2011 Yamaha V-Star 650 Classic model Features

ENGINE
= Beautifully chromed and polished 649cc (40-cubic-inch), air-cooled, SOHC, 2 valves per cylinder, 70 degree, V-twin cranks out torquey low- and mid-range power for smooth cruising performance. Maximum torque occurs at a low 3,000 rpm.
= This engine has been designed to produce strong torque and horsepower in the most usable riding range (50 to 120 km/hr).
= Twin Mikuni BDS28 carbs with throttle position sensors (TPS) provide crisp throttle response.
= Wide-ratio, 5-speed transmission ensures extremely usable, cruiser-friendly power delivery. 5th gear is an overdrive gear for reduced engine rpms at highway speeds for a smooth comfortable ride.
= Light clutch action is perfect for novice riders.
= Transistorized coil ignition (TCI) means sure starts and excellent engine performance. It is a no-maintenance design.
= Classic, side-mounted air cleaner not only adds to styling but also is easy to service the air filter.
= Automatic cam chain tensioners reduce maintenance and mechanical engine noise.
= Low-maintenance shaft drive provides quiet, clean, reliable performance with no chain adjustments or lube splatter.
= 2-into-2 chrome exhaust pipes create sleek styling while delivering strong low- and mid-range engine power. The conversion to aftermarket mufflers is fast and simple.
= Heel-toe shifter reinforces that classic image.
= Air Induction System (A.I.S.) reduces harmful CO and HC exhaust emissions.
= Lots of chrome engine parts highlight quality and value.

CHASSIS/SUSPENSION
= Stout, large-diameter, double-cradle steel frame is designed to provide a low seat height with ample rider legroom.
= Long 1,625mm (64") wheelbase provides a stable ride and predictable handling while creating that long and low retro look.
= Beefy, 41mm front fork with Road Star-inspired shrouds offers 140mm (5.5") of wheel travel to ensure a smooth, comfortable ride.
= Chromed fork shrouds, top triple clamp, and one-piece handlebar holder show attention to detail.
= 7-step, spring preload-adjustable, single-shock rear suspension allows the rider to tailor spring settings to match load or road conditions. Rear wheel travel is 98mm (3.9").
= Rear shock is mounted under the engine for that classic, hardtail look. By positioning the shock low in the chassis, it lowers the centre of gravity for a light, easy-to-maneuver feel.
= Single 298mm front disc brake with twin piston caliper delivers strong, confidence-inspiring stopping power.
= Easy-to-adjust rear drum brake with wear indicator
= Plushly padded, low-profile rider and passenger seats provide exceptional rider comfort. The low 710mm (27.9") seat height allows most riders to put feet firmly on the ground for extra confidence.
= Full-size rider floorboards with floating rubber inserts reduce vibration while providing ample legroom for maximum rider comfort.
= Wide retro-style handlebars evoke a classic design. Extra wide levers provide a quality look and feel.
= Wide front and rear tires fitted to spoked, chrome wheels combine retro styling with solid handling and traction.
= Deeply valanced steel front and rear fenders are both durable and unmistakably classic. Their steel design means they are easy to customize and paint.
= Large, 16-litre fuel tank for an extra long cruising range.
= Beautiful, tank-mounted speedometer features an odometer and tripmeter displays.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES
= Industry-leading, Star family fit and finish features rich, lustrous paint and extensive chrome accents creating a machine as stunning as it is powerful.
= Chrome, 60/55-watt, halogen headlight
= Low-maintenance, sealed battery ensures reliable, no-hassle starting.
= Beautiful, 3D, fuel tank emblem reinforces the Star family's quality image.
= Locking helmet holder
= Locking storage compartment adds convenience and security.
= Steering lock
= Self-cancelling turn signals with stylish, clear signal lenses
= Bungee cord tie-down points near passenger footpegs prevent unwanted scratches
