I have a Yamaha Vstar Classic-650. When i try to start it all i get is a buzzing sound. The bike has been sitting for a few months, but I have always been able to start it up from except for now... can...

The buzzing is caused by a flat battery. or dirty corroded battery terminals.
If the battery is a few years old and has been sitting for a while it often pays to get a new one.
Running a less than perfect battery and or jump starting may cause other problems as it may overstress the charging system.

Make sure the carb is clean as the fuel gets old sitting in the bowl, and i have heard of a few of these,doing the same that need the valves adjusted, just dont ask how this can happen while it it sitting in the shed

Single click when I press start button.

You need an auto-electrician to do it for you, they take a few seconds and rarely charge. Also, get your self a manual, I can't help but if you Google it, you should get plenty for sale as well as an odd freebie.

Yamaha TW 200 starts but won't run.

If the bike has sat for a long period of time without being run - the gas that is sitting in the carb(s) will shellac.. Then the carb(s) would need to be cleaned and "rebuilt"..

2005 v-star 1100 wont start . starter spins but

i worked for a large yamaha dealer. yes, those bikes are very well known for the starter clutch going out. it's about $85 to $125 in parts and about 1 to 1.5 hours labor. also, an oil filter relocator kit will save you money on servicing or changing your own oil.
