Technical Depth:
Comprehensive factory-level repair and maintenance instructions
Engine Type:
500cc class, likely 2-stroke, twin-cylinder configuration based on typical Yamaha Phazer/Venture of this era
Bore X Stroke:
Refer to manual for exact specifications, but typically around 67mm x 70mm for a 500cc 2-stroke.
Displacement:
Approximately 490-499cc
Horsepower:
Specific figures vary by exact model year and tuning, but typically in the 50-65 HP range for this class.
Fuel Delivery:
Likely Carbureted (e.g., Mikuni VM series dual carburetors)
Carburetor Details:
Dual Mikuni VM34 or similar, requiring specific jetting and adjustment procedures detailed in the manual.
Lubrication System:
Oil Injection (Autolube) with separate oil reservoir, or Pre-mix fuel
Cooling System:
Air-cooled
Transmission Type:
CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) - Yamaha's 'CDI' or similar system
Optional Transmission:
N/A (CVT is standard)
Clutch System:
Primary and secondary drive clutches, belt drive system
Gear Reduction:
Integrated within the chaincase/driven clutch assembly, no user-serviceable gear ratios for the CVT.
Chassis Type:
Independent Front Suspension (IFS), Rear Suspension (likely a torsion spring or gas shock system)
Dry Weight:
Typically in the 400-450 lbs range for this model class.
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating:
Refer to specific model specifications; typically around 750-850 lbs for rider and cargo.
Initial Service:
Typically at 10-20 operating hours or 500 miles for break-in service (check manual for specifics)
Periodic Maintenance:
Annual or every 1,000-2,000 miles, with more frequent checks for track tension, lubrication, and ignition system.
Engine Oil:
Specific 2-stroke oil for oil injection systems (e.g., Yamalube 2S) or pre-mix ratio if applicable. Manual will specify.
Coolant:
Antifreeze/coolant mixture suitable for cold temperatures (e.g., ethylene glycol based).
Gearbox Oil:
Specific Yamaha gear oil or equivalent (e.g., SAE 80W-90 GL-5).
Grease Type:
Specific chassis and bearing grease recommended in the manual.
Common Wear Items:
• Drive Belt
• Spark Plugs
• Hyfax (Snowmobile Track Glides)
• Suspension Bushings
• Carburetor Tuning (due to altitude/conditions)
Potential Engine Issues:
Cylinder scoring, exhaust port blockage, crank seal leaks (common for 2-strokes if not maintained properly).
Yamaha Snowmobile Heritage:
Yamaha has a long-standing history in snowmobile manufacturing, known for reliable engines and innovative designs.
Phazer Lineage:
The Phazer line is Yamaha's long-standing entry-level to mid-range trail/mountain snowmobile, often characterized by a compact and agile platform.
Production Era:
Late 1990s to early 2000s, a period of refinement for Yamaha's 2-stroke engine technology.
