The drive package on the Royal Star includes a liquid-cooled V4 engine. It has four valves per cylinder, overhead camshafts, and shim over bucket valves. The five speed overdrive transmission is part of the engine case and both the engine and transmission share oil. The drive shaft and final drive assembly are built into the left side of the double sided swing arm. Swing arm motion is damped by a monoshock mounted horizontally under the center rear of the frame, forward of the rear wheel. The clutch is of the wet plate design and is hydraulically activated by the left hand lever. The brake system uses two disk brakes on the front and one disk on the right rear. All calipers are of four piston design. engine specifications Type Water-cooled, 4 Stroke Displacement 1294 cm3 Bore X Stroke 2.99x2.59 in OR 75.9x65.8 mm Compression Ratio - Horsepower 75/4750 KW/RPM Torque 82.5/3500 lb-ft/RPM OR 112/3500 Nm/RPM Fuel System - transmission specifications Gearbox 5 Speed Clutch - Primary Drive - Final Drive Shaft chassis specifications Frame - Front Suspension - Rear Suspension - Front Brake DualDiscs With 4-piston Calipers Rear Brake Single Disc With 4-piston Calipers
