Looking for a little help here….I have a ’97 VMax 600 XT I am trying to find an oil pump for. The parts fiche says it is part number 8AB-13100-03-00 or -01-00, but the only replacements I can find are part numbers 8CR-13100-01011 and 8CA-13100-01-00. Can anyone tell me if either of these two pumps will work for me??? Thanks in advance!!!!

keep in mind that yamaha had huge issues with the 97 600 (and some 500) twin oil pumps. the original is the old outdated one that failed full bore making the sled devour oil and run like crap at times.
I just posted the updated part numbers on a post of mine very recently. Let me find those numbers.
That said, the part number that the yamaha fiche now says is the updated part number, and I wouldn't pay anything for the old part that was replaced.
edit, here is my old post...
Well, that is a pump for a 600cc, and not the 500, but unfortunately thye 97 and 98 600 oil pump is an 8CR pump. the one you want, from a 98 is
8CR-13100-01-00
The one now listed for a 97 600 is 8CR-13100-01-00 (replaces 8CR-13100-00-00) So you definitely don't want the 8CR-13100-00-00. The old version was the faulty one that Yamaha replaced under warranty on many 97's, and the rest of them out there like mine went out of warranty and I had to buy one last year after I bought the sled.
So, Is that the new updated part? or is it the old bad design that if it hasn't failed yet (probably) then it will soon? if it honestly is froma 98 then it will work, provided it is not bad. To be honest in all my years of sledding with oil injected sleds, I have never had an oil pump go out on any brand of sled except for this 97 venture 600 i have. That tells me it probably is fine.
My sled with the updated part on it is not where I am, so I cannot look at the old part (still have it) or the new one on the sled.
