Yamaha V-Star 1300 Deluxe Features and Benefits Engine: ?1304cc, (80 cubic inch) liquid-cooled, short stroke, SOHC, 8-valve, 60° V-twin powerplant pumps out excellent power and torque for unparalleled acceleration and cruising performance. At 110 km/hr the engine is only turning 3,400 rpm, for relaxed highway cruising. ?Liquid-cooling not only allows for higher state of tune but also reduces mechanical noise for a quieter engine. ?The short stroke engine design reduces the "tallness" 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 high frequency 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. ?The SOHC valve train features 36mm intake and 32mm exhaust valves with special single coil springs for great power and torque. Valve angles are set at 20 degrees. Specially designed roller rockers activate the valves. The roller 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 to provide class leading power. ?The water pump which is integrated with the oil pump and is located inside the engine cases to keep a cleaner, more traditional air-cooled look to the powerplant. The engine uses a wet sump lubrication system. ?The radiator is mounted between the front frames 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. ?Automatic hydraulic cam chain tensioners reduce mechanical noise and extend engine life. ?Ceramic composite-plated cylinders reduce weight, 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 and less mechanical vibration. ?Crankshaft features a single crank pin design which enhances the pulse feeling and engine character. ?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. ?Classic side mounted 3.7 liter air box houses a viscous paper-type filter and adds that special styling touch. ?Bore size is 40mm and 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 steady idling during start-up. ?Specially designed starter motor features a damping mechanism to prevent damage from kick back. ?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, and great handling. This frame utilizes a rigid engine mounting system to optimize the overall rigidity balance for superior handling. The rack 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 provides solid, stable handling. ?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 covers. Wheel travel is 135mm (5.3") for a smooth, comfortable ride. ?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"). ?298mm rear disc brake 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 better handling. ?Lightweight 7-spoke cast aluminum wheels are fitted with wide tubeless tires. These stylish "mag" wheels are both easy to clean and never require maintaince. The rear drive pulley matches the wheel design. ?Stylish fork mounted faring offers a dynamic look as well as great weather protection. It also features dual speakers providing excellent sound quality. A taller windshield provides relaxed cruising comfort. The Garmin Zumo 665 navigation system is neatly integrated into the centre of the fairing cockpit. It can be easily removed if desired ?Beautifully styled 28.5 litre, colour matched, hard locking saddlebags offer plenty of convenient storage. ?Full-size, "tapered" floating-type rider floorboards are roomy and comfortably positioned while also helping to reduce vibration. There is a replaceable "scraper" on the lower edge of the footboard. Additional Features: ?Industry-leading Star family fit and finish features rich, lustrous paint and extensive chrome accents creating a machine as stunning as it is powerful. ?Self-cancelling turn signals feature stylish clear lenses. |
