2022 Yamaha Transporter 800. People who use their snowmobiles to earn a living are very different from those who thrive on the thrill and adventure of recreational riding. Yamaha consciously knows what it takes to get the job done right in extreme winter conditions. The simple design and reliability of the 2022 Yamaha Transporter 800’s long, high-tech articulated track meet those needs. At its heart beats a reliable 794cc two-stroke engine with a recoil starter that doubles as an auxiliary starter. Must-haves like a rugged rack, a sturdy tow hitch, a long-range fuel tank and real protection from the elements all come standard to make the days of hard-working winter folk more enjoyable.
2022 Yamaha Transporter 800 – HIGHLIGHTS
- The second-generation 794cc 2-stroke twin-cylinder engine features a battery-free, ECM-controlled fuel injection system and an electronic oil injection system. Auxiliary boost valves move in three stages to control the flow of fuel into the tuned exhaust pipe with a stainless steel exhaust manifold and muffler. The temperature sensor in the exhaust pipe monitors the system. Spark ignition is via a digital CDI system with detonation sensor; cooling is via a liquid heat exchanger. An electric starter is standard.
- The long-travel rear suspension uses a spring-loaded, articulated rear section that allows the rear support wheels to move upward in an arc. This allows the rear support wheels to move upward in an arc.
2022 Yamaha Transporter 800 – PERFORMANCE
- The drive pulley of the TVC transmission utilizes a roller bearing-equipped input shaft; this drive pulley ensures that uniform tension is maintained on the belt, without requiring manual adjustment to counteract wear. This design provides a very low ratio engagement point, which helps reduce belt slippage and wear initially, without compromising the higher ratio when the system is disengaged. This low first gear is especially beneficial when towing heavy loads.
- Electronic fuel injection delivers fuel very efficiently at two injection points in the cylinder, depending on engine speed, maximizing torque and throttle response. Computer-controlled fuel injection provides reliable cold-weather starts, maximizes range and delivers low exhaust emissions.
- The sensor monitors cylinder vibration and communicates to the ECM if there is combustion accompanied by detonation caused by improper fuel metering or poor running conditions. In such cases, the ECM adjusts the ignition timing to prevent engine damage.
- To restart the engine and shift into reverse, simply push a button. The back-up alarm sounds once you put the car in reverse, and the warning tone continues to sound until you press the button again to turn off the ignition and restart in forward gear. It’s a simple, lightweight and effective way to get you out of a tight spot.
- The Transporter 800 is equipped with an oversized 52-litre fuel tank. This capacity, combined with the fuel-efficient fuel injection engine, allows you to cover a lot of miles between fill-ups.
- The sturdy tubular rack holds the gas cans and equipment needed to get through the day’s tasks. An additional storage bag is located under the seat. Finally, a sturdy articulated tow hitch is included for towing various items.
MANIABILITY
- Yamaha’s lightweight mountain skis deliver everything you need to waltz through deep snow. Their large footprint helps increase lift and actively lifts the front section of the snowmobile into deep powder. Traction bars on the top of the skis help keep your feet firmly planted when the ride gets really rough. Their wide, deep keel reduces the effort required at the handlebars, but it also delivers predictable handling that inspires confidence-in both hardpack and freshly fallen snow.
- The long, specialized steering column is ergonomically ideal for standing up and running. The 6.5-inch lift flange combines with the wide, molded handlebars with curved tips for mountain riding and the integrated climbing strap to give you the leverage you need for off-road fun. The steering can be adjusted to fine-tune the steering head and attack angles so you can maintain your ideal riding position.
- The heavy-duty Hayes Stealth hydraulic brake master cylinder is paired with a new Stealth notched brake lever for excellent modulation, feel and braking power.
- The SRV front suspension geometry is designed to manage stub axle camber to minimize camber variation, maximize cornering bite and inspire rider confidence in all trail conditions. The delta arms are mounted at a 30° angle to the centerline of the snowmobile to effectively distribute the impact throughout the frame. Similarly, the front shocks are mounted directly on the head rail so that trail forces are directed to the strongest section of the frame. A wide delta arm gap minimizes front suspension deflection and also stress on the front suspension, resulting in smooth, confident cornering. The narrow ski spread of only 38 inches is great for maneuvering around trail obstacles.
2022 Yamaha Transporter 800 – COMFORT
- The tall, narrow, lightweight mountain seat is shorter and more tapered in the front than our standard trail seat. It makes it easier for the rider to move sideways and improves the ergonomics of stand-up riding.
- Banish the wind and winter chill with a sculpted, functional windshield. A small lip at the top deflects wind and snow up and over the snowmobiler at high speeds, while the flared edges provide added protection and warmth to the rider’s hands.
- Two bright quartz-halogen bulbs illuminate your path brilliantly. Dual bulb redundancy means your path is always lit when you return.
- Myriad easy-to-read digital indicators display a variety of critical information. Your speed, fuel level, distance traveled, tachometer readings, altitude, temperatures and more are just a glance away. Switching functions is now a breeze using the controls on the left handle. There’s even a clock so you can extend the fun to the last minute!
