OverviewEdit
Yamaha XVS 650 V-Star Custom Midnight
With a long, low, lean-and-mean profile, traditional spoked wheels, and a bobbed tail rear fender, the V-Star 1100 Midnight Custom has the look and feel of a classic chopper from yesteryear. In fact, when you see the low price tag, you might think that you've gone back in time. But one short ride will rule time travel out, thanks to the incredible attention to detail and the quality fit and finish that the Star family is famous for. Its powerful air-cooled, 65-cubic-inch V-twin pumps out lots of low-end torque, while a smooth-shifting 5-speed transmission and clean, quiet shaft drive put the power to the ground. Get ready to fly.
Engine:
1,063cc, air-cooled, SOHC, 2 valves per cylinder, 75°, V-twin produces outstanding low- and mid-range torque - maximum torque is reached at only 2,500 rpm - for exceptional overall cruising performance.
Forged, lightweight pistons provide excellent durability while reducing reciprocating mass for fast throttle response. Connecting rods are carburized for durability. Ceramic composite cylinder plating ensures superior heat dissipation for better cooling, reduced friction and longer engine life. Thick cylinder cooling fins enhance the stylish look while increasing cooling efficiency and reducing mechanical noise. Dual Mikuni BSR 37mm carburetors with throttle position sensor feature an electronic fuel pump, carburetor heater and handy side-mounted air filter to ensure consistent fuel flow, great throttle response and optimum power throughout the rev range. Maintenance-free, transistorized coil ignition provides a hot spark for sure starts. Automatic cam chain tensioners reduce maintenance while silent-type cam chain also reduces engine noise. One-way, cam clutch-type starter decreases mechanical noise during starting. Smooth-shifting, 5-speed transmission is perfect for city or highway use. Low-maintenance, chrome, exposed shaft drive delivers superior reliability and a clean, quiet ride. 2-into-2 exhaust system with dual shotgun-style staggered pipes plays outstanding V-twin music. Mufflers can easily be changed to aftermarket components, if desired. Air Induction System (A.I.S.) reduces harmful CO and HC emissions. Numerous chromed engine parts reinforce this motorcycle's quality image.
