When did the Yamaha Phazer snowmobile come out?
The Phazer concept established with the original 2007 introductory models hasn’t really changed as we enter the 2009 snow season. Yamaha designed the Phazer to be the ‘pure sports’ model sled similar to its YZ motorcycles. The sled is narrow with styling that sets it apart from the crowd.
What’s the price of a 2009 Yamaha Phazer?
Here’s the deal, the 2009 Yamaha Phazer RTX provides quite a bang for its US$7,699 price tag. It has a happy revving 4-stroke twin with state of the art electronic fuel injection. Fox brand Float Shocks are standard to control 9.3-inches of front travel.
What kind of engine does a Yamaha snowmobile have?

What kind of lubricant do you use on a Yamaha snowmobile?
I agree that it is somewhat confusing that the owner’s manual tells you to use 0W-30 weight oil, but the dealer has some 0W-40 on the shelf. I checked with Yamaha’s lubricant specialist on this one to be very certain, and he confirmed that the full-synthetic 0W-40 can indeed be used in any of Yamaha’s four-stroke snowmobiles.
How often do you change the oil on a Yamaha Phazer?
That whole process is for changing the filter along with the oil. According to Yamaha, the filter only needs to be changed every 12,000 miles after the first 500 miles of break in. I won’t wait that long, but I’ll replace it every other season. Changing just the oil is very simple, 15 minute job.

Which is the best Yamaha Phazer to buy?
We readily admit that the 2009 version of the rough trail-oriented Phazer RTX is the best handling version to date. The Fox Float shocks add ample damping help. Plus there seems to be some reworking of the sway bar to get the sled to transition better from side-to-side.
What to do if your Phazer won’t start?
OR HERES AND IDEA….just use the pull start! Stop and think, either it’s the battery that is too weak, which will likely still run the fuel pump, but doesn’t have enough cranking amps to turn it over. Or the solenoid isn’t engaging, tapping on it should help.
