hi there it sounds like it could be you regulator that is overcharching and blowing the fuse because of the heat in it have a feel of it when it is running and see how hot it gets . hope this helps

Need to take off the fuel tank and after intake system from carboretors

THe Green wire is the low beam, to verify this google Yamaha 1100 wiring diagram and you should find a link to the wiring diagram

If fuse was burned, the problem ought to be in the circuit in which the fuse is situated. That is your staring point for tracing back to the fault, I would think. You have eliminated the starter system so focus on the ignition system.

You need to let the bike idle on choke for about 5-10 minutes before taking the choke off to ride it.

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

start up the bike,put volt meter on battery terminals,if voltage rises with revs ,the anternator is okay,but if no volts then the alternator or the wiring to the battery is suspect

Have a buddy tip the bike over to the right - if the level is in fact too high, tipping it to the right should reveal this. If it's way too full, that could create problems. I doubt it will damage the engine but it could make a mess if it's overfilled by more than a quart.

Too much oil is better than not enough. Find out for sure before you run it any more.

There is a switch on the kickstand that is supposed to shut the motor off if the kickstand is left down and the bike is put in gear. It's a safety device that's a bit annoying - especially when it malfunctions. My guess is that this switch is electrically or mechanically stuck so it thinks the kickstand is down. It's a fairly common problem. Mess with the plunger a little - it might free up but ultimately you might just want to replace the switch if it is in fact the switch causing the problem. I hope this helped!

Yes, unless you want to spend $250 on a Baron oil filter relocation kit. http://www.motoshop.net/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=BA264000&Category_Code=BARONS&Store_Code=AIM Or $275 on a Jardine oil filter relocation kit. http://www.cruisercustomizing.com/detail.cfm?Category_ID=108&manufacturer_ID=7&product_ID=6715&sblid_name=Jardine_Chrome_Oil_Filter_Relocation_Kit___ V_Star_______ If you choose to stay with the stock set up, consider keeping new exhaust gaskets handy in case you start to experience popping and backfiring caused by leaking exhaust gaskets on the head pipes.

failed starter clutch...this is a one way centrifugal coupling within the motor that engages with the starter then disconnects when the motor fires. When these fail...the starter clutch will no longer engage with the engine properly.

check starter relay

sounds like you have a vac leak at the carb to head or you need to check your needle valve for grouves or you are running to lean. good luck, let me know how it came out i

If its like the xvs650, sometime the speedo end of the cable has a habbit of dropping off, lift the speedo housing and have a look. I had it happen just I got to a speed camera which was funny in the least.

Sorry but you will have to give further details of your problem before a solution can be advised
