2016 Yamaha Raider S
Aluminum Frame 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. Secure Riding Position Low, sculpted seat holds the rider in place, and pullback bars reach back to enforce a casual, urban cruising style. Kicked-out Front Fork 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 combining a 33-degree rake plus 6 degrees yoke angle gives the Raider a total rake of 39 degrees and 102mm of trail. Stylish Custom Tires Custom 5-spoke aluminum wheels carry a 120/70 profile, 21-inch tire up front, and a wide, 210/40-18 radial out back—the tallest and widest ever on a Star. Plush Suspension 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. Generous Fuel Range Flangeless fuel tank carries a full 4.2 gallons of fuel. Potent Brakes Front brake master cylinder with integrated lever operates a pair of 298mm front discs squeezed by strong 4-piston monoblock calipers, with the rear 310mm disc gripped by a floating single-piston caliper, for excellent power and feel. Clean Belt Drive Strong, light and narrow belt final drive contains embedded carbon fiber for even greater strength. Hidden Wiring Wiring harness uses super-slim wires for compactness and lighter weight, and switchgear wiring is routed inside the handlebar for a clean appearance.
