2014 Yamaha Road Star Silverado S Features and Benefits
ENGINE
• 1,670cc (103 cubic inch), air-cooled, long-stroke, OHV, 8-valves, 48° V-twin powerplant pumps out lots of low-rpm torque. Max torque occurs at 2,500 rpm.
• 4 valves per cylinder provide optimum breathing efficiency while 2 spark plugs per cylinder ensure complete combustion for maximum power output.
• Hydraulic valve lifters driven by twin crankcase-mounted camshafts deliver exceptional torquey performance and reduce maintenance needs.
• Twin crankcase-mounted camshafts activate the valves via hydraulic valve lifters and pushrods.
• Traditional pushrod valve actuation keeps overall engine height down for a lower centre of gravity. Pushrod tubes are chromed, adding to the beauty of this high tech, yet traditional, engine.
• Large-diameter, forged pistons offer great durability and lighter weight for fast engine response.
