2000 Yamaha Road Star – Motorbike Bicycle
For instance, despite being so outwardly similar, Yamaha’s Road Star is cheaper than Harley-Davidson’s Fat Boy, it’s nearest competitor. grasshopper? The general consensus (or misconception) is that it’s harder to customize your Road Star than to customize a Fat Boy. A quick call to Yamaha had a “specially-modified” Road Star beckoning for a rider. Perfect. Accolades should be directed towards four factors, most important of which is the incorporation of a JE high-compression piston kit that raised the compression ratio from 8.3:1 to 10.25:1, a substantial increase in both compression ratio as well as the resulting power output. To feed the increased displacement, a 42mm Mikuni Flatside carb replaces the stock 40mm CV carb and breathes through a free flowing air filter. This “black-box” has settings for 10 unique throttle maps as well as the ability to increase the redline to 5,000rpm. The exceptions are the Vance & Hines exhaust system, pistons, air-flow upgrade parts and ignition box. The pistons, carb and air-filter kit, as well as the ignition box were provided by Patrick Racing (714-554-7223). Once again, the ever-present comfort vs. performance (or in this case “customance”) rears its ugly head. If the saying, “loud pipes save lives” holds even a thimble full of water, then anybody riding a big bore bike with these pipes will live forever.
