Yamaha Snowmobile Red Snow Flap 16" Nytro Apex

The Yamaha SMA-K7595-00-RD is a genuine OEM 16-inch snow flap for most 1997–2018 Yamaha snowmobile models, manufactured to Yamaha's original material and dimensional specification. The flap material is formulated to remain flexible in sub-zero temperatures — a critical performance requirement that separates OEM-spec flap material from inexpensive aftermarket alternatives that become brittle and crack under cold-weather impact with snow and ice debris thrown by the track. Pre-drilled holes at the Yamaha-standard four-point rivet pattern align directly with the existing mounting bracket on compatible sleds, eliminating any need for measurement or drilling. Four rivets (part number 90267-47200) are included, so the installation kit is complete.

The replacement scenario this part addresses is straightforward: snow flaps take mechanical abuse from trail debris and UV exposure over a season, and a cracked or missing flap leaves the chassis and running gear exposed to packed snow and ice that accelerates wear. Swapping to a new OEM flap is a 15-minute repair with a hand rivet gun — drill out the four old rivets, position the new flap, set four new rivets. The built-in cut line allows adaptation to models requiring the shorter flap variant without custom measurement. The red colorway with white Yamaha script matches Yamaha's factory aesthetic on compatible model-year sleds. Owners of SR Viper and Sidewinder platforms should note the explicit incompatibility and source the correct part number for those models separately.
