Engine Manufacturer:
Yamaha
Engine Code:
Designation likely specific to Yamaha's internal coding for this model's engine (e.g., SRX700 specific block codes)
Engine Configuration:
Inline 3-Cylinder
Engine Displacement:
698cc (approximate)
Engine Bore X Stroke:
Specifics would be in manual, typically around 72mm x 64mm for this displacement range in 3-cyl 2-strokes.
Engine Aspirated Type:
Naturally Aspirated with Reed Valve Induction
Horsepower:
Estimated 120-135 HP (stock, varies by year/tuning)
Torque:
Specific figures would be in manual, typically strong mid-range torque for this engine type.
Fuel Delivery:
Carbureted (likely Mikuni VM Series or similar high-performance carbs)
Carburetor Size:
Specifics in manual, likely 38mm or 40mm triple carb setup.
Fuel Type:
Unleaded Gasoline (Octane rating specified in manual, likely 91+)
Oil Mixture:
Autolube (pre-mix ratio if manual oil injection is disabled or bypassed)
Display:
Basic digital or analog gauge cluster for speed, RPM, fuel level, and warning lights.
N/A:
This era of snowmobile predates advanced driver-assistance systems.
N/A:
No advanced connectivity features typical of modern vehicles.
Oil Change Interval:
Refer to manual for specific intervals based on mileage or operating hours, but typically before season storage and periodically during use.
Spark Plug Replacement:
Recommended every 1000-1500 miles or annually, depending on usage and specific plug type (refer to manual).
Clutch Inspection:
Regular inspection of primary and secondary clutches for wear, belt condition, and proper engagement is crucial.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene Glycol based antifreeze, specific concentration and type outlined in the manual.
Chaincase Oil:
Specific Yamalube or equivalent gear oil with appropriate viscosity (e.g., SAE 80W-90 or 75W-90) as per manual.
Brake Fluid:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 hydraulic brake fluid, depending on Yamaha's specification for this model.
Engine Wear:
Like many high-performance 2-strokes of this era, proper maintenance is key to longevity. Piston and ring wear can occur with high mileage or aggressive use without proper lubrication.
Clutch Belt Wear:
Drive belts are consumables and require regular inspection for fraying, glazing, or damage. Belt replacement is a common maintenance item.
Suspension Bushings:
Wear in suspension pivot bushings can lead to imprecise handling and premature component wear.
Electrical Connections:
Corrosion or looseness in electrical connectors can cause intermittent issues with lighting, ignition, or sensors.
Brand Reputation:
Yamaha is renowned for its high-quality, reliable engines and innovative engineering across various motorized products.
Srx Lineage:
The SRX line was Yamaha's flagship performance snowmobile, known for its speed and handling.
Production Years:
The SRX700 model series was produced for several years, with this manual covering the 2000-2002 iterations.
Manufacturing Location:
Yamaha snowmobiles are primarily manufactured in Japan and/or North America.
