This happened to my v-star 1100 it turned out to be the voltage regulator had a short and fried the battery and the loss of voltage from the battery caused the bike to quit.


another thing it could be is a short in the kill switch I've seen that happen on quite a few bikes over the years....good luck hope this helps.

Hi,
The first thing you need to check is the air filter. Sometimes critters can get into the airbox when a bike sits for awhile. Sounds crazy, but it has happened to me. If nothing is blocking the filter, give it a quick clean since you have it out.
Next things to check:
Faulty diaphragm
Improperly adjusted fuel level
Clogged or loose main jet
Faulty fuel pump
You may not be able to check these on your own, but these are the next likely culprits.
Hope this helped

SOURCE: How do you charge the battery on a 2007 Yamaha

i'm not sure if you are saying how to access it. if you can... just unhook the battery.... attach the charger to it ... be sure you have the polarity correct.... after charging it for few hours.... hook the battery back up.... start up the bike... and let it charge the battery the rest of the way

SOURCE: how to lower the idle on a 2002 yamaha 650 v-star classic?

under the left side of the gas tank you will see i black knob/screw at the end of what looks like a hose. the knob faces the rear of bike. that adjusts the idle. its real easy to find and the only adjustment you can make to the carbs.

SOURCE: my 2007 yamaha v star 650 keeps blowing the fuse

There seem to a 'live' wire (in the turn signal, brake light or horn circuit) touching the frame of the bike and thus the fuse blowing.
You will have to trace out the short-circuit.
You can start wth removing the connections to the turn signals thn fit the fuse and see if it still blows ....like wise remove the wire to the brake light and thn check if the fuse blows, same to the horn.
In short ..you can remove all the wires connections to these and thn fit the fuse and refit the wiring connections one by one ,where the fuse will blow after connecting the wire to say brake light thn the problem is at the brake light wiring ....likewise to the others ...onces you identify the circuit tht has the problem thn it will be easy to trace it and rectify it.
Hope this helps!

2004 Yamaha V Star Classic 650. How to hot wire it? I lost key and need to get home.

Question edited for a lot more clarity.
Question moved from Cars and Trucks to model category.

The days of hot wiring cars and motorcycles are long past. They all have alarms and immobilizers. Phone CAA or get a taxi. Or find the key, how can you lose a key? Where is the second key? All vehicles need 2 keys.

My 650 yamaha v-star suddenly quit running while i was riding it as if i shut the key off. why is this

First, check the kill switch and make sure you didn't hit it by accident. It should be on the right handlebar just above the starter button.

Next thing to check for are burned out fuses. You can replace any that are burnt out and see if it will run but if that is it you need to track down why the fuse burnt out.
