lingram Posted January 18, 2011 #1 Posted January 18, 2011 I recently purchased a 98 Royal Star, the dealer told me it is a tour deluxe but I am not so sure, it does not have all the extra that I seen in the pictures I've looked at. Does any one know where I might be able to look up the vin# to find out for sure which model of Royal Star it is? I always come up to this question when trying to purchase accessorie for the bike. Thanks:grandma:
MiCarl Posted January 18, 2011 #2 Posted January 18, 2011 Motoverse has a VIN decoder http://www.motoverse.com/tools/vin/yamaha.asp It will probably return a model number which might be cryptic to you. If so, post the model number and someone will help you translate it.
flb_78 Posted January 18, 2011 #3 Posted January 18, 2011 The 98 Tour Deluxes are different from the newer model Tour Deluxes.
dug050 Posted January 18, 2011 #4 Posted January 18, 2011 I believe the 98 tour deluxe is the same as the 96, they came with a windshield (no fairing) and hard bags that have a leather covering. Doug
M61A1MECH Posted January 18, 2011 #6 Posted January 18, 2011 DUG050 That is not a 98 Royal Star Tour Deluxe, the 98 TD was a 2 piper not a 4 piper, the bags were hard ABS bags like the current Venture except that they were not hinged on the side they lifted off, many were lost while riding because they were not latched properly.
wes0778 Posted January 19, 2011 #7 Posted January 19, 2011 This is a '98 Tour Classic II. It has the dual, not quad mufflers and the leather slant bags. I think I'm right in that the Tour Deluxe that year was virtually the same except it had leather hard bags. Does it have an emblem on both upper sides of the front fender. The emblems on my Tour Classic says just that, "Tour Classic" yours should have "Tour Deluxe" emblems.
M61A1MECH Posted January 19, 2011 #8 Posted January 19, 2011 Here are a couple of not so good PDF s that show all of the models available for the cruiser line in 1998, this should help ypu identify your bike, if it is all still stock.
royalstarjac Posted January 19, 2011 #9 Posted January 19, 2011 Dug050, That is a 96 or 97 Royal Star Tour Classic. At least that's what it is in the US. Canada may be different. The Tour Deluxe's were 2 pipers. Here is a pic of my 97 RSTC.
royalstarjac Posted January 19, 2011 #10 Posted January 19, 2011 This might help with identification. The model number should be on the title and on the id plate on the neck of the bike. http://www.flandersco.com/FindModelNumber.html
