The proven 1,049cc three-cylinder engine that makes up the breathtaking 2022 Yamaha VK Professional II with its wide track meets the needs of this high performance, high quality snowmobile, which is capable of performing a wide variety of tasks with ease. A host of methodical improvements over the years have made the VK Pro one of the most reliable snowmobiles available. Every part of this snowmobile is packed with the quality, durability and dependability of the Yamaha brand – that’s Yamaha’s promise to you for long-term satisfaction.
2022 Yamaha VK Professional II – HIGHLIGHTS
- This reliable Yamaha-branded three-cylinder engine features an advanced Yamaha-only fuel injection system that pumps out fuel with clockwork precision for exemplary performance, sipping fuel and starting in the blink of an eye, no matter where you are. Its big, linear power curve delivers instant thrust from almost any speed, while its torque curve delivers prodigious power to tow heavy loads… all backed by Yamaha’s proven reliability.
- Yamaha was the first manufacturer to equip its snowmobiles with electric power steering. Its speed-sensing system provides maximum power assistance at low speeds, and almost no power assistance at high speeds. In addition to significantly reducing steering effort, the system also mitigates the negative effects of feedback, helping to avoid grueling steering efforts due to ground feedback.
- The mirrors reflect a wide field of vision, so you can easily see what’s going on behind your machine. These mirrors are mounted inside the windshield and are protected from damage.
- The easy-to-read and easy-to-operate digital instruments keep track of all the vital engine and snowmobile details, and feature beneficial features such as hour meter, odometers, clock and more.
- Extend your rides and push the limits of your work… the huge 44-liter fuel tank won’t leave you empty-handed!
- The VK Professional II’s seat is designed specifically for comfort and convenience. The rider is well positioned in relation to the controls of the snowmobile, easily getting on and off the snowmobile, and is more comfortable.
- Carrying large, bulky loads – both for work and play – is one of the VK Professional II’s greatest strengths. A large rack easily accommodates plenty of gear, whether you’re hauling groceries to camp, tools to the construction site or ice fishing gear to the warming hut.
PERFORMANCE
- One minute the Hi/Lo range transmission with reverse is a workhorse, the next minute it’s a real all-rounder on the trail. Just move the lever to switch from the “normal” range (Hi) for fun rides to the low range (Lo) for hauling heavy loads.
- The wide skis increase lift off the beaten path, while their high-tech keel provides predictable handling and easy maneuvering.
- In addition to its hard-working design, the rugged wrap-around bumper protects against bumps that are commonplace while you go about your daily tasks.
MANIABILITY
- The coupled suspension features two amortos; simply move the lever on the highly efficient torsion spring to adapt it for solo or companion riding, or for carrying heavy loads. A 40mm body, high pressure gas cell (HPGC) shock absorber provides exceptional control, resistance to sagging and long-lasting durability.
2022 Yamaha VK Professional II – COMFORT
- A wraparound windshield, both wide and high, provides excellent protection from the elements and branches on the trail. It was tested in a wind tunnel to refine the design to reduce annoying negative vortices and create a large shelter for rider and passenger comfort.
- Rain or shine, the easy-to-use electric starter activates instantly and hassle-free; the “old school” launch cord is a thing of the past!
- In addition to the myriad of on-board convenience features and built-in storage, the VK Professional II comes with a factory-installed tow hitch on the back of the sled. It’s ready to haul your day’s gear or do some tricky work.
- With its articulating seat, the VK Professional II speaks volumes about its work ethic. The large storage area under the seat holds a tool kit and many other items as well.
- The wide and comfortable two-seater comes standard with an integrated backrest.
- The 20 x 154 inch Cobra track, with its 1.5 inch lugs, is designed to maximize its footprint on the snow with confidence-inspiring lift in deep snow, and to deliver Herculean pulling power. Its bars are ideal for low-speed travel or heavy hauling – very common situations that utility snowmobiles are often called upon to perform in.
- The front suspension’s “curved” gull-wing delta arms increase ground clearance, reducing the risk of hitting snow-bound rocks, tree trunks and other debris when venturing off-road or into unknown terrain.
- Coil-sprung front amortos are calibrated to handle both heavy puncture loads and grueling off-road riding, as well as to make trail riding a pleasure.
