|
|
Maintenance
|
|
Service Intervals
|
|
Oil Change:
|
Typically recommended every 100-150 hours or annually, refer to manual for precise intervals.
|
|
Clutch Inspection:
|
Regular inspection of clutch sheaves for wear, damage, and proper alignment. Belt inspection for fraying or delamination is critical.
|
|
Fluid Specifications
|
|
Engine Oil Type:
|
Yamalube 4 (or equivalent high-quality synthetic 4-stroke motorcycle/snowmobile oil, e.g., 10W-40 or 20W-40, check manual for specific viscosity and API rating).
|
|
Coolant Type:
|
Yamaha-specific or equivalent permanent type antifreeze/coolant (typically a 50/50 mix of ethylene glycol and distilled water).
|
|
Chaincase Oil:
|
Yamalube Gear Oil (or equivalent SAE 80 hypoid gear oil), check manual for specific grade and capacity.
|
|
Brake Fluid Type:
|
DOT 3 or DOT 4 hydraulic brake fluid, check manual for exact specification.
|
|
Known Issues
|
|
Common Trouble Areas:
|
While generally reliable, potential issues could involve CVT belt wear, fuel system maintenance (injectors/pump), and electrical connectors. The manual provides detailed troubleshooting.
|
|
Common Maintenance Tasks:
|
Regular cleaning of drive and driven clutch, track lubrication, and suspension component greasing are essential for longevity.
