See What I Paid: 2009 Yamaha Raider S 1900 + Walk Around, Cold Start Review Cobra Side Swept Exhaust

Great deal !😎

$3500 USD is about $4500 CDN. that's about half the price of what beat up ones are going for where I am. Dude that was a STEAL.

[@ChaosTrader63]

@@JonsMotoGarage I think the po-po looking for you! You didn't get a good deal, you stole the bike! Great find bro!

[@davidmullins3680]

Because of your videos on the yamaha raider. I just went and bought an 09. Wish I could have found mine that cheap but at 5000 I feel like I didn't do bad. Thanks and great videos

[@VerbolKint]

Just picked up this same bike yesterday for $2,600. It’s been laid down standing still so needs a little work. Can’t wait to get it cleaned up.

[@syzygy21055]

I bought my 2008 Raider S in 2012 for about $9K, so you almost flat out stole this one. In addition to the Cobra pipes, this one has a couple extra trim pieces that didn't come from the factory, namely the chrome belt protector and the chrome tips on the swing arms. I put those on mine too, they really help dress up the back end to match the front better.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Yeah, the extra chrome definitely makes it pop. I didn't even realize those were add ons. I'm still amazed that he was letting it go that cheap. Thanks for watching!

[@michaelwest4525]

What a steal , low mileage , new tires , exhaust , probably a tuner and filter . I have a 2009 Stratoliner I sold to my brother and bought it back 2 years later for 2500 , but putting new tires on for 800 . Has 20000 . I still got a good deal and love these bikes . I would do the Raider if I was younger but at 80 , comfort is first and foremost . I bought my 09 new in 2012 for 12000 , leftover 09 on sale .

[@borgware]

I gotta get me one of those... 2009 looks really good.

[@harryprater9014]

3500.00 is killer..! I have the identical Raider S..but a 2008. Same color, tribal paint, cobra exhaust,etc. Great bikes..!!!

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Heck yeah! I'm a huge fan of the raiders, although I've since sold both the ones that I had. All good though. I'll get another soon enough! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@bobdailey9735]

I SOOOOO overpaid for my 2009 Raider S. Only 3,900 miles, one owner, timeless black with dark red pinstripes, the factory wheels were chromed, PC5, twin K&N air box pods, V&H big radius 2 into 2 pipes and lots of aftermarket chrome pieces. Unfortunately the original owner hardly ever rode it. He never did ANY maintenance on it so ALL of the fluids and tires were original from 2009. I had to spend more money to replace two extremely dry rotted tires, engine oil and filter, transfer case oil, flush and fill both brake master cylinders and the clutch master cylinder. Paid $8,250 plus over $1,000 for tires and fluids. About $9,500 total but now I have a near perfect, spotless, chromed out , performance enhanced, super low mileage BAD ASS Raider S. Unlimited power, handles really good, only a tiny hint of vibration, brakes are phenomenal. Best bike I've ever owned. The only thing left for me to do is send the ECU to Ivans Performance for a reflash. It will make more power, raise the rev limit to 5,850 rpm's, lower operating temperature and smooth out the jerky throttle caused by overly aggressive engine braking because it's such an enormous motor. WHAT A BEAST!!!

[@JohnSkuta_Triple6Militia1]

It's currently April 18, 2023 I just bought a 2010 Raider S from Greensburg Pa YESTERDAY, for 4K with 10k miles on the clock, not as good a deal as this one, but damn close enough for me

[@pjs139]

Wow. You got a great deal. He could've gotten a lot more. I had a Black 2008 Raider and I sold mine back to the dealership and got a lot more. Great deal.

[@noflyzonnn]

I have same bike, same model, fitted with with the exhaust pipes. There is a vibration on handlebar at seat. Is it normal? Amazing motorcycle.

[@johncrowder7650]

Jon, you got the deal of the CENTURY on that bike. I would have bought that in a heartbeat just to have a spare sitting next to my 2008 Red/Flamed Raider S. WOW, very envious. Hope you kept that one! Sell pretty easily for double in that condition.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

It seriously was a ridiculously good deal. Sadly, I sold it and have been kicking myself ever since. Ugh.

[@davidestela2328]

I just send your comment end up 2009 Rider that you bought that's a beautiful bike that was a blessing for you enjoy the Bike I love motorcycles I'm 66 year I just sold my Harley I have a little health issue but so now I feel better I would like to buy a 2009 Raider many blessing for you

[@EDHBry]

Best deal I've heard of in a long time.

[@melbourne-heat.69-71]

I bought the same bike brand new same color in Pennsylvania... years later I was in Florida an old couple rammed into me pushed me into two palm trees totaled the bike.... and also totaled my body never walked the same again... 2 years later I purchased a Honda 1800 VTX another sweet bike... when I started riding I had two different Harleys I spent more time working on them then riding them when I went to the Yamaha Raider it had such a great feel to it I couldn't tell if I was on a Harley or Yamaha it had that same kind of feel to it where you would sit down low and reach out for the handlebars great bike... that's a hell of a deal you got...😎💰💰💰💰☠👋

[@samueljeppsen9785]

The fit and finish on the Raider and the Strats is as top quality as any Harley. And Harley is known for their fit and finish. Yamaha makes exceptional equipment.

[@itsahzthing3433]

Smokin deal, I’m impressed

[@rhoodj]

Is it so impossible to put the dual exaust on both sides😮😢😅😅

[@kenniitran]

Definitely, you got a best deal on this bike. I plan tp get another bike sometimes later and I will make a choice between this Yamaha Raider and Yamaha Stryker 1300. It is hard for me to make decision on these. Thx for sharing video bud.

[@toddcrockett]

Best deal I’ve ever seen. Sweet ride.

[@brewer4599]

I love my Dark Horse but would love to have a Raider in my garage also, awesome bike!

I’m looking real hard at these bikes ( might switch from my road king.. did I just say that.!?) though I hear Yamahas seats are funky to swap out..?

[@3613jeremy]

3500 you the man 4500 is the cheapest I've seen and that's usually triple the miles I'm trying to save up for 1 I had a 99 soft tail custom that I loved but was always trying to make it fast so this time I'm going after the faster bike

[@JonsMotoGarage]

You're gonna love the raider! Stay tuned -- I'm posting a vid today of a more in depth ride/review/impressions on the bike. I hadn't take it out for a while and forgot how much of a blast it is! I may have hit 100+ at the end of the vid. Lol. Thanks for watching!

[@DanGarrett23]

I love the Stryker and the Raider bikes. They are so cool looking and ride awesome! I have test drove both! Yes, you got an amazing deal!

[@JonsMotoGarage]

I'm a big fan as well. Stay tuned - I may pick up a stryker here very soon. Thanks for checking out the channel!

[@Nick-kp4pz]

raider vs warrior ? What do you recommend for decent power and handling ?

[@alfrede.neuman8611]

Never cared for the rear fender design on these bikes, but otherwise...they're about perfect.

[@rubentrevino5341]

Where do you go to get bike accessories? I have a 2009 Yamaha XV1900 Raider. Thanks in advance.

[@michaeltaylor3257]

I know of a 2014 with between 6k-7k miles on it. Not the S model and I think he wants $6,800. Whats your thoughts? It's clean with same exhaust.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

For the year and mileage, that seems pretty good. See if he'll take $6k...or maybe $5500. Hahaha. Most of the 2014 Raiders that I see are priced $7k plus. The exhaust is a plus for sure! Thanks for checking out the vid! Keep me posted if you pick that one up.

[@ut1004bp]

Yes, I would have bought it too. Did you check to see how much damage to the exhaust before you bought and after your scraping them in the court drive?

[@myrandomvideos3172]

Nice video man, but why does most raiders crank like the battery is low.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Honestly, I don't know for certain. I've heard it has to do with the high compression engines, but never did the research to confirm that/why. I used to encounter the same thing with the yamaha road star warriors (1700cc) as well as many of the big V-Twin Harleys (street glide, road glides, etc.). It seems to be the baseline.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

I looked at a yamaha roadliner today (same 1900cc as Raider), and that thing almost didn't start. Lol. Video to come...

[@edwinkubena9944]

To turn over such a large engine starters are geared low which is why it does that. Mine starts right up no problem.

[@syzygy21055]

All those Yamaha 1900 engines start that way. They used them on the Raiders, Stratoliners and Roadliners. I keep mine on a battery tender anyway, so never had a problem.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

@@syzygy21055 yeah, I've since hooked up my black raider to the battery tender al the time.

[@JorgeGarcia-pr1zt]

What is the name of those pipes where do you bought it

[@Yamaha_Bolt]

Is the rear fender also metal? Being air cooled does it overheat in slow moving traffic? No way I can justify a HD breakout after seeing your Raider videos

How much bro,can you shift it to Kenya,am really interested in having one 🇰🇪

The 1300 engine is smoother than a lot of the larger alternatives out there. But I don't mess with the 650 or 1100 anymore cause I can't stand the carbs. Such a pain on those.

Great deal! BTW Do you have a favorite bike in your collection? One that you'd never sell?
