2009 Yamaha Stratoliner
Destination Anywhere.
When you're ready to travel in big-time style, the Stratoliner is ready to roll at a moment's notice with a lockable quick-release windshield, passenger backrest, and lockable sidebags covered in leather. Even the key is a work of art.
Key Features:

quick-detachable windshield and a quick-detachable passenger backrest make
the Stratoliner excellent for long hauls and short trips.

produces great thrust at any speed.
- Twin-bore downdraft electronic fuel injection ensures optimum engine efficiency
and throttle response in the widest possible range of conditions.
- Neo-streamline design, gives the Stratoliner a completely distinctive look.
- Long and low aluminum frame provides great looks and light handling unlike
any other full-size cruiser, thanks to a low center of gravity feel and a
near 50/50 weight distribution on the front and rear wheels.
- The Star® Accessories Catalog is packed full of high-quality parts that
invite Star owners to fully express their individuality.
Engine:
- 113-cubic-inch (1854cc) air-cooled, pushrod 48-degree V-twin has massive
looks and performance.
- Four pushrod-activated valves and two spark plugs per cylinder provide optimum
combustion efficiency along with classically beautiful engine architecture.
- Plated cylinders and forged pistons cooled by oil jets provide outstanding
reliability and long life.
- Twin counterbalancers keep things smooth but rumbly.
- 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.
- Exhaust Ultimate Power valve (EXUP®) inside the two-into-one exhaust
system boosts torque in the 2500-3000-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.
- 3300 rpm at 75 mph gives some idea of the Stratoliners power and cruisability.
Maximum torque is reached at only 2500 rpm.

- Aluminum frame is light, rigid and requires few welds for a smooth, clean
look. A light, Controlled-
Fill swingarm casting complements the bikes streamline style.
- With 49.6 percent of its weight carried on the front wheel, the Stratoliner
Midnight has the weight distribution of a sportbike instead of the typical
cruiser, and that means great handling.
- 46mm fork tubes wearing slant-cut stainless covers serve up an excellent
ride and a sweet appearance.
- A tucked-out-of-sight single shock with adjustable spring preload out back
provides a smooth ride under varying loads.
- A thick, richly chromed 1.25-inch handlebar carries the Stratoliner Midnights
switchgear wiring on the inside.
- Flangeless, teardrop fuel tank carries a full 4.5 gallons of fuel.
12-spoke wheels evoke a thick spoke look, but carry modern tubeless radial
tires; a 130/70-18 front and a fat, 190/60-17 rear.
- Front brake master cylinder with integrated lever operates a pair of 298mm
front discs squeezed by strong monoblock calipers for excellent power and
feel.
- Strong-and-light belt final drive routes power smoothly and efficiently
to the rear wheel.
- Floating floorboards and an adjustable heel/toe shifter help provide a comfortable,
low-effort ride.

on long rides.

driving light switch for great visibility.

to detail are evident all over the Stratoliner Midnight.

clear lenses give a custom look.
