  1. V Star
    I got me and my wife got our bikes back in September, the previous owner of my wife's bike claimed to have cleaned and rebuilt the carbs and for mine they were not sure the last time they were touched. After looking my wife's bike over, the carbs look fairly dirty/crusty on the outside and don't...

  3. General Bike Talk
    Hey. Took the bike out yesterday, 41 degrees. She ran like a bat outta hell. I know the cold air is denser. Does this mean I'm running too rich? Should I rejet in hot season? Still new to the carb tuning game... Happy holidays to everyone!
  4. V Star
    I just cleaned my carbs (first time) and reinstalled them on my 2004 V-Star 1100. I'm using an auxiliary gas tank for testing and have not yet reinstalled the Yamaha tank (or its electrical connection to the instrument cluster). I did reconnect the wires from the carburetor back to the bike (TPS...
  5. V Star
    I recently had my 2004 V-Star 1100 carburetors cleaned by an indy shop. After cleaning, the throttle response is much better but the engine still seems a little rough. I noticed the PMS screws had not been adjusted on the bike after carb cleaning as the caps covering the PMS screw are still in...

    I have a 2007 V-star 650 classic with Vance and Hines shorts on it. I am rebuilding the carburetor, but due to a oversight the Jets that I pulled out when cleaning it are gone. Curious what size jets would you guys recommend for my bike. I do not have my baffles installed. I am also brand new...
  7. V Star
    My fiancée has a 2005 VStar that has recently had an issue of dying on a cold start if I give it any choke when trying to warm it up. Is this an enrichener circut issue where I would just need to clean that or is this a full carb rebuild issue. I have resorted to just holding the throttle in...
  8. V Star
    Hello all, I just picked up a cheap 2000 vstar 650 from a repo auction to tinker with. Relatively new to all this so forgive my ignorance. When I took the carb off I noticed that one intake boot below the carb was absolutely overflowing with gas, pretty much up to the brim. Just on the rear...

  10. V Star
    Ok so, got an old ‘00 that needs a LOT of love for a winter project. Noticed the carbs would stick open at wherever position you left them at while mated via the bracket. Figured they were just nasty, I planned on rebuilding anyway. Once separated, I noticed they opened and snapped closed as...
  11. V Star
    Hey gang, 07 V Star 1100 classic. Riding today and apparently a chrome cover fell off the left side of the bike. It was below the gas tank an appears to cover over the carb. There are two female thread posts there where something obviously vibrated loose. Trying to figure out what part it...
  12. Carb and Fuel
    I have a 2001 1100 custom. I am working on my carbs and need to replace the throttle plate thats inside the carbs. Its the round brass disc that flaps open and closes. I attached a picture. Ebay no luck, parts websites dont even show it on the lists. Anyone have any links to a seller or does...
  13. Engine Work
    I bought this V Star 650. It only went 55 mph when I bought it. Now I have k&n ans cobra exhaust. I cleaned the Jets and now it runs (ran) beautifully. I bought an all balls repair kit. Now first this brass fitting broke off I saw there was a pin in there so the screw had to be hollow. I drilled...
