2002 Yamaha V-Star 1100 review from United States of America
"I do not regret my decision to buy this bike"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Starter clutch failed.
AIS tube to front jug cracked and spraying condensed rusty water.
General comments?
Bought my 2002 V-Star 1100 Classic used in 2005 after 24 years from selling my last M/C. Great bike at a low cost to provide comfortable two up riding. Only wish it had a sixth gear.
If you plan on riding long distance with your significant other, you'll need a better passenger seat.
Changes: Mustang Seat / Windshield / Oil filter relocation kit / Samson pipes / jets / Crash bars / Sissy bar and luggage rack / Leather Lyke Saddle Bags.
Needed: Removal of AIS.
