More than likely the gas went bad in the carburetors and the jets are now plugged in the carburetors and you will have to have them cleaned. Best to put away bike and shut fuel off and run bike till it quits, this will help to prevent the problem next time

I've got a 2001 Yamaha V Star 1100 Classic that I thought I prepared well for the winter. I added fuel stabilizer to a full tank last last fall. I got one small but issue free ride yesterday, but today...
Some times the fuel stabilizer can make it back fire so constantly top up your tank until you run all the old mix gas thru just keep diluting the fuel with fresh stuff, also be sure to use only high test fuel and mabe check your plugs out as well for fouling those are the cheapest ideas you can try for now!

First check you fuel filter . Bad, old gas can cause the filter to clog. If it is clear, then just drain the gas from the line you already pulled the filter from. Refill the tank with freah gas adding two ounces of sea foam per gallon of gas. If it fires up then it was bad gas and the sea foam will clean out any other **** the bad fuel left behind.

My cycle would start but die when I give it gas so I emptied the gas out of it since it has been sitting for a long time. Put new gas in the tank and now it will not even start. Before it would start and...
Did you also drain the carbs when you drained the tank? You may have a vacuum controlled fuel valve which won't let the new gas into the carbs. If you can crank the motor long enough it should open and fill the carbs. Otherwise you can **** on the vacuum hose for half a minute and open the valve to fill the carbs that way. If it was sitting for a year or more it will likely need a carb cleaning, but it should run on new gas if it ran on old gas. Also if there is a fuel pump make sure it is working and any filter or screens in the tank fitting or inline that they are not blocked.

2006 yamaha v star 650 not getting air
Its seems like fuel starvation ....blow(compressed air) the main and primary jets of the carburator and recheck the float level.
Set the air-mixture screw too.
Standard procedure ..tighten it all the way in ....slowly making sure you go slow as not to damage the tip of the screw and then open it 2 and half turns plus or minus.
Hope this helps!

Remove the water trap bowl at the bottom of the petcock, (gas valve). Any water or trash in the bowl? Drain a cup of gas from the tank. Any water or trash in the cup? Dump it, clean it and re-mount it, ( not all bikes have a water trap bowl ).

Drain the carburetor. There should be a screw on the lower side of the carb float bowl. Remove the screw then replace it after the fuel drains. Turn the gas back on and wait a minute for the carb to fill with gas. Install a new stock NGK spark plug and try to start the engine. If the bike doesn't start and run properly then shut off the gas and remove the carburetor from the engine.

Remove the float bowl and clean the entire carb with a spray carb cleaner from the auto parts store. Wear protective goggles to avoid getting spray in your eyes. Spray into all the little airways and fittings in the carb. Remove the two screws on the outside throat of the carb and spray into the screw holes as well.
< < READ CLOSELY > >
Be sure to put these two screws back in the same hole they came out of. IMPORTANT > do not tighten these two screws down. Only screw these in until they LIGHTLY seat. Now turn each screw one and one half turns outward. Put the rest of the carb back together, clean the air filter and install the carb. Let the float bowl fill then start the engine. Set the idle speed with the idle screw. This process should get you back on the road.

Please rate this solution. Thanks!

My 2005 vstar 1100 wont start
Im guessing here this is the first startup since garaging over winter months. Check your carb jets, if clean.........drain the gas and put fresh gas in its place.
