Sorry if this is a duplicate. According to my dealer this sound kit will be available in September. Yamaha is having the dealers install the kit on all new 2015 Vikings. The kit also will work on the 2014. Retails for about $75, and dealer cost is about $50. My dealer went to a recent show, and saw the kit in action. According to him him it really works. I have ordered one from him.
LOL, thats cause i bought a bunch of soundproofing materials awhile back to do mine, i still may get the Yamaha kit, see how it works for that price. Im happy with how mine turned out.
I took my viking to the dealer this morning for the 20 hour service. They had one of the new kits a rep dropped off. They are putting it on my viking. I'll let you know how well it works.
the one you installed is for the viking 6, the other ones will be here next month for 2014 vikings , 2015 vikings will all ready on them when dealers get them
The sound damping kit does make a good difference. I paid $200 for the install. They gave me kit free. The dept manager wasn't there today. I will call him tomarrow about the kit part number. I know it wasn't even in inventory yet
I spoke with the service manager today. It seems this part number is an internal production used by Yamaha. He thinks an actual part number for ordering will come out in the. next couple of weeks.
I'm curious on how well this works. I did a make shift kit out of rubber horse stall mat. Works good but was wondering if this would work even better and fit perfectly.
Just got my new sound kit put on this week ($115 Total Price). The kit does get rid of a lot of noise. Perviously added the ATV Silencer, and the Heavy Duty Yamaha Floor Mats and we now can talk inside the cab without problem. I figure about 80% of the noise is gone. Sounds more like ATV. However, who cares would not get rid of "Man Child" for anything !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, other than the crap instructions, the kit is very nice and worth every penny! Instructions were poor, just look at the pic on the last page and it will all make sense. Yamaha should be giving these away to people because it should have been installed at the factory. Wife and I took a ride last night and were able to have a conversation while running through the woods. I'm still going to add some additional sound proofing, but I am VERY pleased!
because I insulated over top of all that. 1/2" under seats and 2" on the back wall
