I used to have a 84 SRV and never had an overheating problem. I did have oil pump problems on it and my 87 VMax. The plastic gear in the oil pump tends to strip out. I went through a few pistions and finally just disconnected the pump and ran pre-mix.
BTW, keep an eye on the skis, they have a tendancy to rust out under the saddle, the ski folds in half and you do superman over the bars.

I have an 82 srv 540 or so I am told. I think it is actually a sr 540 F is what some one else told me. I dont know much about the specs as I never touch the sled. It is used for my friends to ride when they dont have something. I can vouch for the skis as my buddy was riding it down the river at night and he ran out of gas. When he got off the sled he noticed the front half of the ski was missing. NOw it has my old ski doo composites on their and soon to have a polaris skid installed in the back. Never had any problems over heating and it rans for 6 miles at WOT down the river. for an 82 it still does 90.

The SRV, I put 11000 miles on my old 82. Rebuilt it once, all it need was rings and seals. Preventive maintenance I would recommend replacing crank seals if it has over 6000 miles. Replace the fan belt and fan bearings yearly. If you want air induction order the set up from Yamaha, they came on 86 and up SRV's.
Basically from 83 to 90 there was little to no changes except for the air scoop.
A little known fact; 1980 was the first SRV, it was army green and only a few made. 81 they were silver and blue. 82 they were black with yellow and red striping and from then on the motor was un-changed.
I changed the suspention and comet clutch to the 83 model and added the fan induction off the 86 model. The comet clutch netted 5 sled lengths over stock.
Let me know if you need further help, I know this sled inside and out.

27,000 yes thousand kms on my 86 SRV
Extremmely reliable 1 track 2clutches set of shocks and no rebuild though the engine needed it at 27,000 km LOL:hallo4: but still ran
The 80-82 had the small intake port(not sure on the 83)same as the 85-90 XLV 540
The 84 and up had the larger ports and same reeds as the Phazer which where larger
I owned both an 84 and 86 SRV 540
Last year for SRV was 91 it had Blue/green graphics
They had independant since 1980 actually they all SRVs had independant(TSS)
You can fit a SS 440 or XLV engine in the chassis if you need to
