2011 V Star 1300 Features

• Engine Features - The New 2011 V Star 1300 80-cubic-inch (1304cc) liquid-cooled, single overhead cam 60-degree V-twin with dual counterbalancers offers plenty of smooth performance. Computer-controlled twin-barrel fuel injection provides optimal mixture whatever the temperature or altitude. Four valves per cylinder (36mm intake, 32mm exhaust) provide optimum combustion efficiency, roller rocker arms reduce friction for better performance and reduced wear. Ceramic composite cylinder sleeves contain 100mm forged pistons for excellent durability and longevity. 9.5 : 1 compression ratio and aggressive cam timing produce plenty of power across the board and a distinctive exhaust note. Forged connecting rods ride a single crankpin for true V-twin sound and power. Smooth-shifting five-speed transmission feeds power to an efficient, low-maintenance belt drive. Sly cooling system routes liquid through hidden hoses and internal engine passages for air-cooled looks and liquid-cooled performance. Oil filter is easy to get to but also tucked nearly out of sight for clean, pure looks. Hydraulic cam chain tensioner reduces noise and maintenance.


• Chassis Features - The New 2011 V Star 1300 steel cradle frame has four solid engine mounts, including one atop the front cylinder head for maximum rigidity and excellent handling. Stylish, braced steel swingarm and rear wheel are controlled by a single linkage-mounted shock absorber, adjustable for spring preload. 41mm fork tubes with stainless covers look great and serve up a smooth, controlled ride. Flangeless fuel tank carries 4.9 gallons of fuel. Mounting the fuel pump in a separate, tucked-away sub-tank allows the thin tank design. Seven-spoke cast wheels and matching rear pulley mount fat, 16-inch tires for a cool period look albeit with big contact patches on the road. A pair of 298mm front brake discs provide excellent power and feel. Strong, light and low maintenance belt final drive routes power smoothly and efficiently to the rear wheel. The handlebar bend is changed, bringing the bars closer to the rider for a more relaxed riding position. The shape of the seat has been redesigned with a 'dish' shape for improved comfort, and it allows riders to touch the ground easily. A new 3D tank emblem design adorns the V Star 1300 and evokes a modern-classic look. The V Star 1300 2011 gets even more chrome: a new chrome headlight housing and chrome belt guard. Plus, there’s a new gloss black finish on the frame that adds a high-quality look.

• Engine Features - The New 2011 V Star 1300 Tourer 1304cc (80 cubic inches), 60-degree, SOHC, V-twin engine delivers smooth power to the ground, while maintaining the classic big cruiser sound and pulse characteristics. Fuel injected, each cylinder is fed by its own injector spraying into twin 36mm intake valves, while the twin bore design allows the computer-controlled system to feed a precise amount of fuel/air mixture to the engine. The result is strong, smooth and seamless performance across the full range of engine rpm. Four valves per cylinder (36mm intake, 32mm exhaust) provide optimum combustion efficiency, roller rocker arms reduce friction for better performance and reduced wear.

2011 Star Stryker Features

• Engine Features - The New 2011 Star Stryker equipped with 80-cubic-inch (1304cc) liquid-cooled, single overhead cam 60-degree V-twin with dual counterbalancers offers plenty of smooth performance. Computer-controlled twin-barrel fuel injection provides optimal mixture whatever the temperature or altitude. Ignition and fuel injection maps are optimized for Stryker’s performance character. Four valves per cylinder (36mm intake, 32mm exhaust) provide optimum combustion efficiency, roller rocker arms reduce friction for better performance and reduced wear.

Oil filter is easy to get to but also tucked nearly out of sight for clean, pure looks. New exhaust system, designed specifically for Stryker, adds to the awesome look of this bike while also optimizing its engine performance and it has a magnificent exhaust note.


• Chassis Features - The New 2011 Star Stryker delivers handling unmatched in this mid-size custom cruiser segment. And the steering head that is visible on this double-cradle steel frame helps give the bike its lean, lightweight image. The 6° yoke and raked triple clamps combine to provide a total of 40° of fork rake. This achieves the aggressive raked out styling image and solid straight-line performance you’d expect, while at the same time providing light, nimble handling characteristics, even at low speeds. Seat height is low, just 26.4 inches, letting the rider feel in rather than on the bike when riding, and enjoy having both feet planted firmly on the ground when stopped. Steel fenders, rather than cheap plastic fenders found on some competitors, are one of this bike’s authentic cruiser features. Steel fenders are ideal for customizers who want to cut, chop or modify their bikes. Cast wheels have low profile tires. A wide 210-series rear tire and 21-inch front wheel add to the aggressive attitude of the bike. The relaxed riding position is complemented by the carefully chosen handlebar position, which puts the rider’s arms comfortably level with the horizon, with a 'fists-punching-the-wind' attitude. When Stryker is parked, it’s sure to draw attention. Precision machined details abound, like the slit pattern in the headlight and meter. The rear fender over the wide rear tire is richly sculpted. It’s clear that this is no run-of-the-mill cruiser. Large 320mm front and 310mm rear discs provide serious stopping power.

A 6-degree yoke angle, the first ever on a street-legal Star Motorcycle, makes it possible to achieve that custom look as well as neutral handling and straight-line cruisability: 33-degree rake plus 6 degrees yoke angle gives total rake of 39 degrees and 102mm of trail. Custom 5-spoke wheels carry a 120/70-21-inch bias tire up front, and a wide, 210/40-18 radial out back, the tallest and widest ever on a Star. 46mm fork tubes serve a sweet appearance and an excellent ride through 5.1 inches of wheel travel. A tucked-out-of-sight single shock out back provides a smooth ride under varying loads. Flangeless fuel tank carries a full 4.2 gallons of fuel.
