  • 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.

  • No you do not...at least with the stock exhaust

  • 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.

  • This video will also be good for smaller engine bike as well,?!!!!

  • I got a 06 vstar and this is first oil change on it it only has 900 miles so. video was very helpfull thanks

  • This was a good video, thanks for posting!

  • 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.
