Conquer Snow

For all, snowmobiling is a way of life. But for some, that way of life is dependent on a machine built to work. The VK540 is engineered to be tough, with all the dependable workhorse features you would need to complete any winter work. Tested in Yamaha's engineered wind tunnel to develop a body and windshield that would hold up against the harsh polar conditions, inside and out the VK540 is ready and waiting to work.

• 540 2-Stroke Fan Cooled Engine
• A proven 540 2-stroke engine powers this ultra dependable utility snowmobile. Based on the legendary 540, Yamaha engineers improved midrange torque and reduced fuel consumption by nearly 25 percent. The improved efficiency meets current emissions standards with even more reliability than its predecessor.
• Heated Mikuni TM33 Carburetor
• The heated Mikuni TM33 flat slide carburetor delivers crisp throttle response. Small dual electronic heater coils embedded in the carburetor body stabilizes idle speed and reduces plug fouling.
• Dual-Bulb Headlight
• The VK540 features a dual-bulb headlight. The twin headlights throws more light on the trail than the previous single bulb design, and is fully integrated in the overall styling cues.
• Hi-Output Stator Ring Design
• The VK540 has a large, multi-coil stator ring design to develop over twice the electrical output of the previous model. The 400 watt output is used to power the new carb heaters, new twin-bulb headlight, the hand warmers and other accessories.
• Large Capacity Fuel Tank
• Enjoy extended range and expanded work capability with a large fuel tank. The tank boasts a capacity of 11.6-gallons. Combine that with the clean-running engine and you'll see nearly double the range on a single tank of fuel, as compared to the original VK540.

• Three Speed Transmission
• The Hi/Lo transmission with reverse is workhorse one minute, and a versatile trail cruiser the next. With a simple to use manual actuated lever, you can select from ?normal? high range for cruising to low range and pull heavy loads.
• Special Clutch Calibration
• Yamaha engineers developed a clutch calibration to maximize the VK's ability while keeping the sled's utility application in mind. The result is a setup that has very smooth engagement and roll out, without sacrificing overall operating performance.
• Camoplast 1.5 Cobra Wide Track
• The primary purpose of the 20" x 154" x 1.5" Cobra track is to fully maximize all available snow with confidence-inspiring deep snow floatation and powerful pulling force. The 1.5" lug is perfect for low-speed or high-load situations that utility sleds often function in.

• TSS Front Suspension
• TSS Struts offer the ultimate solution for snow deep mobility and durable simplicity.
• High Flotation UHMW Skis
• Wide skis deliver added flotation when traveling off-trail, while an engineered keel provides predictable handling and easy to steer manners.
