Just amazed that 5 th is so tall. Any upgrade in the road it's 4th or 3rd and 5th only level or downhill above 70. I know I can put the v max rear end in to change that. But the lack of hp and the tall gearing is making me think twice about keeping my 96 Royal Star. It's showroom and runs great but!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone want to trade final drives?
rlyons posted a topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I bought a Vmax-Venture conversion final drive from John at Sportmax a week ago, it worked great and did make it like a rocket ship on wheels strting out from a stop, but I don't like the lower gearing. I don't pull a trailer or ride two up so the extra power is not needed and I decided I liked the higher gearing after all. I did check the fuel mileage with it installed and it was the same as the old final drive so fuel mileage is not an issue. If anyone would like it, I will trade it straight up for a good low mileage unit that has no problems and looks good. All you will need to do is pay shipping for the swap. I figure that is much less than the 300 plus shipping from John for another one. Just ship me your old one with a prepaid shipping label and I will ship mine back, even up. -
does anyone know about the difference in gearing between a kph vs mph speedometer. i have a kilometers per hour unit that the odometer went belly up and Bongobob was kind enough to give me a unit that is miles per hour. the gears inside both units look identicle, is the front wheel gearing different or is the gearing in the speedos different?

I read that the earlier ones had basically both 4th and 5th as overdrive and the newer RSV changed the gearing to a more conventional 4th gear. What year did they do that?
