The New 2013 Yamaha V-Star 1300 Deluxe

Introducing the new 2013 Yamaha V-Star 1300 Deluxe. This bike delivers exceptional performance and value, making it the ideal choice for riders looking for high end appearance and features in a midsized cruiser and offers great touring comfort and reliability in an easy to handle mid-size package.

Powered by a 1304cc (80-cubic-inch) fuel injected, liquid-cooled, short stroke, SOHC, 8-valve, 60° V-twin, transmission 5-speed with multiplate wet clutch, and ignition with Transistor Controlled Ignition (TCI). The short stroke engine design reduces the "tallness" of the engine, while the 60 degree "V" makes the engine more compact thereby centralizing mass and lowering the center of gravity for lighter more responsive handling. One-piece cylinder heads feature 4-valves per cylinder to provide optimum breathing efficiency for maximum power output. Each head is fitted with a single long reach spark plug.
The SOHC valve train features 36mm intake and 32mm exhaust valves with special single coil springs for great power and torque. Valve angles are set at 20 degrees. Specially designed roller rockers activate the valves. The roller rocker system allows a greater amount of valve lift without producing excessive camshaft wear and friction. The slipper portion of the rocker arm features a needle bearing to further reduce wear and slide resistance. The camshafts have been specially designed to provide class leading power.
For suspension V-Star 1300 Deluxe used 41mm KYB fork features stylish large-diameter brushed-finished covers in front. Wheel travel is 135mm (5.3") for a smooth, comfortable ride. In the rear used Monocross style, spring preload-adjustable, single-shock, link rear suspension centralizes mass for agile handling. The linkage system provides a rising rate effect that provides excellent compliance on both small and large bumps. There are 9 positions of spring preload adjustability to suit rider preference. For brake, this bike used dual 298mm, floating discs are squeezed by compact twin piston front calipers in front and 298mm disc brake squeezed by single piston caliper mounted to the underside of the swingarm in rear.
The V-Star 1300 Deluxe also equipped with a rugged, waterproof Garmin® zumo® 665 GPS. Features include motorcycle-friendly navigation, including weather and traffic conditions (if subscribed to monthly service), lane assist, and 3D building view. XM® satellite radio (with subscription) and Bluetooth® wireless functionality.
