Is the V Star 1100 a street bike?
Highly recommend it. :thumbsup: These bikes have the same engine. The Virago was a regular street bike, great engine.

They should have just designed their own factory ORK and sold it on the bike.

Why is my throttle not working on my Yamaha V-Star?
Float level too low, air leak between the carbs and intake, primary jets still clogged, CV diaphragms leaking, any other path for air to exceed the fuel flow. wouldn’t reving up the engine with the choke affect how it runs if it was the carb?
