ATTENTION V STAR 1100 OWNERS! when I purchased a oil filter from my yamaha dealer, the new filter DID NOT come with the new o-rings! I asked for new ones and I had to purchase them separately! However I found a FRAM filter for the v star 1100 and the o-rings were included with the filter. I guess FRAM filters aren't so bad after all. And I've never had trouble with the FRAM filters either.

Great video man!

thx for sharing, did you have to tinker with the carb afterwards?

Just to give everyone heads up (especially those who are scared to do their own work) went to my local bike shop and bought a $300 Yamaha part to make it an external oil filter. Still looks sharp and I'm sure my next oil change will be much easier.
I am not for sure if the procedure is same for the smaller 600-650 cc bike. If it is awesome.

My pleasure, and no there should be no need to do anything to the carbs.

I got 2004 V Star Classic last month, now i need to change the oil... and im totaly not sure if i should do it myself or pay lots for professionals to do this. This vid makes me think its time consuming but pretty easy however it might get tricky if i bump into problems that i dont know how to solve! any advices?

The hardest part you may come across is rusted bolts on the exhaust. Use penetrating oil like Jax's or liquid wrench on them if you have a problem. Reassemble with anti-seize on the threads. Remember you work rusted bolts back and forth dont just use brute force! Use the correct tools {remember this is a metric bike}. Take your time and note how items were installed and it should be fairly easy. I will try to talk you through it if run into problems. Good luck.
