The Yamaha Transporter Lite is the affordable and manoeuvrable two-stroke utility snowmobile you can count on. Mountain skis, 146 Camso Cobra track with 1.6-inch lug, rugged rear rack and a compact fuel-injected, electric start 397cc two-stroke make the Transporter Lite as convenient as it is practical. The smaller size and lightweight of the Transporter Lite make it ideal for getting into tight places deep off the trail.
The long 12.5 inch travel rear suspension features a hinged, spring-loaded tail-end section that allows the rear idler wheels to travel upwards in an arc when going over bumpy trails making the sled feel and handle like a shorter track model. This articulating features also assists the sled when in reverse by helping guide the track up on top of the snow, not letting it dig in. Another unique feature is offered to lock the rail so it doesn't articulate for maximum traction when pulling a heavy load. A simple 'push pin' is used to engage the rail extension when needed to help keep the skis down and get all the traction possible out of the 146 inch track.
High & Low Handlebar and Thumb Warmers
Standard handlebar and throttle lever warmers are included.
PROTECTIVE WIND SCREEN
The 15.5-inch wind deflector is designed to protect the operator with its sculpted, turn-out shape.
The hi-tech 397cc engine has all the features you'd expect to find in a top of the line sled: Computerized ignition (ECM), 3-stage exhaust powervalve, battery-less fuel injection, electronic oil-injection and electric start to name a few. Tuned exhaust with EPTS (exhaust pipe temperature sensor) and a detonation sensor combine to ensure reliable performance. A lightweight, counter balance shaft takes care of unwanted vibration delivering smooth, wide range power.
The sensor monitors cylinder vibration to to signal ECM in the event of combustion detonation due to improper fuel or running conditions. Timing is adjusted to help prevent engine damage.
The new alloy chassis was designed to keep the weight down using minimal parts with no compromise to its durability or function.
The CVTech Trail Bloc drive clutch and Invance driven clutch provides reliable, low temperature operation with wide ratio performance. The small diamter main bearing allows the belt to sit lower in the primary, for a super low first gear. This also creates a wider ratio transmission through the secondary pulley, to efficiently pull every pony out of the compact engine.
A compact digital guage gives the rider speed, rpm, fuel level, hours and distance at a glance. There are also light indicators to warn against any oil or engine temperature issues.

This articulating features also assists the sled when in reverse by helping guide the track up on top of the snow, not letting it dig in.
The proven and reliable deep-lug Camso track provides excellent bite in both hard-pack and powder conditions. It 146x15 inch tread is the perfect match to the light-weight chassis whether pulling heavy loads or breaking a fresh trail.
PERFORMANCE
The power valve system tunes the exhaust port opening based on rpm to ensure maximum torque and fuel efficiency across the power band.
Electronic fuel injection provides efficient fuel delivery to 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 strong Hayes hydraulic 'Stealth' brake master-cylinder is equipped with a composite Stealth brake lever to provide great modulation for better feel and powerful stopping performance.
The compact power plant weighs in under 50 lbs packing a mighty punch with its class leading, HP/Weight ratio.
With alloy bulk-head and tunnel heat exchangers, the engine stays cool when things heat up.
HANDLING
The lightweight Yamaha Mountain ski delivers everything you want in a deep snow ski. Its 7 inch 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 single keel design deliver light steering effort yet confident and predictable handling on hard pack and in fresh fluff.
The 4.5 inch riser block positions the hooked end bars with mountain strap within easy reach whether seated or standing.
Derived from the sleek SRV-M Front Suspension, this lightweight design is ultra compact to reduce unwanted spindle and suspension component drag in deep snow. The 38 inch stance allows for great maneuverability in tight terrain. The lightweight, forged aluminum spindles join the widely spaced upper and lower control arms producing a large caster angle for tight turning and ease of steering. .
This unique features allows for the rear rail assembly to be locked for maximum, on-trail track length when additional traction is required.
Almost a thing of the past. Having a modern snowmobile with the weight of a 30 year old fan-cooled sled opens the door for a whole new era in snowmobiling function and fun.
COMFORT
A simple push of a button causes the engine to re-start in reverse. The audible 'back-up' beeper indicates the reverse system is engaged and continues to beep until the button is pushed again to restart the engine in its forward direction. A simple. lightweight and efficient way to back out of a tight situation.
Standard adjustable handlebar and throttle lever warmers are included.
The large 11.7 usg / 44L fuel capacity coupled with the frugal demand of the mid-sized, EFI engine, means extended operating range for the Transporter.
The rear rack provides a stable platform to facilitate a wide range storage requirements.
Turn key electric starter combined with electronic fuel injection provides quick and reliable ignition in all conditions.
The tall 15.5 inch wind deflector is designed to protect the operator with its sculpted, turn-out, shape
The seat design offers easy transition from seated to standing. Side to side movement is also made easier with its tapered sides to aid in manouverability both on and off-trail. And its easy to add the optional passenger seat for two-up versatility.
