Bought a 99 Silverado 1600 with just under 35k about a month ago and it is clean and mean. 3rd owner with the owner's manual.

That’s awesome! 35k ain’t bad at all if you keep up with maintenance she will last you many many years

I have had my 2005 Midnight Silverado for 10 years now. It has 46k miles and still has plenty of get up and go. I did have to have the transmission rebuild at 32k miles @ $1k so not terribly expensive. The saddle bags have much more room than the Harleys I rode. I just love the way the bike looks and I get A LOT of compliments on it. Although it has a bit more leg room than the Harleys that I used to ride, it's not as comfortable as my old Ultra Classic was on long distance. The Harleys also have a much smoother ride motor wise imo. The road star has very good handling but when the front tire gets a little warn, due to the rake, it is sensitive to ware.

Agree my Harley is definitely more comfy for long trips. Especially with all the fairings and windscreen. Wouldn’t have expected the trans to go at 32! That’s uncommon for these tanks from what I’ve read but I suppose anything can happen haha. I got a ton of compliments on my Roadstar too everyone said nice Harley! Then I had to break it to them it’s a Yamaha 😂.

What happened with the transmission? I heard they had some recalls. Love mine too.

Nice. Mine is the Yamaha Raider 1900.

That raider sounds like a sweet bike! If I get one soon I’ll definitely be doing a video on it.

I own a Yamaha Stryker 1300 ,so i cant imagine this beast. Yamaha rules.

@larsoned1 2 ай бұрын

That’s a slick looking bike. I actually just learned about the striker recently. Didn’t even know it existed! Looks almost similar in design to the road star warrior. It looks a lot lighter than this one too and I’ll bet power is pretty close too. I think the Stryker has upgraded cylinder heads.

Yamaha raider destroys this bike

@larsoned1 Ай бұрын

@@Aaaaa69999 sure but you’re comparing apples to oranges. This bike is a cruiser it’s not made to be a hot rod. The hot rod version of this bike would be the warrior which is just as fast if not faster than the raider.

Yeah! Yamaha do great bikes. I should say used to do because they don’t do muscle cruisers anymore. I own the Raider 1900

They can usually be had for pretty cheap! A lot cheaper than a Harley at least haha

tap the gauge real hard. fixed my gas and speedo today. it comes and goes after killing it so it could just be a loose ground in my case idk.

Good call!! Probably why mine fixed itself the more I rode the bike haha

Nice bike , btw a jet kit would do wonders for warm up and even more power it’s very noticeable!

I drove one like that and to turn it you really have to push those handle bar and if you throw some meat on the fuel tank you can make some bbq

@larsoned1 15 күн бұрын

Yep haha I ended up adjusting my bars so they don’t hit the tank anymore. Made it a little easier to turn also. Once you get used to the weight and balance of this bike it’s surprisingly easy to control and maneuver.

5k rpm is max for these bikes. Over that and you'll blow it unless it's built to handle it

@jonallen7191 Ай бұрын

Also, 1700cc converts to roughly 103ci and yamaha is known for having more power than listed .

@larsoned1 27 күн бұрын

I believe it! Bike has such good torque there’s no need for the high rpm’s. It’s probably why the redline is 4750. Also pretty sure there’s a built in rev limiter to prevent any damage. It’s a tank.

@@jonallen7191 These are 1670 = 101.9 cu. in. Yamaha themselves called them 102 cubic inch bikes. The 1600 ('99-'03) is/was a 98 cu. in. bike which is 1602cc.
