YAMAHA Raider S (2013-2014) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Yamaha Raider was a custom cruiser motorcycle that debuted in 2008 and was discontinued in 2018. Compared to the XV1900A, the Raider version featured a lower seating position, a raked-out front fork, a wider rear tire (210 mm), a black-finished engine, and many custom parts.

In 2013, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha Raider S, a custom cruiser in its sixth year of production. The bike featured a single modification in the form of an assist and slipper clutch for reduced fatigue and improved rider comfort.

In the visual department, the bike had standard features, such as a round headlight, a raked-out front fork, a pulled-back handlebar, a fuel tank integrated instrument panel, a two-piece dual seat, a dual exhaust system, and five-spoke lightweight wheels.

In addition to its standard equipment, the S version was loaded with chrome-plated elements, such as headlight mounts and housing, signal housings, upper and lower triple clamps, lower fork legs, and engine covers.

Also, several brushed aluminum elements enhanced the bike's look, like the front brake calipers, handlebar switches, brake and clutch master cylinders, and wheel accents.

In the performance department, the 2013 Yamaha Raider S had installed a 1,854cc four-stroke V-twin air-cooled engine with a fuel injection system in charge, delivering 100 hp with a peak force at 4,250 rpm and 168 Nm (123 lb-ft) torque at 2,500 rpm.
