| I have a 2001 yamaha v-star 1100 classic. my motorcycle is experiencing what appears to be a widespread problem with starters for this motorcycle model. since the motorcycle is out of warranty, yamaha will not correct the problem. judging from the number of people on the 1100 v-star 1100 forum, this is a very widespread problem that has yet to be addressed by yamaha. my motorcycle is displaying the same problems that indicate a faulty starter, i.e twisted connector bolts. is there any way we can force yamaha to address this issue? | |||

| The vehicle had just passed the warranty date when the starter failed. the dealer was consulted along with the manufacturer, but neither would fix the problem unless the consumer paid for it. *ak *scc *jb | |||

| I own a 2001 yamaha v-star 1100 motorcycle. this model of yamaha has a starter defect. the starter does not have a clutch and upon shutdown of the motor the starter kicks back and twists the starter backwards throwing it out of alignment and breaking the alignment tabs off. they have recently come out with a new starter with a clutch, but charge upwards of $300.00 for it. i feel this part is defective and should be recalled. many others have had this same problem also. *ph | |||
