Yamaha V Star description

This is a 2005 V-Star 1100 Classic with only "15 miles" on the odometer.
Yes that is right, I said only "15 miles" on the Odometer.

Former owner purchased the bike brand new as a leftover in 2006, rode it home, dropped it on the right side (minimal damage to lower exhaust pipe and the end of the right throttle handle) and never rode it again (no damage to the gas tank fenders or side covers).

The GOOD:  Low miles, like new tires with no dry rot, like new brakes, like new seat.
                     Comes with a windshield and a sissy bar with back rest pad (both not shown in photos).
                     Front brake and clutch levers have been replaced with chrome ones.

The BAD:      It sat all those years and has some surface rust on some of the chrome parts.
                     The gas tank must be replaced, it has extensive rust inside. It needs a new battery.

I changed the fuel filter, put on a new fuel pump and hoses.
I have been able to get the engine to idle on only the rear cylinded using fresh gas, but it has not run (fired) on both cylinders yet.  Both carbs may need to be disassembled, cleaned and put back together.
I have a new oil filter for it but the oil has not been changed yet.

Title is in my friends name who owns the bike.
I am storing it for him at my house.

He does not have an Ebay account.

Tue, 03 Apr 2012

San Francisco-based Frog Design released images of a new electric motorcycle concept, just as its influential Yamaha FZ750-based Rana concept gets enshrined at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Frog designer Jin Soek Hwang prepared the Frog eBike concept as an expression of how electric motor technology can influence motorcycle design. In a post on Frog’s blog, the designer says he was inspired in part by Frog’s 1985 FZ750 Rana concept (pictured after the jump).

Yamaha Recalls R1 and Super Tenere for Overheating Headlights

Mon, 24 Feb 2014

Yamaha has started a recall campaign on 2009-2013 YZF-R1 sportbikes and 2012-2013 Super Ténéré models because of a risk of headlight failure due to overheating. The recall campaign affects 19,045 units of the R1 and 4,683 units of the Super Ténéré in the U.S. According to documents released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, heat generated by the headlight bulb socket may cause the terminal ends to expand, resulting in arcing between the terminal connector and bulb contact.
