SOURCE: fuel drain tube...i think
I have 08 1100 vstar, haven"t road in a month or so, but have regulary started to keep baterry charged. i took it out yesterday to ride, hard to start, acted like it running on one cyl. strong smell of unburned fuel from exhaust. ????????
SOURCE: 2005 1100 vstar wont start. srarter working fine.
If the bike ran well the day before, and nothing strange like no oil in the crankcase is going on, then the bike is likely to be fine. What isn't fine is the starter. The starter motor may be running fine but if the starter gear does not engage then the pistons are not going to move. It is time to call the dealer and talk with them as to repair or replacement cost. If replaced, keep the old starter for parts.
You may also want to check out a starter from a wrecked bike. Google " motorcycle salvage yamaha ". Chances are you can get a good starter for cheap.
Please rate this solution. Thanks! :)
