2011, 2012, 2013 Vaquero
Hi forum,
I am considering a Vaquero. Besides external appearance changes are there any significant engine, tech or functional differences between those years? Thank you Login or Register to Remove Ads

Probably some wildly advanced technical progress in the 3011 model.

+1 om the 3011. I bet that thing flys. No really, I bet it really does fly.
The only differences that I'm aware of on any vaquero model is the available colors. There might be an abs version somewhere in the world. |

What Dale said. Just jerkin' yer chain. I kinda liked the green color but my tastes run a little wild.

I saw one of the green ones yesterday while I was out on a ride. That color is really beautiful live. I have seen pics but actually in front of you looks awesome.

There's still a few new 2011s out there that must be priced pretty good....

If I not mistaken you only have to travel to Canada to see the abs versions.

I've read of a few heat issues with the 2011's and that was fixed in 2012 by adding another fan toward the rear of the engine, I think. It's been awhile since I've read any of the threads about it though... so I could be wrong.

I installed a Toyz air filter kit, removed the plastic on the other side and them drilled a 1" hole through both baffle plats in both exhaust pipes and realized a dramatic increase in torque through out most of the power band and a much cooler running engine on my Vaquero.The bike sounds amazing with out increasing the decibels much at all and now I can lift the front up out of the hole with ease ;)

Well, I still say the black ones are fastest, but no one can see it cuz they are black ...
And they all suck money out of your wallet from all the mods you simply can't refuse to do ... sort of like taking the grandkids to the ice cream shop, no way you're getting out of there without spending some money!
