Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 2001 yamaha v-star 1100 motorcycle. this model of yamaha has a starter defect. the starter does not have a clutch and upon shutdown of the motor the starter kicks back and twists the starter backwards throwing it out of alignment and breaking the alignment tabs off. they have recently come out with a new starter with a clutch, but charge upwards of $300.00 for it. i feel this part is defective and should be recalled. many others have had this same problem also. *ph
