I just bought a 99 600 triple and had a question about it. The main one is that it has the heated carbs. I was told you turn them off when its to hot and on when its cold. Whats the temp that would be considered cold to turn them on? Will u cause any damage by running them on all the time? thank u and as far as i can see pretty sweet sight u got going here.
Mark,
It will not hurt a thing to run them on all the time, except in warm whether it may seem to run a little sluggish. I left mine off 90% of the time, only turning them on when the temps dipped into the single digits.
my 2 cents - Oh and welcome to the best Yamaha site on the net!!!

I found that it was best on when very cold and especially when there is a lot of snow dust or playing in the powder.

Noob question. How do you turn them off? Did Yamaha ever documented this? Seems odd they would ad this function when it is only better when temp dips below -20C.

@PhatboyC,
one way is off one way is on(inline with the hose)

It is clearly stated in every owners manual for sleds that utilize it, It is intended to help eliminate carb freeze up in extreme cold temps. It simply opens a valve and allow warm antifreeze to flow threw passages in the carb bodies to prevent freezeup.

when you ride in northern ontario with other sleds and there is alot of snow dust....you need them or the carbs will freeze.

maybe he did not get the manual with his purchase?
My venture did not come with one.
Granted he can simply go to yamaha and get a pdf of the manual for free.

Good point, but he asked is Yamaha ever documented it. I guess maybe I came off a little pointed, sorry guys - wasnt intended.

It's all good!
see, I myself have yet to figure out on my venture what the "heater" key position does. If i am thinking right, that does control the heated carbs, and not the hand warmers like I thought before I found the 98 manual for a vt600.
I am getting stoked for sled season!

What year Venture is it? If I remember right I think your keyswitch is just the grip heaters, you should also have a high/low switch on your dash as well. Carb heaters on certain applicable models are manualy toggled either on the hose in front of the airbix (SX, SXR etc) or on the end of the PTO side water rail (SRX, Viper)horkn said:
Mark I hope we answered all your questions
Thanks Damen for the forgiveness LOL

Mike is right, key is hot grips and manual toggle lever for the heated carbs.

Hmm, it is a 97 venture 600.
and since I see nothing about heated carbs in the book, i do not believe it has that feature.
so, the switch as part of the igniton switch IS for the handgrips. On the clutch side of the cowling there is the rheostat for the amount of heat the grips get.
oh yeah, I admit that I AM a post whore..
