Chassis / Suspension

• POWER STEERING: Yamaha’s proven electric power steering system on the Viking EPS offers excellent handling over all kinds of terrain, with lower steering effort for reduced fatigue after a long day in the field.
• EXCELLENT GROUND CLEARANCE: A maximum 11.8-inch ground clearance delivers underbelly protection while enhancing terrainability. The Viking EPS’ width also helps minimize 30” row crop damage.
• POWERFUL, CONTROLLABLE BRAKES: Large diameter front and rear wheel disc brakes provide unsurpassed stopping power, and the dash-mounted parking brake is simple and convenient to use, with a buzzer to notify the driver if the parking brake is accidentally left engaged.
• HEFTY TOWING CAPABILITY: Standard center-mounted, heavy-duty 2-inch receiver-style hitch can tow up to 1500 pounds.
• SECURE DOORS: Tough, rotomolded doors help keep mud, water and dirt on the trail where they belong, with robust automotive latches for years of reliable service.
• CONVENIENT CARGO BED: Stamped steel dump bed is rated to haul 600 pounds of gear and features tie-down hooks to ensure cargo is strapped down securely. The cargo bed can be unlatched and tilted from either side when needed, too. The bed rails have integrated mounting points to make installing genuine Yamaha accessories that much easier.
• RUBBER CARGO BED MAT: Rubber cargo bed mat further reduces noise and vibration while improving durability and providing extra holding power for cargo.

Engine

• TORQUEY 700-CLASS ENGINE: The Viking EPS is equipped with Yamaha’s powerful 686cc engine with a broad, usable powerband. Liquid-cooling provides consistent performance, a four-valve head with 10.0:1 compression delivers optimum torque for virtually any workload, and up to a 30% gain in fuel efficiency compared to comparable two-valve designs.
• YAMAHA FUEL INJECTION: Electronic fuel injection ensures peak performance in nearly all conditions and elevations, along with instantaneous cold starts and smooth response.
• EFFICIENT INTAKE SYSTEM: Large-capacity air intake system contributes to the engine’s overall power development. Air injection system burns the un-combusted elements in the exhaust, resulting in even further reduced emissions.
• CLEAN-RUNNING DRIVE CASE: Specially designed drive system air intake helps prevent overheating and assists in keeping water and debris from entering the drive case.
• GATED SHIFTER: Convenient dash-mounted gated shift lever (L/H/N/R) provides simple Ultramatic transmission operation.
