Thank you!! Just got an '05 roadstar from my father in law. Trying to get it running and worked the issue to the carburetor. Tried taking it off but couldnt get it fully disconnected. This video showed me how to disconnect what I couldn't!!
I have an '04 1700 that has been standing for 2 years (near the sea) and won't start. I think (hope) that it is only the carburetor that needs cleaning. Your video is great, really makes it look easy. Thanks a lot.
Great step by step video! I’ve been needing to do this for a long time. I appreciate you taking the time to put this together. I’ve got a 2000 that I’ve had tons of carb issues with and it’s time for a complete rebuild. Hope you’re doing well and still tinkering with bikes!!
This is great, man. I have an '06 1700 and it looks to be about the same, so I'm "goin' in". You get extra points for being able to disconnect the connectors one-handed, bro. I'd definitely need a tripod for the camera/phone to free up the other hand. Nicely done.
I have 2006 just bought it and just realized the back seat moves side to side but the back bolt is tight ,I thought I saw a bracket holding the two seats together or is mine supposed to be like that separate
Mi estimado BRO , te agradezco por todos estos videos tan pura vida. Muchas gracias , y por los otros videos , ESPERO que algún dia hagas uno con una YAMAHA 1600==1700, seria genial que lo hiciera rodando , SUERTE y BENDICIONES HERMANITO, Cuidese PURA VIDA
Do you think its possible to do a tank lift without much trouble on these road stars? It looks like the front sits on some kind of frame tabs or something?
if I understand correctly you like to permanently lift your gas tank higher ... it is difficult to do on this bike.... mainly because the ignition switch is integrated with the speedometer and you would have to do a lot of fabrication to make it happen so it's not impossible but it's not easy
if I remember correctly you need to remove the assembly that holds the shifter with the floorboard ....two large bolts on the frame below the floorboard....and then you can remove the shifter. Thank you for your interest and please subscribe it will help me out 😊
Carbs can be a pain, but RS owners should be thankful to Yamaha that the bike only has ONE carburetor. Just imagine Honda Valkyrie owners needing to maintain SIX carbs!! 🥺

Man these videos are incredible thank you.
I got it out. Now hopefully I can put it back in. I am not Mr. Fix It. Thanks for the video, very, very helpful.
Thank you and hello from Canada.
Great video amigo! Saludos de San Antonio, TX
hey man, don't know if you do request, but there are no good installation video's for a hypercharger on a xv 1600...
impressive how you just get this all done with pretty much just one hand. Nice.
Thanks for the video, about to do mine for the first time

what carburetor goes on a Yamaha xv1600 road star
How do u take off shifter on a road star 1600

why is the bike so extremely dirty? man, it could look really nice clean.
Terrible video , you don't have to take tank or seat off
are you able to disconnect everything on the carb without taking the tank off?
terrible video
Excellent video. But you need to clean the bike.
