  1. V Star
    My 07 v star suddenly won’t turn over. I purchased and got this bike up and running earlier this summer. No electrical issues at all. It’s been in my garage for a month or so. I had nice weather and wanted to ride. I tried starting it up with no success. Drained the battery. (Should have put...
  2. V Star
    I recently had issues with my starter button doing nothing. I checked the button and kill switch worked, then I switched out the solenoid. Switching it got it to start a few times, but then it was unable to start within ~10 seconds so I stopped cranking and then the solenoid started whining...
  3. V Star
    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...
  4. V Star

  8. New Member Introductions
    Just bought my first VStar, 2007 650 Custom, with 2,500 miles on it. Previous owner kept it outside, under a cover. There are a few things that need some attention. . . most of which I am not worried about tackling. The one thing that I need some input about is starting the bike. The starter...
