Handmade TIG welded stainless exhausts for vstar 650

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...

So I just bought an 09 v star and have had it for 2 weeks. I’m a beginner rider and my bf is teaching me how to ride. It’s been running perfectly fine and my bf says it runs great (he use to have his own v star). Today we pulled the bike out and started it up no problem and he drove it around...

Hey folks, glad to talk again. I was sick and tired of my 06 650 V-Star topping out at 70, there was no way that it was all it had. So after so many seafoam attempts, I decided to take the carbs out and get into full on dismantling. Once I took it out, I also realized the choke didn't work at...

Hi all! I’m a new member here. I got into an accident with my 2008 V Star 650 Custom and am in search of a gas tank for it as the OEM is discontinued. The part number is 5SC-Y2410-30-X8. This is my first bike and I really love riding. I just started 4 months ago. I live in Raleigh, NC and I need...

So I bought a 2010 classic the other week, all mechanically sound and rather immaculate condition for its age but I just have a few questions and concerns. 1. Cold starting - I upped from a virago 250 that needed the choke when it basically just wasn't sunny however the star starts and idles...

Hello forum! New to the forum and new to Vstars, but not new to bikes. Here goes: This is a 1999 Vstar 650 classic. Bike has been sitting for several years. Acquired from a friend who had it running before. I installed a new battery, checked the charge before installing, reads 100%. Checked to...

Hello! I've followed Starbike, among other forums, for awhile. Located in rhode island, surprise surprise. Purchased a very stock 2008 vstar 650 back in 2018. This is the bike now... Might be for sale. If interested, reach out

Just bought an 02 VStar 650 the other day that had been sitting for years. The first thing I knew I had to do was drain all the fluids and replace them. I drained the gas a couple days ago and when I went to fill it up again the key doesn’t turn inside the slot. It’ll maybe turn about half of...

Hi All. I caught a great deal on a 2004 VStar 650 that's had several mods done including a pod kit intake (with stock airbox delete), rejeting (#130 jets), and custom drag/straight pipes (cut extremely short so the exhaust outlet is essentially where the two pipes meet). Love the bike so far...

Hi everyone, wondering if anyone can help me out here. Sometimes my 2007 vstar 650 starts right up and sometimes it just turns over without firing. When it doesn’t start I just give it a bump start and it starts right up. Any explanations?

I was wondering if anyone could help narrow down some possible issues my bike is having. I have a 2000 Yamaha Vstar 650 it has just over 40k. I was driving along today and my motorcycle started to decelerate so I tried a quick throttle twist and it sounded closer to a single cylinder engine and...

Hey y'all, first post here. I just picked a semi-beatup 2000 Vstar 650 for cheap. It came with the hypercharger, vance & hines and pingel fuel petcock installed. AIS is blocked off but still on bike. Just opened up the carb and looks like they were running stock jets. Y'all got a recommended...

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 Guys. Please help me i dont know what to do. My Vstar 650 exhaust Sounds like a can. I dont know what happend ever since i changed my cylinder head gaskets.

Howdy everyone! Today is the day I finally start the bobber build. With only about 1 more month or so until riding season is really in full effect here in Washington I figured I'd take this time and get the 650 a little love :) So far here's what I plan on doing to her: -GAK air intake -Rejet...

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 I'm just looking to upgrade my lights to brighter LEDs and was wondering which bulbs the headlight, tail light and indicators it takes? Also any recommendations for brands would be great.

Hi. I'm a novice when it comes to bikes. I just got my 650 about 2 months ago. It started up fine every other day for the past 2 weeks. Now, when I start it, it only runs when I have the throttle down a bit. As soon as I let go, it dies out. The gas lever is on and the battery is charged...
