Question and Hello! Carb Match up

[itguy1984]

Will 2001 Venture carbs fit onto a 2000 Royal Star?

 

[itguy1984]

There are a lot of threads on topics like this one but i cannot find an answer. The linkage in my 2000 is worn and is no longer able to sync. I am hoping the set of 2001 Venture Carbs will match up with the intake boots and airbox. Any info would be great.

It would help to tell us exactly what model of Royal Star you have instead of just waiting for us to guess.

 

I do not have any significant personal experience with Royal Stars other than the RSV and new model RSTD. I have never worked on the carb linkage for the 90's Royal Stars, but when I have synced them for others I noted the linkage was very different than the RSV. But nonetheless, I have a very hard time imagining how any linkage could be "worn and no longer able to sync." Those parts just are not generally subject to wear. But maybe that is why they changed it for the RSV in 1999? I do not know.

 

As to your question, if no one has an answer, I'd suggest you start by looking at the part numbers in the parts breakdown for the intake manifolds between your bike and the RSV. All model years of the RSV are the same.

Thank you for your Response. It is a Royal Star Tour Deluxe. Plain Jane Royal Star. I will admit that i am not a Royal star expert (Obviously) but i am not sure why the model of the RoyalStar (Not Venture) would change the Engine/Carb configuration. Typically with Motorcycles like this it is nothing more then an Equipment package change.

 

the part numbers do not match up but that could be for many reasons (The VMAX carbs will swap over in some cases even though the part numbers do not match up) hence why i am asking a forum full of Royal Star nuts in hopes that someone on here knows the answer to my question. I just want to know if the Airbox/Intake boots will line up. I can work out any jetting issues at the shop. I am just trying to find out of there were changes between the 2001 Venture and the 2000 Royal star that would not allow the Venture's carbs so swap over.

 

I can only find Venture Carbs on Ebay and i do not want to spend $300 for a set of carbs that will not match up.

 

thanks again for your help.

Drop Lynn (pegscrapper) a PM. He rides a '96 that has been highly modified. He probably knows the answer to your question.

Take a look at http://www.venturerider.org/modules/history/index.php

 

The 2000 Blvd is basically the same bike as the late 90s Royal Stars. That is they have the 28mm carbs, thus without the proper adapter plates the 32mm RSV carbs are not a "bolt on" fit.

Thank you for your time with this thread and working with me. The bike Looks just like the tour deluxe so i may of been wrong on the model. I will put some calipers on the carbs and measure them.

 

It is a spitting image match of the last bike listed in your link.

What's pictured here looks like a "later" Tour Deluxe.

I believe the later TDs has the same carbs as the RSVs.

Just an FYI, The Royal Stars with the smaller 28mm carbs have only one air filter, hidden in the air box under the fuel tank. The RSVs and later TDs have twin air filters mounted behind the lower fairings. The Royal Stars have no lower fairings.

Very awesome information.

 

One more question. Is there a "Kit" to fit these larger carbs on the bike? It was mentioned above about some different intake boots.

The 05 through current RSTD and 99 through current RSV are the same engine and carb configuration

Not really a "kit". Pegscraper made adapters to make them fit. Check out this link. http://www.venturerider.org/carbswap/

 

FYI, the bike you pictured would not be a 2000 model. You probably have this... http://ts1.mm.bing.net/images/thumbnail.aspx?q=1035626880332&id=110a259ec96c65d62d54a19f886356b3&url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.totalmotorcycle.com%2fphotos%2f2000models%2f2000-Yamaha-RoyalStar-TourClassica.jpg

Very correct. That is (other then being black) the exact bike.

 

Thanks a bunch for all the information. You guys were a big help.

 

All this information has been really great.

 

On the VMAX Cam Swap. I read the write up in the link and i might do that upgrade as well. Is there a year of VMAX i need to be looking for so i get the correct Cams?

 

Thanks again for all this help.

We're out of town right now and have very limited access to the net, thus the delayed response to your PM. It looks like you have already been pointed to the carb swap article. That's how to do it. Depending on your mechanical skills, it's either very easy or very difficult.

 

I forget the years on cams anymore. There are only two sets, pre-emissions and post-emissions. I'd take the earlier ones, but even the later ones would be a lot better than what you have now. The earlier ones have a model number that starts with "1FK", and those three characters are cast into the camshafts too, so you can tell what you're looking at even if they're out of the bike.
