Note: The 2016 Yamaha V-Star 1300 Deluxe SE is called the 2016 Yamaha XV1900A in Europe

Fully dressed to make an impression.

Step on to a classically-styled cruising machine, gloriously designed to capture the beauty of the age of the open road, yet packed with impressive torque, handling and comfort.

Now available with a wind-deflecting fairing for super-cool looks and heightened riding comfort, this radical neo-streamliner cruiser comes with fat alloys, pull-back handlebars, and a sparkling engine exterior.

But this is no casual victory for form over function. Our Art of Engineering philosophy demands beauty and top performance in equal measure, and the XV1900ACFD’s air-cooled, 4-valve, 4-stroke, 2-cylinder V-type engine combined with a host of other technical flourishes, means you’ll get both.

2016 Yamaha V-Star 1300 Deluxe SE www.Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits

ENGINE:

Blacked out, 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 & injection mapping all contribute to excellent torque output and that classic V-twin pulse feeling. At 110 km/hr. the engine is only turning 3,400 rpm, for
•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 V-Star 1300 Deluxe SE 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 exhaust system.
– large diameter header pipes for maximum flow
– 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.
