2015 Yamaha Bolt C-Spec

Additional Features

• Retro styled seat and removable passenger seat cowling.
• Clip-on handlebars with sport-styled switch gear.
• 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.

Chassis/Suspension

• Foot pegs that are moved up and back for a more aggressive riding posture. The repositioned handlebars and seat provide a sporty riding position.
• Old school fork boots and longer forks and shocks are used to enhance styling and cornering lean angle.
• A 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 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.
• Belt drive is stylish and extremely durable
• Low-set seat is a mere 30.1 inches off the pavement and allows the rider to get both feet on the ground during stops.
• 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.

Engine

• The 58 cubic inch (942cc) engine is an air-cooled SOHC 60º 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 R-Spec to deliver the best urban riding fun with strong acceleration. 3D maps for ignition timing and fuel injection have been developed and these settings deliver outstanding acceleration in the mid and low-speed ranges.
