2012 Yamaha Raider

Style. Performance. Attitude.

If you want totally custom but would rather ride than wrench, have a look at the Raider by Star Motorcycles. It truly is the ultimate marriage of cruiser styling and total performance. Its 113-cubic-inch fuel-injected V-twin engine takes a back seat to no V-twin when it comes to power and reliability. And the rest of the chopper-inspired Raider is pure Star Quality, designed and engineered by the world's best bike builders.

Features

All

Key Features: The Raider was inspired by the custom chopper movement, but since it’s a Star, it had to also handle, stop and go.

Key Features: A 6-degree yoke angle—the first ever on a street-legal Star Motorcycle—makes it possible to achieve that custom look as well as neutral handling and straight-line cruisability: 33-degree rake plus 6 degrees yoke angle gives total rake of 39 degrees and 102mm of trail.

Key Features: Custom 5-spoke wheels carry a 120/70-21-inch bias tire up front, and a wide, 210/40-18 radial out back—the tallest and widest ever on a Star.

Key Features: Estimated 42 mpg* means this cruiser can go the distance between fill-ups.

Engine: 113-cubic-inch (1854cc) air-cooled, OHV with 4 valves per cylinder, pushrod 48-degree V-twin pumps out max torque at just 2500 rpm and max power at 4500 rpm for powerful, relaxed cruising.

Engine: Four pushrod-activated valves and two spark plugs per cylinder provide optimum combustion efficiency along with classically beautiful engine architecture.

Engine: Ceramic-composite plated cylinders for superior heat dissipation with forged pistons cooled by oil jets. Provides outstanding reliability and longer engine life.

Engine: 9.48:1 compression ratio and aggressive cam timing increase power output across the board.

Engine: Computer-controlled, twin-bore, fuel injection monitors multiple engine parameters to calculate perfect mixture under all conditions; wide-angle 12-hole fuel injectors provide excellent atomization.

Engine: A 3.5-liter airbox is hidden in the area below the fuel tank for great performance and clean styling.

Engine: Two-into-one-into-two exhaust with Exhaust Ultimate Power valve (EXUP®) inside boosts torque in the 2500-3500-rpm range.

Engine: Special custom-machining of the cooling fin edges gives a jewel-like appearance to the engine as light hits it from different angles.

Chassis/Suspension: All-aluminum cast frame is light, rigid and tuned for light, athletic handling. A light, Controlled-Fill, aluminum swingarm casting complements the bike’s lithe style.

Chassis/Suspension: Low, sculpted seat holds the rider in place, and pullback bars reach back to enforce a casual, urban cruising style.

Chassis/Suspension: A 6-degree yoke angle—the first ever on a street-legal Star Motorcycle—makes it possible to achieve that custom look as well as neutral handling and straight-line cruisability: 33-degree rake plus 6 degrees yoke angle gives total rake of 39 degrees and 102mm of trail.

Chassis/Suspension: Custom 5-spoke wheels carry a 120/70-21-inch bias tire up front, and a wide, 210/40-18 radial out back—the tallest and widest ever on a Star.

Chassis/Suspension: 46mm fork tubes serve a sweet appearance and an excellent ride through 5.1 inches of wheel travel.

Chassis/Suspension: A tucked-out-of-sight single shock out back provides a smooth ride under varying loads.

Chassis/Suspension: Flangeless fuel tank carries a full 4.2 gallons of fuel.

Chassis/Suspension: Front brake master cylinder with integrated lever operates a pair of 298mm front discs squeezed by strong monoblock calipers for excellent power and feel, with a 310mm disc out back.

Chassis/Suspension: Strong, light and narrow belt final drive contains embedded carbon fiber for even greater strength.

Chassis/Suspension: Wiring harness uses super-slim wires for compactness and lighter weight, and switchgear wiring is routed inside the handlebar for a clean appearance.

Additional Features: Left-thumb operated high-beam switch, and right-thumb activated accessory driving light switch for great visibility.

Additional Features: Jewel-like fit and finish, and Star quality paint, chrome and attention to detail are evident all over the Raider.

Additional Features: Cool, tank-mounted instrumentation complements the custom look, and contains analog speedometer and fuel gauge, along with twin digital tripmeters, odometer and self-diagnostics.

Additional Features: Bright multireflector headlight, LED taillight and amber turn signals behind clear lenses give a custom look.

Additional Features: 02 sensor and three-way catalyst reduce emissions.
