2000, v-star 1100, loud winning when slowing down in gear (5th to 1st), sound will stat after going into 1st gear and moving foward again.
If I slow down in any gear as slowing for a stop or going down hill the engine or drive train will most time whine, high pitch, very loud. If I stop and start out in 1st gear the sound most times gos away. If I start out in second after the sound starts, the sound is still there. This sound doesn't happen everytime, but most riding times. Sometimes I hold the clutch in when going down hill so the sound will not start up. 45000 miles on this bike. What can I do - fix?

Had same problem with my sons 2000 1100. Was told by mechanic that the High RPM Jet was clogged and to clean carb. I filled the tank, put 1/3 of a can of Seafoam carb/injector cleaner, by the end of the week it was running 100 mph again.
hi, if when you start your bike you press the gear lever down to go to 1st from neutral and then pull it back up to go to 2nd,3rd,4th and 5th then the only way to get back into first gear is to press the gear lever down 4 times to get it back into 1st gear their is no quicker way to do this you have to work your way back down the gears.
if your coming to a stop quick then just pull the clutch in and keep pushing the lever down until it dont push down any further it will only go down 1 gear at a time so you will need to push it down 4 times but you dont need to count you can just keep pressing it down the gears until it dont go down any more then you know this is first, you need to keep the clutch in when doing this.
how ever if your slowing down is more gradual then what you can do is go from 5th down to 4th then let engine slow the bike down then when the revs drop down change down to 3rd and so on until you get ot 1st gear.
if your coming to a stop quick say at lights or junction then if the bike is in 5th gear then you can change down the gears once the bike has stopped just hold the clutch in when you stop and keep tapping the gear lever down until you feel that its not going down any more gears this way you know its in 1st without having to cound down the gears, their id no quicker way of going down the gears to get to 1st.
i hope i have read your question right and gave you the answer you was looking for if i got the question wrong then please explain then i can assist you further ok
Try putting it in 2nd, then 1st, if that works, sounds like you clutch is bad or defective. 1st gear has no syncro to slow the gears down, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th do.
Sounds like the pressure plate! Try this, rev the engine for a sec then when it starts to slows down try to put it in reverse - if the gears grind, its the pressure plate which will come with the clutch kit for about 125-175.00.
