2012 Yamaha Raider SCL Features and Benefits
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.
•9.48:1 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 rider and passenger seat of exclusive, two-toned genuine
leather with orange stitching set this bike apart while maintaining the Raider’s
casual, urban cruising style ergonomics.
•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 co-developed by Star and Performance Machine
are chrome plated for uncommon custom beauty. There’s 120/70-21-inch
tire up front, and a wide, 210/40-18 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.
•The flangeless fuel tank gets a 6-layer paint process with meticulous
application of Raider SCL’s exclusive metallic Blazing Orange paint for
an unmatched look. It carries a full 4.2 gallons of fuel for an excellent
cruising range.
•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 DETAILS / 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 multireflector headlight, LED taillight, and amber turn signals
behind clear lenses give a custom look.
•02 sensor and three-way catalyst reduce emissions.
•Raider SCL (Star Custom Line) comes equipped with billet wheels &
pulley, custom leather seat, braided stainless steel throttle cables, clutch
and brake hoses.
