2008 Road Star Warrior Specifications

Key Features:
  • The five-time AMA ProStar Hot Rod Cruiser class drag racing champion returns.
  • Twin-bore fuel injection provides spot-on fuel delivery under all conditions.
  • Rigid, light and strong aluminum frame, inverted 41mm fork and an adjustable link-type rear end provide near-sportbike handling.
  • 200/50-ZR17 rear radial tire looks right and puts all that torque efficiently to pavement.

    Engine:

    The industry standard for V-twin excellence features 102-cubic-inch (1670cc) displacement, pumping out asphalt-ripping torque and acceleration.

  • Air-cooled, long-stroke, OHV, 48 degree cylinders with pushrod valve actuation keeps engine height down; large cooling fins, ceramic composite bore plating and a one-piece head cover provide more efficient heat dissipation.
  • Four-valve cylinder head design uses two spark plugs per cylinder for efficient combustion and more power at all rpm.
  • Hydraulic valve lifters driven by twin camshafts deliver exceptional performance and lower maintenance needs.
  • Forged pistons accommodate higher rpm performance thanks to reduced reciprocating mass.
  • Rare earth flywheel magnet for faster-revving power delivery and increased high rpm durability.
  • Twin-bore fuel injection 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 ignition mapping for each cylinder.
  • High-performance two-into-one 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 five-speed transmission features close-ratio gearing for excellent roll-on performance at all rpm.
  • Smooth, low-maintenance belt drive system has a narrow-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, class-exclusive, aluminum double-cradle frame and swingarm increases rigidity by 41 percent (over standard Road Star frame), for tremendous strength and durability.
  • Super-rigid 41mm Kayaba inverted telescopic fork in beefy, cast-aluminum triple clamps gives 5.3 inches of travel for exceptional sport-oriented performance.
  • Link-type, preload and rebound adjustable single rear shock delivers outstanding rear-wheel tracking for precise handling and plush ride quality.
  • Dual 298mm front disc brakes and radial-mount four-piston calipers, and a 282mm rear disc combine for incredible, supersport-spec stopping power.
  • Pulley design gets all that power to the back wheel with even more style.
  • Lightweight, Supersport-inspired five-spoke wheels wear low-profile, competition-spec 120/70-ZR18 front and a massive 200/50-ZR17 rear radial for awesome traction and cornering grip.
  • Extra-long, 65.6-inch wheelbase and deep, plush saddle create added rider comfort and well-balanced handling.

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.
  • Two-piece saddle is wide and flat for excellent comfort.
  • Digital headlight-mounted tachometer, odometer and dual tripmeters with triple clamp-mounted analog speedometer.
  • LED taillight provides excellent visibility and very sano look.
  • Braided stainless clutch and throttle cables.
  • Extra-wide, 4.0-gallon fuel tank features low-fuel warning light and R1-type automatic fuel 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.

Did you say two spark plugs per cylinder?  I only see two.  Where did the other two go?
