Description of technical characteristics of Yamaha Viking 540-4

Yamaha Viking 540 3 is a high-quality snowmobile from a well-known manufacturer from Japan. This car has a classic layout, has a strict and simple design, as well as a high windshield. The model in question comes mainly in a black version, which is considered the most practical. Before us is the fourth model of the Viking family from the famous Japanese brand, known for the production of automobile and motorcycle equipment. The Viking 540 III model turned out to be no less popular than its predecessor, which had unprecedented characteristics for its time, and was significantly different from its competitors in terms of handling, maneuverability, reliability and cross-country ability. That is why the Viking 540 III model deserves special attention, since it has received significant improvements and is more modern and relevant than its predecessor of the same name.

Among the main features of the machine, we note the impressive technical characteristics, the high level of which is not inferior to most famous analogues. In general, this type of transport has absorbed all the best that experienced Yamaha specialists have. First, let's pay attention to the wide track with excellent cross-country ability. In addition, thanks to the special shape of the caterpillar, it was possible to increase directional stability, and thereby reduce the risk of capsizing. Moreover, the durable track significantly increases the load capacity - by the way, according to this indicator, snowmobiles of the Viking family have always been considered the best. The car overcomes obstacles, rocks and deep snowdrifts without any problems. At the same time, you don’t even have to slow down, since the caterpillar is made of durable components that are resistant to deformation and various damages. This factor is extremely important at low temperatures, including in the northern regions of Russia - in such conditions problems with reliability most often arise. But the Viking 540 III is adapted to the most severe temperature loads.

Secondly, let’s pay attention to several pleasant features that benefit cross-country ability and stability. This is a multifunctional gearbox with forward and reverse positions that can be used under heavy loads - for example, for transporting and towing large and heavy loads. Reliable and uninterrupted starting is ensured by a powerful electric starter, thanks to which the engine starts almost instantly, and for this it does not need to be warmed up. But as a last resort, you can always use a manual starter, which means that the engine will start in any case, and in any weather. All of the listed components are the prerogative of the basic configuration.

Owner reviews

• I consider the Taiga ST-500D snowmobile to be a very popular model among domestic snowmobiles. The car exceeded all expectations in terms of cross-country ability and stability. Easily overcomes slopes covered with loose snow. For him, this is a completely solvable task, since it is equipped with a powerful running system. One cannot help but notice the instrument panel, with the help of which the snowmobile driver can easily monitor the condition of the equipment. The chassis also has its own characteristics, in which the rear shock absorbers are located horizontally. Thanks to them, comfort and softness when moving are ensured. In the event of a breakdown, it is very easy to get to any part, which makes it easy and efficient to fix problems. I have been using this snowmobile for a very long time and have no regrets at all.
• The long-awaited snow has finally fallen. The next weekend it was decided to go to the ski resort with the whole family. The Taiga ST-500D snowmobile, which was chosen by my husband as a means of transportation, made everyone very happy. The two-seater snowmobile turned out to be very stable on sharp turns, there were practically no skids. Two skids ensured the stability of the vehicle along the entire route. The speed, which reaches up to 60 kilometers per hour, made it possible, as they say, to ride with the breeze. The ride through the snowy forest lasted for the whole day. Everyone was delighted with this walk. In my opinion, this model is very successful.

Chassis

Chassis Yamaha Viking 540-4

The Yamaha front suspension is made in the form of telescopic struts. It consists of two hydraulic shock absorbers. The travel of each of the front shock absorbers is 15 centimeters. This allows you to smoothly overcome uneven snow cover.

The rear suspension is made in the form of two springs and steel gas shock absorbers. The gas in the shock absorbers is under high pressure. The travel of the rear shock absorbers is 38.5 centimeters. This makes it possible to transport passengers and cargo of sufficiently large weight on a snowmobile. The manufacturer has provided the ability to quickly adjust the rigidity of the rear suspension. This is necessary so that the user can customize for specific purposes.

From the above it follows that the Yamaha Viking 540 IV snowmobile is one of the best in its class. This model perfectly combines high power, reliability and comfort for the operator and passenger. This snowmobile is suitable for a variety of purposes.

Useful tips

Today there are many different models of carbs. All modifications have the ability to reduce fuel consumption, i.e., make the car more economical.

Here are a few basic things to know before undertaking flow reduction surgery.

1. Each carburetor, even the simplest one, has a damper, a diffuser, a chamber with a float and jets.
2. The chamber contains a float and a needle, which locks and unlocks the access of fuel inside.
3. The float in the chamber floats up at the moment when the gasoline reaches a certain level. He presses on the needle, which blocks the access of fuel.
4. The gasoline level decreases as the engine runs. The float stops pressing on the needle, it opens the fuel supply.
5. The fuel nozzle is designed to supply fuel to the atomizer from the chamber. The volume of liquid supplied directly depends on the size, shape and cross-section of the nozzle.
6. Jets are calculated depending on the volume of the vehicle’s power unit. For example, if this is a car with a 1.6 liter internal combustion engine, then you can purchase a repair kit for 1.3 liters. Thus, jets with a smaller cross-section are selected, since the volume of the 1.3-liter engine is smaller.

Note that the cost of repair kits to reduce fuel consumption of carburetor cars is lower for domestic models than for foreign cars.

"Lynx-119"

This modification is classified as a tourist category and has been produced since 1991. The equipment is designed for operation in the harshest conditions. The “heart” of the car is a two-stroke engine with a pair of cylinders. At the same time, it creates quite a lot of noise and has an enviable “appetite”. The advantages of the “engine” include ease of maintenance and reliability. The power is quite enough to quickly overcome snowy roads.

It is worth noting that the seating position for the passenger is not entirely comfortable. He has nothing to hold onto except the trunk, which is not very comfortable. Among the advantages is the presence of spacious steps for feet. The seat is soft, but has a sliding surface.

Technical characteristics and dimensions of the Lynx snowmobile:

• engine volume – 431 cubic meters. cm;
• cooling type – air system;
• power parameter – 46 hp. With.;
• fuel tank capacity – 24 l;

What is the fuel consumption at 30 degrees on a snowmobile?

Because of this, the car encounters virtually no air resistance, and you save a lot of fuel; In addition, you adapt to the smooth speed of the truck, moving without acceleration or braking. The regulating device reduces the pressure level in the brake drive of the rear wheel elements, which makes it possible to increase the braking efficiency of vehicles.

"Yamaha Viking"

This version refers to multifunctional utilitarian equipment. Engineers listened to users and completely changed the front part of the car, and also improved the lighting elements and seats for the driver and passenger. The provided edges and stampings on the hood effectively remove air and snow flows from the driver. Additional comfort is provided by heated grips and visor.

Reliable protection against snow getting into the engine compartment is guaranteed by improved grilles and sealing of this compartment. A finely tuned variator is responsible for a smooth start; the power of the unit in deep snow is realized due to good shock absorption and tracks with pronounced ground grips. For transporting things there is a spacious trunk and a compartment under the seat.

Alexey Pestov there is no point in setting 27 rpm, also 3600 at maximum; from the minus, the snowmobile becomes heavier, as in a snowstorm, RMZ 20 liters per 100 km, plus I constantly either unscrew the muffler or break it off, whatever you do, it burns out faster, I’m writing from personal experience. Siberian expanses, we talked with the officials about installing this engine on a Buran, the question was about the speed controller, they said that the Chinese were afraid at the first stages of the production of these engines, they say that suddenly something would not hold up, but a certain period of time passed and experiments with these engines were very a lot and everything is good.

"Polaris Widetrack"

This model is considered the most popular among utilitarian representatives. The popularity is due to the reliability of the design and high build quality. Among the advantages, they also note the reliable start of the motor, which is capable of operating efficiently at critically low temperatures. The two-stroke “engine” guarantees the required thrust and does not overheat at high speeds, since the liquid cooling jacket is functioning. Other advantages include ease of maintenance and operation of most components.

The engine power is 85 “horses”, two cylinders are equipped with a separate carburetor. The lubrication system is of a separate configuration. Good control is ensured by the front wishbone suspension, which behaves well even at a speed of 100 km/h. The rear analogue is a torsion shock absorber.

"Stealth Frost"

The unique snowmobile has a modern design and decent technical characteristics. The equipment includes only one ski, with a focus on the northern regions of the country. This technique is available in two modifications, the parameters of which are identical to each other. The difference lies in the extended base and weight (320 and 295 kg).

The car is driven by a two-stroke engine with a pair of cylinders with their own carburetors. The ignition system is developed on the basis of special programming; the unit is protected from overheating by forced atmospheric cooling. Reinforced steering column - adjustable configuration, handles and throttle trigger are heated. The hydraulic brake is responsible for stopping. The driver's seat is soft, comfortable, and does not slip. The modern hood has special holes that serve to redirect the air flow to the engine.

Reasons not related to the carburetor - Buran characteristics

If the problem is overheating, drain the old antifreeze, flush the system, replace the coolant temperature and radiator fan sensors, and fill in with new antifreeze. Siberian expanses, we talked with the officials about installing this engine on a Buran, the question was about the speed controller, they said that the Chinese were afraid at the first stages of the production of these engines, they say that suddenly something would not hold up, but a certain period of time passed and experiments with these engines were very a lot and everything is good.

"Stealth Ermak 800"

This modification replaced the morally and technically outdated Buran. "Ermak" has the same weight, but much better dynamics and equipment. The peculiarity of placing the gas tank (between the driver’s legs) eliminates the possibility of it being damaged by branches. The equipment is protected from stumps and logs from below by an aluminum shield.

The car is driven by a four-stroke engine with a power of 67 “horses”. Average fuel consumption is about 20 l/100 km. The tank holds 50 liters of fuel. The gas grip and steering wheel are heated. The special configuration of the lenses on the light elements guarantees good illumination.
