Top 20 2009 Yamaha V Star 950 Questions & Answers

Question edited for clarity, spelling corrected and a bit of punctuation added. :>) People who fiddle with electrics as a real nuisance. Makers do the electrics in a certain way for a reason. If the starter button failed on the handlebar, you replace it or find out why it isn't working. What you don't do it wire up a button somewhere else! Your bike has a neutral safety switch, I would guess it is faulty, but with fiddled about electics, it could be anywhere. https://www.google.com/search?q=2009+yamaha+v+star+neutral+safety+switch ..

I would take them off and make sure there is no mung in there. Also on the XV's make sure the vent tubes are clear. I've had problems with insects building nests in the carb vent tubes that go through the frame.

You are suddenly removing the load after hammering the engine.. the bang Bang is likely backfire. Doing that too many times and you will be replacing the clutch, engine or perhaps a helmet as you hit the floor.

Why are you removing the wheel? If you just want to reset the axle nut you don't have to remove the wheel

start tracing wires you got a ground somewhere bare are broken wire

Make sure you have petrol, if plugs and fuses are OK do lights work? If you turn on the lights do they remain bright? Have you made sure the engine stop switch is in the run position. Is the stand switch working OK also is the clutch switch working? Do you have to pull the clutch lever in to start the bike normally if so this could mean the switch at the clutch lever stock is faulty, or come loose. Find the 2 wires that go into the clutch stock and gently pull on them nothing should move. If the wires pull out with the switch connected to them, push the switch back until it clicks. If everything seems OK in that area try spraying some lube between the clutch lever and stock the switch plunger might be sticky and not coming out properly.

If it's not digital, it's possible, but you have to carefully disassemble the entire speedometer assembly & odometer to do it. I did the same to my 1981 Suzuki GS850 replacement speedometer that had more miles on it than my bike did.

may hav a bad connection--failing module-or computer issues--get it scanned-------get a clymer manual for bike repair

Hello and welcome to FixYa!
It is really secured by a double adhesive tape. I suggest that you remove the chrome, remove the existing double adhesive tapes and clean it. This will allow better grip and I suggest that you put on 3m double adhesive foam tapes. Choose the black one with red protective strips.
Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

Oil "use" on engines can vary widely, depending on the engine design and the conditions under which the motor has been run. VW, for example, considers 1 liter of oil consumption per 1600 km to be perfectly acceptable performance in its automotive engines--much to the chagrin of many car owners, who are used to motors that don't consume oil at even half that rate. In addition, sustained high-speed driving / riding will also tend to consume more oil, mostly because oil vapor is sucked into the engine as part of the emissions system.
After a long (300 km or more) highway run with my old XZ-550, I was always down about half a liter. I could ride much further than that around town and in low-speed riding without consuming any noticeable amount of oil, even when I started using synthetic oil, which had a tendency to leak past some of the motor's gaskets.
I would double-check with other V-Star owners, but I am personally not alarmed at the oil consumption that you have described, even with a relatively new, probably low-mileage motorcycle.

change the starter, pinion gear on starter is worn out if your lucky if not lucky the gear it connects to is worn out= split the cases to replace not easy to do

Error code 24 is a faulty oxygen sensor -- a relatively cheap fix. Incidentally, a faulty O2 sensor is the most common cause for a steady "Check Engine" light on any vehicle. Your V-Star is just courteous enough to tell you exactly what is wrong.

where is the clickin coming from

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.

First make sure that the new battery has been fully charged and is not defective. Next make sure that the proper voltage is reaching the started. You may have a bad post connection or loose connection at the starter. Try jumping you battery with another known good battery.
