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.

Pros and cons

Advantages

  • Low-rev torque

    The 168 Nm peak at 2500 rpm gives the engine strong pulling force without needing high revs.

  • Belt final drive

    The belt avoids the routine cleaning and adjustment required by a chain.

  • 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.
