The only thing at the moment that comes to mind to me would be that the Stryker doesn't have a six speed tranny and I wish the key had been in the engine bay instead of behind the light.

I agree the 6th gear would be nice. I would like a small storage space where I could keep my puncture kit. Regards from Durban RSA.

i'm pretty happy with the way they went about the look of the bike. but i have to say they could have thought about some consideration into an alternate way to dress up the fender/rear.

Truthfully, I am pretty happy with how the STRYKER came out.. I think the RAVEN version should have less chrome or at least optional balckout pieces. I also agree that the key should have been placed elsewhere. The helmet lock is a joke... Maybe dual brake rotors in the front.

I agree with what everyone is saying...key..6th gear..dual brakes and I'll throw the headlight under the bus while we are at it. Personally I think the exhaust was over thought...a straighter path just would have made sense...but no matter who makes a bike, we all have our personal thoughts on what we like....oh and hey they could be cheaper

 

[AHam]

6th gear and a less UGLY exhaust. They should have just gone with a 2into1 in my opinion.

 

[raven_stryker11]

Stock radiator cover is UGLY!! Maybe a better key location, Speedomoter LED light could be a different color, and the RAVEN has too much chrome to me. With that said I would buy it again becuase I am really enjoying it!!!

Personally, I think the exhaust and instrument cluster are both hideous. At least I was able to replace the exhaust. I would love to find a normal gauge that I could replace the stock unit with. I dont like it being plastic and hovering up as high as it does. Overall I think they did a great job on the bike and mine is looking nastier with every aftermarket part.

 

[vicarc]

The stock helmet lock is a TERRIBLE idea, I think overall for the price it does not get any better, is there any other bike out there in the same price range that compares?? I mean SAME price range not 2000 more SAME.

 

[gator8]

OH...what I had in the back of my mind was I wish they would have designed a 1300 air cooled bike...like all thing there are give and takes...and we are just spit balling here....oh and why not just put on a 240 from the factory while your at it.

 

[strykenshane]

well, my thoughts are they did a whole lot right so there's not much room to complain about what they did wrong although i do agree with all the previous posts, this is just a really great bike right off the floor, looks like nobody is keeping it stock though

 

[middleagecrisis]

Anything I post as to what should be changed will get both types of head nodes. With that said I think the bike would have looked better stock with a different headlight, exhaust, and smaller air intake cover. Either way it's still a great bike for the price, besides I've only got the light to go as far as these three mods go! ;D

This could go on forever but diffently a 6 speed & the ugle boxy rear pivot arm

 

[middleagecrisis]

A LED touch screen with yamahastarstryker as the homepage. It could have a live streaming camera facing the road ahead so we could ride together.

 

[Natedog]

Ugly boxy swingarm
Tall Fuel filler neck or whatever you call that
Dual disk brakes up front
Too much plastic

 

[vicarc]

All the plastic helps keep the cost down, what we needed and we should all do is a 240 in the rear, it fixes up the speedo and it ried AWESOME!

 

[christopher]

I wasn't really talking about any of the thins that could just be swaped out. Instead what I was shooting for was for things that couldn't be fixed with a simple bolt-on replacement like seating position, gearbox, storage, rake, etc.... I too would like to have some kind of storage area. But after just sitting and staring at the bike I don't see how this could be accomplished without taking away from the form of the bike. I don't really know how hard it is too move the key to a new location. But I will have to if I do change my triple trees.

 

[straightjacket]

I'd really like adjustable suspension, instead of the base version? Dual discs, the rest leaves us something to change.

 

[bozzly]

They could have thought about the front peg area a little more.

 

[kingofleon]

Agree, pegs are too close, 240 tire stock, a little lower in the rear and sell it stock with led tail light strip.
