Riding The Raider - Motorcycle Lithium Batteries - Having Fun in Florida 2022

[@gregnutter4658]

I had a 2013 it is a beast. I loved the power it has. It's the best looking bike Yamaha ever made.

[@BernardoLora1]

Agreed. I may seriously consider buying one one day

[@Biker65]

That bike is so freaking beautiful.

[@ORflycaster]

Your neighbors probably don’t appreciate the video, but I do. I’m seriously thinking about one if I can talk myself out of a touring bagger instead. I can afford to start a collection right now.

[@joelenhardt111]

Rode my 2012 raider to Florida last year from NY. Looking for another trip down.

[@BernardoLora1]

Love that bike

[@RossMalagarie]

I have a 2012 Yamaha Raider S in Raven LOVE IT!

[@sonyafrager7863]

Bern, I need a ride!! Nice Bike...

[@shnarklevonbarkle110]

I could be wrong and I'm not telling anyone how to wear a helmet, but I think he's got his helmet on backwards. When you look at that style of helmet advertised online, the lip sticking out is supposed to be on the front like what you'd see on a polo player's head.

[@arthurraccio8582]

i have a raider also i love it im also from florida. love the bike it looks great

[@michaelb.42112]

I own the 2014 Yamaha Stryker, and I love it, so I can only imagine this beast. Harley What ? EDIT : Eveything YAMAHA makes is top shelf. I play a Yamaha bass through a Yamaha bass amp.

[@martygamble4723]

Greg Nutter, I have to respectfully disagree, I had a 08 Roadliner S. It was hands down the most beautifully styled bike to come from Asia. Due to a broken disc in my lumbar, I had to swap seats. The muffler looked odd, but the butterfly valve/ variable back pressure system made it scream ! I hate that I had to stop riding, that bike was a keeper!

[@ORflycaster]

I agree. Actually the Stratoliner Deluxe is my preference because that Art Deco theme can handle the extra bling and the luggage is handy and blends well with the bike’s lines.

[@israfales85]

i still have my raider since 2012. i dont think im ever gonna ger rid of it

[@dangalli1]

Just under 100 horsepower I believe, it's an 1854/113. Nice bike, I've got an '06 Yamaha Stratoliner which has the same engine.

[@MrTom423]

Awesome motorcycle!

[@paullagueux3902]

Lot of Cleaning to do ✨ but worth it ...🐎💨💨

[@juniorg7121]

I too have a 2011 raider and I’m not liking how slow my bike starts. Thinking I might have to do what you did for the starter and really along with a new battery..

[@lithobreakerf.5373]

I just bought an 09. As I understand, that’s normal for these bikes. Even with brand new batteries they start the same.

[@GRADGRAD-jq9nk]

That’s a Hemi on that bike!

[@harrypalmer7169]

Wow and then some.

[@paullagueux3902]

2010 S Model . Runs ahead of the big dogs 🐎💨💨💨💨

[@237KMT]

I love it.

[@thedon7726]

It is nice!!😂

[@paulpalacios8681]

How did you get them wheels chromed? Would love to have mine worked on too. Thanks!

[@tadgh123xx]

What are those pipes ?? Are the baffles out

[@3613jeremy]

The picture your showing of the rear before the turn signal delete isn't the ugly all plastic oem. The picture u showed was the kuryakyn license plate kit that's impossible to get.

[@wesleycrawford438]

Where u get your front fender???

[@paulr.3220]

I have been riding my 2004 RoadStar Midnight for 19 years with about 60K miles of smiles. It has never been to the shop. If the Raider, with the extra power turns out to be just as reliable, it is a keeper for sure. It is nice not being part of the herd.

[@Bass.Player]

Nice bike, I ride a Road Star. Yamaha makes good cruisers...

[@asadniazi9256]

how much cost you to chrome both tires?

[@milesbanks]

What kind of seat is that?

[@rickwartell5331]

Do you still have the old kuryakyn license plate holder? I'd like to purchase. I just purchased the exact same bike chrome wheels and all.

[@日本の侵略者]

what brand is seat?

[@PYTHONOPTICS]

That looks like a cobra. Do you have to adjust fuel injection or mapping to have it run properly? Seems like this is the best sounding bike out there

[@stevethecross2727]

Nice bike . Maybe after I loose my current GS bug . Sorry little dude but I'm thinking my GS might be a challenge for ya .😉

[@stevethecross2727]

It's doable though, I've seen a 5ft lady riding one at a rally once . Actually, she could do stuff on that bike I can't do.

[@davidbrooks4285]

The 2023 Kawasaki Vulcan 1900 only has 60 HP

[@a.c713]

how do you upgrade to a 240 tire

[@Diirjerry]

No prep is needed. The 240 fits with no mod. If you're a big guy you should increase the preload on the spring. Some have fit as big as a 250 with no mod, but I've heard mixed on rubbing.

[@a.c713]

@@Diirjerry thanks for the info

[@a.c713]

@@Diirjerry should I use the same rim

[@Diirjerry]

@@a.c713 Absolutely. No mods are needed except adding more preload if you're on the heavy side.

[@joelenhardt111]

The 240 raises the bike ~3/4 inch. I’m going back to the 210 next tire. I want it lower

[@ericbarcus1694]

What tuner did you install?

[@Diirjerry]

Dynojet Yamaha Raider 08-13 Power Commander V

[@Morten_Nielsen1979]

Which pipes? Did he say LA Chopper?

[@BernardoLora1]

Yeah. They sound sweet

[@robertstites7914]

What was the brand of them pipes

[@BernardoLora1]

LA choppers

[@RossMalagarie]

@@BernardoLora1 its those or the Freedom Performance Sharp Curve Radius for me they both look and sound great

[@237KMT]

LA Choppers Wicked Curves Nasty Boyz

[@guyfuller1369]

Bike’s a stunner! Any idea what make is your friend’s helmet? Hope y’all ignored the idiotic helmet comment made eight months ago.

[@probutenko]

Крутой 🔥

[@Biker65]

Why don't they still make cool looking motorcycles like that? Yamaha motorcycles are nowhere near as cool now.
