2022 Yamaha VK540

Comfort

• PRO COMFORT SUSPENSION: Whether 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.
• LED TAILLIGHT: With a significantly longer lifespan, the high-intensity LED brake light is lighter and brighter than a traditional incandescent design.
• WORKFORCE MIRRORS: 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.
• TUNNEL DESIGN: 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.
• PROTECTIVE WINDSHIELD: A wide, tall, wrap-around windshield delivers great protection from the elements as well as unsuspecting tree branches and limbs. Tested in wind tunnels, the windshield reduces unwanted, negative swirl and delivers a greater “pocket” of comfort for all riders.
• STANDARD ELECTRIC START: Seamless and easy to use electric start delivers instant and hassle free starts, no matter the weather, a manual recoil starter is also included for extra insurance when you are far off the beaten trail.
• STANDARD TOW HITCH: The standard factory rear-mounted tow hitch is ready for any additional gear or occasional light-duty work.
• EXPANSIVE UNDER-SEAT STORAGE: Under the hinged, flip-up seat, the large under-seat storage touts an integrated tool kit and room for much more.

Handling

• TSS FRONT SUSPENSION: Telescopic struts offer the ultimate solution for deep snow mobility and durability.
• HIGH FLOTATION UHMW SKIS: Wide skis add flotation when traveling off-trail while the engineered keel provides predictable and easy-to-steer handling.

Performance

• THREE SPEED TRANSMISSION: The 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.
• SPECIAL CLUTCH CALIBRATION: With smooth engagement and roll out, the clutch calibration maximizes ability and utility, without sacrificing operational performance.
• CAMOPLAST 1.5 COBRA WIDE TRACK: 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.

Top Features
