|  2003 v star 1100 high idle
First Post here Hello everyone. I just bought a 2003 V Star 1100 with about 3000 miles last week. Unfortunately I did not test drive the bike enough and I am paying for it now. After several minutes of riding The bike will not come to a normal idle. While in between shifts or much worse at idle the revs will not settle until sitting for a minute or two, at idle the bike still sounds like you are doing about 50 mph. I took it to a local shop and he replaced the vacuum hoses only for the problem to remain, after taking it back when the problem persisted he said I might need to take it to the local Yamaha dealership, ouch. This is my first cruiser and I am not even able to enjoy it. Any advice, thanks. |
