Overview

The Yamaha Bolt C-spec is a cruiser from the Bolt family, produced from 2017 through 2020. The 2020 model uses a 942 cm³, air-cooled, four-stroke V-twin making 54 hp (40 kW), with a wet weight of 245.9 kg.

A 765 mm seat height keeps the riding position close to the ground, while the 245.9 kg wet weight takes more effort to maneuver at walking pace. Fuel use is 4.60 L/100 km, and the 12-liter tank gives a calculated range of about 261 km. The belt final drive avoids routine chain cleaning and adjustment; rear wheel travel is 70 mm, so larger bumps can be felt more directly.

Pros and cons

Advantages

Belt final drive
The belt drive eliminates routine chain cleaning and adjustment.
Low seat
The 765 mm seat height makes it easier to put a foot down at stops.

Things to consider

Limited tank range
The 12-liter tank gives a calculated range of about 261 km, so longer rides can mean more frequent fuel stops.
Short rear suspension travel
With 70 mm of rear wheel travel, the suspension has limited movement to absorb larger bumps.
Low ground clearance
The 130 mm ground clearance leaves less room over tall road obstacles.

How to measure

Stand barefoot with your back to a wall. Hold a book firmly between your legs, then measure from the floor to the top edge of the book.

Estimated ground reach

Both feet likely flat

You should have a stable stance at a stop, although seat width and suspension setup still matter.
