Performance
|
|
Horsepower Range:
|
Estimated 90-120 HP for 600cc models and 100-140 HP for 700cc models, depending on specific tuning and model year.
|
|
Torque Specifications:
|
Not explicitly stated in product info, but specific torque values for engine components (e.g., cylinder head bolts, crankshaft nuts) will be within the manual.
|
|
Fuel System
|
|
Carburetion Type:
|
Dual or Triple Carburetors (e.g., Mikuni VM series, depending on model).
|
|
Cooling System
|
|
Cooling Method:
|
Liquid-Cooled
|
|
Lubrication System
|
|
Oil Delivery:
|
Oil Injection (autolube) and pre-mix capabilities.
|
|
Maintenance
|
|
Service Intervals
|
|
Oil Change Interval:
|
Not applicable in the traditional sense for 2-stroke oil injection; focus on maintaining oil reservoir levels. Gearcase oil changes typically every 1-2 seasons or 1000-2000 miles, depending on usage.
|
|
Spark Plug Replacement:
|
Recommended every 1-2 seasons or as per manual, depending on usage and plug condition. Common spark plug types for this era include NGK BR9ES or similar.
|
|
Clutch Maintenance:
|
Periodic cleaning and inspection of primary and secondary clutches for wear, proper lubrication, and alignment. Spring and roller replacement as needed.
|
|
Fluid Specifications
|
|
2 Stroke Oil Type:
|
Yamaha-specific 2-stroke oil formulated for snowmobiles (e.g., Yamalube 2M or equivalent API TC-W3 certified oil).
|
|
Coolant Type:
|
Permanent antifreeze (ethylene glycol-based) with corrosion inhibitors, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water.
|
|
Gearcase Oil Type:
|
Yamaha's recommended gear oil or a high-quality SAE 80 or SAE 80W-90 hypoid gear oil.
|
|
Brake Fluid Type:
|
DOT 3 or DOT 4 hydraulic brake fluid, depending on Yamaha's specific recommendation for that era.
|
|
Known Issues
|
|
Engine Wear:
|
Potential for piston and ring wear in high-mileage or poorly maintained engines. Crankshaft seal leaks can occur.
|
|
Clutch Issues:
|
Wear on clutch rollers, buttons, and spider arms can affect performance. Belt slippage due to worn belts or improper clutch alignment.
|
|
Electrical Issues:
|
Stator failures, faulty rectifier/regulators, and intermittent wiring connections can cause charging or ignition problems.
|
|
Carburetor Problems:
|
Clogged jets, worn needles, and incorrect float levels due to fuel varnish or debris.
