How to change one way clutch on 1100 v star - 2006 Yamaha V Star 1100 Classic

SOURCE: how to remove the starter clutch on a 2003 yamaha

It is on the back side of the flywheel for the magneto/generator. You will need to remove the left engine side cover then pull the flywheel. It does take a special puller to get the fly wheel off. Once you get the flywheel off, there are 8 allen bolts that hold it to the back side of the flywheel.

SOURCE: 1999 V Star 1100, clutch slips a bit at high gear,

Very likely clutch plates I'm afraid.

Caution here: What oil are you using? If you have used standard Auto oil in the engine, it will have contaminated the plates and this is why they will be slipping. Bike engine oil is a different formulation because the clutch is submerged in oil. What you are describing is a classic result of topping your bike up with standard car engine oil.

If this is the case, you will certainly need to replace the clutch plates.

Check the clutch cable free play and adjust (at the bar end) as necessary. Make minor adjustments and take it for a short ride to test.
