YAMAHA Raider S (2010-2011) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Yamaha XV1900A was a cruiser motorcycle manufactured by Yamaha from 2006 until 2017. It was the largest Yamaha motorcycle in production and was sold in the American market through Yamaha's Star Motorcycle division.

In 2010, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha Raider S, a more visually sophisticated version of the base Raider that featured a lowered seating position, an extended front fork, a wider rear tire, and a black-finished engine.

The Raider S had standard features, such as a round headlight up front, a wide handlebar, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a two-piece dual seat, a dual exhaust system with two silencers mounted on the right side, and five-spoke aluminum wheels.

In addition to the standard features, the S version came with lots of chrome and brushed aluminum elements, such as chromed headlight housing and mounts, signal housings, triple clamps, lower fork legs, handlebar clamps, and engine covers. It also featured brushed aluminum wheel accents, front brake calipers, handlebar switches, and brake and clutch master cylinders.

In other departments, the 2010 Yamaha Raider S packed the same specifications as the base model, such as the 1,854cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine fed by a fuel injection system, delivering 100hp at 4,250 rpm and 167 Nm (123 lb-ft) torque at 2,500 rpm.

The engine worked in tandem with a five-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-plate clutch, sending the power to the rear wheel through a low-maintenance final belt drive.
