2005 Yamaha V Star 1100 Custom Questions & Answers
Somehow oil is getting into
it sounds like your engine is burning oil. Are you having to put oil in the engine to keep it topped up on a regular basis? If you are either the rings on the pistons are worn out or the valve seals are draining into the rest of the engine and then oiling up your air filter
My o5 ,1100 custom started making a noise on the
What most likely happened was that the bushing inside the speedometer - the one where the speedo cable goes in, dried up and seized. This, in turn, probably caused the cable to snap. Now, I'm not sure if you're talking about the speedometer or the tachometer - but it doesn't matter, the result is the same; some high pitched noises, and then nothing.
Do this: take the instruments off so you can flip them over. Then, put a drop or two (but no more) of a light viscosity oil in the area where the cable attaches to the tach and speedo.
Caution: do not use more than one or two drops of oil in each - and no not leave the units upside down for any length of time. Failure to heed these warnings will cause oil to drip onto the instrument faces. Ugly and un-fixable.
Reinstall and replace the broken tach or speedo cables - and you are done.
Yamaha V-Star rear spring preload wont adjust
Right you are, jack the rear tire off the ground being careful not to pickup the swingarm at the same time...Using either a spanner wrench or VERY large pair of channel locks you should be able to turn it.
Good Luck
