ENGINE

1,670cc, air-cooled, long-stroke, OHV, 8-valve, 48° V-twin powerplant pumps out lots of low-rpm torque. Max torque occurs at 2,500 rpm.

4 valves per cylinder provide optimum breathing efficiency while 2 spark plugs per cylinder ensure complete combustion for maximum power output. Max torque occurs at 2,500 rpm.

Hydraulic valve lifters driven by twin crankcase-mounted camshafts deliver exceptional torquey performance and reduce maintenance needs.

Twin crankcase-mounted camshafts activate the valves via hydraulic valve lifters and pushrods.

Traditional pushrod valve actuation keeps overall engine height down for a lower centre of gravity. Pushrod tubes are chromed, adding to the beauty of this unique high tech, yet traditional, engine.

Large-diameter, forged pistons offer great durability and lighter weight for fast engine response.

Large bore ceramic composite-plated cylinders provide uniform heat dissipation, reduce weight, reduce friction and increase cylinder service life.

Cooling fin thickness is optimized for maximum heat dissipation, thereby eliminating the need for liquid cooling, maintaining that traditional clean, air-cooled engine appearance.

Electronic fuel injection with TPS features a single 40mm throttle body with dual injectors (one for each cylinder). The throttle position sensor is linked to the ECU and supplies info about throttle opening so the ECU can adjust ignition timing for optimum engine performance at all rpms.

High-capacity air intake system with paper type air filter provides maximum breathing for optimum performance.

Smooth-shifting, 5-speed transmission with 5th gear overdrive delivers outstanding cruising performance and reduced rpms at highway speeds.

Clean, quiet belt drive system is extremely low- maintenance and simplifies customization. Special narrow design drive belt and sprockets (front and rear) provide lightweight performance and exceptional durability.

Dry sump lubrication system with handy, spin-on oil filter, creates a lower centre of gravity by helping reduce overall engine height. The oil tank is located under the seat.

Large-flywheel crankshaft delivers superior, low-rpm torque and that incredible V-twin “pulse” feel.

2-piece heel-and-toe shifter adds versatility and enhances the overall cruising experience. The 2-piece design allows the rider to individually adjust front and rear portions to suit foot size or remove the rear section if not desired.

Electric starting system features solenoid-activated auto-decompressor for easy, no-hassle starting.

2-into-2 exhaust system features beefy, staggered, dual shotgun pipes that produce a soulful V-twin exhaust tune. Muffler replacement is fast and simple, if desired.

Lots of high-quality chrome engine covers

Air Induction System (A.I.S.) reduces exhaust emissions (CO + HC).

 

CHASSIS/SUSPENSION

Solid-mounted engine housed in a specially designed gusset-less, double-cradle frame

Long 1,685mm (66.3″) wheelbase creates a long and low retro profile, great rider comfort and solid, stable handling.

Spacious ergonomics provide ample legroom, which maximizes rider comfort.

43mm front forks provide 140mm (5.5″) of wheel travel to smooth out the ride. The large-diameter upper fork shrouds, lower fork legs, upper triple clamp and handlebar clamp are accented with a brilliant chrome finish.

Spring preload-adjustable, single-shock, rear link suspension lowers centre of gravity for better handling and a plush ride. Rear wheel travel is 110mm (4.3″).

Rear shock is horizontally mounted under the engine and tucked out of sight, providing that classic, hardtail look.

298mm front disc brakes feature ultra rigid, monoblock, 4-piston calipers with chrome “buttons” accenting the outer piston covers. The dual disc brake set-up eliminates the unsettling twisting effect of a single disc set-up found on most cruisers.

320mm rear disc brake with 4-piston caliper provides excellent stopping power and feel.

“Police-style” windshield offers great wind and weather protection while proudly displaying the Silverado insignia. This windshield offers two positions of height adjustability, and for those riders who prefer a “convertible”, the windshield can be quickly removed.

Rider seat offers great comfort and support.

Passenger backrest provides that extra peace of mind for your special companion.

Colour-matched, hard saddlebags with chrome accents offer 35 litres of storage space per bag. The bags are lockable and fitted with handy, one-touch latches.

Full-size, floating-type rider floorboards are roomy and comfortably positioned while also helping reduce vibration.

Passenger floorboards provide roomy comfort and reduce vibration.

Deeply valanced steel fenders combine timeless styling with rugged durability and easy customization.

Nine-spoke, cast aluminum wheels not only reduce weight and maintenance (no spokes to tighten), but they also add a sportier styling image to the Road Star Silverado S. Tubeless, bias ply tires are standard equipment.

18 litre fuel tank provides an exceptional cruising range. The FI electric fuel pump is located inside the tank. Fuel tank seam is hidden for that clean, custom look.

Wide, swept-back, 1″-diameter handlebars reduce vibration on the rider’s hands thanks to being rubber mounted. The one-piece handlebar clamp is beautifully chrome-plated.

Beautiful braided-look steel throttle and clutch cables enhance that the Road Star’s stylish custom look and image.

Tank-mounted speedometer features a stylish design with raised 3-D marks to highlight the speed graduations. Instrumentation includes odometer, dual tripmeters, clock and a fuel gauge plus a range of indicator lights.

Eye-catching, diamond-shaped, LED rear taillight with white lens looks like it is straight off a fully customized machine. The LED design not only provides a bright light, but also uses less power.

Stylish turn signals with custom looking clear lenses are self canceling

Rear turn signal mounting bracket is beautifully chromed and features a built-in license plate light.

Value added passing lamps not only enhance styling, but also provide additional illumination.
