To start the Yamaha SnoScoot SXR2NJ 2018 in cold weather, ensure the choke is fully engaged before starting. Turn the key to the 'ON' position and press the electric start button. Once the engine starts, gradually disengage the choke as the engine warms up.
The recommended maintenance schedule includes checking the oil and brake fluid levels before each ride, inspecting the drive belt every 500 miles, and performing a comprehensive inspection annually or every 2,000 miles, whichever comes first.
If the SnoScoot won’t start, check the battery for sufficient charge, ensure the fuel tank has gas, and inspect the spark plug for wear or damage. If these steps do not resolve the issue, consider consulting a professional technician.
For the Yamaha SnoScoot SXR2NJ 2018, use a high-quality 4-stroke engine oil with a viscosity rating of 10W-30 for optimal performance in most conditions. Always check the owner’s manual for specific recommendations.
To adjust the track tension, lift the rear of the snowmobile and use a track tension gauge to measure the sag. Adjust the tension by loosening the axle nut and turning the adjuster bolts evenly on both sides until the correct tension is achieved. Tighten the axle nut afterwards.
Overheating may be caused by low coolant levels or a clogged radiator. Check the coolant level and refill if necessary, and inspect the radiator for obstructions. If the problem persists, have the cooling system checked by a professional.
The spark plug should be inspected every 1,000 miles and replaced if it shows signs of wear or damage. It’s generally recommended to replace the spark plug annually to maintain optimal engine performance.
For off-season storage, clean the snowmobile thoroughly, change the oil, add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank, and remove the battery to store it in a cool, dry place. Cover the SnoScoot to protect it from dust and moisture.
To change the drive belt, remove the belt guard, then slip the old belt off the pulleys. Install the new belt by placing it over the secondary pulley first and then working it onto the primary pulley. Ensure the belt is seated properly and reinstall the belt guard.
Spongy brakes may indicate air in the brake lines or low brake fluid. Check the brake fluid level and top it up if necessary. Bleed the brake system to remove any air bubbles. If the problem persists, have the brake system inspected by a professional technician.
