Vstar 650 2005 tire pressure
The pressure on the sidewall is the max for that tire. Not the "correct" for model and weight of bike - and that value is usually significantly lower.

If old gas sat in the carb.s for more than a month it starts to dry up. As it drys up it leaves behind a varnish like film that stops up some very small ports and pin holes inside a motorcycle carburetor. It is also very hard to get out. You can try this before you pull the carb.s for a full cleaning.Use a product called Seafoam, get as much gas out of the carb.s as you can. use a turkey baster and force the seafoam into your carb.s fuel line that you take loose from the fuel tank. Let that set for say 1 or 2 days. then hook up the fueltank with a mix of good gas and seafoam, (not a lot but enough to start it up. Move the cycle outside as the seafoam will make a lot of smoke if it does start up. If that does not clear up the problem you may have to pull the carb(s) and remove the blows to clean the inside. If you have to do that do not DO NOT MESS with any adjustment screws, DO NOT MESS with any adjustment screws. Just take the carb. bowl(s) off keep each one separate and number them so they do not get mixed up. do not mix up any internal parts. It is best to work on one at the time so nothing goes wrong. Work on a large sheet so if you drop a small part you can find it, you do not want to be missing some tiny spring or screw. Now, the fuel dumping out right now means one of the carbs needle and float is stuck open. You can try and tap on the carb bowl or bottom with a hammer handle to un-stick the float. Hope this Helps Fix Ya Up..
When i try to start
It is probably a carburetor over flow tube. If the float has saturated with fuel and sunk or if the float needle is stuck causing the bowl to over flow gas, the fuel is supposed to come out the tube rather than fill your engine with gasoline (ruining your oil). A fuel system cleaner like Chevron Techron might clean the inside of the carburetor with out disassembly. If you tap on the bowl of the carburetor with the handle of a screwdriver you may be able to unstick the float needle but you will still need to degum the the deposits in the carb. If the cleaning does not work it is possible that the float needle is damaged and needs replacement. Try the system cleaner first, If that does not work , disassemble, clean, and inspect.

So check the compression. The valves could be set wrong or are not sealing well. You didn't mention any smoking so the piston rings should be okay. The most likely cause of the problem is a pin hole in the
carb diaphragm or a
carb needing to be cleaned. Go ahead and drain the float bowl then remove it. Now clean the
carb with spray
carb cleaner. With a bit of luck the cleaning alone will fix the problem.
Please rate my answer. Thanks.
2005 Yamaha v star 650 losing power
What Exactly does the bike do when it 'loses power'? This will give clues as to where the issue could be. When was the last time the bike was given a major service? Sometimes it can be as simple as a dirty fuel/air filter or an old/worn or dirty spark plug.
