5. The ammeter should read less than 0.1 mA. If the
amperage is greater, there is a current draw on the
system that will discharge the battery.
Charging Voltage Test
1. Connect an engine tachometer to the spark plug
lead on the No. 1 (rear) cylinder.
2. Connect a 0-20 DC voltmeter to the battery ter-
minals as shown in Figure 3.
3. Start the engine and increase engine speed to ap-
proximately 5000 rpm. The measured voltage
should equal the charging voltage specified in Ta-
ble 1.
4. If the charging voltage is out of specification,
check the stator coil resistance as described in this
chapter.
STATOR
Resistance Test
Test the stator assembly at a minimum tempera-
ture of 20° C (68° F).
1. Remove the toolbox cover and the left side cover
as described in Chapter Fourteen.
2. Roll back the boot from the electrical cables.
3. Disconnect the three-pin stator connector (A,
Figure 4) from its mate on the wiring harness.
4. Measure the stator coil resistance.
NOTE
In each of the following tests, connect
the ohmmeter's positive lead to the
connector's center terminal (A, Fig-
ure 5) and the ohmmeter's negative
lead to the other terminal (B or C).
5. Measure the resistance between the center termi-
nal (A, Figure 5) and the left terminal (B) in the
stator side of the connector.
6. Measure the resistance between the center termi-
nal (A, Figure 5) and the right terminal (C) in the
stator side of the connector.
7. Replace the stator assembly if either resistance is
not within the range specified in Table 1.
8. Check the continuity between each terminal and
ground. There should be no continuity (infinite re-
sistance). Continuity between any stator wire and
ground indicates that either the stator or one of the

Do you have a question about the V star 1100 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
How can I download this manual in Polish?
Diagnostic port location for a 04 v-star 1100
Why is my starter clutch turning the wrong way
When I press my clutch in starterturns on but with my kill switch on. Why
The Yamaha V Star 1100 has an ignition circuit cut-off system integrated into the clutch lever holder. This system ensures that the starter motor will only engage if the clutch is pulled in, preventing accidental starts in gear. Additionally, the engine stop (kill) switch must be in the correct position to complete the ignition circuit. If the clutch is disengaged or the kill switch is off, the circuit remains open, preventing the starter from operating.

I need to see diagrams and directions on the wiring system from front to back for a 1100 hyú
The Yamaha V Star 1100 wiring diagrams and directions are available toward the back of the repair manual. The diagrams show wire routing and connections for systems such as:
- Headlight, tail light, high beam indicator, meter illumination
- Front turn signals and position lights
- Main switch, dimmer switch, and pass switch
- Brake light and switches
- Horn circuit
To rewire the motorcycle from front to back:
1. Check the manual for the full wiring diagram.
2. Use the diagram to identify wire colors and connection points.
3. Inspect and test continuity of:
- Headlight and socket
- Turn signal bulbs and sockets
- Brake light bulbs and switches
- Fuses (main, signal, and headlight)
- Connectors and switches (main, dimmer, pass)
4. Restore wires using proper tools to crimp and match colors based on the diagram.
The repair manual is the main source for accurate wire locations and functions.

I had my bike running no problem, once i turned it off and try to start it back up this is what happens. When i try to start my bike it just clicks. battery is good, fuses are good!
