My 2007 Yamaha V-star Classic 1100 won't start and is leaking some kind of fluid, possibly gas. It was running fine until a few days ago. It is low on gas, but not completely empty. It started up, then stopped after 15 seconds and won't start now. If I give it some gas on the throttle, it'll start, but only if I keep the throttle on. I located a rubber tube underneath the tank, above the engine, which is the cause of the "leaking" fluid. Any ideas?

SOURCE: Removing Yamaha rear tire (1100 Classic)

do you mean remove the wheel? tires are best left to a shop to do as they have the machine. drive shaft yes? undo all bolts thru frame to final drive casing. slacken wheel nut but do not remove spindle, pull wheel back and out of the frame the drive shaft comes with it, tace out spindle and now lift final drive from wheel, there may be a spacer which might fall out. done deal..

if you pull off your headlight you will see which wires go where, blue is normally the running light feed.

SOURCE: where is the oil filter on my yamaha V-star 1100

On the right side of the bike (right side when ou are sitting on it) just above the rear brake lever behind a small circular plate. remove the plate and the oil filter is inside (you will easily see it). Warning---on these bikes you have to drop the front exhaust header and right floor board in order to change the oil filter unless you install a after market oil filter relocation kit. If you plan on changing your own oil it is highly recommended to install this relocation kit.

SOURCE: Yamaha TW 200 starts but won't run.

If the bike has sat for a long period of time without being run - the gas that is sitting in the carb(s) will shellac.. Then the carb(s) would need to be cleaned and "rebuilt"..
