2000 Yamaha XVS 1100 Dragstar Classic - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Honestly, it would be easier for you to ask this question directly on the site selling spare parts for Yamaha. Just visit this link. Compare the different models or simply ask the consultant a direct question. I always do this before making a purchase. Motorcycles older than 1990 have their own characteristics that should be considered when replacing parts.

Your manual is on carlsalter.com.

Relay chatter is caused by a low battery or defective battery, have it tested.

change your brand of oil.

It could be the exhaust baffles inside the pipe have given away from its spot weilding whn new, this is due to rust and off course usage.
Try to kick the exhaust pipes (gently and see if theres the same kind of nosies you get when you ride and cruise.

The power supply rectifier may be bad.

I can't say for sure but I would say it would be the opposite side to the disc to balance it out.saying that I have seen alot of wheels and never seen one like that,providing it is balanced it should not start handling like a Harley ,anyway it will always go better.;0)

The exhaust valve is stuck in the open position or does not close all the way, could be burned as well

rear 35-40 psi , front 25-30 . im a hard rider and im16st plus passenger on a VMAX but simular tyres !

start with checking your fuses, if all three running lights are not working (front two and rear running/brake) then it should be power related. if your fuse is ok check you bulbs, it's ez and quick.
if you haven't found your power it's time to get out the test light. Start at the fuse block and work way to the lights when loss power you found your problem. If your fuse is blown we now that something made it blow, replace the bulb (if one is blown) and turn on the bike with a new fuse, if blows test for ground on the power wire this the bike off. a multimeter on the ohm setting is the easiest way to do this. now this can take a bit it there is a short in the wire take your time and you'll do fine.

Yes it tapered, it requires a special puller to remove

If the oil level is correct, about the only thing remaining is worn rings. You can try another brand of oil and use a heavier oil, but it will always come back to the rings having to be changed in the end.

That depends on make and type of tyre fitted plus size and your riding attitude.
Run of the mill is 28 fromt and 32 rear.

Check you plugs - if dark or black thats where the gas is going - Maybe re-jet

Go to the site below and do a free service manual download. They have a XVS 1100 manual 26th from the bottom of the Yamaha section. It doesn't say what year or language it is. Some of the manuals are German/French etc. I hope this helps.

Please rate this answer. Thanks

Do a google its there...

This is a highly ill - eagle act to do. In the old days we would put an electric drill on the drive cable, but now they make them tamper proof so they only go one way. The bezels are crimped on so you can't get inside them. I expect modern one may be electronic. How will your insurance company know what mileage you have done? I have never known an insurance cancel or fine due to mileage. You should have just disconnected it when you got close to the limit. Buy a used one and use them for 6 months in turns.
