Yamaha XVS95CTF, XVS95CTFC Star 2015 Owner's Manual

The Yamaha XVS95CTF and XVS95CTFC Star, both from the 2015 model year, are embodiments of classic cruiser design combined with modern performance. These motorcycles are powered by an air-cooled, 942cc, SOHC, V-twin engine that delivers robust low-end torque and smooth acceleration. The engine features a 60-degree V-twin design with a pent-roof combustion chamber and a 9.0:1 compression ratio, ensuring efficient combustion and reliable power delivery. The fuel system is managed by a sophisticated electronic fuel injection (EFI) system that provides optimal fuel mixture under varying conditions, enhancing both performance and fuel efficiency.

The powertrain is mated to a five-speed transmission with a belt drive that ensures quiet, low-maintenance operation. The chassis is constructed from a double-cradle steel frame, providing a sturdy and stable ride. The front suspension system consists of a 41mm telescopic fork with 5.3 inches of travel, while the rear suspension is managed by a dual shock system with adjustable preload and 4.3 inches of travel, ensuring a comfortable ride over diverse road surfaces.

Braking duties are handled by a 298mm hydraulic disc brake at both the front and rear, offering reliable stopping power. The bikes feature a classic cruiser aesthetic with a long and low profile, complemented by a wide, comfortable seat and spacious floorboards. The instrumentation is straightforward and includes an analog speedometer, digital odometer, dual trip meters, and indicator lights. Additional features include a generous 4.7-gallon fuel tank, contributing to extended riding ranges, and a curb weight of approximately 657 pounds, which balances stability with maneuverability. Both models are designed to deliver a blend of timeless style and modern-day performance, making them ideal for both casual cruising and longer journeys.
