2003 Road Star Warrior Information
We know what you're thinking. Is the Warrior a cruiser or a sportbike? The answer is yes.
Yes, that's a pushrod, air-cooled, fuel injected, 102 cubic inch (1670cc) V-twin -- that'll blow your socks clean off.
And yes, that's a lightweight aluminum frame with a 41mm inverted fork, monoblock brake calipers and sticky performance tires on three-spoke alloy wheels supporting this welterweight Road Star.
You'll appreciate the Warrior's superior power-to-weight ratio when you dump the clutch and that 200-section rear tire hooks up.
We're talkin' bout a revolution here. The sound and fury of the gnarliest twin we've ever built is housed in a vessel designed to stop and turn like a sportbike.
Can you guess why the Warrior was Motorcyclist Magazine's Cruiser of the Year for `02? Simply put, "It stops and turns and soaks up the bumps better than anything else in cruiserdom."
Total performance. Does anybody make chaps with knee sliders?

FEATURES & BENEFITSNew for 2003:
- Rear shock gains rebound damping adjustment to complement the already preload adjustable, link-type rear suspension.
- Liquid Silver & Onyx with Indigo flames color options.
Engine:
- The industry standard for V-twin excellence features 97mm cylinder bores
that provide 102 cubic inches (1670cc), pumping out incredible, asphalt-ripping
low-rpm torque and acceleration!
- Air-cooled, long-stroke, OHV, 48º cylinders with pushrod valve actuation
keeps engine height down and ensures more uniform heat dissipation due to
absence of a cam chain case.
- Larger-bore cylinder features cylinder head with larger cooling fins, ceramic
composite bore plating and a one-piece head cover (for greater rigidity around
the rocker arm) to provide more efficient heat dissipation.
- Four-valve cylinder head design uses two spark plugs per cylinder for efficient
combustion and high power at all RPMa.
- Valvetrain includes intake and exhaust rocker arms that reduce inertia during
high-rpm performance and higher-lift cams for increased horsepower.
- Hydraulic valve lifters driven by twin camshafts deliver exceptional performance
and lower maintenance needs.
- New-design, larger-bore pistons feature durable and lightweight forged construction
to accommodate higher-RPM performance with reduced vibration and less reciprocating
mass.
- Rare earth flywheel magnet for faster-revving power delivery and increased
high-RPM durability.
- Twin-bore fuel injection (FI) with throttle position sensor (TPS), aspirated
by free-breathing twin air cleaner system, ensures optimal fuel delivery,
great throttle response and maximum power throughout the rev range.
- State-of-the-art electronic control unit (ECU) ensures precisely metered
fuel delivery and optimal ignition spark control using 3-D digital CD ignition
mapping for each cylinder.
- ECU also controls engine air intake velocity by closing one of the dual
intake ducts during low-RPM operation for more efficient power delivery.
- High-performance 2-into-1 exhaust system features stainless steel headers
and a massive muffler that boosts horsepower while putting out a throaty V-twin
growl.
- Dry sump lubrication system uses a handy spin-on filter.
- Smooth-shifting 5-speed transmission features close-ratio gearing for spine-tingling
roll-on performance at all RPM.
- Smooth, low-maintenance belt drive system gets an all-new, narrower-design
belt that reduces unsprung weight for improved rear suspension performance.
- Electric starting system features solenoid-activated auto-decompressor for
easy starting.
Chassis/Suspension:
- Specially designed, aluminum double-cradle frame increases rigidity by 41%
(over standard Road Star frame) and offers tremendous strength and durability
with minimal flex.
- Aluminum swingarm, born from R1 heritage, offers superb rigidity and a forward-mounted
pivot point that ensures excellent stability at speed and while cornering.
- Highly rigid, R1-derived 41mm Kayaba inverted telescopic fork with 5.3"
of travel for exceptional sport-oriented performance.
- Beefy cast aluminum top and bottom triple clamps help increase fork rigidity.
- Link-type, preload-adjustable single rear shock delivers outstanding rear-wheel
tracking for precise handling and plush ride quality.
- Dual 298mm front disc brakes feature R1-derived, one-piece 4-piston calipers
with fully floating rotors and 282mm rear disc brake with dual-piston caliper
combine for incredible, supersport-spec stopping power.
- Lightweight, cast-aluminum 3-spoke wheels wear low-profile, competition-spec
120/70-ZR18 front and a huge 200/50-ZR17 rear Dunlop Sportmax radials for
awesome, launching-off-the-line traction and cornering grip.
- Extra-long, 65.7" wheelbase and deep, plush saddle create long and
low center of gravity, added rider comfort and well-balanced handling.
- Wide, swept-back, 1"-diameter, rubber-mounted handlebars are easy to
reach and reduce vibration to minimize fatigue.
Additional Features:
- Industry-leading Star Family fit and finish features lustrous paint and
chrome accents (air cleaner, air scoop, mirrors and more) to create a machine
as stunning as it is powerful.
- Totally trick digital headlight-mounted tachometer, odometer and dual tripmeters
with triple clamp-mounted analog speedometer.
- Trick, R6-style LED taillight provides excellent visibility and very sano
look.
- Steel fenders combine timeless styling with sleek, aerodynamic profile.
- Extra-wide, 4.0-gallon fuel tank features low-fuel warning light and R1
type automatic tripmeter.
- Fork lock integrated into main ignition switch for extra convenience.
- Powerful 12V 60/55-watt multi-reflector halogen headlight maximizes nighttime
visibility and comes with beautiful chrome finish.
