I have a 2021 and it is awesome, best part is fuel injection and eLectric power steering (not on the 2010 though.) You will find the sled is heavy, get the 11 inch skins for better flotation and make sure you pack a shovel, getting unstuck is not fun when it weighs 800 pounds. The mileage is...

You simply cannot beat an enclosed trailer, it beats a cover hands down provides security and when you get home from riding its refuel, lock the door and trailer and walk away. Only downside i see is money output, but if you put on a lot of miles it’s worth it. In my opinion. Bearman

Although fresh fuel is #1, fuel filters are your next logical step to insure your fuel pumps are getting good fuel. Bearman

Hey Brian, I agree, proper mixtures will aid cooling and extra expansion tank or bigger tank will add system capacity and lower excess coolant temps. Thanks for your feedback Bearman

Hi Mazellan, interesting about Ferguson, first thing I ever drove as my grandfather used one on his farm and taught me to drive. I am just going through the process of getting a service manual for my 2021 VK Viking Pro, through the VIP membership in this group. I believe it’s $15:00 which is...

I this something that is coming down the road and I just have to wait until it is produced? Am I to presume this is electronic and I can then download when available? No problem as I am still under warranty for a year, just like to have the mechanic data for backup? Also are these manuals ever...

Good day, I am interested in becoming a VIP member and getting a service manual for 2021 VK Viking Professional 2 EPS. How do we make this happen? TKS Bearman

Hi Mazellan, First off, nice looking groomer, looks fairly simple and compact. Sounds like you have some good tooling on hand so you are set there. I am not sure if you have a service manual but that will tell you what temp the thermostat opens and also, cooling system capacity, and the...

Hey Mazellan, If I may ask what kind of temperatures are you seeing for overheat? Have you verified what I am going to assume is a light telling you there is a problem?? I am new to the group but not trouble shooting and I have a great dislike for warning lights. Always nice to verify...

Hey Christoph, when I get into the exhaust project I will keep your idea in mind. I personally do not like flexible exhaust pipe as it’s not a permanent fix, my experience has been flex pipe usually moves around, and the plastic base surrounding the muffler on the VK Viking Pro 2 will not stand...

Hey Yukon MP, I understand the issue, just want to see it for myself and in my environment, to me the kit is imminent, just not happy to have to cut up a brand new sled for a problem that’s over 5 years old. So far the machine is awesome but have next to no time on the snow yet, that will...

Hi Quinton, I was wandering about the position of your saw and scabbard with the exhaust issue these sleds have. I asked yamaha about the exhaust issue, they simply say it’s part of running a 4 stroke sled and provided pictures of the change up that the owner has to eat, they say this is an 1.5...

The exhaust kit is part # SMA-VKMOD-EX-KT, I have heard about $200.00 for parts then installation, installation. Says 1.5 hrs, not sure on that.

Hi Quinton, missed this on my first questions, how is your tunnel icing working out with the standard exhaust? Still building my 2021 Viking pro, mainly equipping it for the season, currently 2 feet of snow here in east central Saskatchewan so time to get out there. Regards, Bearman

Hi 74 Nitro Will be keeping a close eye on the oil level especially as the engine breaks in as if the rings do not seat there can be oil consumption. Interesting that the Yamaha owners manual is a bit conflicted as to oil quantity, makes it most worthy of closer checks, I always believe in...
