THAT IS YOUR PROBLEM WE WOULD NOT KNOW AS NEVER DID WHAT YOU DID NOR WOULD I WANT TO

You need to check the voltage on the battery while the engine is running. If it's less than 14volts, then the charging system isn't working at all, and that's how you test it. Don't just replace parts, test until you find what's bad. It may be as simple as a broken wire.

Check Both ends of Your Ground to battery,ECU,Stator,, But First Have a Shop, Check Your Ignition Switch. Check Fuses, Rectifier and Stater..You will find it in these places.

HMM, Remove seat, and any wiring to tail light, Licences plate light etc. then proceed to remove bolts that attach fender to frame. Roll it backwards towards ground. Do not scratch-just saying !!!!.

That's because the LED bulbs draw so little current the flasher relays doesn't know anything is there. You need an electronic flasher relay, OR you need to put a resistor in parallel with the bulbs to draw more power. I *think* you have a pretty common 2-post relay, or possibly a 3-post relay on your bike, so something like this should work; https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/car-install-supplies/cf13gl-02-led-bulb-electronic-flasher/782/

FYi - there's a site glass on the left side of the bike, under the left riders peg. Make sure the bike is level, oil is warm and bike is off - do not let the oil get over the upper mark... just under the upper mark is good, a little closer to middle is better.

if the bike is fuel injected- the pump is in the fuel tank.. if the bike has carburetors- there is normally no fuel pump- the fuel gravity feeds from the tank thru the petcock valve into the carbs

Check the acid level in the battery. After a season running in hot weather, wet-plate batteries have often lost some water to evaporation. I see this often here in Texas. The new charge won't hold and electrical gremlins pop up often. Also check for loose or corroded connectors on battery terminals and starter relay.

Loose ground wires can cause all kinds of problems, and since ground wires are located in multiple locations specific to each model, each wire must be checked to assure connection. If you have a starter problem, check the positive connection to the starter as well. Remove seat and side covers and look closely at the frame to find black and/or black with another color attached to the frame. Remove, clean and reinstall each connection. Paint, rust and other corrosion can degrade connections. Also check your wires for corrosion, especially the battery wires.

Have you checked the fuel supply? Could be a dead fuel pump or a blocked fuel filter.

knackered battery.

Check alternator output and the regulator- the regulator may not be working and the battery got overcharged badly

Locate the black wire attached to the battery, follow it to where it attaches to the engine or the frame.

Remove plastic covers from the heads (front on left side of bike, rear on right side). Use the spark plug wrench that came with the bike in the toolkit. You do not need to remove the seat.

yes. There are quite a few web sites that will allow you to download a copy! autorepairmagz.com/search/2002+yamaha+vstar+1100+manual+free+download

In the heads..(just kidding) . you may have to remove the gas tank... follow the spark plug wires to the general area.

Not by default. The switch is normally open and when you pull in the clutch it closes the switch. Some owners like to by-pass the clutch switch and that allows the bike to start in gear. You can by-pass the clutch safety switch in a couple of ways.
