I just wanted to put a general reminder to all of those guys getting redfaced and beating their chest at the motorcycle gods. Take a break. Take a day. Take 3. Dont take a week. Forget everything and rediagnose. Two things happened to me that this helps with. One, sometimes your petcocks...

Hey guys ! last season I bought a v star 1100 . I noticed when selecting the right side flasher , the front right bulb does not blink.. the previous owner did a full front and rear led light conversion .All the lights work fine even the Right rear light bulb flasher works fine ( no hyper...

So, I've found that at speed (maybe after 40+mph), if I take my hands off of the handlebars for more than a second, a shimmy begins in the front tire. If I don't re-grip the bars, it only gets worse. Likely into a total death wobble. I've had several folks go over it, mechanics re-balanced the...

i finally found it, if anyone hasn't seen it before http://www.vstar1100.com/03_star_accessory_application_guide.pdf

Hey everyone, I'm new to this forum and I'm hoping for some help. Im stumped big time on this one. I have a 01 Vstar650 that sat for a few years. It now fires right up without any issues. Ill include a list of what I did below. But my problem is that when its idling and not under a load, it'll...

Hello again, still here working on my 2000 v star from a repo auction. I just noticed the head bolt nuts on the right side of the front cylinder are loose (as in can unloosen by hand). The bike came with a box of parts and I found a hypercharger with the mounting bracket from the head bolts...

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...

I have a 2002 Yamaha Vstar 650, it belonged to my dad and was sitting for I believe over 10 years. I’m new in the motorcycle community and wanna get it running in his memory. so far what I’ve done is: new “computer” CDI (replaced with a DYNA 3000) New battery New fuses (good but replaced) New...

Hi Bike: V star 650 classic 2000 I disassembled the bar control switches to paint the houses. Now when everything is connected nothing happens when I try to start it. The kickstand is up and the clutch is in. No buzzing from the starter motor. There is no blu/white cable on the bike that it is...

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...

So I’m pretty new to the bike scene, street wise anyway. Grew up on dirt bikes. Recently I got a 2017 vstar 1300, it was dropped and needs a bit of work. I want to build a bobber, but have not been able to find any similar builds or info with such a new bike. And any of the “kits” for bobber...
