Before pulling the old fuel line hose out attach an end of new hose to end of the old one and pull old hose through...new hose will follow and you will be able to get it through that tough area with out any problems. Use a dowel or 2" length of bar that you can slip the hose ends over. Also, I would have replaced the Fuel Filter as well...they are pretty cheap and will give you a better flow than old one.
in ur video when u said u heard the clicking noise when u turned ur key , i may be late but mine done the same thing , but i noticed mine when i was having other problems , so i had ordered another fuel pump and thats ehen i noticed that same exact noise , it was the fuel pump , i just thought id share that brother , be safe bro
I have the same year 1300 and it back fires and runs rough occasionally. Mostly at idle. I can’t figure out what it is. But I’m not a mechanic. Nice video. Thanks for your help.
Thanks for watching. It could be something with the idle circuit or an issue with the carb flooding. I've seen videos of people bypassing the air pump. That was going to be my last resort.
@@wonkster1970 Thanks for your reply. It has the original spark plugs, so I changed them and haven’t had any more problems. So glad it was an easy fix. Love the bike.
Letting my VStar1100 sit to many months with ethanol gas was the beginning of the end..finally got the carbs off,jets cleaned and ran great for a while...now dies but maybe it’s plugs...
It might be the plugs. I try to run the gas out at the end of the season. My XL600R does not like stale gas. I have to drain the carb bowls if it sits too long between runs.
I have had several Yamahas like XS650s, Viragos, and V Stars and to me, they seem to eat spark plugs. I usually had to change the plugs every spring after running them all summer and letting them sit all winter. The spark plugs always looked fine but needed replacing...
@@wonkster1970 Well, I have tried several spark plug brands, but I generally use NGK. Anyway, I've gotten so I just change spark plugs every spring before the riding season no matter what they look like...
@@charlieswearingen500 I use NGK also. I worked on a bike that had Champions in before. They were fouled out. I'll have to see how it starts next year.
@@wonkster1970 I use Champions in my cars and they are fine, but I never use them in my motorcycles just because they fouled out every spring riding season. I know, it's weird and it happened mostly in the Virago and V Star which is basically the same engine. So maybe it has more to do with the engine than the plugs?
Do you have any other videos of you taking off the air box tubes I need to do a cleaning on them but the same pretty hard to get to from the view of the camera ?
Have the same bike doesn’t want to power on keeps turning over, good battery it’s a 2013 8,000 miles. I rolled throttle while starting and got a big pop. I don’t know what’s going on I just took it out the day before did about 60 miles next day didn’t want to start. Please help any ideas what it can be?? Or what I should troubleshoot??
@@wonkster1970 thanks for the advice .it’s started right up all I did was pull the coke out and roll the throttle a few times then turned it on and it stated up
Thanks for the video. Im assuming the fuel line you replaced was OEM ? My fuel line was brittle and sprung a leak. No chance in saving it. So now Im looking into getting oem or just any regular 5/16" fuel hose.
@@wonkster1970 how would a stuck needle cause it. i did change my plugs, helps but still backfiring i used E3 plugs, not really a big change i thought it would be. three electrode plugs
@@ronhanish a stuck or not sealing float needle would allow an excess amount of gas to get into the cylinder while the bike is running. It would cause a rich running condition which could cause the backfire.
I have an 09 1300 that keeps backfiring while on the throttle any ideas as to why it has cobra exhaust pipes and an aftermarket air breather. i bought it this way. ive replaced the spark plugs already and it still does it also is it harmful to continue to ride it like that
If anyone knows an aftermarket part to replace the injectors please comment. 2009 Yamaha V Star 1300 Tourer Injectors are 3D8137610000 Inp 284/2 284082G All 3 are the injectors. Every where I've looked either is on backorder or they don't carry that part. Any info would be helpful
The owner seemed to just ride it until it broke. I think he lived up in to coal regions of Pa. There was a lot of coal dust on it. After I fixed it, he hopped on it and drove it 2 hours home! He said it's been running great! He traded me the 2001 650 for fixing this bike.
this is hard to watch some ppl should never touch motorcycles esspecialy other peoples motorcycles. guy doesnt even know what pliers r for lol use clamp pliers for the hose then uses needle nose for the clamp wtf r u doing who the f buys a fuel line from the dealer $$$$$$$$ odviosly that stuff is junk it turns rock hard but if you wanna pay 50$ vs 1$ per foot i geusss
So, I watched this video twice today. Besides some of the camera angles, I thought it came out pretty good. I used the Duck Bill Pliers to remove the hose clamps. Most of the time they work great on those squeeze clamps. The other pliers, that are specifically for hose clamps, work really good to remove stuck fuel lines. I could of went with some 1/4 inch or 5mm bulk fuel line. I decided to go with the OEM because of the crazy bends toward the fuel tank. I've had problems with bulk line kinking before. Braided line probably would of worked also. Anyway, thanks for your comment. Stay safe.
@@wonkster1970 Don't let people like this get under your skin. He does offer some suggestions if you can get past the condescending tone. I appreciated the video as I as am helping a friend out with his Virago.

I like when it backfires, only happens sometimes when I throttle down.

Next time just but the new hose up to the old hose wrap, a little electrical tape on it and it’ll pull in when you pull the old one out
Thanks for the advise. I'll do that next time. Thanks for watching!

Check the spark plugs. See what their condition is. Make sure you have spark and compression.
Drain the fuel bowls on the carbs also. Maybe got some water in the gas.

@@janalyn06 Sounds good. You're welcome.
I'm having the same problems iv just cleaned carbs and jets had new plugs put in and still no luck
Thanks for the video. Im assuming the fuel line you replaced was OEM ? My fuel line was brittle and sprung a leak. No chance in saving it. So now Im looking into getting oem or just any regular 5/16" fuel hose.
Yes. The fuel line was OEM. The end of the hose was hard and kept splitting.
Mine was always backfiring turns out the choke was staying on just a bit needed adjustment
Great work. Glad to hear it was just a choke adjustment.
I took off the AIS and re jetted the carbs added new cobra pipes only backfire happens at decel now
I was still getting some popping through the pipes on decel. Not bad though. I'm working on a 2001 650 that will have the cobra pipes on it.
IIs backfire at decel when you rev the throttle then stop the revving then it pops? Mine pops when I rev then close the throttle to shift.
@reyrodriguez7780 this bike would do it at idle and deceleration. It was very loud!
Fuel cut solenoid is around $200+ for v star 1100 now 😢
Wow!
what was causing the backfire? i just unclogged my main jets and replaced the idle jets, runs better than it did but it started backfiring>>??
It was a combination of things. Spark plugs and a stuck needle in the one carb. Raw gas was being pushed into the exhaust.
@@wonkster1970 how would a stuck needle cause it. i did change my plugs, helps but still backfiring i used E3 plugs, not really a big change i thought it would be. three electrode plugs
@@ronhanish a stuck or not sealing float needle would allow an excess amount of gas to get into the cylinder while the bike is running. It would cause a rich running condition which could cause the backfire.
@@ronhanish This guy has it going on. th-cam.com/video/eSky1ZfHdhA/w-d-xo.html
Nice video.
I would have duct tape the new fuel hose on to the end of the old one and pulled it through. Would have made it easier.
How did you test the carb solenoid?
I touched the outside of the solenoid to ground and touched the wire to the positive side of the battery.
you can also test with a 9v battery I had to solder mine too last season
Thanks. I didn't think about using a nine volt battery.
What causes one of the exhaust pipes to get cherry red hot on my 2007 1100 v-star?
Sounds like you have a lean mixture on one of the carbs.
@@wonkster1970 That is what I was thinking.
I have an 09 1300 that keeps backfiring while on the throttle any ideas as to why it has cobra exhaust pipes and an aftermarket air breather. i bought it this way. ive replaced the spark plugs already and it still does it also is it harmful to continue to ride it like that
What were the conditions of the spark plugs when you replace them? Were they black?
Yes they were black but not fouled out
@@josephlapadat9147 I wonder if the previous owner changed the jets in carb after putting the cobra exhaust on.
@@wonkster1970 all I know is I found a shop to check it out so I'm just waiting to hear back from them.
Okay. Let me know what they find.
How much did the customer pay for this service?
The customer gave me another bike in exchange for the work that I did on his bike. It probably would of cost him $300 or $400 to have the work done.
@@wonkster1970 It’s difficult to find someone to work on a motorcycle at a reasonable price around here. You did good.
