Where is speed sensor on Yamaha vstar 1100 - 2002 Yamaha V Star 1100 Silverado

SOURCE: LOOKING FOR RPM DIAGRAM AND SHFTING SPEEDS FOR YAMAHA VSTAR650

I want to know- if there is a big difference between a 2001 v-star classic and , say a 2005 or 06 v star classic. Are the newer ones lighter, or advanced in some way, enough to make a difference?

SOURCE: Is there a free online manual for a 2000 Yamaha

I have found a sight that has all kind of Q&As and has been very heplful. www.sloneservices.com and go to knowledge base. Hope it helps.

You will most likely find that your Air Cleaner element is blocked & possibly may have sucked up some leaves reducing air flow.

The starter button is used in an open circuit design.
You must press the starter button to "Close" this circuit before the starter will engage. Taking the starter button out of the loop helps support the suspect short. Assuming you kept the starter button wires from touching. :) If not, it is most likely the starter button.

Trace the wires coming from the starter button.
There could be a short circuit. (Same as pushing the starter button). Check along the handle bars and anywhere rubbing could cause a break in the insulation. Try this at night with the lights off.
You may be able to SEE the spark and locate it quickly.

Good luck!
