Yamaha V Star description

 

For sale is my 2000 V-Star. As you can see I've extensively modified the aesthetics of the bike, making it a very retro looking ride (lesser informed individuals have asked me if it was an Indian...yeah, no comment there). The engine is stock, however, I have relocated the air pods to underneath the gas tank to eliminate the awful looking stock airbox. I've added Hard Chrome Stripper pipes and the carbs have been re-jetted accordingly. Other changes include a classic sprung leather saddle from La Perla which uses a mounting kit from West Eagle, ape hangers, chopped rear fender, a new headlight, new tail light/plate holder from No School Choppers, Metzler ME 880 white wall tires (approx 1500mi on them), powder coated and overhauled wheels with new bearings, and all new paint on the tank and fender done by the very well respected Pinstripe Chris (of sharpie'd Lambo fame). All major maintenance has been done by Iron Works in Gaithersburg MD.  Bolts and passenger pegs are still in place to add on a pillion seat.


To keep with the chopper/bobber look I've removed all the turn signals, but the wiring is still in place if you want to add it back. I purposely didn't do anything pretty with the wiring in case either I sold the bike or was made to put signals back on.


The bike runs great, has never left me stranded or caused mechanical concern, and is a very comfy ride for as flashy as it is - thing is a work horse. I've done a number long trips on this bike and the apes are surprisingly comfortable. I purposely didn't fully chop the rear because I would have meant turning this into a rigid bike, thus removing the "comfort" part of the bike. Also means you couldn't add a pillion seat for a passenger, if you were so inclined to bring the other half with. Are there faster bikes out there? Of course. While it's certainly not a Ducati it will still haul butt for a big 1100.


I am the second owner of the bike (I purchased in 2007) and it currently has ~ 32k miles on it. It has a clean title and has never been in an accident. I'm selling it because I haven't had a chance to ride it regularly in more than a year. I'd rather sell it to someone who appreciates it than have it continue to collect dust due to my busy schedule. I will also include my brain bucket helmet and put in a new battery to whomever decides to purchase the bike. Buyer responsible for shipping.

Yamalube Motor Oil Video is Educational, British, and Brainwashing

Tue, 16 Jun 2009

Yamaha Motor Europe have just posted a new video up on Youtube about their Yamalube motor oil and why you should use it on your Yamaha products.  They are pretty damn convincing or very good at brainwashing! The video is pretty educational, explaining how motorcycle engines and car engines are very different, what a motorcycle engine really needs, and why Yamalube is very well suited for the job. Various graphs, charts, shots of scientists making oil, and the accented British narrator have further convinced me that I need to get Yamalube and perhaps even be adding it into my morning bowl of cereal.
