== Overview ==


Yamaha XVS 950 V-Star Bolt
R-Spec


















Bolt R-Spec version features include special
colors, remote reservoir shocks, cool textured-color stitched seat, and
blacked-out mirrors.
A new trend is emerging in the motorcycle world,
with a "back to basics" approach. Designers and custom builders are stepping
back to a time when the mechanical beauty of a motorcycle was highlighted in its
styling. The 2014 Bolt R-Spec's simple styling, compact layout, V-Twin power and
natural riding position combine to offer an incredibly fun riding experience.
Introducing Bolt R-Spec. Old school. New
thinking. Minimalist style. Modern performance. From its slim, comact
bobber-style design to its raw metal look and feel, it's everything you need.
And nothing you don't. The 2014 Yamaha Bolt R-Spec version includes special
colors, remote reservoir shocks, cool textured color stitched seat, black
fenders (on Camo Green model), and blacked out mirrors.
Featuring the fuel injected, 4-valve, V-Star 950
engine, the Bolt R-Spec utilizes an all new "less is more" design.

Simple and compact, with a low seat height, the Bolt R-Spec offers light, agile
handling that instills rider confidence. A new breed of "crossover", the Bolt
R-Spec is an interesting blend of cruiser features in a chassis that offers a
natural, upright riding position. A "raw metal" theme highlights the engine
styling, while the teardrop tank and limited bodywork showcase the Bolt R-Spec's
simple mechanical beauty. The R-Spec model features premium gas charged shocks
and a special upgraded seat.
The all-new Bolt R-Spec; back to basics with
forward technology for quick acceleration and maneuvering through the urban
maze.
Fuel Consumption ± 20kpl/57mpg(Imp)

Slim, compact chassis design

Simple, clean "less is more" styling
Premium piggyback dual gas shocks

Suede look rider and passenger seats
The Bolt R-Spec 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 R-Spec 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 riders face.
The Bolt R-Specs chassis design is entirely
new. Components such as the 3.2 gallon fuel tank, textured seat with colored
stitching, remote reservoir rear shocks, 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 R-Spec are limited only by the owners imagination. As we
say at Star motorcycles, we build it, you make it your own. And as the perfect
canvas for customization, Bolt R-Spec is the perfect example of that philosophy.

Engine:
942cc, air-cooled, SOHC, 4-valves per cylinder,
60° V-twin engine produces outstanding low- and mid-range torque. Maximum torque
is reached at only 3,000 rpm - for an exceptionally fun riding experience.

One-piece cylinder heads feature 4-valves per cylinder to provide optimum
volumetric or filling efficiency for maximum power output. The benefit of a
4-valve design is two smaller intake valves allow more air flow and a higher rpm
limit than a single heavier larger valve.
Pent roof type combustion design with optimized
squish area forces the fuel / air mixture toward the centre of the combustion
chamber (and the centrally located long reach spark plug) for faster, more
complete combustion and hence improved power and reduced emissions.
Cylinder heads feature brushed cooling fin
highlights for a quality appearance.
The SOHC valve train features 31.5mm intake and
28mm exhaust valves with single valve springs which reduce friction and power
losses. Specially designed "Y" shaped roller rocker arms activate the valves.
The roller rocker system utilizes needle bearings that "roll" directly on the
cam lobes allowing the lift of 2 valves at the same time without producing
excessive camshaft wear and friction.

Auto adjusting cam chain tensioners are used to reduce mechanical engine noise
and maintenance

Lightweight, "liner-less" aluminium cylinders feature ceramic composite plating
for superior heat dissipation for excellent cooling, less friction, reduced
weight and longer engine life. Cylinder cooling fins feature brushed aluminum
highlights.
Single pin style crankshaft is used to enhance
engine character and exhaust note.

 Lightweight forged aluminium pistons provide excellent durability while
reducing reciprocating mass for fast throttle response.

 Wet sump oil delivery system features an easy access spin-on type oil filter
and easy access drain plug. A traditional dipstick is used to check oil level.

Classic side mounted, 2.3 litre air box houses an easy access, high-flow
viscous paper-type filter. Its design highlights and compliments the V-twin
engine appearance. The outer cover features brushed aluminum highlights.

 Dual bore, 35mm throttle body fuel injection
system with TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) and ISC (Idle Speed Control). This is
a "closed loop" system that utilizes a heated oxygen sensor. The oxygen sensor
feeds back info to the ECU which in turn adjusts the fuel/air mixture for
maximum power with minimum emissions. The Idle Speed Control (ISC) maintains a
steady idle during warm-up as well as once the engine has reached operating
temperature.
4-hole, 2-directional spray, Denso fuel
injectors are used for excellent fuel atomization and more complete combustion
chamber filling. There is one injector per cylinder.
Fuel injection benefits include; improved fuel
economy, choke-less starting, reduced emissions, and smooth drive-ability. The
Bolt R-Spec has been tuned to provide a very "linear" throttle response for easy
riding.

Maintenance-free transistor controlled ignition (T.C.I.) provides a hot spark
for sure starts and strong engine performance.

Powerful 32 bit ECU controls the ignition and fuel injection process

Multi-plate "outer pull type'" wet clutch is
used. Lever pull is light and easy thanks to a special rubber damper system.

5-speed transmission features optimized gear ratios for excellent city and
highway drivability. Transmission gears use "straight cut dogs" for smooth,
positive shifting. 5th gear delivers outstanding cruising performance and
reduced rpms at highway speed

Adjustable gear shifter.
Clean, quiet belt drive system is extremely low
maintenance and simplifies customization. The 21mm wide belt utilizes carbon
fibre cords for excellent strength and reduced stretching.
 Air Induction System (A.I.S.) reduces harmful
CO and HC exhaust emissions.

Stylish 2 into 1 exhaust system features a 3-way honeycomb-type catalyzer at
the entry point of the muffler to reduce emissions. The rear header pipe
"snakes" toward the front cylinder in order to provide the necessary tuned
length, not to mention it is a key styling highlight too. The short design "dual
stage type" muffler produces a low, throaty V-Twin exhaust note.


Chassis and Suspension:
Tube type, single backbone, double cradle steel
frame offers a natural riding position, roomy ergonomics and a low seat height.
This frame utilizes a 4-point rigid engine mounting system to optimize the
overall rigidity balance for superior handling. The engine is mounted low in the
chassis to provide a low center of gravity for a light, easy handling feel.

Conventional tube-type, steel, short design
swingarm compliments the frame and utilizes a dual shock suspension system.

The Bolt R-Spec features a low (690mm / 27.2")
seat height. A very narrow design through the seat fuel - tank junction makes it
even easier to place both feet flat on the ground, an important benefit for less
experienced or shorter riders.

The compact (1570mm / 61.8") wheelbase provides light, agile handling, for a
fun riding experience.
The Bolt R-Spec is designed to be compact and
slim, featuring clean, simple styling with the ability to easily personalize /
customize the bike with a wide range of available accessories. The styling is
"Star Original Bobber" with a modern twist. The design invokes a sense of
dynamic forward motion and concentrated mass. The engine features "raw metal"
styling highlights.
 41mm front fork features plastic chip guards to
protect fork tubes and seals. Wheel travel is 120mm (4.7") for a smooth,
comfortable ride.

Lightweight, forged aluminum upper triple clamp and forged steel lower triple
clamp. The "pitch" between the fork tubes is 190mm or 7.5", which is well
proportioned to 100/90 series front tire.
Adjustable dual shock rear suspension. Rear
wheel travel is 70mm (2.8"). The 5-positions of spring preload adjustment allows
the rider to tailor spring preload to suit rider weight, load and road
conditions.
 Single, 298mm front disc brake features a
floating, wave-style rotor squeezed by a twin piston caliper for strong,
confidence-inspiring stopping power. The wave-style design rotor offers more
surface area than a conventional round disc for excellent heat dissipation.

298 mm rear disc brake is squeezed by single piston caliper mounted to the
underside of the swingarm. This design not only helps to hide the caliper but
also lowers the center of gravity for light handling.
Conventional low rise handlebar offers an
upright riding position for excellent rider comfort. The bar can be changed to a
different design for easy customization.

12 litre teardrop shaped fuel tank compliments the slim, compact design of the

Bolt R-Spec. The piston-type fuel pump is externally located.

 Separate rider and passenger seats offer excellent comfort and style. The
rider seat height is only 690mm or 27.2 inches off the ground. Both seats
feature a dual texture premium buckskin/suede design. The passenger seat can
easily be removed if desired.
Short design front and rear fenders are made of
steel for easy customization and demonstrate the quality of build.

All new, lightweight 12-spoke cast aluminium wheels are fitted tubeless tires.
Front wheel is an MT2.50x19 fitted with a 100/90-19 bias tire, while the rear is
an MT3.50x16 fitted with a 150/80x16 bias tire.

New, LCD digital meter assembly features a speedometer, odometer, dual
tripmeters, fuel reserve tripmeter (counts kilometres since low fuel warning
light activated) and a clock. Warning lights include; low fuel, oil level and
engine trouble. Right side handlebar switch gear allows the operator to "tab
through" or re-set the main instrument functions via buttons thereby eliminating
the need to take your hands off the bars.

 60/55 watt halogen headlight with chrome bezel
New, "vintage design" LED tail light features 19
LED's for excellent visibility. Chrome bezel adds another styling highlight.

New design turn signals with clear lenses and
black bodies. Automatic turn signal cancellation is standard equipment.

Additional Features:
Industry-leading Star family fit and finish

Extra wide front brake and clutch levers provide
a quality feel.

Upper & lower belt covers help prevent debris from entering the belt and pulley
areas

 Locking fuel cap and locking tool kit cover

Traditional style, fork mounted steering lock

Low-maintenance, sealed battery

 Lean angle sensor will kill the engine if the
bike has tipped over.
