    Previous owner dropped dowel pin in flywheel and stator and destroyed stator, replaced the stator and still runs weird, I’ll send a video of the flywheel. I think I’m gonna replace it bc it’s chewed up but idk if the timing chain has to come apart for that or if it’s just bolts and a puller. Lmk...

    I am new to this forum so forgive me if this question has been answered before, which it probably has. I absolutely hate the heel-toe shift lever on my awesome VStar 650. Where can I buy a toe only lever? Or is it better to just cut the heel off of the existing lever?

    Most of the time when I riding the 2001 V-Star 650 Classic, I'm commuting to/from work and I have both earplugs in and a full face helmet. Needless to say, I don't hear all that much. But Saturday, I made an early morning donut run with no earplugs (just helmet). There were two or three times...

    Hey y’all, I’m 23, and I’ve never rode a bike, but my 2007 v star will get to me in about a month. I’m excited because its only a 650 so it should be pretty easy to handle since I’m a beginner. It was actually my moms so i got to ride with her a lot growing up but have never rode myself. She...

    Hey guys, greetings from Australia. I’ve been all over the net recently attempting to find jet sizes for the setup I’m going to run. I have recently bought a 2018 650 and am going to install some V&H Short shots. At this stage I’m not really looking at swapping the intake. I’ve done a lot of...

    Hello again, still here working on my 2000 v star from a repo auction. I just noticed the head bolt nuts on the right side of the front cylinder are loose (as in can unloosen by hand). The bike came with a box of parts and I found a hypercharger with the mounting bracket from the head bolts...

    I have a 2002 Yamaha Vstar 650, it belonged to my dad and was sitting for I believe over 10 years. I’m new in the motorcycle community and wanna get it running in his memory. so far what I’ve done is: new “computer” CDI (replaced with a DYNA 3000) New battery New fuses (good but replaced) New...

    So, I'm considering swapping my stock exhaust for a Vance and Hines Shortshots Staggered Exhaust (while pairing with a re-jet and a GAK). One of the things I've read is that since the V&H is free-flowing, there is a loss of low-end torque. How does this work, especially considering that my '07...

    Hi Bike: V star 650 classic 2000 I disassembled the bar control switches to paint the houses. Now when everything is connected nothing happens when I try to start it. The kickstand is up and the clutch is in. No buzzing from the starter motor. There is no blu/white cable on the bike that it is...

    Howdy everyone! Today is the day I finally start the bobber build. With only about 1 more month or so until riding season is really in full effect here in Washington I figured I'd take this time and get the 650 a little love :) So far here's what I plan on doing to her: -GAK air intake -Rejet...

    Hello all, first post here! I just bought a 2002 V-Star 650 yesterday and it has a Kuryakyn Hypercharger and drag pipes (I believe to be 2.5 inch roadburners, previous owner wasn't sure). It has no throttle response just above idle, if I roll onto the throttle the bike sputters and if I get...

    On a 650. I seen j slam will bottom out was thinking about one of the kits. The bobber cycle kit makes it a hard tail I think which would work but would be rough. What about the pacific coast anybody use it with passenger? Or one of the other kits that are the same thing

    I received this bike as a non running project. Anytime I turn the key on it starts making this strange percussion noise. I think its the fuel pump activating but ive never heard one sound like this. I have posted a video on my YouTube if anyone would listen to it and tell me what their opinion...

    Hey guys! recently picked up a sweet looking 650 custom from a friend. He had it sitting for a bit since 2014... it turns over and somewhat starts but dies right after starting for about 1-2 seconds. It can hold a better start if I spray some carb cleaner in the air vent. I have already taken...
