Yamaha Finally Fixed The Problem

[@bryanchrist8876]

I just gotta say. I’ve been watching you since I bought my first ever bike 6 months ago. A Yamaha Royal star tour deluxe. But what really caught my eye was the fact that you read the “Words of wisdom”. And you have done it in every video. In a world that looks down on believers. I just gotta say, Thank you! Always great content. And I appreciate your priorities.

[@Old_Patriot]

I bought a 2007 V-Star 1300 Tourer from an individual ten years ago with 1800 miles on it. I've put another 24K on it and I've never had an issue with the bike. I have to say that I love my V-Star 1300. The wife and I rode 2-up from our home just north of Denver to Sturgis with the saddle bags and a big sissy-bar bag loaded down and the bike performed great! You can get a bigger bike and you can get a faster bike, but I don't think you can get a better bike.

I bought a 2009 V Star 1300 after watching the test drive review here of the 2007 model. Great bike,great power and lot of space for a 6´2 rider. No mecanical problems at all after 51.000 km

[@geraldscott4302]

I hate it when someone puts a big number in front of KM. The real mileage is only about half that. I put 128,000 MILES on a 1997 Kawasaki Vulcan 750 bought new, before the poorly designed cam chain system broke and destroyed the engine.

I love my 1300. If anyone wants to buy one, take the windshield off and put an open air cleaner, exhaust, and power boost fuel controller on it. It runs like an ape. I've beat the 103 Harley's and can keep up with most big bikes. I love it, they could make a lighter muscle cruiser frame like the V-rod with this motor. Yeah it's not the fastest, but it's a cruiser so who cares.

I have an 2006 Yamaha 1100 myself. I actually picked it up for $1,300.00 from a Harley Davidson dealership. Somebody had already done some major power improvements to it but ultimately it's a great bike. I love it so much I will definitely get another VStar, hopefully my next one will be fuel injected though. By the way another good video 👍.

[@martincvitkovich724]

Stake the shaft nut. Shafts break. Lube the splines, starter clutch failure, take the exhaust apart to change the oil filter. Take the rear swing arm apart to lube the swing arm... are just some of the reasons I let my 2004 Silverado 1100 go cheap after 28,000 miles. It was a hassle to maintain, unlike my Road King with 82,000 miles.

[@ricmiller484]

Hi Sean, I truly enjoy your vlogs. I've been looking at 2014 to 2016 VStar 1300 Tourers as I really like the bike, but have two issues. I've read several reviews concerning the heat coming off the bike even with it being liquid cooled and the second and perhaps more important it seems the brake pedal and shifter heal toe are bot a bit short / small. I am 6'2'' , 260 and wear a size 14 shoe boot. I can't seem to get my footing comfortable on the floorboard w/o pushing up against the brake pedal. Also I can't seem to find an aftermarket extended brake pedal or longer heal toe. I currently ride a Suzuki C50t and don't have that issue. Just curious if you or any of your followers have had this problem and can offer any solutions. Thanks Ric

[@Tracert-mc1hu]

I know this is an old comment, but the heat coming off the bike isn't terrible. It is definitely noticeable, and can be annoying especially when the fan kicks on.

My 950 is a great bike, but with a passenger I want better braking and a little more power for longer road trips. I'm making a move to a larger bike...probably a 2018 Indian Springfield, but I'd hate to get rid of the Yamaha. It can't be beat for reliability.

[@boogie9126]

I bought a 2015 leftover in June with the leather bags and screen. Never had a bike with a screen and after a few rides took it off. looks better now and is rock steady at 80 plus mph. Quick for a cruiser and handles pretty fair. Great bike and from what I hear is very reliable. Nice video btw.

I've got a 2007 650v star classic. My only problem with it and most yamahas in general is the "Jettson Mobile" sound they all Make. No complaints about how they run or handle but that sound burdens me. Pull in the clutch no jettson sound so it's got to be in the gear box. Love the words of wisdom.

[@MaaZeus]

Oh lord I fricking hate the heel toe shifter. Someone had installed one (with floorboards and all) into my current bike Marauder and while the bike itself is nice those damn heel toe shifter almost got me into accident, TWICE. All because I accidentally tended to press the heel lever from first gear to neutral in exactly the wrong times. And yes I have very big feet which is probably why I had so much trouble with them. In any case, I got fed up with them and sawed the heel part off with an angle grinder. 🤬 Problem solved, never had issues since.

They didn't make the 1300 in 2002. You probably mean an 1100. The 1300 is only 200cc more, but it's a totally different bike...way more bike. Puts out 25-30 HP & TQ more than an 1100, and responds well to pipes and open type intake.

[@covfefeholyfield6800]

I bought a brand new left over 2014 vstar 1300s about 2 months ago, still in the crate for $6720. Its the standard version no bags or shield. Very light handling bike even compared to my honda vtx 1300. They weigh about the same but the vstar feels lighter off the stand and is much easier to throw around at low speeds. My only complaint (as touched on in the video) is these engines don't seem to have a lot of low end torque compared to most v twins this size. It pulls hard once rpms build and is ultimately faster than my vtx but at its much easier to lug the Yamaha at low rpms. If you're in too high a gear this thing will let you know it's not happy. All and all you cant beat these bikes for the money.

The VStar 950 could be a decent choice. However, the Yamaha's feel significantly bigger/heavier compared to the Shadow line. It's not so much the power you'd have to get used to but the weight of the bike.

I think they addressed the starter clutch issue in 2000-01, by adding a 2 way clutch that would absorb the kickback from the motor, when you turn off the bike. I unfortunately had a 99. You can twist the starter back in place if it fails, but that only works a couple times, before tab on the case break's and it just spins in the housing. I still Loved my 1100.

From everything I've learned, I'd choose the V Star 1300 every time. V Star is fuel injected/ VTX1300 is carbed. V Star has more power than the VTX. And big one for me is, V Star oil change is much easier than the VTX. I hear Honda put 2 drain plugs underneath and the oil filter is in a terrible position that I guess you can't hardly get a filter wrench on and there isn't enough room to use a K&N with the nut on top.

Check fuel pump and set float level

Make sure pilot jet is clean. Bike will idle for days until you touch the throttle with a dirty or clogged pilot jet.

I know how the starter clutch issue feels😅 bought an 1100 that wasn't running for $1000 and found out it has the typical starter clutch issue 😂

[@channell11]

You still got a deal if that was the only problem-particularly if you worked on it yourself

[@nikitasamsonov2909]

Talk about starter clutch, I just bought an 07 and just found out it has a broken middle drive gear shaft.

[@jaymorris3468]

Didn't even know they had a problem

[@michaelthomas788]

V-Star is when Yamaha bought the patent to make Yamaha look and sound like Harley didn't really work out for 1 the Japanese bike there's only one Harley that's United States made they have a little more issues in the V-Star but they don't bend valves or starter clutches cuz they were piss-poor engineered I hate that starter clutch to put it on everything they make Yamaha Honda does it Kawasaki Suzuki does it they all do it and it's on purpose would that so that it breaks down and you have to spend money fucked up one way bearing

So crazy how many people can't handle one little prayer. I'm not religious but i have a v-srar, i almost didn't even hear the psalm or whatever it was. I wonder how those same people will feel when they see Harleys new marketing strategy.

[@michaelthomas788]

Yeah like they've been valve special V Star even old gas will bend your valve kind of shity for Yamaha I remember back in the day the older Yamaha they were indestructible now they try to be like Harley and they're very destructible you're not bending valves they turn off while riding for no reason there is no fuel petcock to turn fuel off or on no more reserve tank personally I think that's a bunch of shit

[@robertsalyers1351]

I like this bike for sure

[@Khonflict34]

Amen, God is good! All who believe in the good news of Jesus Christ, that He paid for our sin nailing it through Him to the cross dying. Being buried and rising on the 3rd day that all would know He is the Son of God. To deny we can earn our way to salvation and believe in His finished work. To those who believe this in their heart in the name of The Father, The Son, and of The Holy Spirit be baptized, Amen.
