WOW....Thank you Joel for the info..!!!. I have heard there are fuel pump problems...maybe not..The starter info is very valueble !! Mine is an 08 Raider,,,again Thank You !!!!
Ha, my first language is German so I had to listen several times to the connecting jumper wire to starter hot post.. nice information
Joel, YOU'RE THE MAN! This is valuable info for us Raider owners, thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks man! This is actually a useful video. Ride safe!
this is really appreciated
Dziękujemy i pozdrawiamy
Nie ma za co
Thank you, Brother
Just bought a 2008 yamaha raider s. The fuel lines have pilot valves in them. Just out of curiosity should those be opened all the way?
yes
@@joelsuarez4251 thank you
Man you rock! great info.
2013 Raider , no issues after 26000. Wish me luck!!!
She still breaking in 🙂
TY for the tips
is it easy to take off? do u need to unhook the battery before pulling the starter out?
Super easy to removed , just disconnect the cable to starter there's no current Goin through as long the ignition is off.
That's very informative
Joel, can you share the torque specs for bolting this new starter on? Also, can we just buy the better than stock starter if everything else is working fine?
Torque spec for the starter bolts 7.2 ft • Ib)
buy this one DB Electrical 410-54268 Starter very good reviews from others, Amazon specs says it will not fit the Raider, but it does and fits all year! Prices are going up on everything i paid $168.00 plus tax and now is listing for $180.00

Hi Joel, I really appreciate your videos and the effort that you put in to it.
I own a 2015 Raider bullet.
The tires it starting to wear out a little to much and I looking to go with a 240 rear tire.
Does that size tire goin on stock rim ,and do I have to do any modifications.to the swin arms?
Hi there no modifications fits like a glove. Best rear tire is the Avon I can get 18k out of it. They do run a bit more expensive but last way longer than the rest.
Thank you brother.
So what all new on the raider have rhwy changed from 2008 tell now. I bought my 2008 with 12000 miles on it. So far my starter relay went out and fuel relay. Only had it 2 weeks.
As the bike gets older this what I have replace: fuel relay-Stater motor- triple tree bearing upper and lower, and Fuel pump assembly, Next is my front fork seals, they aren't leaking but sticking, my bike has 72K and Is a 2013, but not everyone has same issues.
How is that db electrical starter holding up for you? I'm considering picking one up on amazon for my 08 as a preventative measure. I just dont know if it will last as long the oem
Perfect 100% Better than OEM, my OEM starter was a mess since day one brand new bike, some Raiders have good ones most, crank like a weak battery.
One of the best looking Raiders man... and the sound. I'm almost thinking of selling my 15' Stryker for a newer Raider.
Wished we could buy'm in Australia.
awesome video, i have an 09 , ive been scared to ride as my raider wont turn over some times after i ride then stop, then it does, i was thinking it was the start button, but this sure sounds like a fix, Wish i could ride with ya bro !!!!!!!!!
A bad starter will kill the battery and relay, I suffer this for 4 yrs, always thought i was going to be stranded!
why won't my raider start or the starter turn over when the battery maintainer says the battery is fully charged?
Nice to know... I bought the 2015 Yamaha Raider V1900... This is very helpful information
I have 09's.
I experienced the trouble of the starter relay last year.
Distance to the home is 700km.
I was able to understand importance on seeing this video again.
Thank you very much. Will take care from now on.
Thanks for the video im looking at getting a raider after my last bike got totaled, this video was very informative
nothing MUCH have changed. no. absolutly nothing at all, changed. didn't need to. Any parts can fit any year model
Mechanically Slipper clutch was the only thing that was updated after 2012 and Cosmetically in 2015 led turn signals an the Bullet cowl black edition was introduce.
@@joelsuarez4251 the first one I didn’t know about that. But for the second one, up here, we have trick gov and stick with the original. I learned that when I saw the Rocket 3 with different lights from our version. To me it’s just lights but government see it differently. That why I was not aware for this one
@@joelsuarez4251just bought a 2015 Bullet Cowl with 2k miles. Anything I should look out for? I am getting an Ivan flash on the ECU, new Metzler Cruisetecs and Freedom Performance Sharp Curve pipes
oh and my new starter is due in friday, !!!, sorry to blow up your chat,,
Joel in a earlier video u said that you had chopped off 6 inches off your stock exhaust what point did you measure from! Can you point it out please
I went from a Stryker to a Raider. Both are fun rides. Thanks for the info. I'm only at 12K miles and no issues so far.
I sat on a striker for first time. O my gog it felt good and comfortable. I bought the raider realize it more little bigger and sporty. So is it better just go out replace all the problem right out or wait to see how much riding I can do before it happens. Your thoughts. Please and thank you.
kind of off topic but, when i bought my raider, the little led readout on the speedo was dim , so i thought, turns out it was melted some, i guess from the sun sitting out side, i looked and only fix is a whole new speedo , 500.00 , few years later and l e d screen is now all the way off, any ideas ? . any aftermarket speedo ?
Oem only, or use in Ebay, also join raider forums in Facebook lots of parts there for sale.
Good info!! I really like the look of those mirrors! I'd like to know where I can find some like those. Thank you
This mirrors i did shaved some material to make them horizontal! I explain the process on the video walk around.

Thank you! I'll check out your other videos.
Yamaha needs to bring the raider back… I would definitely buy one
Most air-coole big vTwins bikes aren't meeting the Eoru 5 emissions and the manufacturer are just canceling productions.
Need to sell'm in Australia, Harley would never sell theirs again . LOL
@@brumbywal8432 lol
Dude, thank you very much. I jus5 bought a 2014 Raider. I'll be buying those different parts as back up, just in case.
By the way, where are you located?
Sebring Florida
@@joelsuarez4251do you know if the 2015 Raider is compatible with this starter? Just was wondering if it would crank it over faster or if they made OEM improvements by 2015
Thanks for the helpful video!
@@chistatemutha 2008-2017 all the same, for the starter.
Thank you for the great advice.
The biggest issue is the already under powered tiny battery the 14b is only 2.70" wide and most batteries are 210 CCA for a huge high compression long stroke V-twin where your average HD battery is a 14-bs at 3.5" wide with much more CCA and the week battery will kill the starter and relay the hard to find parts are aftermarket cosmetic parts and the fuel pump cracking is a common issue for anything that sits with a plastic fuel pump specially the cold weather states.
Agree with you not sure what Yamaha was thinking. Last battery i had melted under my sit almost left me stranded in the mountains last April
@@joelsuarez4251 exactly if they would of made the battery holder 1" wider we could run a 300+ CCA battery but the highest rated I can find is 220 CCA there are people selling batteries claiming they're 280 but when you start researching them the number starts dropping to 210, 180 even 120 CCA most single cylinder dirt bikes use bigger batteries I love my 09 even after it used my knee as a pillow there torque monster's specially once you let them breathe but these tiny batteries are the stupidest move
@@3613jeremy that’s why lithium batteries comes into place with 300cca+ for the same size and way less weight it is under 1kg. Ahh and you even don’t need bother with tender for winter storing as that battery barely discharge.
Def a solid unit . Ive had mine since 2009 or 10. Was a new leftover . I never had an issue other than the fuel sending unit but it was still under warranty & was able to get that fixed .
My Raider drags when I go to start it ! ,you think its the starter?
1st thing is to make sure you have a good battery. Next If it drag or slow crank especially when the motor is hot with a good battery, I would replace the starter.
y0 bruh, what mirrors u using? the view ok? are they shake alot or stable?
Depending on road surface and engine Rpm, view is perfect. Mirrors aren't top notch but works for me.
@@joelsuarez4251 how can I find it(name) via worldwide marketplaces?
Joel, I'm a 2014 Raider owner, I love my bike...I just recently started hearing some weird kind of rubbing, chirping sound.....seems like it's suddenly coming from the back tire around the belt pulley! I get this guy feeling that my belt is loose..but I'm waiting for my belt tensioner device to be delivered. At 19 lbs, I understand what the deflection supposed to be. My problem is I don't have a garage or driveway... maybe I place a sheet 😂 plywood...then jackstands or think boards with multiple lakes!!!
Mostly likely the belt needs alligment. If it is, I usually spray a little bit of wd40 wipe off the belt and is gone, some people rub sop on the belt also, the belt tension is 10LB.
What belt tensioner are u talking about?
Hi buddy! What are the names of your handle grips? Thanks
They are the stock ones from Yamaha
Okay, thanks... I just bought a nice Raider, but the only ugly thing that I have on it, is the grips... Some sort of worn bad plastic chromed, with River cushions, that the chrome has came off
Sometimes the clicking noise can be your starter button if it has corrosion on the contacts
Very rare on this bike, but can it happen anything is possible.
@@joelsuarez4251 I own two yamaha roadstars. Its a pretty common issue with those bikes, and the starters on those bikes suck as well, but to remedy it I just replaced the old starters with those from a yamaha warrior, better quality and starts in cold weather better.
Joel, where are you riding? Looks like east Florida. Probably A-1A. Maybe North East Florida?
Yes during this filming I was on the east coast near Daytona Beach area.
Nice!!!
I have a question. I am 5 ft. 8, 200 lbs. I have a 30" inseam. will I be able to ride this bike? I just want to be flat footed if I get one of these.
Yes sir you be perfectly fine! am 5.5 162 pounds 29 inseam and i can flat foot, the exhaust on the right makes it a bit awkward on the leg position, but not an issue.
Had the starter fail on mine, the adhesive securing the magnets to the housing failed. I re attached them and we back in business!
Yup
There’s no shortage of parts, Raider was essentially produced without change for over ten years.
Keep dreaming.
Where can I find an adjustable lowering link set up like the one you have installed? I have a 2012 model if that helps. Having a hard time finding this.
They are becoming harder to find: This company had them but i see now is Sold out! i will keep searching may want to call them and see if they can order you one.

Joel, Have you had your valves adjusted? I have heard that it needs doing every so often at a cost of $1000.
The Raider has hydraulic lifters but the manual still says to Check or adjust them @ 16k, I have never done it and i am at 70K Plus I guess it depends how hard you ride..
Thanks for the video, I'm sure I'll find it useful in the future. I ride a 08 Warrior that I absolutely love 🔥
Some how I like the look of the warrior over the Raider, if only the warrior came stock with a 240 rear.
Hey Joel, I just found your channel (and subscribed) while researching the Raider. I've found a 2014 Raider with 15K miles. Did Yamaha have the weak 3rd gear fixed by 2014?
Hey thank you! That's not going to be an issue for the Raider especially 2015, those are isolated issues but not common.
@@ORflycaster If it makes you feel better my Raider has 70K on factory engine/Transmission and clutch. This bikes are as good as it can get, they aren't perfect but but close enough.
What do you think about third gear, if this is also a problem in this engine?
A rare issue not common, but do watch out for 2008-09 with lifter issues, Yamaha did a recall on this so most of them were corrected.
Joel, do you think the wic cranking when the bike starts it could be the factory battery, and if i have to replace the battery, wich battery is a better option.
My bike crank weak since new even with new batteries, but if you notice that it just started to do it recently, then I would start with a new battery. I have mine replaced with the OEM battery. Because my bike was sold with life time battery replacement.
2nd step if continues is replacing the starter which is a common issue on some Raider s including nine.
Thank you for the info!
Awesome video man. Straight to the point and rife with what I needed to know. Cheers
So looking at one of those 2008's; what y'all think?
2008 was the first year production of the Raider, nothing wrong with that but keep in mind they had lifters issues, Yamaha had recall them all so the issue should have be corrected.
@@joelsuarez4251 much obliged kind Sir!
Absolutely nothing wrong with OEM fuel pump or starter relay. Fuel pump goes bad when owners run tank dry. Starter relays almost never just go bad (less than 10 years or 100k miles)...starter is fine and easy to access to clean it out, polish commutator, etc. Should probably have more of a mechanical background before blaming Yamaha lol
You must be on denial or never own a Yamaha Raider. Mechanical background has nothing to do with parts failing. What i have experience most of the issues I started having was around 60k @ 7 years of ownership, a fuel pump housing should never fail because the fuel light is on! My Factory Relay went bad and the aftermarket melted away and my starter was weak since day one! They are other having fork leaks and clutches going out and i have not experience that yet. This isn't my first bike and most Japanese's bikes rarely has the Raider issues. Maybe you should joined the Raider Forums before talking nonsense.
@Joel Suarez Very interesting, I bought a 2009 after the owner gave up on reliability, he said he had an ignition switch problem according to check engine light code previously. He has replaced the electrical switch, starter relay and starter. Maybe the check engine code was related to the starter relay not turning on the fuel pump? He still thought the problem was related to the ignition switch and not the relay or starter. Have you experienced the check engine light coming on with your problems? Thanks!
No I have never had check engine light come on. But my question for you is does the engine turns over?
Bought mine when it first came out in 2008 and it's been good to me. I have no issue with my raider since the day I have own it.
Low miles don't count
The issues I mentioned happened to me after 65K plus and are pretty normal on the Raider.
