Have 2004 yamaha vstar 1100 classic, starter has been tested good, it tries to start but wont turn over, like its not "catching" i recently installed jet kit but this problem started about a week before that

Sounds like theone way starter clutch. About 2 1/2 hrs labor taking your time. Parts may be hard to get as this is a major problem with the v star. Parts are around $500 and limited. It will eventually quit completely. Yamaha has changed the old part number to a new upgraded version. When I looked up one for a customers bike it showed $331 When I got redy to check out the price jumped to $550 Good luck. Also there is some good daigrams on the v star forum on this problem.
