Tony here is an 1983 sales brochure that shows the new stile kill switch, I have never seen an orange kill switch like the one on the 81 SRX on a vmax unless it was put on by someone , my parts catalog shows that it is the same as an 84 with a part # of 8x626311-00-00. And I also remember braking mine back in 84 and the new one that the dealer ordered was just like the one that broke and it was the new stile.

hmm just when i thought we had covered all of the differences... the sales brocures i have scanned under the "models" section do show the rubber switch... i had always thought they were the hard kind... maybe the brocures are of a preproduction sled, or maybe the 83's did have the rubber switch i dont know
My airbox is held on by one screw, not because Im lazy but because it is less weight!

I RECIEVED A PICTURE FROM A MEMBER HERE WITH A ASWOME 1983 VMAX. HE GOES BY NAME HMAN. IS VMAX HAS ORANGE BUTTON FOR KILL SWITCH. THIS IS NOT A ARGUEMENT BY ME. YOU GUYS ALL MIGHT BE RIGHT. I REALLY BELIEVE IF YA HAVE A EARLY PRODUCTION VMAX, MAYBE IT HAS THE 81 SRX ORANGE BUTTON. THATS THE ONE I AM GONNA INSTALL. MY NUMBER IS 176. 3:16 (yammie tony)

Kill Switch
The local yamaha shop had a replacement cover for the kill switch that was Red! The 84 Vmax was Black

JEFF, LOOK VERY CLOSELY AT BACKSIDE OF THIS DEALER BROCHURE IT SHOWS VMAX COMING STRAIT AT YA ON SNOW. LOOK AT HANDLE BARS. ORANGE BUTTON ON KILL SWTICH. 3:16 (yammie tony)vmax-540 wrote:Tony here is an 1983 sales brochure that shows the new stile kill switch, I have never seen an orange kill switch like the one on the 81 SRX on a vmax unless it was put on by someone , my parts catalog shows that it is the same as an 84 with a part # of 8x626311-00-00.

I guess this was a change over year or something, I have seen pictures of all sorts of differences on this sled even from Yamaha , there is a picture on the Yamaha web site that even shows the 83 Vmax with the rear suspension that was used on th 81 & 82 SRX but we all know that it came with the Pro Action Link that year , I have no answer to this question all I know for shore was that mine came with the black button like the ones on the 84 and up Vmax's had , and I broke mine and the dealer replaced it with the very same thing and that I have never seen the orange older stile like the one on the SRX on any Vmax. Very confusing!! Tony I just found this in an November 1982 issue of Sno Goer magazine that showes the newer style switch, if this piture isn't clear or you have any question email me and I will send you a copy .
