    I'm not sure if I killed my starter. I have a 2008 vstar 1100 I just bought, and I was sitting in neutral when I accidentally hit the starter button while it was running. It made a strange noise so I shut it off, and when I tried starting it up again the starter made a brief noise and then did...

After starting up the bike the speedo would go up and back down when turning the key, but would not read the speed just staying at zero. I am assuming it is an issue...

    2007 Yamaha V Star 1100 classic. I have a little chrome "hood" that comes out at the top of my front indicators. I need to replace one side and can't seem to find a replacement with this hood. It is stamped with a Yamaha logo so I am pretty sure it is stock, but I can't find it on any parts...

    I recently got an aftermarket brake light for my bike and when I finished installing it I noticed that when I pulled the brake lever in, it would not light up brighter, but was lit in general. After I took the wiring harness (one that houses the rear turn signals and brake light) and did a...
