    Problem starting my 2006 Yamaha Vstar 1100 after its ran for awhile?

    Inspect the air cleaner. A dirty filter will help start a cold engine by restricting air and richen the fuel mixture (just like using the choke). It will have the opposite effect on a warm engine.

    1986 yamaha yf 60 throttle questions?

    Probable intake manifold air leak. While the engine is reving, spray WD-40 all around the intake manifold where it attaches to the engine. The WD-40 will temporarily plug the leak. If the RPMs change, you found a leak

    Check the main fuse terminals. Change the main fuse to make sure that isn't a problem. The starter solenoid holds the main fuse - the solenoid may need to be replaced. Keep a 12v test light with you and ride around. When the bike goes dead, test for power at the main fuse.
