rjmalizia Posted November 17, 2006 Share #1 Posted November 17, 2006 Riddle me this Batman... As far as I have been able to determine, my 1997 RSTD can muster approximately 75 horses, yet the 1200cc Vmax of that era had 100+/- ponies. What gives? Where are they hiding, and are there ways (inexpensive ways) of corralling em up. As always, thanks for your opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeS Posted November 17, 2006 Share #6 Posted November 17, 2006 Just buy a used V Max, cheaper then converting. Lot less work and headaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegscraper Posted November 17, 2006 Share #7 Posted November 17, 2006 Camshaft/valve spring and carb swaps aren't all that difficult depending on how handy you are, and make a huge difference in the early Royal Stars. I'm making 90 rear wheel/106 crank hp in my '96. That 75 hp figure you mention must be crank. After cams and carbs the mods get a little more difficult.
