I purchased my VStar 650 in April used with a little over 4000 miles. Had the bike a week and it has been running rough an hesitating. then last week I went to start it and notice fuel poring out of the top exaust pipe. The Idle is weak and when I put the choke in normal position the bike shuts off.

Hello I have a 1995 Sonoma 4.3 with 150.000 on her and she ran great tell last week went to pick up a lite trailer and dove it home no problem drove it all day after that. The parked it running fine and next morning it won't hold a idle but clears up at 3000 RPM runs fine drop in gear and it won't stay running??? Cleaned TBI and there was a new fuel pump and filter put on it less them 7.000 miles ago. Found vacuum leak on the booster to manifold fix that still runs like it is misfiring??? Any help would be great thanks no check engine light on.
2000 to 4000 miles city driving, 3000 to 6000 highway or touring. The bike will tell you when it needs a change. It will run rough and be a little more noisy than usual (Vibration).
I would guess that the tires need balancing. There is a product you can buy that is a bunch of little BB's you put in the tire that will balance it. I have not used it so I would recommend taking your bike to a tire shop and have them balace it for you.
this sounds like a bearing in the gear box on the lay shaft maybe prop the bike up on a satnd and run it up in gear to here the gear box working
ps,,,dont let it fall off the stand when its running up!
sounds major. Clanking and low on oil sounds like a broken piston ring. Suggest dealer check with compression tester rear cylinder. Replace v star with Harley if necessary.
Seafoam try it...local autozone sells it...i put in 1/3 can to two gals..it'll run a little rough for a while but after hitting it hard for fifteen miles you should notice a dramatic improvement. the hesitant and horse power came right back to normal.
Most likely the carbs need cleaning and adjusting. You may want to richen the A/F ratio when you do it. They are set really lean from the factory. I would go 1/4-1/2 turn out on the A/F screw.
pull the choke out fully, start the engine, push choke into halfway if it will still run, let it warm for a min or 2. ride it, it may need choke still for about a mile. but thats trial and error, try pushing it in, you will find out right away if the bike still wants it.
i have an owners manual on this bike if you need a copy e-mail me [email protected]
