Firehawk 11-14-2007, 07:27 PM Nope....sorry. Maybe there's stats on the Yamaha website.... HornetR1 11-14-2007, 07:30 PM yeah i didnt think about looking at the stats....hmmmm ill check it out! thanks Firehawk 11-14-2007, 07:32 PM No problem...s'what we're here for ;) :beer R1Lover 11-14-2007, 07:42 PM It looks like a little over 3000 RPM's Engine: Beautifully chromed and polished 40 cubic-inch (649cc), air-cooled, V-twin cranks out torquey low- and mid-range power with minimal engine rpm—maximum torque is reached at only 3000 rpm—for powerful, smooth cruising performance. HornetR1 11-14-2007, 08:07 PM lol nice!! thanks!:bow R1lover btw...love the new site...but umm...my post count isnt what it used to be from you know where...lol!! thanks again! R1Lover 11-14-2007, 08:11 PM Thanks bro, glad you like it, we just need to spread the word a bit more... I have been a little busy with work and haven't had a chance to push it lately... in time though I think it will be a great site... :) :beer One thing I found interesting on the V-Star was the really low RPM of max TQ & HP... it must be fun to ride with all that TQ down so low. :) HornetR1 11-14-2007, 08:17 PM yeah i wasnt into it at first wasnt the same...but now i think im getting more used to it!!! HAHAHA that star is sooooo damn pansie....mom had me take it for a spin and i just laughed the whole ride...i guess for her its good but it felt almost like a toy... she likes it though! and the tourque....didnt do much for me..:mopedlol southern118 02-03-2008, 05:24 PM the vstart 650 is a very boring bike but great bike for starters. dont let her upgrade to the 11 make her go to the 1300. if she gets a new one valerossi 02-03-2008, 05:30 PM It looks like a little over 3000 RPM's maximum torque is reached at only 3000 rpm I don't think that can be the redline... all it's saying it will reach maximum torque at 3000 rpm... a lot of engines can reach maximum torque at much lower rpm than its actual redline. Plus 3000-4000 rpm redlines seem way too low for any bike engine I've seen... :dunno macattack 02-03-2008, 05:43 PM I don't think that can be the redline... all it's saying it will reach maximum torque at 3000 rpm... a lot of engines can reach maximum torque at much lower rpm than its actual redline. Plus 3000-4000 rpm redlines seem way too low for any bike engine I've seen... :dunno I agree . I'm thinking the bike hits the rev limiter at just over seven thousand rpm valerossi 02-03-2008, 05:52 PM I agree . I'm thinking the bike hits the rev limiter at just over seven thousand rpm I think you've hit the jackpot for just over 7K... :mrgreen I just found something that will take everyone out of the dark, a speed calculator for the V-Star 650... Engine Redline (RPM) = 7200 :mrgreen Just select "V-Star 650" and scroll down to see "Engine Redline (RPM)"... http://www.users.qwest.net/~swanmanaz/Yamaha%20Speed%20Calculator.htm :val HornetR1 02-04-2008, 08:32 PM :lmao yea i actually had it set at 3k rpms !! thanks you guys so so so much!! im going to have her have it changed!! didnt quite seem right to me either but i mean i didnt ahve anything to go on.. thanks VALE i owe you one bro!!! :thumbup I agree . I'm thinking the bike hits the rev limiter at just over seven thousand rpm :thumbup thanks bro!!!
