Transmission and engine

The ignition system of a digital electronic type, provides uniform combustion of fuel and a sure smooth start. The snowmobile engine has high torque and high efficiency and retains the gained power. Three 40 mm carburetors ensure reliable operation of the power plant.
Features of the chassis
The snowmobile is able to freely move through the snow with a depth of 20 inches thanks to massive and powerful tracks 3962 mm long. They are driven by parallel-mounted suspension rails with a hinged rear section. Excellent traction with snow is provided by the ProAction Plus suspension with an advanced tracked track. The hinges of the rear suspension give the tract flexibility and minimize the appearance of deep ruts when reversing in deep snow. The owners of the Yamaha Viking Professional in the reviews note the usefulness and practicality of this function.
The massiveness and large dimensions of the design of the snowmobile are due to the front section of the Deltabox, thanks to which the transmission is located behind and below the center line of the runners. The Yamaha Viking Professional model uses a special tunnel to form enough to accommodate pendants and wide caterpillars of space. This design enabled engineers to install a wide and long seat and luggage compartment underneath.
The advantage of the Viking Professional snowmobile is its removable rear passenger seat, which, however, has long been the standard for Yamaha snowmobiles.
Steering
The utilitarian snowmobile is lightweight and easy to steer, but an electric power amplifier would not hurt it. Perfectly adjusted rear balance of runners makes steering much easier.
The model is equipped with plastic SUV wide skids and an independent Yamaha proprietary suspension with a triangular wishbone. The front suspension travel with an angle of 23 degrees is ensured by the short axles of the structure with curved and long levers made in the shape of the letter A. The suspension with telescopic racks developed in the 80s used in the Yamaha Viking 540 snowmobile is significantly inferior to the new suspension, which is a spare part Yamaha Viking Professional. " The front suspension of the snowmobile is equipped with curved levers, which protects the entire mechanism from damage in the event of a collision with debris, stones and branches hidden under the snow.
The central belt, extending from the direct steering of the snowmobile, when secured to the mountain runners, provides free space on the side of the wide footrest for moving the driver's weight during maneuvering in loose and deep snow. Of course, Yamaha Viking Professional is inferior in maneuverability to its competitors, but the presence of a belt can be very useful.
Resume and owner reviews
"Yamaha Viking Professional" - a real heavy snowmobile designed to conquer mountain slopes and snow drifts. The equipment is equipped with a robust and massive towing hook that allows you to transport loaded sledges. A plastic windshield, somewhat distorting the look, does not at all worsen the technique, despite its multifunctionality.
Appearance Yamaha Viking Professional literally speaks of its belonging to a utilitarian snowmobile - from the bends of the front bumper to the roomy luggage compartment in the rear. The updated design of the machine was created specifically for a light rotor with a ventilation valve and four pistons of the brake system. The engine power is sufficient for pulling both the snowmobile itself and the towed sleigh with overall load in the snow. Additional options presented by a hand heating system and the ability to adjust the accelerator with your thumb greatly simplify management and make riding on a snowmobile as comfortable as possible. Powerful halogen double headlights illuminate the path in the dark. On the sides are large rear-view mirrors.
The classic LCD displays information about speed, torque, distance traveled and fuel level. With a small amount of fuel, the LED that alerts the driver lights up. Built-in full outlet allows you to connect and charge mobile devices.
