Expertise Level:
Suitable for mechanics of all skill levels, from DIY enthusiasts to professional technicians.
Content:
Includes appendices for additional technical data, specifications, or supplementary information.
Engine Type:
Likely a 565cc or similar displacement two-stroke, parallel-twin cylinder engine, common for this era of Yamaha snowmobiles.
Power Output:
Specific horsepower and torque figures would be detailed within the manual, typically in the 50-60 HP range for this displacement class.
Carburetion:
Twin Mikuni VM series carburetors (e.g., VM34 or VM36) are highly probable, requiring detailed specifications for jetting, float levels, and synchronization.
Cooling Method:
Forced air-cooled, potentially with a fan assist, as indicated by the 'Cooling System' coverage.
Ignition System:
CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) system is standard for this type of snowmobile engine, with details on timing and components.
Oil Delivery:
Autolube (oil injection) system is expected, with specific oil types and pump adjustment procedures covered.
Clutch System:
CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) system, comprising a primary (drive) clutch and a secondary (driven) clutch. Manual covers belt inspection, replacement, spring tensions, and roller weights.
Gearbox:
Chaincase with forward, neutral, and reverse gears. Manual will detail oil type, capacity, and chain adjustment.
Instrumentation:
Basic instrumentation would include speedometer, odometer, engine temperature light, and possibly an oil indicator. Manual covers gauge functionality and diagnostics.
Features:
No modern driver assistance systems expected. Focus is on mechanical and electrical systems.
Features:
No electronic connectivity features like Bluetooth or GPS. Focus is on mechanical operation.
Oil Change Chaincase:
Typically every 1,000-2,000 miles or annually. Manual will specify exact interval and fluid type.
Spark Plug Replacement:
Recommended every 1,000-2,000 miles or as per manufacturer's recommendation. Manual will list correct spark plug part numbers (e.g., NGK BR9ES or similar).
Drive Belt Inspection:
Inspect for wear, fraying, and proper tension at frequent intervals, often every 500 miles or annually. Replacement recommended based on wear limits outlined in the manual.
Chaincase Oil:
Yamaha specifically recommends their own brand of gear oil or an equivalent SAE 80 or SAE 75W-90 GL-4 hypoid gear oil. Capacity likely around 0.3-0.5 liters.
Coolant:
If liquid-cooled (which this model is not, based on 'Cooling System' coverage typically implying air cooling), it would be a 50/50 mix of ethylene glycol antifreeze and distilled water.
Drive Belt Failure:
Common to many CVT snowmobiles, belts can break if worn or if the drive system is misaligned or overloaded. Manual will cover belt inspection and clutch alignment.
Carburetor Fouling:
Can occur due to poor fuel quality or infrequent use, leading to hard starting or poor running. Manual details cleaning and adjustment procedures.
Recoil Starter Issues:
The pull-start mechanism can sometimes fail to retract or engage properly. The manual will provide procedures for its inspection and repair.
Yamaha Powersports:
Yamaha has a long and respected history in powersports, particularly with snowmobiles, known for their reliable engines and innovative designs.
Ex570 Positioning:
The EX series was generally positioned as a versatile trail riding and utility snowmobile, balancing performance with ease of use. The EX570 likely represents a mid-range offering.
Approximate Era:
Models like the EX570 were commonly produced in the late 1990s to early 2000s, though specific years covered by the manual would need verification.
