2016 Yamaha Stryker SE www.Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits


/// Engine
• 1304cc (80 cubic inch), liquid-cooled, short stroke, SOHC, 4-valve per cylinder, fuel injected, 60° V-twin power plant pumps out impressive power & torque. An uneven firing interval, bore & stroke dimensions, special ignition & fuel injection mapping all contribute to excellent torque output and
• Liquid-cooled engine design.
– allows for higher state of tune because of more stable operating temperatures
– reduces mechanical noise for a quieter engine
– rad is mounted between the front down tubes to minimize its appearance
– rad hoses have been discreetly placed for a cleaner appearance
– electric fan aids in cooling during hot weather or in stop & go traffic
• Classic air-cooled engine appearance.
– cooling fins have been added to give the Stryker that traditional air cooled look
– cylinders have a tapered “V” appearance to highlight the V-twin engine style
• Short stroke engine design.
– reduces the “height” of the engine for a lower centre of gravity for easy & light handling
– 60 degree “V” keeps the engine more compact & also centralizes mass
– short stroke design offers excellent power at slightly higher rpms than a traditional air cooled long stroke V-Twin
• SOHC, pent-roof, 4-valve cylinder heads.
– 4-valve design optimizes breathing efficiency & overall engine performance at all rpms
– 36 mm intake & 32 mm exhaust valves use friction reducing single valve springs
– stylish chromed cylinder head covers
– compact pent roof combustion chamber & optimized squish area forces the fuel / air mixture toward the centre of the combustion chamber for more complete combustion & excellent power with reduced emissions
– 25,000 km valve adjustment intervals
• Specially designed roller rockers activate the valves.
– roller rocker arms allows a greater amount of valve lift without causing excessive camshaft wear & friction
– slipper portion of the rocker arm utilizes a needle bearing for reduced wear & reduced sliding resistance (friction)
• Automatic cam chain tensioners reduce mechanical noise and simplify maintenance.
• Ceramic composite-plated cylinder bores.
– excellent heat dissipation for consistent power delivery
– ceramic coating enhances the thin film of oil between the cylinder & piston, reducing friction & increasing power
– extended cylinder service life
• High performance forged aluminum pistons.
– less reciprocating mass for fast engine response
– reduced mechanical vibration
– special piston cooler jet nozzles spray oil at the underside of the pistons & rods for excellent durability
• Single pin style crankshaft with uneven firing order
– design accentuates V-twin engine character, pulse feel & sound
• Crankcase design features internal oil & coolant lines for a clean, air-cooled engine appearance.
• Dual engine counter balancers reduce vibration to a minimum while maximizing rider comfort.
• Easy access, spin on type oil filter & drain plug for easy oil changes.
• Classic side mounted air box houses an easy access, a high-flow viscous paper-type filter.
• “Closed loop” Mikuni dual bore, 40mm throttle body fuel injection system.
– system uses throttle position sensor (TPS) to help optimize intake air flow & power
– ISC or idle speed controller ensures a steady idle
– 12 hole injectors optimize fuel atomization
– Injector dual spray pattern for more complete combustion chamber filling
– “closed loop system” uses dual oxygen sensors to “sniff” spent exhaust & automatically adjust the fuel / air ratio for reduced emissions
– oxygen sensor is located before the mufflers, so the use of aftermarket “slip-on” mufflers will not affect the closed loop system
– fuel injection benefits include; excellent throttle response, choke-free starting, steady idling during warm up, excellent fuel economy & reduced emissions
• Smooth-shifting, 5-speed transmission.
– optimized gear ratios match engine output for strong acceleration
– 5th gear is an overdrive gear for reduced engine rpms at highway speeds
• Low maintenance belt drive final drive.
– cleaner & quieter than chain drive & no messy chain splatter
– significantly reduces maintenance Vs a chain… no regular adjustments or lubrication required
– belt drive system simplifies customization
• Maintenance-free transistor controlled ignition (TCI).
– produces a strong spark for fast starts
– provides precise ignition timing / mapping for optimum engine performance at all rpms
• 2 into 1 into 2 exhaust system.
– large diameter header pipes for maximum flow
– dual mufflers helps to boost torque & horsepower
– heat shields protect rider & passenger from hot components
– 3-way honeycomb catalyzer reduces exhaust emissions
• Air Injection System injects fresh air into exhaust ports to fully burn any unburnt fuel, reducing harmful CO & HC exhaust emissions.

/// Chassis
• Double cradle steel frame with “open neck space” provides an aggressive chopper image. Frame utilizes a rigid engine mounting system to optimize the overall rigidity balance of the chassis for superior handling. The rake is 34 degrees with a yoke offset of 6 degrees. The frame not only provides excellent handling & roomy ergonomics but also compliments the beautiful flowing lines of the entire machine.

Important Note: Raked out front fork with lots of trail generally provides good straight line stability but often results in heavy steering at low speeds. Engineers at Yamaha will not sacrifice handling for styling, so they have developed a 6 degree yoke offset angle combined with the 34 degree steering head for a total fork angle of 40 degrees. The “Stryker” provides light handling & easy steering not normally associated with a custom styled bike. The Stryker is designed to be ridden !
• Steel swingarm compliments the frame & overall chassis rigidity balance
• Long 1,750mm (68.9″) wheelbase
– creates a long, low profile, roomy ergonomics & solid, stable handling
– low design also helps reduce seat height making it easy to get both feet on the ground
• Raked out 41mm front fork offer 135 mm (5.3″) of wheel travel.
– excellent ride comfort & compliance
– chip protectors help prevent stone chips in the tubes for extended fork seal life
• Adjustable Monocross style single-shock, link rear suspension.
– linkage system provides a rising rate effect that provides excellent compliance on both small & large bumps
– 9 positions of spring preload adjustability to suit load and / or rider preferences
• Rear shock is vertically mounted behind the engine.
– shock is tucked out of sight for that classic, clean, hard tail look
– location centralizes mass for light weight feel
• Single, large 320mm, floating front disc is squeezed by a compact twin piston front caliper.
• Large 310mm rear disc is squeezed by a single piston caliper.
– caliper is mounted below the swingarm to lower center of gravity & provide that “hidden look”
• Lightweight 5-spoke cast aluminum wheels.
– front wheel is a MT3.50 x 21. 21 ” design accentuates the custom chopper styling
– rear wheel is a wide MT7.50×18 and carries a wide 210 series tire enhancing styling
• 1 inch diameter handlebars.
– handlebar is mounted directly to the upper triple clamp eliminating the traditional handlebar holders
– design accentuates the chopper profile while also providing an aggressive riding position.
• Deep-bend steel front & rear fenders.
– use of steel allows for easy painting or customization… to suit personal preferences
– custom styled one piece rear fender mounts
• 15 litre teardrop shaped fuel tank with chromed filler cap.
– long, slim tank design accentuates the bike’s muscular styling lines
– high capacity electric fuel pump is located in a separate sub tank below the seat
– 5 litre reserve capacity (low fuel light illuminates)
• One piece rider & passenger seat.
– offers a low 670mm (26.4″) seat height making it easy to get both feet on the ground
– seating position is best described as sitting “in” not “on” providing a special “riding attitude”
• Triple clamp mounted bullet cowl.
– adds an eye catching styling highlight
– reduces wind fatigue on the rider.
• Handlebar-mounted meter / instrument.
– functions include; analog speedometer, odometer, dual trip meters, fuel gauge, fuel reserve trip meter (counts kilometers since low fuel light illuminated), clock & range of warning lights
