Reaching down to the ground are all-new Maxxis
Big Horn tires that were designed exclusively
for Yamaha and optimized specifically for the
Viking VI. Their aggressive tread patterns and
reputation for durability are similar to the
original Viking, but the construction and pressure
setting have been optimized for the VI. In short,
the new tires contribute to the vehicles overall
comfort, handling and durability.

Viking VI Power & Engine
|
The Viking VI pulls power from a 686cc 4-stroke,
liquid-cooled, SOHC, single-cylinder, 4-valve,
fuel-injected engine proven on Viking and optimized
for the Viking VI.
The engine gets a redesigned
intake system, fuel injection and ignition advance
mapping, plus changes in the clutch specification
to power up for the larger platform and achieve
strong, smooth power and acceleration from extremely
low speeds up through to the high-speed range.
|
The engine features a new redesigned air intake system that is paired with fuel injection and ignition advance mapping for strong smooth power
|
Ultimately, it is the most powerful 4x4 engine
Yamaha has ever produced, and it makes plenty
of power to handle the Viking VI at maximum
capacity.

Viking VI Real World Tough & Utility
|
The Viking VI engine is positioned under the vehicle’s
rear cargo bed allowing for easy access and simple
maintenance. Its large capacity air intake system,
which contributes to the engine’s strong power
delivery, is also easy to access and maintain
incorporating a reusable, large-capacity foam
air filter positioned under the middle rear seat.
It is easily accessible from the cabin without
tools to clean or change in the field or shop.

The Yamaha Viking VI features 14-cubic-feet of cargo space in the bed & is capable of carrying up to 600 lbs of cargo and has a tow capacity of 1,500 lbs
|
The large flat rear cargo bed is made of steel,
designed for excellent load capacity, and is
rated to carry up to 600 pounds of cargo. At
14-cubic-feet of cargo space with no wheel wells,
a full pallet fits flush and the bed has standard
tie down hooks and one-touch tilt assist. A
standard two-inch receiver hitch out back tows
an additional 1,500 pounds.
Unique to the category, the Viking VI incorporates
steel skid plates across the entire undercarriage:
front-to-back and side-to-side, and the chassis
is swept up on each side to reduce potential
for friction in rough terrain. Also unique to
the Viking line is row crop friendly track width.
