    Hi, I need to replace my front carb (the left one) fuel shut off solenoid, I was wondering if someone knows which one I should get because there are two but I am unsure which one it might be, much thanks.

    I have gone through my 2001 Yamaha Vstar 1100 and replaced a lot. The starter, starter solenoid, voltage regulator, battery, done a thorough maintenance, and more. It's been running great for a while. I was omw home from work yesterday when I lost all power at 80mph on the freeway. I found the...

    Hi all, thanks for reading. I recently purchased a 2004 V Star 1100 classic. All lights operate except the passing lamps. I've tried the toggle switch with and without the high beam active-- nothing. I took off the headlight to try to get a better look, I'll post the image to this thread...

Bolt holes… I hope I’m being clear enough ahaha but I mean the slip ons fits in the exhaust I just can’t bolt them on the bike…and...

    Hi guys, hope y’all doing well. I just bought a 2009 vstar 1100 classic, it had some leather saddlebags on it but sadly the one on the exhaust side melted because it was touching the exhaust. What do y’all run? I need some inspiration. I’m looking for medium/large size and needs waterproof ones...

    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...

    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...

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...
  15. V Star
    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...
