    Is it good to apply a light coating of lubricant to small o-rings that will be used in a carburetor? If so, what brand or type of lubricant should I use? Thanks.

    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...

    Hello everyone, just picked up a 2000 650 classic. Didn't run when I got it and had been sitting. Cleaned and rebuilt the carbs, flushed the tank and put in fresh fuel. Has spark at the plugs.

    So the enrichener screws on 01 v star 650 stock factory are 2 1/2 turns out. I was getting a lot of soot on spark plugs and low mpg. So I turned both in 1/4 turn so bike runs a little leaner. Now I have no soot and plugs look normal. Haven't checked mpg yet. Is this a problem?
  8. Carb and Fuel
    While under a load my bike seems to idle a little bit rough. Also while riding there are moments where I get like a surge of power like in suddenly has all the power in the world. And then it goes away. Not quite sure what to check to correct this issue is it vacuum, spark or fuel? Maybe I need...
  9. Wanted Items
    Looking to purchase a 2004 Carb from a Yamaha vstar 650 to put onto my 2001 Yamaha vstar 650. Does anyone know if they are compatible? I have done some research and notice a part number difference in the carb itself however the rebuilt kits say they are the same? Thank you
