Scotts royal star classic

Yes, I wanted to drive it like a twin, as it sounds cool. Now that Im use to it, I love it.... need to drive it with more rev,and all is good...thank you..... QUOTE=M61A1MECH;1063382]Glad I could help, now the opposite is also true, if you are in 4th or 5th and dive in hot into a corner and expecting engine braking to come into play, it will not be there, again start looking for 3rd and then power out of the turn. Thee V-4 is a very different animals, takes a while to get used to them. Ride safe and often

I came down to the conclusion that you are exactly right. I rode in third and it picks up impressively. I was Twisting the throttle in 4th and 5 th expecting a lot, at40 mph and up slightly. I have the 4 individual mufflers and I think that gives it a different pulse type feel in a high gear at lower speed that I should be when twisting the throttle aggressively. Now that I understand more about the royal star. I’m convinced it’s running correct. Thanks you for giving me the idea of using higher gears correctly and not bogging it with heavy throttle at to low of speeds, unless I gain speed gradually. Scott

Hi, my 1997 Royal Star Classic idles and runs great for the most part, however, when I am accelerating to a higher speed above 40 or so it feels like it is not hitting on all 4 cylinders, it is sluggish. It has the same feeling accelerating at any high speed. You would never know driving at any steady speed just when I accelerate. I would appreciate any input as to what the issue may be.
