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.
Features may include:
COMFORTWhether you're riding one- or two-up or hauling a heavy payload, the dual-shock, fully-coupled suspension features a simple and effective flip-lever torsion spring adjustment. A 40mm, High Pressure Gas (HPG) shock provides exceptional control, fade resistance and maximum work abilities.
With a significantly longer lifespan, the high-intensity LED brake light is lighter and brighter than a traditional incandescent design.
Functional mirrors tout a large viewing area, making it easier to see what lies behind. The mirrors are mounted on the interior side of the Protective Windshield to shield them from potential damage.
The tunnel design includes large snow evacuation holes on running boards with traction and is built out of lightweight, high-tensile steel for durability in the toughest conditions.
PERFORMANCEThe Hi/Lo transmission with reverse is a 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 for pulling heavy loads.
With smooth engagement and roll out, the clutch calibration maximizes ability and utility, without sacrificing operational performance.
The dependable 20 x 154 x 1.5" Cobra track delivers the perfect balance of traction versus durability. The 1.5 inch lugs provide ample deep snow traction with the strength to withstand, rugged, hard-packed terrain.
HANDLINGTelescopic struts offer the ultimate solution for deep snow mobility and durability.
Wide skis add flotation when traveling off-trail while the engineered keel provides predictable and easy-to-steer handling.
