TOP 9 snowmobiles of the Yamaha model range and their characteristics

Where a person cannot go, the Yamaha Viking VK 540 V snowmobile will more than pass. Good cross-country ability, high-quality control, improved traction capacity - all these advantages make the Yamaha a good assistant in especially snowy places. You can purchase a snowmobile from a company that is an official dealer of Japanese manufacturer products in different cities of the country, or from individuals.

The snowmobile has received new parts: the suspension has new settings, the exterior has changed. To improve the responsiveness of control and the efficiency of movement, manufacturers have built a high-power engine into the Yamaha Viking 540 snowmobile, and the stroke of the hydraulic shock absorber located in the front has been changed - it has been increased to 150 mm. All these additions are integrated into a fundamentally new version of the Yamaha snowmobile, which guarantees effective protection for passengers and the driver.

Installing the temperature sensor CITD 3 on a Yamaha snowmobile

Hello! You can buy CITD 3 and CITD 4 in the Yetipro.ru store, which is what we did. Having gutted the mailbox and sharing the contents with a friend, we agreed to install the devices in the evening, especially since it was a Friday. At the end of the article there will be a VIDEO of the operation of sensors on a SNOWMOBILE!

And now evening has come! The Yamaha snowmobile was driven into a warm garage, with a temperature of 0 C, but not outside, to install the digital temperature indicator CITD 3. It took about 10 minutes to study the installation instructions, then we started. The work was carried out together, with a friend, taking turns driving their snowmobiles

Having assessed the snowmobile panel and the space under it, the installation location of the TsITD 3

Then, we began to make a cut along the intended contour. Why was a HITACHI brand screwdriver used - another one will not be suitable for these purposes))

At the work stage, the snowmobile panel began to look like this

Then a sharp knife with a narrow blade was used. The plastic of the Yamaha VK 540 panel turned out to be very soft and cut easily

And so we got a neat cutout. Nearby we drilled a hole for the button for reading the outdoor temperature sensor

Having inserted the measuring unit into the hole, we found that the body of the device rests against the mount for the reverse sound signal

Having thought about this event, the sound signal was unscrewed from its mounting point

Using a metal blade, the fastening was mercilessly sawed off

And a hole was drilled in the hood of the snowmobile for a new location for installing the tweeter

The measuring unit CITD 3 and the button for outdoor temperature readings were installed, and we began laying the device’s wires. The wires of the device are thick, with a good cross-section, which instills confidence. We fastened the snowmobile wiring directly along the spit using plastic ties. The CITD 3 kit includes two plastic ties. This quantity is not enough, it is better to stock up on them in advance, or use improvised materials, such as electrical tape. Outdoor temperature sensor CITD 3 , mounted on the bumper, in the area of ​​the left hinge of the snowmobile hood

Having extended the sensor wires to the engine, we were faced with the need to remove the top cover of the airflow casing. Of course, it was possible to insert temperature sensors through the holes in the spark plug wells, but it doesn’t look pretty. And unscrewing the 4 bolts securing the cover is a matter of seconds.

After unscrewing the bolts, shake and pull the cover towards the left side of the snowmobile. It comes off easily. We removed the spark plugs and used pliers to cut the O-rings off of them. The temperature sensors were placed in the spark plug wells in such a way that the sensor wires ran with less bends. The insulation of the temperature sensor wire is thermally resistant and does not melt due to the temperature of the cylinders. Screw the candles into place

Reinstalled the air hood cover

Having finished with the mechanical part, we started connecting the device. As stated in the instructions, CITD 3 can operate on both alternating and direct voltage and it does not matter whether the snowmobile has a battery or not. We connected the plus of the device to the speedometer light bulb, and the minus to ground. (NOTE on Yamaha Viking snowmobiles, without a tachometer, there are two free wires in the headlight area, we had them in black and blue. You cannot connect the CITD or anything else to them - it will burn out. These wires are intended for connecting the tachometer, the voltage is on They are pulsed and increase depending on engine speed.)

On a friend’s snowmobile, also a Yamaha VK 540, but with a battery, the device was connected through the ignition switch. In a nutshell it looks like this! There is a brown wire going to the ignition switch (at least, this was the color on both snowmobiles), we connect the positive wire of the device to it. So we got the following operation of the CITD: the ignition is turned off - the device does not work, the key is on - the device works, the key is in the electric work position. starter - the device does not work, the engine starts and the key is released - the device works. What does this give? The battery provides stable voltage in all modes of engine operation - it absorbs voltage surges and compensates for dips at low speeds, providing stable power to the device, which is the key to long-term performance.

Temperature sensor CITD 3 works on a Yamaha VK-540 snowmobile

Happy New Year to everyone! Have a great season and snowy winter, friends!

When starting a conversation about this snowmobile model, from the first words I would like to note its great cross-country ability, excellent endurance and ability to transport cargo. When it's time to hit the fresh snow, everyone wants to be sure their snowmobile has everything they need to provide excellent handling, power, comfort, economy and reliability.

Considering utilitarianism

Reverse gear is standard on high/low gearboxes

Since the Yamaha RS Viking Professional snowmobile was designed as a utilitarian snowmobile, it is equipped with Yamaha's most advanced 4-stroke engine. The Genesis 120 was designed specifically as a snowmobile engine, i.e. with high torque and high efficiency due to the fuel injection system. The air-cooled Viking 540 engine also has plenty of torque, but being a 2-stroke, it tends to gradually lose power once it reaches its mid-range level. The 4-stroke RS Viking Professional pulls three times longer, peaking at around 8200rpm, making it an excellent replacement for the VK 540. And although the liquid-cooled engine has a relatively high 11.3 compression ratio, it runs just fine on regular 87-octane petrol.

The RS Viking Professional chassis is designed specifically for the Genesis 120, a rigid Deltabox chassis with a low mid-engine position for improved handling. Yamaha's YVXC drive system works with a three-speed transmission, and you can rely entirely on the dual-piston disc brake system when you need to stop. The brake discs are ventilated, which both reduces the overall weight of the structure and improves cooling of the brake system. Thus, this is a significantly more modernized version than the Viking 540 (VK 540), equipped with mechanical disc brakes.

and now I was dragging the second drag of 150 kg, the other 350 kg was dragging 50 km anyway, I’m experienced in this matter, and the Russian bearings are 204; 205, the larger variator is 205, the naventelator bearing is 204, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that price and quality are excellent. there is nothing to do with the bumper, how to keep control over whether the oil is being supplied, and there would also be mesh on the cooling holes on the hood, and after 1300 km the engine connecting rod is jammed, and also the front aluminum arch, in the forest, with the slightest impact, the front bottom is deformed, and the hood does not sit on the landing places, forming huge gaps.

Snowmobile Yamaha Viking 540 4.3 fuel consumption

By kanistra Posted on 01/02/2016

Yamaha Motor is a company that produces motorcycles using parts from aircraft. Over the long history of the company, its engineers expanded the range of equipment and began to produce all-terrain vehicles, namely jet skis, ATVs, scooters, and more recently snowmobiles have been added to the range. The latter are a huge success and are used not only for transporting goods in snowy areas, but also for participating in competitions.

Yamaha Viking 540 III

Fuel consumption rate per 100 km

The Viking 540-3 is a fairly powerful machine that is admired by many hunters and enthusiasts. The power of the snowmobile is 53 hp, the volume of air-cooled engines is 335 and 535 cubic meters. cm. Unlike its predecessor, model III has less weight, due to which it has great maneuverability. The 540 is equipped with a high-profile 508mm wide track. Fuel consumption per 100 km is 20 liters. Oil consumption per tank (31 liters) is 600 ml.

Real consumption

• Alexander, Murmansk. Yamaha Viking 540-3. When choosing, I broke almost my entire head. I bought a snowmobile for fun, so I didn't want to throw away a lot of money. That's how Viking came to me. I am completely satisfied with the purchase, I have already driven 3000 km and haven’t changed anything. Since I don’t drive very often, fuel consumption is not scary, about 22-23 liters, but this also depends on the speed you drive.
• Vladimir, Tomsk. Yamaha Viking 540 III 2009. I bought it new from an authorized dealer and still drive it periodically. I am completely satisfied with this all-terrain vehicle. Excellent cross-country ability, stable, comfortable for two, playful, although I regret that I didn’t take a more powerful one, I was afraid of high consumption. Consumption on my 335 cc is 17 liters per 100 km.
• Pavel, Tyumen. I bought a Viking in 2010 from a friend with low mileage. Model 540 III, 0.5 liters. This is quite a powerful device, I often go hunting with friends, and it is simply irreplaceable in such cases. Fuel consumption is low, about 20 liters. I drive calmly, quietly, so I invest in this figure calmly.
• Andrey, Novosibirsk. Yamaha VK 540 III, volume 535 cc, manufactured in 2010. I live in a large house with a huge yard, so I needed inexpensive and high-quality equipment for the household. I bought a used snowmobile in 2012 with low mileage. Since this is a working equipment for the home, I don’t see any special advantages; I often go to the forest for brushwood and firewood for the fireplace. It hasn’t broken down, a full tank lasts for two weeks in winter, it drives well and pulls a decent load.
• Vladimir, Tomsk region. I live in a small village and in winter it is impossible to get here by car. Therefore, the need arose to purchase a snowmobile. I bought an inexpensive used Yamaha Viking 540 III 2010, 335 cc. I purchased it only this year and this is my first experience of driving such a vehicle, so apart from the strong impression of high consumption, I can’t say anything - the engine consumes 18 liters per hundred. Apart from this, the all-terrain vehicle is quite satisfactory.
• Oleg, Myski. Yamaha Viking 540 III, 2010, 540 cc. This is my first such vehicle of this kind. Many friends have been riding snowmobiles for a long time, so I decided to join them. The engine is playful, there is enough power to chase, the cross-country ability is good, and maneuverable. Fuel consumption is a little tight - 24 liters per 100 km, and the oil also disappears before our eyes.
• Yaroslav, Tyumen. Yamaha Viking 540 3, 0.5 liters. Model 2010, purchased from an official dealer. I ride often, either hunting or with friends. A powerful device, good maneuverability, has not yet been repaired, and is already in its sixth year. I only underwent maintenance according to the regulations. Fuel consumption is 24-25 liters.

Yamaha Viking 540 IV

Technical data

The characteristics of the 4th generation differ little from its predecessor. Viking-4 has the same 53 hp, two-cylinder engine with two strokes and volumes of 335 and 535 cubic meters. Tank capacity is 31 liters. Due to the fact that the snowmobile itself has become a little shorter and lighter, it was possible to slightly reduce fuel consumption to 18.5 liters per 100 km, and oil consumption is now 520 ml. for one tank.

Owner reviews about consumption

• Yuri, Altai Territory. I bought a Viking 540 IV in December 2015 from a dealer I knew. Engine 535cc. During this time I managed to cover 28 kilometers. Fuel consumption according to documents is 19 liters. I can’t yet understand exactly how much it consumes, but I will say that I am quite pleased with the purchase.
• Evgeniy, Kemerovo. My friends and I were going on vacation to the mountains to ride and for the first time everyone decided to buy snowmobiles to ride. I chose a 535 cc Yamaha Viking 540 IV. I’m not particularly versed in this type of technology, but I must say that I haven’t encountered any inconvenience. Drives great, easy to drive. Fuel consumption according to the computer is 18.6 liters per 100 km. Model 2015.
• Igor, Novosibirsk. Yamaha Viking 540 4 (2014). I often travel this way, so I have become proficient in this type of transport. Before this there was a Fiat snowmobile. It’s not a bad device, but it’s already old and I needed something more modern and affordable, which is why I bought the Viking. I took the most powerful one with 53 horses, 535 cc. Excellent dynamics, easy to drive and economical compared to my previous one. Fuel consumption is 19 liters per hundred, and a tank of oil is enough for 4 tanks of gasoline.
• Dmitry, Kiselevsk. I really like to ride, so I often travel on this kind of transport. In 2014, I decided to buy a Viking 540 fourth, 0.5 liters. I bought a Yamaha because the motorcycle was of the same brand, and the discount applied to their equipment. I will say right away that I am a little dissatisfied in terms of the stability of the snowmobile. Of course, it quickly gains acceleration, but due to its reduced weight it is not very stable. Consumption per hundred did not exceed 21 liters, which is quite good; oil does not have to be added often.
• Igor, Myski. In 2013, I purchased a brand new Yamaha Viking 540 IV, 49 horses, 0.33 liter engine. I didn’t take the most powerful one, since I often don’t feel like refueling, and it’s quite suitable for household use. During this time I drove only 1000 km. Consumption according to the on-board computer is only 18 liters.
• Valery, Tomsk. I often have to travel on such vehicles, but since this is not the main type of transportation, I didn’t want to buy a very expensive snowmobile. Therefore, the choice fell on a used 2013 Yamaha Viking 540 IV. I am quite pleased with the purchase, it is a dynamic device, fuel consumption is 19 liters, oil consumption is 1:5.
• Anton, Novosibirsk. Yamaha Viking 540 (year – 2014). Frisky, 53 horses, excellent acceleration, you can drive well. I use it without fanaticism. The only drawback is its low stability, but this was avoided by installing ski extensions. Fuel consumption under normal operating conditions is 18 liters per 100 km.

Driving training... Vk540 iii 1999-2012

• First, lift the fuel enricher lever and open it fully if the engine is cold or halfway to warm up the power unit.
• Close the element if you decide to start a warm engine, turn the main switch to the “Start” position, release the switch and move the mixture enricher lever to the half-open position.
• Warm up the power unit until it stops running intermittently or runs steadily while the mixture enricher lever is returned to the “closed” mode.

Chassis features

The snowmobile is able to move smoothly through snow 20 inches deep thanks to its massive and powerful 3,962 millimeter long tracks. They are driven by parallel suspension rails with an articulated rear section. Excellent snow traction is provided by the ProAction Plus suspension with an improved track. The rear suspension hinges give the track flexibility and minimize the appearance of deep ruts when reversing in deep snow. Owners of the Yamaha Viking Professional in their reviews note the usefulness and practicality of this function.

The massiveness and large dimensions of the snowmobile's design 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 uses a special tunnel to create enough space to accommodate the suspension and wide tracks. This design allowed engineers to install a wide and long seat and luggage compartment underneath.

The advantage of the Viking Professional snowmobile is the removable rear passenger seat, which, however, has long been standard for Yamaha snowmobiles.

The snowmobile has received new parts: the suspension has new settings, the exterior has changed. To improve the responsiveness of control and the efficiency of movement, manufacturers have built a high-power engine into the Yamaha Viking 540 snowmobile, and the stroke of the hydraulic shock absorber located in the front has been changed - it has been increased to 150 mm.

Test drive Yamaha VK540 III Viking

Yamaha VK540 III Viking is one of the most popular snowmobiles in Russia among foreign vehicles. But last year, Rybinsk launched its new snowmobile “RM Taiga-Varyag 550” to the market. The goal is not hidden: to squeeze out the Japanese Viking in the domestic market.

Who are the real Vikings and Varangians and what do they have in common? Let the experts of the early Middle Ages figure it out. Snowmobiles Yamaha VK540 III Viking and Taiga-Varyag 550 are almost twins in their technical characteristics.

Production of the Yamaha VK540 began somewhere in the early 90s of the last century. The model was last upgraded in 2001, and the third generation Yamaha VK540 III Viking is now on sale. "Taiga-Varyag 550", according to the Hamburg account, is also a device designed far from from scratch. The first Taiga rolled off the production line at the turn of 1998–1999. The snowmobile was designed in the image and likeness of the Bombardier Skandic 1996 model year. In mid-1998, there was talk about organizing a joint Canadian-Russian enterprise. However, the financial crisis struck and Russian Mechanics and Bombardier (BRP did not exist at that time) parted ways like ships at sea. Nevertheless, Rybinsk businessmen brought the Taiga project to mass production. Today there is a whole family of “taiga” snowmobiles on the market: “Taiga-Classic” (38 hp, price 189,000 rubles), “Taiga-Lux” with lever front suspension (55 hp, price 212,600 rubles .), “Taiga-Attack” (65 hp, price 241,600 rub.), “Taiga-Patrol” 550 SWT (55 hp, price 228,200 rub.). In principle, with minor reservations, all these machines, especially, in my opinion, the Taiga Patrol with a 600 mm wide SWT (Super WideTrake) track, can be considered potential competitors of the Yamaha Viking. Meanwhile, this seemed not enough, and it was decided to create a real clone of the VK540 III Viking (in terms of technical characteristics) and enter into open competition with Yamaha. And the struggle is worth the candle. Every year, such utilitarian machines are sold in the price category of 200,000–300,000 rubles. About 2,000 units are sold in Russia. Rybinsk snowmobile builders are not going to give away such an enviable “piece of the pie” just like that. Moreover, in recent years the situation has clearly not been developing in their favor. The popularity of foreign cars is growing steadily. That is why the Taiga-Varyag model was thrown into battle against the most dangerous and experienced opponent - the Yamaha VK540 III Viking.

Taiga-Varyag and Viking are equipped with 2-stroke, 2-cylinder air-cooled power plants. Each has one Mikuni carburetor. The engine power of the Japanese snowmobile is 46 hp. s., for the domestic one - 50 l. With. The advantage of 4 “horses” is purely formal. The Varyag is not superior to the Viking either in terms of acceleration dynamics or maximum speed. Moreover, from a purely personal impression, the Rybinsk engine is inferior to its Japanese counterpart in terms of traction at low speeds and shows a much greater fuel appetite. Offhand and very roughly - about 30-32 liters per 100 km versus 22-25 liters for the Viking. Apparently, it’s no accident that our “fighter” has a 7-liter larger fuel tank. It is clear that gasoline consumption depends on the snow, driving style, carb settings, etc., etc. But the fact that the Varyag is more gluttonous is for sure.

Test drive Yamaha VK Professional 2: eternal values

At the height of last year's snowmobile season, I received an unexpected invitation to travel to the city of Surgut. It was there, in the gas capital of Russia, that Yamaha decided to arrange a world premiere of the new generation of its most “hard-working” snowmobile – the Yamaha VK Professional 2. The first generation of the “professional”, or “proshka”, as domestic snowmobilers dubbed it, was born (or on snow) ten years ago, and since then the RS Viking Professional - that’s what the first generation of the car was officially called - has been produced without major modifications. Although the machine had an impressive weight and price, it gained incredible popularity among those who use snowmobiles for work often and in large quantities.

The first “professional” had a four-stroke three-cylinder engine with a displacement of 973 cc. cm and developed a power of about 115 hp. With. and a torque of about 102 Nm (Yamaha generally does not like to give exact figures for the power and torque of its equipment). The snowmobile turned out to be very heavy, but very well cut and tightly sewn, one might even say, somewhat shabby. It is this “cast iron”, reliability and reliability that made it so popular.

The first generation RS Viking Progessional in a limited Sochi edition, named after the games in Sochi.

Vox populi in technology

Time passed, and the company decided to update the flagship of its utilitarian line. However, buyers of this type of equipment are unlikely to be seduced by the new design, “mulks” and bright colors of plastic. These machines are bought for work, which means that ease of use, ergonomics, reliability and other very boring indicators are at the forefront.

Yamaha decided that it would be reasonable to ask the users themselves what changes they would like to see in the updated machine. A survey was conducted among the owners of the first generation of the firmware, after which a team of professionals from Japan and Russia began developing technical specifications for the new device. Yes, VK Pro 2 was created with the direct participation of domestic snowmobilers, which, of course, cannot but warm the souls of patriots.

Function guarding style

The new car also received a new appearance, but in this case the eternal battle between designers and engineers was outright won by the latter, and the new design is 100% practical. Every bend of the hood and trim is completely dictated by purely applied requirements. It seems that the designers were allowed to approach the layout only at the last stage, and even then they were only allowed to choose the colors of the case, without, however, allowing them to have a blast. For 2016, there are only two colors in the palette - gray and burgundy metallic.

The new hood is flatter and sharper. A kind of gap has appeared under the headlight (by the way, almost all manufacturers have come to this design move a long time ago), which facilitates effective self-cleaning of the headlight from snow. The old car had the sin of accumulating a whole snowdrift on its headlights and on the hood when driving through deep virgin soil. I had to stop and clear the snow from the optics. Now this problem is gone.

Ergonomist engineers also seriously worked on the aerodynamic component of the snowmobile. After all, on a long journey, when you spend many hours in the saddle, it is very important that “it doesn’t blow anywhere.” Previously, no one thought about this at such a serious level - they just put the glass higher and that’s it. The new “proshka” has undergone a series of tests in a wind tunnel, and the shape of its plastic is adapted to ensure that the air currents do not swirl in front of the pilot. This not only makes the ride “warmer”, but also eliminates the possibility of snow sweeping into the cockpit, on the instruments and the pilot’s knees, and also reduces fuel consumption.

It must be said that the saying “an ugly plane won’t fly” worked the other way around here: the design, completely subordinated to function, turned out to be beautiful too! So this “plane” flies, and how!

Under the hood

No less changes have occurred in the engine compartment. Given the similarity of the layout - three cylinders in a row - a completely new engine was registered here. Now the role of the “heart” of the snowmobile is played by a three-cylinder naturally aspirated in-line engine of the Genesis EFi family with a displacement of 1,049 cc. cm and equipped with a fuel injection system (the previous version of the “professional” had carburetors). The power and torque of the new engine have increased, not to say revolutionary: by about 7 hp. With. and 10 Nm, but the power and torque curves have increased throughout the entire range, which means that under the same loads the engine will spin less and consume less fuel. Such is the paradox. The manufacturer promises that thanks to all these factors, fuel consumption will decrease by 6% compared to the previous car. Coupled with an increase in the volume of the fuel tank from 40 to 44 liters, this can give a noticeable increase in the autonomy of the machine, which is very important for a workhorse.

The creators also took care of the thermal load of the motor. The snowmobile received a new, more efficient cooling radiator, the heat from which flows to the pilot’s feet. It is now almost impossible to overheat the engine. In any case, during our test the air temperature was close to zero, and we were unable to bring the motor out of thermal “equilibrium”, no matter how hard we tried.

Negative reviews – Operational purpose

, and any other Russian oil M8;M12 MS20 is preferable just to mix into the tank, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the car is simply super better and does not need reliable maneuverability and an usable speed, in general, for hunting this speed is completely sufficient, but higher is no longer safe for life, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that this model has been in use for absolutely 3 years and has not had any problems, only the spark plugs have been changed, as if it were new, it will still carry you around, but the main thing is that the equipment is good, at least better than the Scandic, and it is cheaper to maintain, and the most economical internal combustion engine among 2-stroke engines , on the plus side, I also went hunting, killed a moose, and we drove him out of the forest on a sled and on a lowered vehicle without any problems. In principle, with minor reservations, all these machines, especially, in my opinion, the Taiga-Patrol with a 600 mm wide SWT Super WideTrake track, can be considered potential competitors of the Yamaha Viking.

Snowmobile Features

"Yamaha Viking Professional 2" is equipped with a three-cylinder, four-stroke engine with a volume of 1 liter. The total power of the engine is 120 horsepower thanks to the innovative technologies used in its creation.

The snowmobile is equipped with a wide and long track, which significantly exceeds its analogues in terms of characteristics, which allows the vehicle to easily overcome off-road conditions, tow sleds or transport large loads.

We are starting to accept engines for repairs. Getting ready for the season!

, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that it doesn’t matter what anyone likes, if my friend and I bought a Yamaha at a dealership and drove 400 km, then my friend’s speed didn’t hold up, there was no traction, and I worked like a swallow, and even after running it in, I’m running 100 km per hour and my friend can’t even have 80, I’d like to draw your attention to the fact that men put ngk br8 instead of the left spark plug right away, from the factory they have ngk br9 usually the left spark plug is thrown at the br8 itself in the left cylinder at the moment I’ve completely forgotten about the dilemma with spark plugs, and Naturally, the caterpillar often flies off, and the rear shock absorber has stopped working or the spring needs to be tightened; one of the downsides is that the Yamaha is an amazing machine, only some riders need to change the gasket between the steering wheel and the seat. This improved model has features such as a powerful engine, an air-cooled system, a new torsion bar rear suspension, wide skis, and tracks.

Placement of cargo.

The RS Viking Professional's tall, wide seat with integrated luggage compartment sits above the ProAction Plus rear suspension and 3,962mm track. The RS Viking's rear passenger seat section is removable, creating more space for luggage in the rear cargo area. Open the seat cover and there's a spacious underseat storage area for storing rope, tools, a hand winch, or just a snack.

Temperature sensor Yamaha Viking

About temperature sensors, tuning and repair of snowmobiles!

Snowmobile Temperature Gauge Whale Kit Moto Thermometer

Details Created 07/10/2010 16:27 Author: Alexander Heinz

A 2011 Yamaha Viking 540 snowmobile was selected to install engine temperature sensors. Although the presence of this particular snowmobile was not fundamental. Because this temperature sensor is easily installed on all utilitarian class snowmobiles - Taiga, Lynx, Buran, or any other air-cooled snowmobile. The main differences are the location of the temperature display indicator and the reading elements themselves. With the help of comments and photographs, we will consider installing a Moto thermometer kit kit.

Example of tools you will need:

• Knife with thin blade
• Metal blade or any other fine-tooth file
• Nippers, pliers
• Stranded wire 3 - 4 meters (for power supply)
• Soldering iron, solder
• Set of drills
• Electrical tape What else will become clear as you read the article

Let's move on to the process and remove the glass from the case, which is held in place by four internal latches. We place the blade of the knife under the glass at the corners, acting as a mounting tool. Without fanaticism - if you bend it too much, the glass may burst!

There are a couple of extra elements in the case that need to be removed. In our case, they were bitten out with nippers and then the indicators were placed in the housing. Having brought the wires out through the back wall, we installed the glass in place.

Acting according to the attached diagram, we soldered the radioelements supplied in the “Moto - Thermometer” kit kit. It came in two versions, any will do

The Yamaha Viking snowmobile was under warranty at the time the engine temperature sensors were installed. Therefore, the sensors were installed under the spark plug using special elements. The process is not complicated and took about ten minutes

Upon completion of inserting the device body into the snowmobile panel, we connected the power through the ignition switch and installed temperature sensors under the spark plug

This is what the final result of the work done to install temperature sensors on a Yamaha Viking 540 snowmobile looks like. The whole procedure took a little more than one hour

Recommendations for installing temperature sensors

When mounting the device body into the snowmobile's instrument panel, keep in mind: the installation location should always be in front of your eyes, without obstructing your view, with little exposure to air turbulence - when moving, the snowmobile raises snow dust, which settles differently in different parts of the snowmobile. When cutting out a space for the body in a snowmobile panel, remember the proverb “measure 7 times, cut once.” The laying of wires is carried out using frequent fixing laying or the wires should be placed in additional protection such as a cambric. The insulation of the wires is negligible; vibration frays, which leads to a short circuit. When extending the sensor wires (if necessary), take into account that the temperature sensor is polar and make the connection in accordance with the polarity. The connections should be soldered and insulated; wires should not be mounted on twisted wires. It is possible to do without soldering by using electric wires to connect them. automotive type connectors. In the future, such a connection is more convenient for repair work, as it allows the components of the device to be easily removable. Note! The sensor wires are heat-resistant - they can withstand the operating temperature of the engine, but not the exhaust manifold. They can be extended using any wire, without exceeding the resistance of each wire of 5 Ohms. Regardless of the sensor installation method, it is useful to isolate the protruding parts of the sensor shell (brass sleeve) from the incoming air flow. For example, by using a piece of cambric that will reduce heat loss, the same method can be used when installing the sensor under the spark plug. Power supply - connect temperature sensors in accordance with the device installation manual. The power connection via the ignition switch is most often used. How? On the ignition switches, there is a terminal on which there is no voltage at the moments when the key is turned off, the key is turned to the electric operating position. starter, but is present when the ignition is on or the engine is running. Thus, the ignition switch functions as a switch. The power supply circuit is quite simple: power is supplied through separate wires from the battery terminals - the ignition switch - the circuit that you soldered - the device. If there is no ignition switch, it is possible to use a separate toggle switch. If there is no battery, it is permissible to connect to the step-down terminals of a standard voltage stabilizer. Please clearly remember that the device is not designed to be connected to an alternating current network, or directly to the engine magneto, bypassing the standard voltage stabilizer. Also, it should not be connected to the old type of rectifier devices of Russian technology such as VU.
