This is a1985 Yamaha Phazer Snowmobile (PZ480J/EJ) that has been garaged all of its life. It has 3400 trail miles on it and is in great shape as shown in the photos (it has a bit of dust on it.) It has not been started in a few years so it may need some carburator cleaning, but it runs great. We have kept it garaged in our cabin in Island Park and ride it locally. I have the title.

This model was a popular and lightweight snowmobile known for its sharp handling and reliable engine.

• Engine: Air-cooled, 2-stroke, in-line 2-cylinder, 485cc displacement.
• Horsepower: Rated at approximately 55 hp.
• Weight: Manufacturer's reported dry weight was around 392 lbs for the standard model.
• Suspension: Featured a TSS ski suspension with an integrated sway bar and dual shock Pro-Link rear suspension.
• Track Length: 116 inches.

Introduced in 1984, it became a popular model for Yamaha and spawned several follow-up models (such as the Phazer II, Phazer Deluxe, Phazer Mountain Lite, Phazer FX, and Phazer GT); its design features were also incorporated into other models (such as later-model Exciters as well as the Venture Lite).

Of particular note on the Phazer is way in which the headlight is directly connected to the handlebars so that the headlight follows the direction of a turn. This feature was certainly new among Yamaha models when it was introduced in 1984, and Yamaha claims that it and other features 'began a new era in snowmobiling'. The Phazer was always known for its sharp handling, free-revving 485cc fan-cooled engine, solid reliability, light weight, and most importantly, value. Ride quality akin to most of the snowmobiles of that era.
