Ive got the 2009 V Star 1300. I wait until the needle returns to zero to start.

What kind of grips did you end up using?

Good job!

My same bike when hot, does not start... Only start it when its priming at the beginning dont wait when the prime is finished... Cold starts are excellent..

@brainerdraceway

Ivan's flash.

my 08 vstar 1300 will hit 90 soon as I shift to 3rd if I push it through 1st and 2nd .. and I am over 400lbs lol

Thanks for the video series on your Yamaha 1300 I just put Heritage Softail handlebars on my 2007 Yamaha 1300 and I love them.

I spent 10 yrs as a mechanic at belle plain motorsports lol

Hands free camera isn't pointed at what you're working on

How would it be carbing if it’s fuel injected

Nice work man

I have a yamaha xvs1300a motorbike, and riding it around is my relief. As it is for a lot of motorbike riders. I have had bikes all my life, and at 69, this'll will be my last. Great motorbike to finish with.

Too much talking and driving

I’ve got the shop manuals and parts manuals for these.

Thanks for the video and information. And what kinda camera you using ? I can barely hear the wind and pipes. I'm actually looking for a good camera like this.

Can you hear the speakers in highway speeds?

So you want to own a good bike but you don’t want to invest in it for maintenance. 600 dollars for a maintenance is nothing on a motorycle dude. And if you get an even bigger bike do you think it will be cheaper? :)) the more you abuse any bike the more you need to spend for maintenance. Better sell the bike and quit this hobby.

Grandpa had one of these with a 205 ( i think? ) I/o .. great boats

I just bought a1986

I have a 2008 Yamaha v Star 1300 I bought it with $4,000 on it and I have $30,000 on it right now very little maintenance oil changes tires spark plugs and one valve adjustment

I was actually looking forward to see how you did the adjustment I have a 2008 v Star 1300 same color of yours

Well done, at least YOU tried and did it, Bravo my brother All The Best

Mine won’t start how did you get electrical for it?

What were the road numbers… I recognize all except when you headed towards Waconia and turned right just outside of Victoria…153?

Nice bike! What model handlebars and grips did you install?

Happy NewYear...Minessota...GOOD EVENING...😊... 7 : 40 am....right now...😊... enjoy...your life... CICIHARYATI.

YOUR CHILDREN ARE SO COOL!!

What’s a good year on the 1300?

I just got a 71 lynx with a kawasaki engine know nothing about them. Has no suspension or drivetrain

Nice I like it good job 👍

How long would the cables have to be to put 16 inch apes on?? Anybody done that yet??

Thanks…… I was thinking of doing the same thing…….just wasn’t sure of the sound from speakers in a shallow cap? Are you running an amp also?

So these were 10”? I just ordered 10” myself. Couldn’t stand the stock bars

Hi there Andy! Wondering what you are doing for an air filter with that power commander and pipes?

Nice. I had one back in the 80s. It served me well here in northern Ontario. I am happy that I stumbled into this video. Brings back fun memories..

I'm interested in the forward controls. I'm 6'4" and 350lbs (think defensive tackle) and I was throwing my leg over several bikes recently. The V Star 1300 was the best fit, but the controls could have been more forward. Your's seem like the right distance for me. What modifications did you do?

appeared to carry you right along close to 50mph - nice! Thanks for sharing the video.

Watching this back two years later I would say two notable updates. First is do not buy a cheap mic. You can get cheap mounts and other things, but for mics you get what you pay for. Second is get a camera with a direct mic. I have had more issues with audio recording devices and syncing than with anything else. You will get a huge head start by getting a gopro with a direct mic and a quality microphone. If cost is a concern the Sony is a good starting point in the $20-$30 range. If I was going to invest in my channel I would start with a Gopro black with mic adaptor and quality mic, a good computer with enough power to quickly edit and upload, and actual editing software (NOT freeware). I would also start with "feet on the ground" content like builds and moto topics with some riding footage sprinkled in and work up to motovlogging. Walterrific and do it with dan made it look way too easy IMO.

I HAVE THE SAME LYNX SLED WITH ONLY JUST OVER 500 MILES ON IT. MY UNCLE BOUGHT IT NEW IN LACHUTE QUEBEC. IT NEEDS A CRANKSHAFT SEAL , THE ORIGINAL SPUN OUT OF POSITION WHEN I STARTED IT . THE SLED WAS STORED FOR MANT YEARS SO I GUESS IT DRIED OUT AND BECAME LESS FLEXIBLE. MY QUESTION IS DO YOU KNOW OF A CANADIAN SOURCE FOR THE SEAL AND ALSO DOES THE CLUTCH PULL OFF THE SHAFT OR IS IT SCREWED ON? YOU CAN EMAIL ME AT CLAUDE.BOWERS@GMAIL.COM WITH ANY INFORMATION IF YOU WISH.

Did you have to modify anything to get the Harley bars to fit? Been looking at some ape hangers but the website says they are motorcycle specific and only fit harleys

Awesome classic!

Had one for years and learned a lot about sleds while have a great time riding :) Looking forward to hearing/seeing your journey bringing it back to the snow!

My next step will be tuning. IT runs great wound up but will not idle... www.angelfire.com/pa2/snowbolens/tuning.html

Good job!

I also have a 73 lynx I'm working on and trying to rebuild the carb Have the kit but didnt take enough pictures dis-assembling Doing many of the same things as you and soaked the fuel tank with muriatic acid and wondering if i should now coat the inside Help on carb re-assembly please

Thanks for this. Subscribed. BTW, Here's a tip...cover the tank with a towel before you start. I cringed right from the start, especially when your electric tool slipped. Second tip.....did you know that the gaps between the handlebar clamps are supposed to all be equal? It's easy to put undue strain on the cast arch clamps if you don't do this, and they could crack.

I had one of those when I was a kid (late 80's/early 90's). Lots of good times on it. Not a rocket, but reliable and easy to work on.

Nice job

Interestingly enough I have determined this is a 1973. Also, a correction of my statement... the 292cc is a Kawasaki engine. Furthermore, I learned that the Waconia Ride-In is now the Midwest Ride-In and will be in Elk River at the ERX motorsports park. I am assuming this may be due to a combination of lake conditions the last few years and the fact the park in Waconia remodeled their parking lot. A lot more learning to come, I am sure. feel free to make comments to help me on my path.
