Snowmobile Identification
The snowmobile has two important identification numbers. The Vehicle Identification 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 information. The Engine Serial Number (ESN) is
stamped into the crankcase of the engine.
0726-383
SR10 Models
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 authorized Yamaha Snowmobile dealer for
parts, service, accessories, or warranty. If
the complete engine must be replaced,
ask the dealer to notify Yamaha for correct registration information.

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.
SR10SD46 Models
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.
Always fill the gas tank in a well-ventilated 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.
Engine Break-In
The engine (when new or rebuilt)
requires a short break-in period before
the engine is subjected to heavy load conditions.

mixed 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 Belt Break-In
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.
Cold Drive-Away Function
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 con-
stantly 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.

2. Tighten the four cap screws evenly
to 15 ft-lb.
WARNING
Tighten the cap screws according
to specifications to prevent unexpected “movement” of the handlebar during operation over rough
terrain. DO NOT position handlebar
so steering (maximum right/left
turning capabilities) or throttle and
brake controls are affected.
Handlebar Tilt (SR10 Models)
The handlebar can be adjusted to the
operator’s preference. To adjust the handlebar, use the following procedure:
1. Remove the handlebar cover; then
loosen the eight cap screws securing
the handlebar caps to the riser and the
riser to the steering post.
CAUTION
Do not rotate the handlebar to a
position that allows air to enter the
brake system.
WARNING
Tighten cap screws according to
specifications to prevent unexpected “movement” of the handlebar during operation over rough
terrain. DO NOT position the handlebar so steering (maximum right/
left turning capabilities) or throttle
and brake controls are affected.
Exhaust System
The exhaust system is designed to reduce
noise and to improve the total performance of the engine. If any exhaust system component is removed from the
engine and the engine is run, severe
engine damage will result.
Air-Intake Silencer
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.
0747-828

Cooling System
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 hard-
packed 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.
Battery
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.
Jump-Starting
NOTE: Yamaha does not recom-
mend 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-ventilated.
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

(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 elec-
trical system checked prior to
operating the snowmobile again.
Drive Clutch and Driven Clutch
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.
Drive Clutch/Driven Clutch Alignment
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.
Fuel Pump
The fuel pump is designed to provide
adequate amount of gas to the
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.
injectors
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 servic-
ing 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.
Track/Track Studs
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.

Paddle Track (On Equipped
Reverse Switch Button
Models)
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 hard-
packed snow conditions, it is recommended that Ice Scratchers be
installed to reduce wear strip wear
and engine overheating.
Reverse Operation
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.
Shifting Into Reverse
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
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.
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.
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.
