Overview

Yamaha Star Raider Bullet Cow

The world’s ultimate midsize chopper-inspired custom, now with a new bold aerodynamic bullet cowl with a hint of outlaw that provides full coverage to eliminate wind fatigue... The New Raider Bullet Cowl offers everything that makes the 2015 Yamaha Raider the world's premier chopper-inspired performance cruiser, and ups the ante. With a new aerodynamic cowl and a hint of outlaw styling providing full coverage to eliminate wind fatigue with allowing unobstructed views of the road. And with 113 cubic inches of air cooled, fuel injected V-Twin power below, there's virtually no limit to where the road can take you. Features Top Features: NEW FOR 2015! Raider Bullet-Cowl offers a tougher look and excellent wind protection. •The Raider was inspired by the custom chopper movement, but since it’s a Star, it had to also handle, stop and go. •A 6-degree yoke angle—the first ever on a Star Motorcycle—makes it possible to achieve that custom raked-out 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. •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. •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. •Four pushrod-activated valves and two spark plugs per cylinder provide optimum combustion efficiency along with classically beautiful engine architecture. •Ceramic-composite plated cylinders for superior heat dissipation with forged pistons cooled by oil jets. Provides outstanding reliability and longer engine life. •9.5:1 compression ratio and aggressive cam timing increase power output across the board. •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. •A 3.5-liter airbox is hidden in the area below the fuel tank for great performance and clean styling. •Two-into-one-into-two exhaust with Exhaust Ultimate Power valve (EXUP®) inside boosts torque in the 2500-3500-rpm range. •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. •Low, sculpted seat holds the rider in place, and pullback bars reach back to enforce a casual, urban cruising style. •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. •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. •46mm fork tubes serve a sweet appearance and an excellent ride through 5.1 inches of wheel travel. •A tucked-out-of-sight single shock out back provides a smooth ride under varying loads. •Flangeless fuel tank carries a full 4.2 gallons of fuel. •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. •Strong, light and narrow belt final drive contains embedded carbon fiber for even greater strength. •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. •Jewel-like fit and finish, and Star quality paint, chrome and attention to detail are evident all over the Raider. •Cool, tank-mounted instrumentation complements the custom look, and contains analog speedometer and fuel gauge, along with twin digital tripmeters, odometer and self-diagnostics. •Bright multi-reflector headlight, LED taillight, and custom amber LED turn signals behind clear lenses give a custom look. •02 sensor and three-way catalyst reduce emissions.
