    take some seafoam or techron along and add some each time you fillup and it will help clean out the cobwebs as you journy along the way. if you keep posting on the forum as you go, i bet you may have some company along the way back home. it's a good chance to meet a few folk along the way for coffee or ride along thru their area. if you come thru the birmingham, al area give me a call and i'll try to meet you, don. 205- 665-5778 hm or 205-329-8855 cell best to call to get me.

    the '96-'01 standard royal stars are de-tuned way more than the venture and 05- present rstd, they have a tendentic to carbon-up which can cause them to run ruff. http://forums.delphiforums.com/royalstar/start is a forum started by several of us off the isra site that has these models. you need to go over there and look on the start page and read the tech notes on doing the techron flush out to get rid of the carbon that might be cause your problem. these bike will run very well without out any mods done to them, but there is several mods you can do to help pep it up and run great. i'm taz, a1ammoniaman over there. after reading up feel free to ask Qs if you want. there is several of us "royal riders on this forum too, there's a lot of good folks and info on all the web sites.hope this helps don.

    the ride up to mt. mitchell is a good ride to do along the blue ridge. we can also do another ride to the wheels thru time museum so those that didn't make it can go. there's a lot of roads to be ridden all over that area. looking foward to it.

    the one for venture and tour deluxe is the same for all years 99-07 the only differant one is for the 96-01 royal stars standard bike. they don't have the cruise control, i think thats the differance in the 2 dyna.

    the mufflers are a little shorter on the 96-01 std royals. the ventures are about 2" longer. i bought a set of sampson fishtail for mine and the mounting bracket was strait up and not bent over at a 90% angle like the venture's. i tried to put my sampson's on my 01 venture and they hit the saddlebags, they needed to be about 2" LONGER TO BE RIGHT. but as far as the inside diameter of the muffler, it's the same size. the header pipes on the 96-01 is about 7/8" id vs the venture is 1 1/8" id. bubs pipes that i have on mine is 1 3/4" id giving it a deeper rumble like h-pipes on a mustang if you've heard that. you can watch e-bay and find some slip-on there sometimes.
  12. tazmocycle
    bagman, you will have to cut off the muffler to put slipon on you bike. it's been a while since i did mine but will try to find out check here and see if anyone on this site can answer your Qs http://forums.delphiforums.com/royalstar/start most of us riyal rider have the 96-01 standard royals.

    the reason you are getting popback on these bike are because they are retarded timing. you have 2 set of coils, firing 4 cyls, 1&3- 2&4 fires together. one is at compression stroke and firing and the other is at exhaust stroke and firing. thus there is unburnt gas in the exhaust pipes while decellating which lites up causing the poping. you can install the dyna tech 3000 on them and it will take almost all of it out. back in the 70s, holly came out with a ecomomaster carb that shut off all gas to cylinders when you let off the throttle to save gas. i had one on my '75 monte carlo and the fuel ecom went from 15mpg to 19mpg. on the fuel injected bike i think it cut off the gas on decel. only if yamaha would inject the royalls!!!!

    they gave you the wrong bar, that probly fit the earlier models of td(96-01) or as don said a venture, the newer tds(05-now) has the welded-on nut to bolt the headlite to. parts guys are always getting it wrong. i bought a set of carb cover for my 01 rstd and they are for the newer one, ther's a differance. best thing i found, is to get the yamaha accessories catalog and look up what you want and point it out to them and double check it when they order and give it to you.

    i was told by a bike mechanic that yamalube oil is half syn and half petrobase oil. i took my wife's bike to him for 500 mle service and he asked if i wanted reg or syn in it and i told him i was told not to put syn till at least 4,000 miles on the bike. so he put yamalube back in it, which i'm doing the oil change the next time and putting mobil syn like all my other bike, 50,000 miles on my 01 and no trouble yet.

    some where i read that all foriegn made bikes are off by 8-10% in their readings. harley keeps their down to 2-3% of range. my bike has always been off, and it reads higher. when i've gone thru the roadside speed decters it always shows a lower speed than my spedo.around 60 on speedo the decter shows 55, so i always run about 5 mph faster on speedo and never got a ticket yet.
