ALL-NEW YAMAHA MT-09

MT re-loaded
The 2014 model year marks the debut of what is surely one of the most significant new models to be launched by Yamaha in recent years. As well as representing the beginning of a new direction in sport bike evolution, this new machine represents the re-ignition of those forces that shaped the first generation MT models.

With its strong focus on heightened riding emotion, multi-faceted character, naked mass-forward style and outstanding all-round agility, this motorcycle takes Yamaha into new territory.

Created by the same team of engineers that changed the face of the supersport world with the original R1, the all-new MT-09 is ready to challenge the status quo and bring a new kind of performance, together with increased riding emotion and provocative new-wave design to the street.

The embodiment of passion
Ask a selection of riders what Yamaha means to them and you'll get many different answers. Older riders will tell you Yamaha means high-performance 2-stroke twins. Trail riders will say XT or Ténéré. And supersport fans will surely regard the R-series as the bikes that define Yamaha.

Of course, they are all right. Because Yamaha means different things to different people. But there is another word that will always be associated with Yamaha. That word is passion. We build motorcycles because we are motorcyclists. We are totally committed to the two-wheeled world. Just take a look at some of the models we have built over the years and it is clear that they are more than machines. They embody the very soul of the designers and engineers that created them.

Only Yamaha could have produced bikes like the XT500, RD350, Ténéré, VMAX and R1. And only Yamaha could be the driving force behind the new MT-09.

Thrilling torque, leading power-to-weight and naked motard style

Since we built our first motorcycle, the two-wheeled world has changed beyond recognition. Rapidly advancing technology has brought previously unattainable levels of engine and chassis performance to the street. The new Yamaha MT-09 represents the next step in sport bike development. Light, powerful and delivering thrilling performance in everyday conditions, the MT-09 is ready to bring an exciting and addictive new dimension to sport riding.

This 850cc 3-cylinder naked motard-style design is a new kind of animal in the two-wheeled jungle that combines strength with guile. Above all else, the MT-09 is about emotion, character, excitement, agility and control. Its surge of raw, linear torque is available instantly throughout the rev range for adrenaline-charged acceleration.

At the same time as having a wave of characterful torque waiting to be unleashed, this revolutionary new 3-cylinder bike also pushes out serious quantities of class-leading horsepower to give the MT-09 a leading power-to-weight ratio in the upper mid class. Weighing in at less than a Yamaha YZF-R6, this light, powerful and agile motorcycle will prove to be a revelation to those riders brought up on more conventional designs.

Building on the charismatic mass-forward look pioneered by the original MT models, its lightweight naked body shows off the compact engine and focuses attention on the muscular motard look that emphasizes the bike's dynamic image.

The arrival of the MT-09 marks more than just a new chapter in Yamaha's evolution. This new-wave 3-cylinder naked motard offers an exciting new alternative for those riders who understand what the shape of a torque curve means. And sport riding is never going to be the same again.

Inspired by the dark side of Japan
While some onlookers may see Japan as a traditional and respectful society where conformity is the norm, behind this stereotypical image lies a vibrant sub-culture where new fashions and ideas are constantly emerging. From the spectacle of drift racing through to the insanity of Japanese speedway, the other side of Japanese society has been responsible for some wild and wonderful trends. The same creative forces that drive the darker and unconventional side of Japan have inspired and shaped the unique and original MT-09, which is about to change the sport motorcycle world.

MT-09: The next generation sport bike
Raw torque. Motard control. Naked soulbeat. A new excitement.
MT-09 is much more than a next generation sport bike. This game-changing machine represents a whole new direction for Yamaha. With a focus on strong torque delivery, agile handling and total controllability, this all-new 3-cylinder motorcycle is built to deliver exciting and enjoyable motorcycling.

Yamaha now believe that it's time to offer European riders the opportunity to experience a compact high-torque mid-class sport machine that is designed to bring new levels of engine and chassis performance to the street.

The company's decision to diversify into the 3-cylinder class reflects the fact that very many of today's sport riders place a great emphasis on engine character and everyday driveability. While there will always be a place in the market for high-powered 4-cylinder motorcycles, Yamaha believe that the 3-cylinder layout used in the new MT-09 opens up a new world of possibilities.

By combining the best characteristics of both the 4-cylinder engine and the parallel twin, the new lightweight Yamaha 3-cylinder unit offers a new and exciting riding experience to those customers who may be either moving up from the 600cc class, or down from the one-litre class.

Producing class leading torque and high levels of horsepower, together with a throaty exhaust note, this easy-handling mid-class motorcycle takes the sport category into new territory.

European sport bike market background
Within the European marketplace, the demand for sport bikes accounts for around 40% of all sales, making it the largest sector. Despite the economic slowdown in Europe, this particular class has seen strong sales, and Yamaha believe that this trend is set to continue, especially in the 700cc - 999cc class.

A growing number of riders in Europe are appreciating the attractions of a owning a sport bike. Their upright riding position makes them ideal for everyday use together with weekend sport and leisure riding, and their power and handling character makes the easy to handle in a variety of situations.

2014 Yamaha MT-09 Total Motorcycle Features and Benefits

MT-09 ENGINE

Compact and lightweight liquid-cooled 3-cylinder engine

Without a doubt the most significant feature on the new MT-09 is its all-new 3-cylinder engine, which is the key element that shapes the fundamental character and feel of this new mid-class sport bike. The goals during the intensive development programme were to create a compact and lightweight 3-cylinder engine producing a raw but linear torque output together with strong high rpm power. Attention was also focused closely on achieving a satisfying intake and exhaust note, as well as creating a visually attractive powerplant that would enhance pride of ownership. Furthermore, the MT-09 development team also placed great emphasis on achieving high levels of economy together with good environmental performance.
Featuring a bore and stroke of 78mm x 59.1mm to give a displacement of 847cc, this all-new 4-stroke DOHC 4-valve engine runs with a compression ratio of 11.5:1. Intake valve diameter is 31mm, while exhaust valve diameter is 25mm, and by setting the valves at a narrow angle of only 26.5 degrees, our engineers have been able to keep the combustion chambers ultra-compact for quicker combustion processes and higher torque output.

Forged aluminium pistons are fitted with fracture split (FS) connecting rods for added engineering precision, and the 78mm diameter pistons run in direct-plated cylinders which ensure effective heat dissipation. The MT-09 is also significant for the fact that it is the first multi-cylinder production Yamaha motorcycle to utilize an offset cylinder design.

Yamaha's 'crossplane philosophy' for linear torque output
The MT-09's all-new 3-cylinder engine has been developed to embody the essence of Yamaha's 'crossplane philosophy' which is designed to ensure instant throttle response together with strong low to mid-range torque. One of the inherent characteristics of the 3-cylinder engine design is its linear torque output, and it is this strong and responsive power delivery that defines the fundamental character of the new MT-09.

The all-new engine runs with a 120º crank that delivers a regularly-spaced firing sequence at 0º, 240º and 480º, and it is these even firing intervals that ensure a linear delivery of the massive levels of available torque, together with an exciting and satisfying high rpm power feeling. Compared to an in-line 4-cylinder engine with a 180º crank, the MT-09's 3-cylinder powerplant transmits a stronger feeling of combustion torque to the rider because its combustion torque waves and composite torque waves are virtually identical.

The MT-09's 3-cylinder design is also inherently lighter, slimmer and more compact when compared to parallel 4-cylinder designs, being around 10kg less than the Yamaha FZ8. This has given our designers greater freedom to produce a correspondingly compact and agile-handling sports chassis. Overall engine width has also been minimized by pressure inserting the gears on the crank web, a process which allows the space between the cylinders to be reduced.

Compact counter-balancer for smoother running
To minimize unwanted vibration while still allowing MT-09 riders to enjoy the engine's strong power pulses, the powerplant is equipped with a primary coupled-force counter rotating balancer.

All-new 6-speed transmission with optimized ratios
In order to maximize the potential of the engine's linear torque output, Yamaha's engineers have developed an all-new transmission which is specifically designed to match the unique engine character of the MT-09. To handle the wave of low to mid-range torque, the MT-09 runs with a relatively high primary reduction ratio of 1.708 (FZ8 = 1.512), and both the secondary reduction ratio and also the ratios of the 6 gears are also set to optimize the bike's driveability in everyday riding conditions. The new transmission complements both the engine's instantaneous throttle response as well as its strong low to mid-range torque, to give rapid acceleration and a sporty and exciting riding experience.

Yamaha's designers have also focused their efforts on space efficiency, and the new 6-speed transmission is very compact. Together with the reduced dimensions of the 3-cylinder engine, this new gearbox design has allowed the use of a light and compact chassis.

Fuel Injection (FI)
The Fuel Injection (FI) system features twelve-hole injectors which are designed to deliver an atomized fuel spray with a droplet size of only a few microns. These injectors are attached directly to the 4-valve cylinder head, a design which ensures the highly precise injection of fuel directly at the valve skirt to give good fuel efficiency. An added advantage of positioning the injectors directly onto the head is that it allows the use of shorter throttle bodies which contribute towards achieving high rpm intake efficiency.

240km-plus riding range
Another significant aspect of the fuel system is the use of a compact and lightweight fuel pump, which allows the use of a slim 14-litre fuel tank. With its efficient fuel injection system and YCC-T, the MT-09 offers a potential range from the 14-litre tank of 240km or more depending on the conditions.

Unequal length intake funnels

Another feature which is designed to enhance the engine's strong torque characteristics is the downdraft intake system which utilizes three intake funnels of unequal length. The first funnel is 102.8mm long, the second is 82.8mm and the third is 122.8mm, and these different intake passage lengths create slightly different conditions in each cylinder head to create complementary power and torque curves. Combined with the highly efficient torque-boosting YCC-T system, these intake funnels help to make the MT-09 such a versatile and enjoyable motorcycle which feels at home whether commuting to work in the week or going for a Sunday morning run on twisty country roads. There's also the added bonus that these unequal length funnels also make a gutsy intake sound which, together with the exhaust system, gives the MT-09 a unique and sensual sound.

Efficient Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T)
Yamaha's engineers set out to build a motorcycle that would deliver instant engine response in order to achieve high levels of rider/machine unity. One of the major factors in being able to achieve this level of controllability is the use of a Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) which is derived from our YZF-R series supersport models. This 'fly-by-wire' system senses every throttle action made by the rider, and the ECU instantaneously actuates the throttle valve to give an immediate engine response. Such is the speed of this chip controlled system that it gives the feeling that the MT-09's engine is an extension of the rider's right wrist that can be controlled at will, giving added riding confidence - particularly when instant acceleration is required.

Yamaha D-MODE: select the soul you want
To give the MT-09 rider the bike - and the excitement - he or she needs in different riding situations, this new motorcycle is equipped with the Yamaha D-MODE system. The rider has a choice of three different throttle valve control mapping settings, STD Mode, A Mode and B Mode.

STD Mode has been designed to be used in a wide range of riding and road conditions, and it allows the rider to enjoy the 3-cylinder engine's linear torque output and top performance right through the bike's rpm range, from low to high engine speeds.
With the A Mode the MT-09 engine delivers the maximum level of adrenaline. This setting gives a sharper throttle response in the low to mid speed range for a harder-hitting character with a more aggressive sport riding experience.

Finally, the B Mode delivers a milder throttle response with easy-to-use power characteristics which are perfect for riding in the city or in adverse road or weather conditions.

Concealed 3-into-1 exhaust
The MT-09 is fitted with an integrated single-piece 3-into-1 exhaust system and short muffler featuring three internal expansion chambers. The stubby muffler emits a pleasing sound that highlights the bike's unique character, and its concealed under-slung location contributes towards the centralization of mass, which in turn helps to ensure light and responsive handling performance.

To achieve a strong exhaust pulse effect, the three stainless steel exhaust pipes feature connecting tubes between pipes 1 and 2, and between pipes 2 and 3 - and the pipes are also treated with a Nanofilm coating that helps to keep the system looking factory-fresh by preventing discolouration, rust and stains.

Extensive space-saving measures and weight-reduction features
Weight saving and space saving designs have been used extensively on this new-generation machine, making this the one of the lightest sport bikes in the over 700cc class, at 188kg wet/171kg dry(*). As a comparison, the MT-09 is lighter than the YZF-R6, a supersport machine recognized as being one of the most agile in its class.

A specially-designed oil pan enables the three exhausts to run tightly against the engine to give a deep banking angle of 51º, allowing the MT-09 rider to enjoy supersport-levels of cornering performance. The irregular shape of the pan - which tapers towards the base - also helps to reduce surface fluctuations and bubble formation in the oil during sudden machine movements, which helps ensure effective lubrication.

Further weight savings are made with the use of an innovative new 'half-nut' cam-chain tensioner which is lighter and more compact than traditional designs, and also features fewer working parts.

Another weight saving feature is the integrated breather chamber, which is built into the cylinder head cover. Excess internal engine air pressure is vented via the breather into the air cleaner, whereas on other models these chambers are usually situated behind the crankcase. Locating the MT-09's breather closer to the air cleaner reduces pipe length for a lighter and tidier-looking engine.

Some creative thinking has also been applied to the design of the cooling system, and the MT-09 features a greatly simplified coolant hose layout. By adjusting the relative positions of the radiator, water pump and thermostat, our engineers have been able to reduce considerably the amount of hose required, giving lower weight and improved appearance. The newly designed coolant system now features a thermostat at the point where the coolant enters the engine. During cold starts the thermostat restricts water circulation to the water jacket only, giving shorter warm-up times with increased fuel efficiency and quicker catalyzer activation for reduced emissions.

MT-09 CHASSIS
All-new lightweight and compact CF aluminium die-cast frame
In order to enable the rider to optimize the performance characteristics of the new high-torque 3-cylinder engine, the MT-09 runs with an all-new compact and lightweight aluminium chassis. The space-saving and weight-reducing features employed on the new engine have given our designers great freedom in the design of the frame.

Its structure consists of CF aluminium die-cast left and right halves which, like the MT-01 frame, are bolted together at the head pipe and rear pivot areas. Compared to a 4-cylinder model in the same capacity class - such as the FZ8 - the MT-09 achieves overall weight savings of around 10kg in the engine and a further 10kg in the chassis, making it one of the lightest sport bikes in the 700cc+ class at only 188kg wet.

Compact overall dimensions with mass-centralization features

One of the key goals in the MT-09 development project was to create a machine that gives the rider increased levels of pleasure and enjoyment by being able to control the machine at will. More than any other form of transport, a well-designed motorcycle should feel like an extension of the body.

By carefully selecting such dimensions as the wheelbase, seat height, caster angle and overall riding position, Yamaha's designers have been able to produce a compact and easy handling chassis which responds accurately to every rider input. The MT-09's natural handling qualities are also enhanced by the efforts to centralize mass with the use of a low-level under-slung muffler, and an almost horizontal rear shock absorber. As well as their positive effects on handling performance, the location of these major components also contributes towards the MT-09's slim and compact body design.

CF aluminium die-cast asymmetric swingarm with externally mounted pivots
The swingarm is a CF aluminium die-cast design with the left and right sides welded together with extruded aluminium cross members, and this design gives the desired rigidity balance and minimizes unsprung weight for responsive and comfortable suspension action.

In order to achieve our goal of building a compact chassis, the swingarm's pivot assembly is located on the outside of the frame in a system similar to that used on the MT-01. This reduces the chassis width in the footrest area to that of a typical parallel twin cylinder machine, and gives a slimmer and more agile feel to the whole motorcycle.

Adjustable front and rear suspension systems
The MT-09 is equipped with newly-designed upside down front forks which are equipped with flex-resistant 41mm tubes that deliver progressive and plush suspension characteristics. These new forks offer 137mm of wheel travel - 7mm more than the FZ8 - to give high levels of riding comfort and responsive steering on a variety of road surfaces from cobblestones through to fast twisties. A cast aluminium handlebar crown and forged aluminium lower triple clamp help to minimize the MT-09's weight, and the new front forks can be adjusted for rebound damping.

At the rear the MT-09 runs with an innovative new link-type Monocross suspension design which incorporates an almost horizontal shock positioned beneath the seat. The location of the shock not only contributes towards the bike's centralization of mass which helps to enhance handling - it also makes for a slimmer chassis layout, and the under-seat location protects the shock and linkage from the road dirt to help reduced wear and tear. Featuring rebound damping and preload adjustment, this rear suspension can be fine-tuned to suit a range of riding conditions and preferences.

Twin 298mm floating front discs with radial-mount calipers
To underline its high overall chassis specification, the MT-09 is equipped with a newly-designed braking system which is designed to offer accurate initial feel. Twin floating 298mm front discs are operated by radial-mount calipers with 4-pot opposed piston calipers that deliver strong and consistent braking performance. This advanced new set up is also equipped with a high specification master cylinder and brake hoses, and for increased fade-resistance, sintered pads are fitted as standard equipment. At the rear the MT-09 runs with a 245mm disc and pin-slide type caliper offering plenty of feel and easy controllability.

All-new lightweight 10-spoke wheels with radial tyres
To emphasize the MT-09's compact and agile character and also to accentuate the 'mass-forward' image, this new-generation sport bike is fitted with new cast-aluminium 10-spoke wheels. Their lightweight construction minimizes the bike's unsprung weight for responsive suspension characteristics, and the new wheels are equipped with new radial tyres that have been developed jointly with the manufacturer. At the front is a 120/70ZR17 tyre, while the rear wheel runs with a 180/55ZR17tyre for high levels of handling stability and traction.

Stress-free ergonomics for an upright and 'slim-fit' riding position
The MT-09's ergonomics have been specifically developed to give riders of varying sizes the freedom to adopt a riding position that suits their style and situation.

One of the most significant features contributing towards the relaxed riding position is the 400mm long seat which has an almost flat profile. Its length and shape allow the rider to shift their riding position to different scenarios, and a frosted-pattern on the front section gives excellent grip.

The 14-litre steel fuel tank has been manufactured using a new process which achieves extremely tight curves which were previously not possible to sculpt in a steel design. The new tank is also very slim in the area close to the seat, and incorporates deeply recessed knee grip areas which enable the rider to adopt a compact riding position for increased comfort.

A lightweight wide tapered handlebar design is used for the first time on a Yamaha sport bike, and to create a natural and upright riding position, is mounted relatively high on the aluminium crown.

High quality lighting, instruments and components
An all-new asymmetrically-mounted lightweight LCD instrument panel features a digital bar display for the tachometer, and the panel also includes a useful gear position indicator.

A slide-type electric starter button incorporates the cut off switch, and the MT-09's new switch box is the lightest and most compact design ever used on a Yamaha.

Compact hexagonal-type rear view mirrors emphasize the compact 'mass-forward' body design and complement the overall contemporary style of the MT-09.

The bike's high specification is underlined with the use of forged aluminium brake and shift pedals and footrests. The angular headlight features a multi-reflector design, and a new-style LED tail light - inspired by MT-01 - features separate left and right side lamps when the lights are turned on, while the whole surface lights up during braking.

2013 Yamaha V-Star 950 Review
Long, Low and Ready to Go.

A double downtube steel frame gives the 2013 Yamaha V-Star 950 the longest wheelbase in its class, while a fuel injected, forward mounted engine backs major power under your low 26.5 inch seat height.

Looking for a new generation cruiser that is fun to ride and easy to operate?

A cruiser that features a full size chassis, high quality fit and finish plus a super low seat height. The V-Star 950 offers class leading performance and plenty of cruiser character so you can discover your free spirit in comfort and style.

2013 Yamaha V-Star 950 Key Features

US MPG Fuel Consumption: 47 mpg; Fuel Consumption ± 20kpl/57mpg(Imp)

Air-cooled, 942cc, SOHC, 4-valve, V-Twin power plant

Long, low, agile chassis with user friendly 675mm (26.6") seat height

V Star 950 is the benchmark in the entry cruiser class, appealing to seasoned riders as well as those looking for a friendly entry-level cruiser. The air-cooled V-twin delivers plenty of distinctive, big-cruiser character and pulsing torque feel. Seat height is an extra-low 26.6 inches. The full-sized chassis has a long, low look and provides spacious comfort. Handling is sporty and responsive, great for curvy back roads and commuting around town as well as open-highway cruising. No wonder V-Twin Magazine named V Star 950 the 2009 “Metric of the Year”!

The 942cc 60° V-twin engine is both simple and sophisticated. Sure, there’s no-fuss air cooling for traditional looks. But inside you’ll find the reason for the surprisingly spirited performance: four-valve cylinder heads, ceramic-composite-lined cylinders, forged aluminum pistons, and fuel injection. The meticulously tuned 2-into-1 exhaust system has a throaty exhaust note, and also 3-way catalyst technology to reduce air pollution.

The carefully designed chassis contributes to an exceptionally light feeling riders are sure to appreciate. The double-cradle steel main frame offers an ideal rigidity balance in the longitudinal, lateral, and torsional directions, using the engine as a stressed member. With the engine mounting position slightly forward for optimum front-rear weight distribution and its large, 18-inch front wheel, V Star
950 has outstanding handling performance.

The V Star 950 achieves fuel economy up to an estimated 47 mpg* with a fuel tank that holds 4.5 gallons of gas.

Fender are real steel, front and rear. That adds to the quality look and feel, and makes customization easier.

2013 Yamaha V-Star 950 Features and Benefits

Engine:

• 942cc, air-cooled, SOHC, 4-valves per cylinder, 60° V-twin engine produces outstanding low- and mid-range torque - maximum torque is reached at only 3,500 rpm - for exceptional cruising performance.

• One-piece cylinder heads feature 4-valves per cylinder to provide optimum volumetric or filling efficiency for maximum power output. More fuel / air mixture entering the combustion chamber means increased power output. Two smaller intake valves allow more air flow than a single large valve. Two smaller valves (lighter) also allow for higher rpms before valve float.

• Pent roof type combustion design with optimized squish area forces the fuel / air mixture toward the centre of the combustion chamber (and the centrally located long reach spark plug) for faster, more complete combustion and hence improved power and reduced emissions.

• Cylinder heads feature buff polished fins for a quality appearance, while the cylinder head covers are chromed.

• The SOHC valve train features 31.5mm intake and 28mm exhaust valves with single valve springs which reduce friction and power losses. Specially designed "Y" shaped rocker arms activate the valves. The roller rocker system utilizes needle bearings that "roll" directly on the cam lobes allowing the lift of 2 valves at the same time without producing excessive camshaft wear and friction.

• Auto adjusting cam chain tensioners are used to reduce mechanical engine noise and maintenance

• Lightweight "liner-less" aluminium cylinders feature ceramic composite plating for superior heat dissipation for excellent cooling, less friction, reduced weight and longer engine life.

• Single pin style crankshaft is used to enhance engine character and exhaust note.

• Flat top, lightweight forged aluminium pistons provide excellent durability while reducing reciprocating mass for fast throttle response.

• Wet sump oil delivery system features an easy access spin-on type oil filter. A traditional dipstick is used to check oil level.

• Classic side mounted, large capacity, 3 litre air box houses an easy access, high-flow viscous paper-type filter. Its design highlights and compliments the V-twin engine appearance. The outer cover is chromed.

• Dual bore, 35mm throttle body fuel injection system with TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) and ISC (Idle Speed Control). This is a "closed loop" system that utilizes a heated oxygen sensor. The oxygen sensor feeds back info to the ECU which in turn adjusts the fuel/air mixture for maximum power with minimum emissions. The oxygen sensor is located before the mufflers, so the use of aftermarket slip-on mufflers will not affect this system.

• 4-hole, 2-directional spray, Denso fuel injectors are used for excellent fuel atomization and more complete combustion chamber filling. There is one injector per cylinder.

• Fuel injection benefits include improved fuel economy; choke-less starting, reduced emissions, and smoother drivability. The XVS950 has been tuned to provide a very "linear" throttle response for easy riding.

• Maintenance-free transistor controlled ignition (T.C.I.) provides a hot spark for sure starts and strong engine performance.

• Powerful 32 bit ECU controls the ignition and fuel injection process

• Stylish 2 into 1 exhaust system features a 3-way honeycomb-type catalyzer at the entry point to the muffler. The catalyser reduces harmful exhaust emissions, while the "dual stage type" muffler produces a low, throaty V-Twin exhaust note.

• Multi-plate "outer pull type'" wet clutch is used. Lever pull is light and easy.

• 5-speed transmission features optimized gear ratios for excellent city and highway drivability. Transmission gears use "straight cut dogs" for smooth, positive shifting. 5th gear delivers outstanding cruising performance and reduced rpms at highway speed

• One piece classic heel-and-toe shifter adds versatility and enhances the overall cruising experience.

• Clean, quiet belt drive system is extremely low maintenance and simplifies customization. The belt features "Aramid" cords for excellent strength and reduced stretching.

• Air Induction System (A.I.S.) reduces harmful CO and HC exhaust emissions.

• Numerous chromed engine parts reinforce this motorcycle's quality image.

Chassis and Suspension:

• Double cradle steel frame offers roomy ergonomics, great handling and a low seat height. This frame utilizes a 4-point rigid engine mounting system to optimize the overall rigidity balance for superior handling. The engine is a stressed member of the frame. Rake is 32 degrees. The engine is mounted low in the chassis to provide a low center of gravity for a light, easy handling feel.

• "Box section" steel swingarm compliments the frame.

• The V-Star 950 features one of the lowest seat heights in its class (675mm / 26.6"), making it very easy for most riders to place both feet flat on the ground, an important benefit for novice or shorter riders.

• The long (1685mm / 66") wheelbase provides very stable and precise handling at all speeds. Both of these benefits will help instil confidence in novice riders.

• "New Style Classic" body design concept is based on a single streamline running along the entire body surface. This stylish design highlights a new low, lean, and lighter image than conventional old style cruisers. The long, low design means spacious ergonomics with lots of leg room, which maximizes both rider and passenger comfort.

• Beefy 41mm front fork features stylish large-diameter brushed-finished fork covers. Wheel travel is 135mm (5.3") for a smooth, comfortable ride.

• Monocross style, single-shock, bottom link rear suspension centralizes mass for light, agile handling. The linkage system provides a rising rate or progressive effect that provides excellent compliance on small bumps then increases in firmness for large bumps.

• Spring preload adjustable rear shock is vertically mounted behind the engine and is tucked out of sight for that clean, classic "hardtail" look. Rear wheel travel is 110mm (4.3"). The 9 positions of spring preload adjustment allows the rider to tailor spring preload to suit rider weight, load and road conditions.

• Single, large 320mm front disc brake features a pin slide-type caliper with twin pistons for strong, confidence-inspiring stopping power.

• 298 mm rear disc brake is squeezed by single piston caliper mounted to the underside of the swingarm. This design not only helps to hide the caliper but also lowers the center of gravity for light handling.

• 1 inch diameter handlebars are easy to reach and enhance the riding position for excellent rider comfort. Chromed bar end weights reduce vibration for excellent rider comfort.

• 17 litre teardrop shaped fuel tank compliments the long, low "New Style Classic" body lines. The reserve portion of the tank is 3.7 litres.

• Separate rider and passenger seats offers excellent comfort and support for all day riding fun. Rider seat height is only 675mm or 26.6 inches off the ground. The front portion of the rider seat is narrow to make it even easier to touch the ground. The passenger portion of the seat can easily be removed if desired.

• Front and rear fenders are made of steel for easy customization and demonstrate the quality of build.

• Full-size, "floating-type" rider floorboards are roomy and comfortably positioned while also helping reduce vibration. There is a replaceable "scraper" area on the lower edge of the board.

• Lightweight 8-spoke cast aluminium wheels are fitted wide tubeless tires. These stylish wheels feature a "split" spoke design. Front wheel is 3.50 inches wide fitted with a 130/70x 18 bias tire, while the rear is 4.5 inches wide fitted with a 170/70x 16 bias tire.

• Stylish fuel tank mounted instrument features an analog speedometer, digital odometer, dual tripmeters, low fuel tripmeter, clock and low fuel warning light. The instrument illumination can adjusted to suit the rider's preference via the RHS switch gear.

• Handlebar switch gear allows the operator to change instrument meter functions via buttons on the RHS handlebar switch, thereby eliminating the need to take your hands off the bars to "tab through" the main instrument functions.

• 60/55 watt high intensity halogen headlight emphasizes the "New Style Classic" body styling. The headlight is adjustable up and down plus left and right.

• "New Style Classic" taillight design.

Additional Features:

• Industry-leading Star family fit and finish features rich, lustrous paint and extensive chrome accents creating a machine Low-maintenance, lightweight, compact, sealed battery ensures fuss-free, dependable starting.

2013 Yamaha V-Star 1300 Features and Benefits


Engine:


• 1304cc (80 cubic inch), liquid-cooled, short stroke, SOHC, 8-valves, 60° V-twin powerplant pumps out incredible amounts of class leading power and torque for unparalleled acceleration and cruising performance.


• Electric starting system
features a mechanical centrifugal decompression device in the exhaust camshafts for easy, no-hassle starting.

• Liquid-cooling not only allows for higher state of tune because it maintains more stable operating temperatures, but also reduces mechanical noise for a quieter engine.


• In an effort to maintain the classic air-cooled appearance of the engine, cooling fins have been added as a styling touch and the rad is "hidden" between the frame down tubes.


• The short stroke engine design reduces the "height" of the engine, while the 60 degree "V" makes the engine more compact thereby centralizing mass and lowering the center of gravity for lighter more responsive handling.


• Classic V-twin "pulse feeling" and engine character highlight this powerplant while annoying vibration has been eliminated.


• One-piece cylinder heads feature 4-valves per cylinder to provide optimum breathing efficiency for maximum power output. Each head is fitted with a single long reach spark plug.


• Stylish chromed cylinder head covers.


• The SOHC valve train
features 36mm intake and 32mm exhaust valves with single springs for great power and torque. Valves angles are set at 20 degrees from centre. Specially designed roller rockers activate the valves. The rocker system allows a greater amount of valve lift without producing excessive camshaft wear and friction. The slipper portion of the rocker arm features a needle bearing to further reduce wear and slide resistance. The camshafts have been specially designed for use with roller rockers.

• Optimized squish area forces the fuel / air mixture toward the centre of the combustion chamber for more complete combustion and hence improved power and cleaner emissions.


• The radiator is mounted between the front frame down tubes to minimize its appearance especially when viewing the machine from the side. Even the rad hoses have been discreetely placed for a cleaner appearance. An electric fan aids in cooling in stop and go traffic. Special cooling louvers direct air to the rad.


• Automatic hydraulic cam chain tensioners reduces mechanical noise and maintenance time.


• Ceramic composite-plated cylinders reduce weight reduce friction, increase cylinder life and provide uniform heat dissipation. The cylinders have a tapered "V" appearance to highlight the V-twin design. Cylinder bore is 100mm.


• Forged pistons offer great durability and reduced weight for faster engine response.


• Crankshaft
features a single crank pin design. This specially designed crank helps to enhance the pulse feeling and engine character.

• Forged connecting rods ride on a single crank pin for that true V-twin sound and feel.


• Single axis, left and right dual engine counter balancers reduce vibration to a minimum while maximizing rider comfort.


• Crankcase design
features internal oil and coolant lines for a clean, air-cooled engine appearance. There are special piston coolers that spray oil at the under side of the pistons.

• Easy access, spin on type oil filter is located under the engine. There is no need to remove any parts to access the oil filter.


• Classic side mounted 3.7 liter air box houses a high-flow viscous paper-type filter and adds that special styling touch too.


• Mikuni dual bore, 40mm throttle body fuel injection system with TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) and ISC (Idle Speed Control). This is a "closed loop" system that utilizes an oxygen sensor. The oxygen sensor feeds back info to the ECU which in turn adjusts the fuel/air mixture for maximum power with minimum emissions. The oxygen sensor is located before the mufflers, so the use of slip-ons will not affect this system. Each injector
features 12 holes and a dual spray pattern for better fuel atomization and more complete combustion chamber filling. There is one injector per cylinder. Fuel injection benefits include improved fuel economy, chokeless operation, reduced emissions, and smoother running.

• High pressure electric fuel pump is located in a separate sub fuel tank below the seat.


• Maintenance-free transistor controlled ignition (T.C.I.) provides a hot spark for sure starts and strong engine performance.


• 2 into 1 exhaust system
features a 3-way honeycomb catalyzier at the entry point to the muffler. The catalyzier reduces harmful exhaust emissions, while the muffler produces a throaty V-Twin growl. The rear portion of the muffler features a "slash cut" end

• Smooth-shifting, 5-speed transmission with 5th gear overdrive delivers outstanding cruising performance and reduced rpms at highway speeds. The engine is spinning at 3,400 rpm at 110 km/hr.


• Clean, quiet belt drive system is extremely low maintenance and simplifies customization. The belt is unique to the XVS1300 and
features carbon cords for strength.

• The 7-spoke rear pulley has been styled to match the cast wheels.


• Air Induction System (A.I.S.) reduces harmful exhaust emissions (CO & HC).


• One piece classic heel-and-toe shifter adds versatility and enhances the overall cruising experience.


Chassis and Suspension:


• Double cradle steel frame offers roomy ergonomics, a low seat height and great handling. This frame utilizes a rigid engine mounting system to optimize the overall rigidity balance for superior handling. The rake is 32 degrees, while the lean angle is a sporty 36 degrees.


• Steel swingarm matches the frame and provides superior performance in a wide variety of conditions, while also making a bold styling statement.


• Long 1,690mm (66.5") wheelbase creates a long, low retro profile and stable handling. This chassis offers a 48% / 52 % front to rear weight distribution.


• The long low design means spacious ergonomics with lots of leg room, which maximizes both rider and passenger comfort.


• 41mm KYB front fork features stylish large-diameter brushed-finished fork covers. Wheel travel is 130mm (5.1") for a smooth, comfortable ride.


• Monocross style, spring preload-adjustable, single-shock, link rear suspension centralizes mass for agile handling. The linkage system provides a rising rate effect that provides excellent compliance on both small and large bumps. There are 9 positions of spring preload adjustability to suit rider preference.


• Rear shock is vertically mounted behind the engine and is tucked out of sight for that classic, hardtail look. Rear wheel travel is 110mm (4.3").


• Dual 298 mm, floating front discs are squeezed by compact twin piston front calipers.


• 298 mm rear disc brake is squeezed by single piston caliper mounted to the underside of the swingarm. This design not only helps to hide the caliper but also lowers the center of gravity for excellent handling.


• Lightweight 7-spoke cast aluminum wheels are fitted wide tubeless tires. The "mag" style wheels are both easy to clean and never require maintaince. The rear drive pulley matches the rear wheel design.


• Full-size, "tapered" floating-type rider floorboards are roomy and comfortably positioned while also helping to reduce vibration. There is a replaceable "scraper" area on the lower edge of the footboard.


• 1 inch, rubber mounted handlebars are easy to reach and help to reduce vibration as well.


• Front and rear fenders are steel for easy customization and painting if desired.


• 18.5 liter teardrop shaped fuel tank with flush mounted filler cap. Fuel tank seam is hidden for that clean, custom look. Reserve portion is 4.5 litres.


• Generous rider and passenger seats offer plenty of room and support for all day riding comfort. Seat height is only 690mm or 27.2 inches off the ground.


• Handlebar-mounted chromed instrument features a stylish design. Readouts include: analog speedometer, digital odometer, dual tripmeters, low fuel tripmeter, clock and low fuel warning light. Stylish red background illumination.


• Handlebar switch gear allows the operator to change instrument functions via buttons on the back of the RHS handlebar switch, thereby eliminating the need to remove hands from the bars to adjust the main instrument functions.


• 60/55 watt high intensity halogen headlight emphasizes the "wild streamline", mass forward styling design. The chromed headlight body is adjustable up and down plus left and right via remote adjusters. There are also two 35 watt accessory light connectors inside the headlight shell for accessory passing lamps.
