Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 2001 yamaha v-star 1100 classic. my motorcycle is experiencing what appears to be a widespread problem with starters for this motorcycle model. since the motorcycle is out of warranty, yamaha will not correct the problem. judging from the number of people on the 1100 v-star 1100 forum, this is a very widespread problem that has yet to be addressed by yamaha. my motorcycle is displaying the same problems that indicate a faulty starter, i.e "twisted connector bolts". is there any way we can force yamaha to address this issue?
