Overview
The 2012 Yamaha XV RAIDER CUSTOM is a cruiser from the XV family, produced in 2012. Its air-cooled, four-stroke V-twin displaces 1854 cm³ and makes 168 Nm of torque at 2500 rpm; it weighs 343 kg.
That torque arrives at low engine speed, giving the V-twin a relaxed, low-rev character. The 734 mm seat height can make stopping and putting a foot down easier, while the 343 kg weight calls for more effort when maneuvering slowly. A belt final drive avoids chain cleaning and adjustment, and the rear suspension is adjustable; the fuel tank holds 15.9 L.

Adjustable rear suspension
The adjustable Monocross rear suspension lets riders tune the setup to suit their preferences.
Things to consider
Heavy at low speed
At 343 kg, the motorcycle takes considerable effort to maneuver around a parking spot or at walking pace.
