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 & BENEFITS

New 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.
