You might want to try this site. It's a Yamaha SRV 540 message Fourm:

There are about 100 members, and the guys there know what they are doing. They know all about the SRV, and should be able to help you out.
Hope that helps.

I second that PZ 1
Your wasting your time...We talked about this in another thread, it all depends on what you have planned for the sled..If it's horsepower you are after, it would be easier and cheaper to mod the Phazer motor and get more horsepower then the 540..If you just want a toy to play with cool let me know how you make out .......

my story
yes it is possible. I did the same thing with a phazer a few years ago.I put a bored out srv 570 engine in a short track phazer frame. Then i put a 136x1.5'' track on it.I also put dual carbs and a dg racing pipe on. Then i tore the body apart and painted the whole thing black and put silver racing strips down the middle. while i was painting it i tried taking it for a ride with out the panels or anything . i had the brake cable not connected, my key switch was hanging some where and wires were just everywhere, then my throttle got stuck wide open going out of my yard . the only thing i thought to do was put my feet down and try to stop it, that didn't work.it was sort of bogging out going down the hill to the lake behind my house, then caught on when it hit the lake and then i nailed a 30ft jump flying 15 or so ft in the air.i jumped off half way through the air. the snowgo landed in front of me and all i remember is getting snowwashed with a rooster. It took about two laps around this lake the size of a football field rolling, jumping, and flipping, when it finally took a final flight into a patch of willows and got stuck upside down, and died out. When i ran over to it, the track and suspension was only holding on bythe front bolts, the handle bars were gone, front end smashed, and lets just say it was a goner.it was funny to because when i was chasing it around and it was taking jumps, it was leveling itself off. it took about 5 jumps by itself and didn't crash. It took me about a year or so working on it before this happened, and i was 16 at the time.so there's my thought about that, only thing is, is that you have to cut the front brace in the hood to fit the starter. just make sure you brace it up good, or your front will give out on you. it looked pretty good looking though.later

You would not gain a THING with a 81' SRV engine-it may acually have LESS bottom-end HP. The 80'-81' SRV's were rated at @ 56HP.-to race in the formula 56 series-and other racing venues.The 82'-91' SRV 535cc engines had different cylinders-marked"8R6" they made @ 62-65HP. That might be worth it ?? - but - my dad's 88' phazer(stock) would beat my 83' SRV almost every darn time in a drag race???-He is also @ 50lbs. lighter than me.....
Modify-or fix-or whatever you are doing to your existing 485cc phazer motor-more availability on parts -aftermarket stuff-maybe?? Than the 535cc fan coolers.
