Yamaha Bolt 2014 models, features, prices
features
·
The Bolt is stripped down and devoid of
chrome parts and epitomizes the “Urban Performance Bobber” look. The compact
chassis proudly showcases the 58 cubic inch (942cc), air-cooled, 60° V-twin
sitting at the heart of the bike.
·
The Bolt uses modern technology to create a
riding experience superior to other similarly sized machines. Even fuel
injection and ignition timing maps have been carefully chosen specifically for
this bike to deliver class-leading performance with strong low- and mid-range
torque sure to bring a smile to every rider’s face.
·
The Bolt’s chassis design is entirely new.
Components such as the 3.2 gallon fuel tank, belt drive, front and rear wheels,
digital meter and steel fenders are new, creating a unique and fresh style.
·
The slim body and low seat design combine to
give the motorcycle light maneuverability and a stable handling feeling. The
upright riding posture helps the rider feel the wind, hear the sounds, and
experience the pulse of the machine.
·
For riders who value personalization, the
options for the Bolt are limited only by the owner’s imagination. As we say at
Star motorcycles, “we build it, you make it your own.” And as the perfect
canvas for customization, Bolt is the perfect example of that philosophy.
Engine:
·
The 58 cubic inch (942cc) engine is an
air-cooled SOHC 60ยบ V-twin with four valves per cylinder, a pent-roof shaped
combustion chamber, and 9.0:1 compression ratio. The engine is designed to
provide excellent power and superior low-end torque.
·
To keep friction loss to a minimum and help
the engine achieve the ideal performance characteristics, special roller-type
rocker arms with needle bearings are used. These also reduce top-end weight for
excellent mass-centralization.
·
The combustion chamber shape was precisely
engineered to direct the fuel/air charge to the center of the piston for more
efficient combustion and maximum power. Ceramic-composite-plated cylinders
provide excellent heat dissipation and reduced oil consumption.
·
High-quality forged aluminum pistons have a
lightweight, high-strength, compact design that contributes to reduced
vibration.
·
Sophisticated fuel injection is used on the
Bolt to deliver the best urban riding fun with strong acceleration. 3D maps for
ignition timing and fuel injection have been developed and these new settings
deliver outstanding acceleration in the mid and low-speed ranges.
·
The stainless steel air cleaner cover
provides a “raw metal” look that accentuates the Bolt’s distinctive styling.
And the air cleaner design helps provide great intake efficiency and enhanced
torque characteristics.
·
A 2-into-1 exhaust pipe layout on the right
side of the engine contributes to the lively performance and styling of the
machine. The minimalist-style exhaust system delivers a throaty and pleasing
exhaust not.
·
The clutch uses a rubber damper to reduce the
fatigue that can come with frequent engagement/disengagement in stop and go
city traffic. Riders will certainly appreciate the extra comfort the design
provides.
Chassis/Suspension:
·
A newly designed double-cradle frame enhances
city riding enjoyment. The engine is mounted to the frame as a stressed member
with a rigid mount system that provides precise handling.
·
The low-set seat is a mere 27.2 inches off
the pavement, so most riders can easily put both feet firmly on the ground at a
stop, as well as enjoy the great riding position the seat provides.
·
Bolt’s short, 61.8-inch wheelbase contributes
to the bike’s lively handling, providing for tight turns in city riding and
solid handling on the road.
·
The beefy front 41mm fork tubes offer
excellent suspension performance and the twin rear shocks, which include
piggyback style gas chambers, have been tuned to provide great comfort and
handling while contributing to the machine’s low profile.
·
At just 21mm wide, the drive belt contributes
to the slim and clean look of the rear end. This newly designed belt has a
carbon-fiber core which adds strength and durability for longevity.
·
Newly designed 12-spoke cast wheels are used
to provide strength and toughness. Bridgestone® 100/90-19 size front and
150/80-16 size rear bias-type tires help provide excellent road grip.
·
The 298mm front disc brake and 298mm rear
disc brake both use wave rotors, the style usually found on sport bikes. The
front brake uses a floating-mount for great heat-distortion resistance,
contributing to excellent braking performance.
·
The 3.2 gallon fuel tank is a traditional
teardrop style, with a slim shape that includes flattened top and side surfaces
to enhance Bolt R-Spec styling.
Additional Features:
·
A round, smoked-lens LCD digital speedometer
adds to the modern take on the traditional bobber style.
·
LED rear taillight looks cool and adds to the
modern bobber appeal.
·
Steel front and rear fenders are ideal for
personalization, including paint and customization.
·
Solo rider saddle adds to the minimalist
bobber look
