#291581 Idrum4jl (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 6 Question about 2000 Roadstar 1600 1 Year, 11 Months ago   Hello fellow riders, I have a 2000 Roadstar with just under 16000 miles. Just bought a couple of weeks ago and love it. I was wondering if I should be using any kind of fuel treatment in gas tank for better performance/gas mileage? Just had tune up, oil change,etc done. Running good with a few spits here and there. Any help would be great. Be safe out there.

You might give it a shot of Sea Foam once in a while. Gllad to have you with us.

If stock, you don't need to add any fuel treatments. Doc   Logged     My Bike Website   The administrator has disabled public write access. #291853 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 12515 Re:Question about 2000 Roadstar 1600 1 Year, 11 Months ago   Idrum4jl ride it like you stole it, hit the rev limiter every once in a while for the ride and don't lug it. Keep the R's up these bike don't like slow speeds or low R's. Don't blip the throttle they don't like that as well. The harder ya ride it the better they like it.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #291916 chieninhouston (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 13 Re:Question about 2000 Roadstar 1600 1 Year, 11 Months ago   Hi, Curt, I have a 2002. Would like to know how to reach the limiter, and what's the feeling when it does? Don't have the tachometer on board. Could you share some experiences? Thanks.   Logged     Last Edit: 2010/06/26 01:19 By chieninhouston.   James Chien 2002 Road Star (7650 miles) 2006 Kymco People 250 (6100 Km)   The administrator has disabled public write access. #291926 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am..

Thanks. chieninhouston, it would be better if you open a new thread so things don't get confused, but since your new here, we'll cut ya some slack... hitting the rev limiter is much like running out of gas, it will start missing and cutting out until you slow down a bit then it will even out...the limit on a stock 1600 is around 4300 rpm give or take...   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
