PRINCIPALES CARACTÉRISTIQUES
Genesis 998 turbocharged engine
The Genesis 998T is powered by a supercharged Genesis three-cylinder engine. Already known for its hellish power from takeoff to top speed, this engine inherits a factory-installed turbo that allows it to set new standards in performance, while maintaining the quality, durability and reliability that make Yamaha so successful.
High performance YSRC clutch
The YSRC primary clutch and secondary roller pulley are specially designed to provide long-lasting operation and cooling. They transfer all of the Genesis Turbo’s insane torque to the track while minimizing belt wear. The primary pulley clutches aggressively to make full use of the power, while the secondary pulley provides additional ratio with its oversized plates, so you can keep accelerating when your rivals are running out of breath.
FOX ZERO QS3 shock absorbers
The limited edition L-TX gets premium FOX QS3 shocks with KASHIMA coating. The front suspension inherits two QS3R spring shocks with separate reservoirs and separate compression and rebound adjusters. The QS3 center shock has adjustable compression, while the QS3R rear shock has adjustable compression and rebound, plus a separate reservoir. These are the best FOX shocks ever, period.
Dual Shock SR 137 rear suspension
This suspension is the result of years of development (not without pain!) in the world of snocross and cross-country championships. This long-travel suspension offers a high level of comfort by flying over bumps with great flotation and traction thanks to its extended design. And how about Fox’s adjustable QS3 shocks! A mated type, it uses a so-called sliding front arm mount. With just over an inch of travel thanks to the exclusive U-slot design in the front arms, the Dual Shock SR suspension keeps the track firmly planted on the ground for maximum bite, both at full throttle and under hard braking.
Exclusive 50th Anniversary Style
The beautiful red and white colors are accented by a blackened windshield and sparkling graphics. This limited edition model will become a true collector’s item before long.

Adjustable ski spacing (101.6 cm [40 in])
The adjustable gap (40″ median gap) provides a great blend of on-trail stability, turnability and off-trail maneuverability, while making transitions easier. The rubber shocks on the skis are asymmetrical. A portion of these shocks act as a wedge for the skis. This allows the rider to adjust the spacing of the skis by simply replacing the left shock absorber with the right one, and vice versa.
Power Claw track with 2.25″ lugs
The 2.25″ bars move a lot of snow, while the flotation they provide is simply phenomenal. This length is ideal for both eastern Canada and the alpine regions, thanks to its flotation and great maneuverability.

Engine braking control
The “engine braking” effect associated with four-stroke engines when you stop accelerating has an impact on handling and riding pleasure. Yamaha has developed a special system that uses an idle speed control valve, electronic control module, throttle body movement and engine speed to reduce negative intake pressure during deceleration.
