2013 Yamaha Star Raider SCL Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by Yamaha for the custom - cruiser motorcycle segment, the 2013 Yamaha Star Raider SCL relies on a 1851.9 cc (113 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 100.0 x 118.0 mm (3.9 x 4.6 inches) with a 9.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Star Raider SCL measures 340.2 kg (750 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 696 mm (27.4 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,801 mm (70.9 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 15.9-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.6 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 284 km (176 miles) between fill-ups.
