- 10-10-10 Here is part 1 of a 2 part video on how to change oil and filter on a 2008 Yamaha V Star 1100 Classic. In the begining when describing stuff gathered together I ment to say oil filter, Not Exhaust Filter. This is the way I change my oil. If you have a shop manual follow the manual. This method works for me so this is the way I do it. Remember, after you run your motor to warm the oil up the motor and exhaust may be hot. Be careful not to burn yourself. It will be noisy without the mufflers on so be considerate of your neighbors. Ok, Ok, so I reved mine up a little after I turned the camera off, but not more than 15 minutes. I am not a professional so use these videos at your own risk.

The one thing I really like about this bike is the comfortable ride. I have gone 650 miles in a day and felt fine the next day. I usually stop every 100 miles and stretch my legs. I had a 82 Maxim 750. It was a nice bike. Had more horsepower than the 1100 V Star I have now. If I was to buy a new cruiser it would be a 1300 Honda. If I had the cash I would buy a Vmax. Got to get one of these before I get to old.
very nice, just got one and this is super great thanks 4 this vid
Enjoy your bike. They are great cruisers.
Very Helpful Thanks!
Love the bike, I have the 650, you should check into getting an Oil Filter Relocation Kit for your bike. It really makes an oil change EASY!
You do not need to remove any part of the top exhaust at all , only the whole bottom exhaust , should save you a lot of time if you do it the way we all do next time , check out some of the other guys videos on here , way quicker ., good luck
Thank you for the tip. I will try it out next time.
Nice looking bike. How's the ride? My 85 Maxim XJ700N is a good bike but not great for more then 100 miles & then it starts to become uncomfortable. Thinking of trading up for ether the V-Star or the new Striker witch I guess has a 1300cc engine.
My vstar idles rough. When I ease the clutch out it shuts off if I don't give it gas. Any idea what issue can be
Thanks your video was vary helpful do you have any videos on replacing front & rear brakes on same motorcycle 2008 1100 vstar Silverado
Not yet. I am going to be installing a new front tire as soon as the weather warms up so I will be checking them then.
I replaced the front brakes last spring. I didn't have enough time to make a video because I also replaced the front tire. Back brakes were still good. Sorry about that.
Not being mean , but I wouldn't recommend this guys videos , as he goes all around the houses just to change an oil filter , so God only knows what extra stuff he would do with other maintenance , best advice is , go look at how some of the other guys service 1100's on here , they are way quicker and smarter
I would check out the Yamaha forums and do a seach on the problem you are experiencing. Try to eliminate the easy stuff first.
Did u use 20w 50 in the winter too
I usually put them away mid to end of October and take them back out in beginning of May.
It's an option but so far I am having trouble parting with the $235.00 dollars.
Does anyone get a clunking noise when starting their 08 v star 1100’s ?? Sometimes it makes no clunking noise when starting .. clunking noise I mean like a loud knocking sound when I hit the start button . I know these bikes need a upgrade starter clutch gear kit but damn that’s $500 bucks and another $500 if the shop does it .. mine has 1800 miles and is already making the starter clunk noises !! What do you think about it ?’ And please don’t say I should have bought a Honda lol .. I love Honda !
After 29000 miles I haven't experience any starter noise. I must be one of the lucky ones.
Why can't you just take the oil filter cover off just by taking out those three screws on the plate that says "Yamaha"? Can it not be done?
The oil filter is actually under the larger cover. Unfortunately you have to take all the blots out, and remove the exhaust, and loosen the floorboard, and take off the brake fluid reservoir.Not real smart in the Yamaha engineering department.
I just bought one. Oh well. Pain in the ass oil change. It's worth it.
I bought my bike new and am getting close to 30,000 miles on it. It has been a great bike and has only needed normal maintenance for wear items. I am still on the original back brakes. I change rear tires about every 8,000 miles and oil about every 3,000 miles. I have put one front tire on it. I think you are going to enjoy riding your bike. They are comfortable and smooth running. Enjoy your bike and I wish you the best.
It's a camera thing. Whenever I get close to a camera I go brain dead.
You do realize your oil is thinner when it's cold right...20-50....besides that why would you want to circulate the oil right before you change it? Its sitting perfectly in the bottom of the engine until you started it. If it was a single weight oil I'd understand warming it up but its not.
I am afraid I am going to have to disagree with you on both points. Warm oil will drain faster. I have changed oil hundreds of times and you will just have to take my word for it, it is thinner when warm. If you still don't believe me get a quart of oil and put it in the freezer. After it is cold open the bottle of oil and try to pour half of it out. Then let the oil that is left in the bottle warm up and pour it out. I think you will find the warm oil pours faster.The reason I start an engine and warm it up a little is to get any microscopic dirt particles that may settle in the oil pan to move and become suspended in the oil before I drain it out. That is why detergent is added to oil to keep the dirt from settling out of the oil and plugging oil passages. The dirt is suspended and gets filtered out.
