2018 Yamaha SIDEWINDER L-TX DX Service and Repair Manual

The 2018 L-TX DX is coded SW1NLDJB, and its service manual is Yamaha LIT-12618-03-50. That book is the reference for all twenty 2018 Sidewinder models, the B-TX, L-TX, M-TX, R-TX, S-TX and X-TX variants together, including the 50th anniversary sleds and the Early Build version.

Confirming fitment

Use the model code above. Sidewinder naming runs long and several 2018 models differ by a single suffix, so a code check is quicker and more certain than reading the name off the hood.

Inside are the maintenance intervals, engine and turbocharger service procedures, fuel-system and electrical diagnosis with expected readings, clutch and driveline specifications, suspension and track adjustment, brake and steering work, torque values throughout, and the full wiring diagrams.
