2003 Yamaha V Star 1100 Classic Logo
Anonymous Posted on Aug 18, 2013

My 2003 Yamaha 1100 v star runs great around town but when cruising at highway speeds it sputters and misfires. While accelerating from cruising speed, the sputtering goes away,however when I quit accelerating the sputtering starts again. It has new plugs, serviced air filter (hyper charger) cleaned carbs and valve set
