2024 Yamaha Transporter 800

The needs of snowmobilers who use their machines as a way of life are vastly different than those who seek the thrill and adventure of recreational riding. Yamaha has a deep understanding of what it takes to get the job done in the extremes of winter. The simple design and dependability of the technically advanced Transporter 800 articulated long track fill these needs. At its heart is a two-stroke, 794cc engine with back-up recoil starting. Purposeful attributes like a rugged storage rack, sturdy tow hitch, long-range fuel capacity and functional protection from the elements are all provided to fit those unique needs.

Features may include:

• The twin-cylinder, 794cc, two-stroke engine features ECM controlled, batteryless fuel injection with electronic oil injection. Three-stage auxiliary exhaust port power valves control the gas flow into a tuned pipe with stainless exhaust collector and silencer. An exhaust pipe temperature sensor (EPTS) monitors the system. Spark ignition is generated through a digital CDI with knock control sensor and cooling achieved through a liquid heat exchanger system. Electric start is standard.

• The lightweight CVT drive clutch employs a roller bearing equipped main shaft that works to keep belt tension consistent with no need to manually adjust for wear. The design delivers and extra low ratio engagement point to reduce belt slip and wear at take off with no compromise in the top ratio when the system is shifted out. This low first gear is especially beneficial when towing or hauling a heavy load.

• Electronic fuel injection provides efficient fuel delivery at two different injection points in the cylinder based on engine RPM for maximum torque and response. The computerized fuel injection ensures reliable cold-weather starting, maximum fuel range with low exhaust gas emissions.

• The lightweight Yamaha Mountain Ski delivers everything you want in a deep snow ski. Its wide footprint enhances flotation and actively lifts the sled’s nose up on plane in deep powder. Traction lugs on the top of the ski give you a sure foothold when the situation gets really gnarly. The wide and deep keel design deliver light steering effort, yet confident and predictable handling on hard pack and in fresh fluff.

• A dedicated, tall steering post delivers optimum ergonomics for standup riding. The 6.5-inch riser with broad, molded, curved-end mountain bar and incorporated mountain strap delivers ample leverage for off-trail riding. The system is adjustable to dial in sweep and reach to help keep you in the sweet spot.

• Lightweight with a tall and narrow profile, the tall mountain seat is both shorter and more tapered towards the front than our standard trail seat. This allows for easier rider transitions from side-to-side, and improved stand-up ergonomics.

• Escape the wind and winter’s chill with a sculpted, functional windshield. A small lip at the top deflects wind and snow up and over the rider at speed, while flared edges provided added protection and warmth for your hands.
