vstar 1100

Hey! Purchased a 05 vstar 1100 for my first bobber project. Stripped the bike and just finished putting it back together. Installed new led tail light flashers ext. Everything was working last week when I finished building the bike. Was going to take it out for the first time today and...

I just picked up a nice 2003 Vstar 1100 with 14k miles on it. Runs great! Didn’t realize they have a starter clutch issue according to what I’ve read. But a post said if you use the correct starting procedure it could prevent starter clutch issues. Hope that’s the case... So my question is has...

Hey I’m looking at getting a Vstar and I don’t know whether to get the 650 or the 1100 starting out. I feel the 650 would be a better starter but I’ve currently been driving a 1200 Goldwing(Dad’s bike) and I’m looking to get my own soon. The biggest thing is that I wanna take it on 2+ hour...

Hey everyone new to the forum. I’m currently in the market for a new bike and I’ve pretty much decided on either an 1100 custom or a Kawasaki Vulcan 900 custom. I’m leaning more towards the 1100. My question is aside from the basic wear and tear what should I look for in an 05+ 1100? Is there...

So I’m looking thru ideas and the what not and I saw this guy 05 V Star 1100 classic on Facebook with some hard saddle bags that fits for 1994-2013 Harley Davidson touring models with some other conversion brackets that fits for a Harley Davidson heritage Softtail 1984-2013. Anyone else that...

Recently I’ve done work to my 2008 VStar 1100. Allow me to take a second to elaborate on all the work done to see if possibly they are contributing factors. We put a full exhaust kit. Cobra drags. We didn’t jet the carburetors, but did sync them with a vacuum tester device. We then installed a...

Installing 16” apes on my 2006 VStar 1100 Classic. I know there is a connect that everyone goes through, forgot his name. Can you guys drop his name or page below so I can reach out to him so I can purchase the proper cables? Thanks 😘

Hey guys, lately I’m noticing, I can not go passed 85 miles an hour without my fuel cutoff or speed limiter kicking in.. and it bothers me. I ride with a MC and in certain situations I need to speed up but I can’t and it takes me a billion years to catch up. I need help solving this issue :(.

Just bought a “new to me” 06 Xvs1100 from a dealership and about a month after riding I’m starting to have carburetor backfires and pops from the exhaust. It has a stock air box and an aftermarket exhaust system. I seem to get really low fuel mileage too. I know that I should some tuning to the...

Looking too see what’s out there for a big bore kit for the vstar 1100. I don’t pound in it if I don’t have to also looking for something with lower compression heads for better reliability.

Hi all, Picked up an ‘03 Vstar 1100 classic about a month ago for a good deal on Craigslist (quarantine score.) Since then, I’ve been searching these forums daily for info and ideas, I really can’t say enough how helpful you’ve all been. I figured why not join myself and share some progress...

So I just rebuilt the flywheel in my 2008 Yamaha V-Star 1100 Classic. Had to replace starter clutch at many V-Star owners have done from my reading. So we get all of that done. Then when we start the bike it had a clanking noise. So I knew timing was off. Took the top end of the rear cylinder...
