Yamaha SL292 Snowmobile (1972-1973)

The Yamaha SL292 is a classic snowmobile produced from 1972 to 1973, known for its simplicity and reliability. This model was powered by a single-cylinder 292cc engine, providing consistent power for trail riding. The standard SL292B (1972) and SL292C (1973) versions produced approximately 20 brake horsepower at 5,500 rpm. For performance enthusiasts, the GP292 model, also equipped with the 292cc engine, was available with increased power of about 27 to 29 horsepower, notably due to a heavy-duty carburetor. While the 292cc engine remained consistent, 1972 saw the introduction of the gear-driven Autolube oil injection system across Yamaha's snowmobile line, including the SL292. This innovative system automatically metered oil based on engine RPMs and load, aiming to reduce spark plug fouling. The change from the SL292B designation in 1972 to SL292C in 1973 indicates model year revisions. Furthermore, the GP292 model experienced chassis changes, transitioning from a round headlight in 1972 to a square headlight in 1973, suggesting minor cosmetic or structural updates for the SL292 versions as well.
