Description

Designers and custom builders are stepping back to a time when the mechanical beauty of a motorcycle was highlighted in its styling. The Bolt R-Spec's simple styling, compact layout, V-Twin power and natural riding position combine to offer an incredibly fun riding experience.

Engine Features
  • Blacked out, 942 cc, air-cooled, SOHC, 4-valve per cylinder, fuel injected, 60° V-twin power plant pumps out impressive power & torque. Maximum torque is reached at 3,000 rpms, for relaxed cruising performance.
  • SOHC, pent-roof, 4-valve cylinder heads; 4-valve design optimizes breathing efficiency & overall engine performance at all rpms; 31.5 mm intake & 28 mm exhaust valves use friction reducing single valve springs; compact pent roof combustion chamber design & optimized squish area forces the fuel / air mixture toward the centre of the combustion chamber for more complete combustion & excellent power with reduced emissions; 25,000 km valve adjustment intervals
  • No fuss, traditional air-cooled engine design; cylinders have a tapered "V" appearance to highlight the V-twin engine design; cooling fins have been optimized for reliable cooling even in stop & go traffic
  • Specially designed roller rockers activate the valves; Y shaped roller rocker arms allows a greater amount of valve lift without causing excessive camshaft wear & friction; slipper portion of the rocker arm utilizes a needle bearing for reduced camshaft wear & reduced sliding resistance (friction)
  • Automatic cam chain tensioners reduce mechanical noise & simplify maintenance.
  • "Liner-less", ceramic composite-plated cylinder bores; ceramic coating sprayed directly on the aluminum blocks, eliminating the liners & reducing weight; excellent heat dissipation for consistent power delivery; ceramic coating enhances the thin film of oil between the cylinder & piston, reducing friction & increasing power; extended cylinder service life
  • Flat top, lightweight forged aluminum pistons; less reciprocating mass for fast engine response; reduced mechanical vibration for excellent reliability
  • Single pin style crankshaft; design accentuates V-twin engine character, pulse feel & sound
  • Wet sump lubrication system with easy access, spin on oil filter & drain plug for easy oil changes.
  • "Closed loop", dual bore, 35 mm throttle body fuel injection system with linear throttle response for easy riding; system uses throttle position sensor (TPS) to help optimize intake air flow & power; ISC or idle speed controller ensures a steady idle; 4 - hole injectors optimize fuel atomization & feature a dual spray pattern for more complete combustion chamber filling; "closed loop system" uses an oxygen sensor to "sniff" spent exhaust & automatically adjust the fuel / air ratio for reduced emissions; oxygen sensor is located before the mufflers, so the use of aftermarket "slip-on" mufflers will not affect the closed loop system; fuel injection benefits include; excellent throttle response, choke-free starting, steady idling during warm up, excellent fuel economy & reduced emissions
  • Classic side mounted 2.3 litre air box houses an easy access, a high-flow viscous paper-type filter.
  • Smooth-shifting, 5-speed transmission; optimized gear ratios match engine power for strong acceleration; 5th gear offers reduced engine rpms at highway speeds; clutch is an "outer pull" design for light, easy lever effort
  • Special narrow design belt drive final drive; narrow 21 mm wide belt design; cleaner & quieter than chain drive... no messy chain splatter; low maintenance... no regular adjustments or lubrication required; belt drive system simplifies customization
  • 2 into 1 exhaust system; large diameter header pipes for maximum flow; dual stage muffler produces a low, throaty V-Twin growl; heat shields protect rider & passenger from hot components; 3-way honeycomb catalyzer reduces harmful exhaust emissions
  • Maintenance-free transistor controlled ignition (TCI); produces a strong spark for fast starts; provides precise ignition timing / mapping for optimum engine performance at all rpms
  • Air Injection System injects fresh air into exhaust ports to fully burn any unburnt fuel, further reducing exhaust emissions.
Chassis Features
  • Tube type, double cradle steel frame; provides a natural riding position & roomy ergonomics combined with a low 690 mm (27.2") seat height; frame utilizes a rigid engine mounting system optimizing the overall chassis rigidity balance for superior handling; engine mounting position provides a low center of gravity for light, easy handling
  • Tube-type, steel, swingarm compliments the frame & features a dual shock rear suspension system.
  • Compact 1570 mm (61.8") wheelbase provides light, agile handling, for a fun riding experience.
  • 41mm KYB front fork offers 120 mm (4.7") of wheel travel; good ride comfort & compliance; chip guards help prevent fork tube "nicks" & protect fork seals
  • Single, 298 mm front disc brake features a floating, wave-style disc squeezed by a twin piston caliper; strong, confidence-inspiring stopping power; wave-style disc offers more surface area than a conventional round disc for excellent heat dissipation
  • Adjustable, premium, dual remote reservoir gas charged shock rear suspension. Rear wheel travel is 70 mm (2.8"); 5 - positions of spring preload adjustability to suit load and / or rider preferences; remote reservoir design keeps the shock cooler for more consistent damping performance
  • 298 mm rear wave-style disc brake is squeezed by single piston caliper; caliper mounted to the underside of the swingarm, reducing the centre of gravity for light handling; location also hides the caliper for a clean, custom look
  • Lightweight 12-spoke, cast aluminum wheels; front wheel size is MT2.50 x 19; tire size is 100/90 x 19; rear wheel size is MT3.50 x 16; tire size is 150/80 x 16; tubeless tires
  • New, 13 litre, slim design flangeless fuel tank; 2.8 litre reserve capacity (low fuel light illuminates); high capacity electric fuel pump
  • Short design, front & rear steel fenders for easy painting or customization.
  • Separate rider & passenger seats feature a dual texture, premium buckskin/suede design; good comfort & support; seat height is 690 mm or 27.2" off the ground, enhancing rider confidence; narrow design through seat-fuel tank junction makes it easier to get both feet on the ground; passenger seat can be easily removed if desired
  • Foot pegs are positioned more rearward than on a traditional cruiser for a more natural & upright riding position.
  • Conventional low handlebar offers an upright riding position; excellent rider comfort; bar can be changed to a different "bend" for easy customization or personal preferences
  • Triple clamp mounted LCD digital meter / instrument; functions include; speedometer, odometer, dual trip meters, fuel reserve trip meter (counts kilometers since low fuel light activated), clock & range of warning lights; self-diagnostic function; instrument functions can be "tabbed" through & reset using the RHS handlebar switch gear, allowing the operator to change instrument functions without taking hands off the bars.
  • "Vintage design" LED tail light.
  • 60/55 watt high intensity halogen headlight with chromed bezel.
  • The Bolt R-Spec is designed to be compact & slim, featuring clean, simple styling with the ability to easily personalize / customize the bike with a wide range of Genuine Star accessories.
