2002 Yamaha V-Star 1100 review from United States of America
"Rock Solid Bike"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Nothing has gone wrong with it.
General comments?
The Silverado package is beautiful.
It has a nice quick start at the limit line.
Using octane higher than 87, and not using a fuel cleaner from time to time will burn out your pipes. The bike is a little finicky and will back fire.
Great bike for shorter people because the seat height as well as the pedal positioning is well placed and ideal for us shorties.
