2005 Yamaha V Star Custom 650 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Yamaha's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2005 Yamaha V Star Custom 650 pairs a 649 cc (39.6 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 81.0 x 63.0 mm (3.2 x 2.5 inches) with a 9.0:1 compression ratio.
