Inspection
1. Clean and dry the hardware and the mounts on
the shock absorber.
2. Inspect the shock absorber (Figure 4) for dents,
damage or oil leaks.
3. Inspect the upper mount bushing (Figure 5) and
inspect the lower mount. Look for elongation,
cracks or other damage.
4. Inspect the spring for cracks or other signs of fa-
tigue.
5. Inspect the shock absorber for signs of a gas or
oil leak.
6. If any part of the shock absorber is worn or dam-
aged, replace the shock absorber. Replacement
parts are unavailable.
7. Replace the mounting hardware as necessary.
Shock Absorber Disposal
The gas must be released before a shock absorber
is discarded in the trash. Drill a 2-3 mm (0.08-0.12
in.) hole through the shock absorber at a point 15-20
mm (0.59-0.79 in.) from the upper end of the cylin-
der (the end with the preload adjuster).
SUSPENSION LINKAGE
Removal/Installation
The rear suspension linkage consists of a relay
arm and two connecting arms. Refer to Figure 1
when servicing the suspension linkage.

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:

- 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)
