Road Star
How do like your V-Star 1300, with its new Fuel Injection engine?
Do you like it better then the Road Star 1300 with its more traditional Air-cooled V-Twin Carbuerated engine?
I big to differ Nomad. Check out this link: http://www.roadstarmagazine.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=305
Although now that I look at the specs more closely I see that the Road Star is a 1670cc engine. That might make a fair comparison a bit difficult.
Uhhh… What Road Star 1300? No such animal there ace.
The Royal Star 1300 and the Venture 1300 are the only other 1300’s in Yamaha’s line up. That engine is a liquid cooled V-4.
Kind of hard to compare apples to oranges…
************************************************************
The 1700 and 1900 engines are basically just as antiquated as the 1100 engine is on the one hand. Both air cooled, both mechanical tappets, but the Roady is also a push rod motor. On the other hand, the big inch engines are both torquey as all get out and a blast to ride. But! There are a BUNCH of recalls out on the 1600,1700 & 1900 powered bikes right now. Everything from transmission issues to ignition problems.
The V-4 1300 engine is, as noted, liquid cooled (as is the V2 1300) and is as rock solid as they come. My only snivels with them are that while extremely powerful (106 hp) they lack a little in bottom end power. Once you get the engine breathing it’s great, kinda like a 1500 Goldwing if you’ve ever riden one of those. The other thing is this annoying whistle that comes from the dual intake tracks around 70 mph. It’ll drive you crazy! Don’t notice it below 70, or much above it, but right at 70 it’s unreal! Installing the Star Accessories air cleaner covers and K&N filters that come with it completely eliminates that though. I’ve never put just a set of K&N’s on one to be able to tell you if the filters by themsleves are enough, if the cover is different enough somehow to make a differance, or if it’s a combination of the two.
The only thing I can tell you about the V-twin 1300 is that they feel good just sitting on them, and that the MSO that comes with the bike has the hp figure rated at 77. Which is pretty stout for an engine of that type and that displacment.
Good luck!
