LOCTITE"
After installing fasteners that have LOCTITEmap-
plied, wait 24 hours before using the machine.
This will give the LOCTITEmtime to properly dry.

THROlTLE OVERRIDE SYSTEM (T.O.R.S.)
CHECK
When checking T.O.R.S.:

Be sure the parking brake is applied.
Be sure the throttle lever moves smoothly.
Do not run the engine up t o clutch engagement
r/min. Otherwise, the machine could start mov-
ing forward unexpectedly, which could cause
an accident.
1. Start the engine.
2. Hold the pivot point of the throttle lever away

from the throttle switch @.
3. Press @ the throttle lever gradually.
The water temperature warning light
(VXGOOXTR/SX) or diagnosis indicator light
(MMGOOP) should turn on and off and the
engine should run between 2,800 and 3,000 r/
min.
If the engine does not run between 2,800 and

3,000 r/min, stop the engine by turning the main
switch t o the "OFF" position and check the elec-
trical system.
DRIVE V-BELT
POWER TRAIN
DRIVE V-BELT
When installing the n e w V-belt, make sure that it

is positioned within the specified distances @
from the edge of the secondary sheave.
If not, the clutch engagement speed w i l l be
changed. The machine may move unexpectedly
when the engine is started.
Adjust the V-belt position b y removing or adding
a spacer @ on each adjusting bolt.
For this adjustment, consult a Yamaha dealer or
another qualified mechanic.
As the V-belt wears, adjustment may be neces-

sary. To ensure proper clutch performance, the
1 V-belt position should be adjusted b y adding a
spacer on each adjusting bolt when the V-belt
position reaches below the edge.
For this adjustment, consult a Yamaha dealer or
another qualified mechanic.

Oil level inspection
The engine and muffler will be very hot after the

engine has been run. Avoid touching the engine
and muffler while they are still hot with any part
of your body or clothing during inspection or
repair.
1. Place the machine on a level surface.

2. Check:
Oil level
3. Remove:
Muffler spring
Checking steps:
Remove the dipstick @ and wipe it off with a
clean rag.
Reinstall the dipstick.
There is a magnet attached t o the end of the

dipstick. It is used t o remove any metal par-
ticles that may accumulate i n the drive chain
housing. When removing the dipstick be sure
to:
Pull it out slowly and gently so the metal
particles do not fall off the magnet back into
the drive chain housing.
Wipe off the magnet before reinserting the
dipstick into the drive chain housing.
Remove the dipstick and check that the oil is

between the upper and lower levels. If not,
add oil to the upper level.
@ Upper level
@ Lower level
For models without a reverse transmission.
For models with a reverse transmission.

The clutch m a y require tuning depending upon
the area of operation and desired handling char-
acteristics. The clutch can be tuned by changing
engagement and shifting speed. Clutch engage-
ment speed is defined as the engine speed where
the machine first begins t o move f r o m a complete
stop.
Shifting speed is when the machine has been
started at full-throttle from a dead stop and has
- -
travelled 200 300m (650 1,000 ft).
Normally, when a machine reachesshifting speed,
the vehicle speed increases but the engine speed
remains nearly constant. Under unfavorable con-
ditions (wet snow, icy snow, hills, o r rough ter-
rain), however, engine speed m a y decrease after
the shifting speed has been reached.

GEAR SELECTION
The reduction ratio of the driven gear to the drive
gear must be set according to the snow condi-
tions. If there are many rough surfaces or
unfavorable snow conditions, the driveldriven
gear ratio should be increased. If the surfaces are
fairly smooth or better snow conditions exist,
decrease the ratio.
Gear ratio chart

The following drive and driven gears and chains
are available as options. The figures i n the upper
lines represent the driveldriven gear ratios, while
the number on the following line, followed by an
"L", designates the number of chain links.
NOTE:
Do not set the gearing to any of the indicated (x)
settings.

HANDLING NOTES
VX700XTC/XTCD/XTCP/SXS
This shock absorber contains highly compressed

nitrogen gas. Before handling the shock absorber
read and make sure that you understand the
following information. The manufacturer cannot
be held responsible for property damage or per-
sonal injury that may result from improper han-
dling.
Do not tamper or attempt t o open the gas
chamber.
Do not subject the shock absorber to an open
flame or any other source of high heat. This
may cause the unit t o explode due t o excessive
gas pressure.
Do not deform or damage the gas chamber in
any way. Gas chamber damage will result in
poor damping performance.
