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:

• Comfort

• 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.

• Two super bright quartz halogen headlight bulbs light up the way. The redundancy of the dual bulbs help ensure you will always have a light to get you home.

• Full-featured and easy to read, the digital gauge displays critical information in a glance including speed, fuel level, trip mileage, tach, elevation, temperatures and more. Changing functions is now made easy with the switch controls on the left handlebar. We even included a clock so you can watch the time fly.

• Handling

• The SRV front suspension geometry is aimed at managing spindle camber, resulting in minimized bump-steer and maximized cornering bite giving rider confidence in varying trail conditions. The A-arms are mounted at a 30-degree angle from the sled's centerline to efficiently dissipate impact force throughout the entire chassis. Likewise, the front shocks mount directly to the leading spar so that trail forces are routed to the strongest part of the chassis. Wide A-arm spacing minimizes flex and stress in the front suspension system, which means consistent and confident corner handling. Ski stance is a narrow 38 inches to aid in off-trail maneuvers in and around obstacles.

• The strong Hayes hydraulic 'Stealth' brake master-cylinder is equipped with a new notched 'Stealth' brake lever to provide great modulation for better feel and powerful stopping performance.

• 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.

• 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.

• Performance

• 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.
