Yamaha Venture Multi Purpose is a high-performance snowmobile from a Japanese manufacturer, endowed with the advanced achievements of the famous brand, known for the production of sports motorcycle equipment, including snowmobiles. Yamaha is a world-famous company with the largest representative offices in Europe, Scandinavia, as well as on the Russian market, in Finland. It is not surprising that Yamaha products are in greatest demand in countries with harsh climatic conditions. That is why the Ventura Multi Purpos model is very popular, for example, in the northern regions of Russia. In fact, the model in question is just part of an extensive lineup that includes only the most powerful and versatile products in Yamaha history.
The Yamaha Ventura Multi Purpos snowmobile occupies a leading position in the global market. To maintain steady demand, Japanese engineers are constantly upgrading the snowmobile. For example, a 2021 model year car is now being produced with significant modifications that can also be ordered for cars from earlier years of production.
Let's note the comfortable two-seater seating that the Yamaha Ventura Multi Purpos snowmobile is equipped with. The seat is equipped with backrests for the driver and passenger, while the passenger part of the seat can be quickly removed to provide free space for placing cargo containers, which are placed on a special luggage rack (the shelf is mounted in place of the passenger seat). Thanks to this, the model is very practical and meets the needs of hunters, fishermen and long-distance enthusiasts. We also pay attention to the comfortable windshield, increased in all respects, especially in height. This is necessary in order to provide protection from the oncoming flow of wind and snow. In addition, an ergonomic toggle switch is of no small importance, with which you can switch the heating of your fingers - for this there are nine heating modes. Thanks to this, the snowmobile is better suited for use in frosty climatic zones. Starting the snowmobile is easy and does not cause difficulties - all you need to do is turn the key in the ignition system. You can use a manual or electric starter, which is included in the basic package. There is a reverse function - to do this, just press the corresponding button on the control panel. In general, the organization of the workspace from an ergonomic point of view is performed at a decent level, and is not inferior to the closest famous models in this price category. All controls, levers and switches, are located in such a way that you don’t need to reach for them, because they are at hand. Let's also pay attention to the side steps located on both sides of the snowmobile. They are provided for the driver and passenger. Their special feature is the anti-slip surface, which prevents the driver and passenger’s feet from slipping. This is very important from a safety point of view, for example when driving fast.

As for the chassis, the front suspension of the Yamaha Ventura Multi Purpos snowmobile is represented by classic A-shaped elongated arms, which are borrowed from the Phazer sports family. This arrangement has proven itself to be very durable and hardy, which has successfully proven itself in difficult competitive disciplines. To control the smooth operation of the suspension, it was supplemented with lightweight gas-filled shock absorbers with increased pressure. The shock absorbers are made of aluminum, which significantly increases strength and reduces the overall weight of the snowmobile, and thereby has a beneficial effect on maneuverability and controllability. The front suspension travel is 206 mm. As for the front skis, they are an ingenious customizable split keel design.
A considerable load falls on the rear suspension. In this regard, it had to be lengthened in order to be able to install massive tracks 16 by 144. A shock absorber of a certain size was also selected, allowing the track travel to be extended by 312 mm. According to the results of tests conducted with the participation of factory testers, as well as journalists and the users themselves, it can be concluded that the Yamaha Ventura Multi Purpos snowmobile with such a suspension performed excellently during long and many-kilometer tests on a well-worn road, as well as in deep snow.
What is a snowmobile for?
just such a vehicle .
A snowmobile allows you to quickly and comfortably move through the snow from one point to another, while also carrying a passenger or some kind of cargo. But do not forget that you must have a license to drive a snowmobile.
This is very convenient, which contributes to the significant spread of such equipment in snowy areas.
Snowmobile
The design of the snowmobile itself is hardly original in any way. It is in many ways similar to a motorcycle, the only thing is that instead of wheels there are skis and tracks.
Such a device allows you to operate the unit in snowy areas as conveniently as possible, and to move as quickly as possible on such an inconvenient surface.

Yamaha Ventura rating
This model is a competitor to the popular SkyDu snowmobiles, which are rightfully leaders in this category of vehicles. When considering the ACE900 Expedition touring model, it can be noted that the 2015 Ventura has a smaller, but not as powerful 4-stroke power unit, which is highly reliable. This engine has the following features: slow start, high performance at low speeds, low noise level. The motor is mounted on utility, sports and touring Phazer RTX models.
You won’t have to expect much power from such a device, but Ventura can accelerate a heavy snowmobile with 2 people and a heavy load to normal speeds. The Ventura has a center of gravity that is balanced by its low engine position. This feature gives the motor stability when maneuvering.
The Camoplast Ripsaw's 114-inch track is driven by a fuel-injected 2-cylinder engine. The height of the ridges is 32 mm, and the width of the GUS is 406. These dimensions provide good maneuverability and a high degree of convenience.
Engine
The machine is equipped with a proven two-cylinder engine of the Genesis family. This four-stroke engine has proven to be more economical than the unreliable two-stroke power plants familiar from more budget models. The engine displacement reaches 0.5 liters. The developers tried to make the motor as compact and light as possible using lightweight aluminum materials. Thus, Japanese engineers have thoroughly modified the exhaust system, as well as a liquid-type cooling system, which successfully prevents overheating of the main components of the internal combustion engine. The fuel system is injection, which is a worthy analogue of the outdated carburetor system. The two-cylinder unit is equipped with a proprietary Digital TCI ignition system. The engine with a two-valve exhaust system is combined with a variator, which is created in the image of a CVT automobile gearbox. The peculiarity of such a gearbox is smooth and almost imperceptible gear shifting with the full potential of the internal combustion engine and its torque.
Japanese manufacturer
In order to purchase the highest quality snowmobile, you need to decide on the manufacturer. It’s definitely worth considering the Japanese one, which has been producing various equipment for a long time.
It also produces snowmobiles, which allows anyone who wants to purchase truly high-quality, productive and easy-to-use equipment. Prominent representatives of this technology are the Japanese chainsaw Echo and the Japanese walk-behind tractor Cayman.
The company produces a variety of models, so the buyer will definitely have a wide choice.
The manufacturer always introduces the latest achievements into its machines, which allows it to produce units that meet all modern requirements.
Yamaha's undoubted trump card is the ease of service, because this company is represented almost all over the world, which means finding parts or repair service will not be a problem. You can find out all the necessary information on the official website of the company www.yamaha-motor.ru.
Reviews
- Vasily, Novosibirsk. The powerful snowmobile I dreamed of. And finally got it together. The car looks decent for its characteristics, as well as compared to its competitors. In general, I tried many options - I took part in test drives, and as a result I made an informed choice. Every car has its pros and cons, but handling was important to me. The Yamaha Ventura Multi Purpos model seemed closer and more familiar, I quickly got used to it, and I didn’t even have to get used to it much. The suspension is quite stiff, but this is the price to pay for sharp and responsive handling. Unfortunately, such a machine must be driven carefully through deep snowdrifts, otherwise you will have to change expensive levers, which are also in short supply. Fuel consumption is more than 22 liters per 100 km, but it's worth it. The costs are considerable, but I need the car purely for pleasure, for drive and unforgettable emotions, adrenaline, etc. The luggage compartment can be expanded if the second passenger seat is removed. And in terms of practicality, I was very pleased with the car.
- Vadim, Krasnoyarsk. The Ventura Multi Purpos is the last snowmobile I ever rode. Before it there were mainly domestic models, including Buran. Of course, these are completely different cars - one is designed for load-carrying capacity, and the second for handling. What I'm saying is that I have never met a snowmobile that strikes the perfect balance between handling, comfort, and practicality. For example, the Yamaha Ventura is configured exclusively for sporty and hard riding on packed snow and smooth roads. It doesn’t matter how many turns there are - Ventura fits perfectly into even the steepest turns. Carrying capacity is not all that bad, but the car is very stiff and noisy. I gave this snowmobile to my son and moved back to Buran.
- Georgy, Stavropol region. A good car for gambling people who don't need to prove anything. You won't get bored with this snowmobile, because it's designed to go fast. It’s probably faster than many competitors, although I haven’t had a chance to compare it yet - I’ve only been using it for two months. Fuel consumption is considerable, and maintenance is not cheap - I’m talking about what I will have to face. The snowmobile quickly accelerates and instantly slows down, just a storm of emotions. The windshield is tall and aerodynamic, protecting my face from snow and wind. You can drive together, but this is a car more likely for one driver, since the dynamics of two people sags significantly.
Reviews of the Yamaha Venture Multi Purpose snowmobile
Hello, I bought this model in 2011. I recommend it to everyone. It’s a very cool, stylish and inexpensive snowmobile. It’s super.
The problem of ice in the tunnels has been solved, 1t.r. + 1 day of work = the muffler is taken out to the street, everything is covered with a galvanized sheet 1.5 m long.
As for the landing, this is a stylish utility vehicle and not a mountain bike, and as for the reverse, don’t rush, wait. In general, this problem can be easily solved, contact your dealer.
Light (for 4t.) - if you suddenly get stuck.
There are no ideal snowmobiles - this is the closest to the ideal - in one word, “universal”, which is why it was created (and some are still looking for the ideal! - let them keep looking))), and at this time we will enjoy it!)
super snowmobile! but only ride on beaten paths or under the supervision of others. if it’s all alone, you’ll spend the night there. Just next to the house. Show-offs are more expensive!
Guys. learn to ride, snowmobile +100 points
Economical and responsive
comfort, efficiency are the main advantages and the track is good due to its length
fast, economical snowmobile, sporty riding position, large luggage compartment
electronic reverse is great
I bought a Yamaha Multi Purpos this year while I was driving it, I regretted that I took it, it’s unstable
The only 4t for this money
I’ve been racing on powder for the 2nd year, I only got stuck in the first year due to inexperience.
Service
It is easier to change the oil if the car has small luggage compartments for storing various things that will be needed on the road. Only reliable materials are used to create these accessories. Linings should help protect skis from any deformation. The duration of operation of the motor always depends on the size of the variator belts. A snowmobile can quickly become unusable if the importance of using these accessories is underestimated.
Maintenance and storage:
- Do not leave the snowmobile on its side for long periods of time. Fuel may come out of the hose.
- Modifications made without expert supervision may render the snowmobile unsafe to operate, resulting in personal injury.
- Do not store a snowmobile with fuel in the tank in a room where there are sources of fire, such as water heaters, heating appliances, flames, sparks, or drying agents. Allow the engine to cool before storing.
- It is recommended to use the information listed in the “Storage” category of the instruction manual.
- Check the status of the safety information tables.
There are types of maintenance that need to be taken into account before starting operation: daily, after break-in, periodic. When carrying out technical service, all faults must be eliminated.
Perform daily snowmobile maintenance, the main purpose of which is to prevent the snowmobile from leaving the area.
For long-term engine operation and increased service life, experts recommend choosing the right oil. You can install spare parts on the car that are similar in their performance characteristics; they can be serviced and adjusted in a garage or showroom, which has a large list of all the necessary components for replacing faulty parts.
