Yamaha Viking 700 Engine Rebuild Service (2014–2018)

The Yamaha Viking 700 is built to handle long days and tough conditions. However, as miles and hours add up, engine wear can lead to reduced power, rough operation, and inconsistent performance. Instead of patching issues one at a time, a full rebuild restores your engine so it runs smooth and dependable again.

At REV6, we fully tear down your engine, inspect every component, and correct wear where needed. Then we rebuild it using proper tolerances and refreshed internals. As a result, your Viking delivers steady torque and reliable performance whether you’re working or riding.

What Gets Rebuilt

This rebuild focuses on restoring sealing, correcting clearances, and improving long-term durability.

• Complete teardown and inspection of all internal components
• Cylinder head cleaned, decked, rebuilt, and set to specification
• Valve guides inspected and replaced when needed
• Valves and seats recut and vacuum tested for proper sealing
• Camshaft components cleaned, polished, and inspected
• Refurbished crankshaft
• Cylinder block inspected, bored, and honed or re-sleeved as needed
• New pistons and rings installed
• Timing chain inspected and replaced when needed
• All bearings cleaned and properly lubricated
• Engine cases inspected for cracks, wear, and integrity
• All gaskets and seals replaced
• Final assembly torqued to factory specifications

Note: Final build details may vary depending on the condition of your core.

Built to Stay Reliable

Once clearances are corrected and sealing is restored, the engine runs smoother and holds consistent power. Because of that, your Viking stays dependable through long workdays and extended trail use.

Double Inspection Process

Every engine is built by one technician and then checked by another before shipping. This extra step helps ensure everything is correct before it leaves our shop.

Warranty Coverage

Every engine includes a 1-year warranty. In addition, you can upgrade to a 2-year no-fault plan for added protection.

Review full details on our warranty policy.

Core Options

This rebuild requires either your engine core or a refundable $1200 core deposit. Once your core passes inspection, the deposit is returned in full. If damage goes beyond normal wear, deductions may apply.

If you prefer, you can send your core in first and avoid the deposit. We’ll inspect it and confirm the next steps.

Looking for Parts Instead?

If you’re not replacing the full engine, you can find crankshafts, pistons, cylinders, gaskets, seals, valves, and top or bottom end rebuild kits in our
Yamaha Viking 700 parts catalog.

If you’re unsure what direction to go, contact our team and we’ll help you figure it out.
