I have owned my '83 Vmax since 1989, and have found it to be one of the most pleasant, easy steering sleds, so it can definitely be done.
But, it is the only TSS sled I have ever ridden, so can't speak to any of the other models.
When the '83 SRV and Vmax came out, they included a new rear suspension...the "Pro Action"..which was a great improvement compared to earlier rear skids from Yamaha.
The Pro Action skid is fully adjustable, with a coil over shock at both the front and rear swing arms.
You can dial up the spring tension on the front coil spring to set the ski pressure as you desire, and adjust the spring tension on the rear coil spring to get the desired ride stiffness.
The limiter strap at the front of the rear skid is also adjustabe, and can be lengthened to reduce ski pressure.
As with any sled, checking and lubricating all the moving parts of the steering system helps.
There is a grease zerk at a pivot point on each ski strut, down just above the chrome part of the ski leg. There is a bearing in there, and it is a definite help to grease it periodically.
If you can jack the front of the sled up to get the skis off the ground, and check that the steering moves very easily, lock to lock, you should be able to play with the skids front spring pre-load and the limiter strap length and dial in the ski pressure from very heavy and aggressive, down to very light and easy steering.
