Conquer Snow


The Yamaha VK540 is legendary for its durability, reliability and dauntless work ethic. A simple, 2-stroke engine with heated carburetor and both manual and electric starting is assured to get you going no matter how far the mercury drops. A 20 inch track with aggressive 1.5 inch lugs provides plenty of traction and the hi/lo range transmission with reverse offers versatility. The VK540 has been the top choice of riders in remote areas for a very good reason. It's a Yamaha, dependable, pure and simple.

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.
 

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.
 

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.
