  1. Cruisers
    Hello fellow riders. Got a 2005 Yamaha VStar 1100 Classic, 38K, that just started whining. Sound is coming from the front of the bike and goes away when the clutch is pulled in. Last 2 rides it's become louder but was not there the last month since I took over ownership. Any ideas please?

    My bike will crank but not start. I thought maybe fuel filter so I replaced that, and then the spark plugs. Still won't start. The motor will crank, but not turn over - and I can smell gas as it cranks. Can anyone help?

    So I think my clutch has gone on my xvs400, when it's in gear it still rolls freely has anyone else had this problem?

    I have an interesting problem. My vstar was sitting for a while. I got a brand new battery and put in new fuses. Now the bike will crank but won't start and the gauges and lights won't turn off unless I disconnect the battery or the main fuse. If anyone could help I'd appreciate it

    I am hoping that I can get some advice. [Moderators note: I have effectively deleted this post because you are already getting advice in the OTHER identical thread that you started earlier.]

    Hoping that someone can help me. I have an 01 Vstar classic. the headlight was dimming and the high beam burnt out. When I went to change the bulb I found that the wiring harness (plug) was cracked and thus causing the bulb to dim. I replaced the plug put a bulb in and it worked no problem...

    I am looking to purchase a used XVS1100 or XVS1300, prefer to buy a 2009 or newer but would consider any year back to a 2005. I have two friends with 2005 models and I have ridden one of them for a short trip with my wife on the back. It seemed to steer like a tank but it may just require...

    I was asked today how my 2007 Suzuki M50 compares to a VStar 650, and having never ridden VStar I guess that's why I am asking for someone's opinion that has experience with a Yamaha. :-?
