted battery.
WARNING
If any of these conditions exist, DO NOT attempt to jump-start, boost, or charge the battery. An explosion could occur causing serious injury.
9
3.Inspect the snowmobile to be used for jump-starting to determine if voltage and ground polarity are compatible. The vehicle must have a 12-volt DC, negative ground electrical system.
CAUTION
Always make sure the electrical systems are of the same voltage and ground polarity prior to connecting jumper cables. If not, severe electrical damage may occur.
4.Move the vehicle to be used for the jump-start close enough to ensure the jumper cables easily reach; then set and lock the brakes, shut off all electrical accessories, and turn the ignition switch OFF.
NOTE: Make sure all switches on the snowmobile to be jump-started are turned OFF.
5.Disconnect all external accessories such as cell phones, GPS units, and radios on both vehicles.
CAUTION
Failure to disconnect electronic accessories during jump-starting may cause system damage due to power spikes.
6.Attach one clamp of the positive (red) cable to the positive (+) terminal (1) of the dead battery (C) being careful not to touch any metal with the other clamp; then attach the other clamp of the positive (red) cable to the positive (+) terminal (2) of the good battery (B).

NOTE: Some jumper cables may be the same color but the clamps or ends will be color-coded red and black.
7.Attach one clamp of the negative jumper cable (black) to the negative (-) terminal (3) of the good battery (B); then attach the other clamp of the negative (black) jumper cable (4) to an unpainted metal surface (A) on the engine or frame well away from the dead battery and fuel system components.
WARNING
Never make the final connection to a battery as a spark could ignite hydrogen gases causing an explosion of the battery resulting in acid burns or blindness.
8.Stand well away from the dead battery and start the vehicle with the good battery. Allow the vehicle to run for several minutes applying some charge to the dead battery.
9.Start the snowmobile with the dead battery and allow it to run for several minutes before disconnecting the jumper cables.
10.Remove the jumper cables in opposite order of hook-up (4, 3, 2, 1). Be careful not to short cables against bare metal.
NOTE: Have the battery and electrical system checked prior to operating the snowmobile again.
The drive clutch and driven clutch do not require lubrication; therefore, no special maintenance is required by the snowmobile owner except for periodical cleaning.
However, the drive clutch and driven clutch should be disassembled, cleaned, and inspected by an authorized Yamaha Snowmobile dealer after every 4000 km (2500 miles) or seasonally, whichever occurs first. This service is at the discretion and expense of the snowmobile owner.
10
When operating the snowmobile at high altitudes, it may be necessary to change certain component parts of the drive clutch and/or the driven clutch. See an authorized Yamaha Snowmobile dealer for further information.
CAUTION
DO NOT attempt to service the drive clutch and driven clutch. The drive clutch and driven clutch must be serviced by an authorized Yamaha Snowmobile dealer only.
The alignment between the drive clutch and driven clutch is set at the factory. Normally, no adjustment is necessary as long as neither the drive clutch nor the driven clutch is removed or disassembled. However, if premature drive belt wear is experienced or if the drive belt turns over, the drive clutch/driven clutch alignment must be checked. Take the snowmobile to an authorized Yamaha Snowmobile dealer for this service. If not under warranty, this service is at the discretion and expense of the snowmobile owner.
The fuel pump is designed to provide adequate amount of gas to the injectors at all throttle settings. If a fuel delivery problem is suspected, take the snowmobile to an authorized Yamaha Snowmobile dealer. If not under warranty, this service is at the discretion and expense of the snowmobile owner.
Shock Absorbers
(Rebuildable Gas)
Each shock absorber should be visibly checked weekly for fluid leakage, cracks or breaks in the body/reservoir, or a bent shaft. If any one of these conditions is detected, replacement or service is necessary. Take the snowmobile to an authorized Yamaha Snowmobile dealer for this service. If not under warranty, this service is at the discretion and expense of the snowmobile owner.
NOTE: When the snowmobile is operated in extremely cold weather (-23°C/-10°F or colder), a small amount of leakage may be present. Unless the leakage is excessive, replacement is not necessary.
NOTE: The frequency of servicing rebuildable shock absorbers will vary according to the types of conditions and terrain the snowmobile has been subjected to. If riding quality deteriorates (or seems to be deteriorating), take the snowmobile to an authorized Yamaha Snowmobile dealer for shock absorber evaluation and/or servicing. This service is at the discretion and expense of the snowmobile owner.
Accelerated wear strip and track clip wear caused by operating on ice or hardpacked snow conditions is NOT covered under Yamaha warranty policy.
NOTE: If regularly operating on ice or hard-packed snow conditions, Performance Wear Strips may be installed at the expense of the snowmobile owner.
In general, track life will be shortened when studs are installed. Drilling stud holes into the drive track will cut the internal fibers weakening the track. Avoid spinning the drive track. Studs may catch on an object and pull out of the track leaving tears and damage around the already weakened area. To minimize possible damage, consult your stud manufacturer for installation and stud pattern recommendations. Yamaha does not recommend studding a track.

These models are equipped with a Power Claw style track which is specially designed for use in powder snow riding conditions. When the Power Claw track is operated in hard-packed snow conditions, it will run slightly slower than a standard track and it will accelerate wear strip wear. To decrease the amount of wear strip wear, slower speeds must be maintained when operating on hardpacked trails. Accelerated wear strip wear caused by operating a Power Claw track on hard-packed snow conditions is NOT covered under Yamaha warranty policy.
NOTE: If operating on ice or hardpacked snow conditions, it is recommended that Ice Scratchers be installed to reduce wear strip wear and engine overheating.
1.Always warm up the engine for 2-3 minutes prior to shifting into reverse.
2.With the engine at idle (under 2500 RPM) and the snowmobile at a complete stop, press and release the reverse switch button.
NOTE: The snowmobile must be at a complete stop and the engine running under 2500 RPM before the system will allow shifting.
3.When reverse is engaged, a reverse icon will illuminate on the deluxe digital gauge and a reverse alarm will sound.
CAUTION
Never shift into reverse while the snowmobile is moving forward as it is hard on the drive system.
Operating in Reverse
The electrical reverse function offers the operator the convenience of being able to back up the snowmobile rather than having to turn the snowmobile around by hand. This feature, under most situations, should not be used to free a stuck snowmobile as it will tend to dig the skis deeper into the snow. Always use minimal speed when operating in reverse and come to a complete stop before shifting from either forward to reverse or reverse to forward.

741-438A
NOTE: Correct drive belt tension
(deflection) is important for the reverse function to operate properly. If the belt is too tight, difficulty in engaging reverse will be experienced.
WARNING
Use caution and minimal speed when operating the snowmobile in reverse. Be sure the button is in the desired position.
1.When shifting into reverse, always wait for the reverse icon to illuminate and the reverse alarm to sound before backing up.
NOTE: The reverse function is cancelled whenever the engine is shut off.
2.After shifting from reverse to forward (or from forward to reverse), apply the throttle slowly and evenly to allow the driven pulley to engage properly.
CAUTION
After reversing in deep powder snow conditions, make sure the snowflap does not become “caught up” in the track. Track and/or snowflap damage may occur.
CAUTION
If the snowmobile is equipped with ice scratchers, the scratchers must be disengaged or component damage will occur.
