I was riding the other day when all of a sudden i heard a poppng sound comming from up front. i stopped at the light, when i began to take off it stalled. i figured i was low on fuel so i filled it up. still after that it was running rough all the way home. what i notice when i start it up is that the long ehaust pipe that comes from the front feels cool to the touch while the shorter one gets hot. the bike is a 2006 yamaha vstar 1100 with 700 miles, of course out of warranty. i tried riding it and there is no power it just lags and runs rough. thanks in advance.
steve, s
I'm having a similar issue on an 01 vstar 1100. Will idle just fine. But once I start going. I have to give more throttle. But when I start actually moving. It wants to blurp and jerk won't go over 30
Had a similar problem turned out the fuel line was gummy from sitting for 2 months in a hot Florida garage
I had a similar proplem turned out to be a loose coil wire .so yours could be the same or possably a bad coil
Sounds like you are not getting fire to that cylinder,check plug wire,plug,and the cap on the end of the plug wire.
If all is well with those,just let me know and we can go to the next possible cause.

thanks, i guess i need to take the gas tank off to check right?
Hi i changed the plug , now it runs again. The only thing i notice is it still has a slight backfire or popping noise. Should i also change the other plug?
