2018 Yamaha XVS1300 A Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2018 Yamaha XVS1300 A custom - cruiser motorcycle, Yamaha relies on a 1304 cc (79.6 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 100.0 x 83.0 mm (3.9 x 3.3 inches) with a 9.5:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the XVS1300 A measures 304 kg (670 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 691 mm (27.2 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,689 mm (66.5 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 18.55-liter (4.9 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.6 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 331 km (206 miles) between fill-ups.
