2000 Viking w/ only 250 miles.... New to Me!

[mtnbkr738]

Hi all.
I picked up this brand new old sled. Looks and runs perfect.

I need some help:

1) where do i get manual for it?
2) what does the "III" in the model name stand for?
3) Id like to replace the fuel lines- anyone have any pictures of how to route them? (I think previous owner didnt route one correctly as its rubbing the drive shaft)
Thanks

I believe that's 2001 VK540 III , its just the name but helps find the correct year. Manuals are for VIP members and can send you one if you become one.. Follow this link: https://totallyamaha.com/Totallyamaha/Store/vip.htm

welcome!

that is the 3rd model of the vk 540. the only difference between III and the II is the rear suspension other than the colour/graphics. the later III did have plastic skis from factory.

both my vk540 and my vk540 III are in storage away from the house so it might take me a bit to get a pic. sounds like it might be missing a hold down/clamp as i seem to remeber it going underneath the jack shaft. got no pics from engine bay on my 11 when i tore it down as i just checked my phone for some.
