PREPARATION FOR REMOVAL AND DISASSEMBLY

1. Remove all dirt, mud, dust, and foreign material before removal and

disassembly.
While cleaning, take care to protect the electrical parts, such as relays,
switches, motor, resistors, controllers, etc., from high pressure water
splashes.

2. Use proper tools and cleaning equipment. 

Refer to “SPECIAL TOOLS”.

3. When disassembling the snowmobile, keep mated parts together. This

includes gears, cylinders, pistons, and other parts that have been
“mated” through normal wear. Mated parts must be reused or replaced
as an assembly.

4. During disassembly of the snowmobile, clean all parts and place them

in trays in the order of disassembly. This will speed up assembly time
and help ensure that all parts are reinstalled correctly.

5. Keep all parts away from any source of fire.

6. Be sure to keep to the tightening torque specifications. When tighten-

ing bolts, nuts, and screws, start with those that have larger diameters,
and proceed from the inside to the outside in a crisscross pattern.

ALL REPLACEMENT PARTS

We recommend using genuine Yamaha parts for all replacements. Use oil
and grease recommended by Yamaha for assembly and adjustments.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

GASKETS, OIL SEALS, AND O-RINGS

1. All gaskets, seals, and O-rings should be replaced when an engine is

overhauled. All gasket surfaces, oil seal lips, and O-rings must be
cleaned.

2. Properly oil all mating parts and bearings during reassembly. Apply

grease to the oil seal lips.

LOCK WASHERS/PLATES AND COTTER PINS

All lock washers/plates 1 and cotter pins must be replaced if they are
removed. Lock tab(s) should be bent along the bolt or nut flat(s) after the
bolt or nut has been properly tightened.

BEARINGS AND OIL SEALS

Install the bearings 1 and oil seals 2 with their manufacturer marks or
numbers facing outwards. (In other words, the stamped letters must be on
the side exposed to view.) When installing oil seals, apply a light coating
of low temperature lithium-soap-based grease to the seal lips. Oil the
bearings liberally when installing.

CAUTION:

Do not use compressed air to spin the bearings dry. This causes
damage to the surface of the bearings.

CIRCLIPS

All circlips should be inspected carefully before reassembly. Always
replace piston pin clips after one use. Replace misshapen circlips. When
installing a circlip 1, make sure that the sharp edged corner 2 is posi-
tioned opposite to the thrust 3 it receives. See the sectional view.

LOCTITE

®

After installing fasteners that have LOCTITE

®

 applied, wait 24 hours

before using the snowmobile. This will give the LOCTITE

®

  time  to  dry

properly.
