2002 v star 1100 classic will not start

Hi,

Thank you for contacting fixya.com

You might also want to think about draining the tank and filling it with fresh fuel. Rather than stripping the carbs down I would just open up the drains and let the old stuff come out (use something to catch it). I think I might also use some jump leads and connect it to your (non-running) car's battery to help with the initial cranking.Also try the kill switch.

Also check this links to get helpful information related to the issue as to the bike engine cranks but won't start:-

Please get back to us if you have further query else please accept the suggestion.

sounds like a problem i had with my v star if u can charge it and it starts and runs for a bit then dies again check the rectifier which charges the bike

it is located on the left side of the bike below and to the front (a little) of the battery.

Turn off fuel petcock before you shut down bike. Let idle for a couple minutes. When you restart leave fuel petcock off until it fires. This works for me when its really hot outside. 2007 VSTAR 1100 classic.

YES!
Good link here:

Symptoms:
Lights flickering at times and/or battery gets hot to the touch

Problem:
Reglator/Rectifier

When the regulator dies, it allows as much as 19 volts to appear across the battery. This is not good. It will cook the battery and the battery could even explode. Fuse can not stand up to this!

Make sure your fuses have power when the key is turned on. Or, you may have inadvertantly hit the kill switch, or have a problem with it.

i HAVE A 2006 V STAR 650 CLASSIC WITH A STARTING PROBLEM, COIL PACKS HAVE BEEN CHECKED OK, CDI IGNITION MODULE HAS BEEN REPLACED AND STILL NO FIRE TO PLUGS, KILL SWITCH ON HANDLE BARS BEEN REPLACED TOO, STARTER WILL TURN ENGINE BUT NO FIRE AT ALL
