My experience with the Yamaha Roadliner up till now 6000 mi. The first time I washed it water leaked between the glass on the instrument panel making it unreadable. The transmission shift locks between first and second gear and continues to do so. The drive belt has a pulsating whine, when checked it goes tight and lose, so a pulley must be out of round or bent shaft. Every third or forth red light it would stall, although I think I have stopped that with a simple air adjustment. If you want to put decent exhaust on it you must leave the EXUP valve controller connected or you will get error codes, so for the duration you have a motor that makes nose but dose nothing. I guess it may run as well as they say at sea level but in Colorado you would expect more out of 113 inch with four valves. Top speed is closer to 90 than 100 so I expect to get passed by most cruisers now. As far as the low end torque, its there. The rear tire must be an uncommon size, very costly to replace. How ever the front tire is wearing faster.
