Question about the V Star

maineyak · 02-07-2010, 01:01 PM

On my 2009 V-Star 1100 it tends to stall alot at low speeds. I found this site: [Only registered can see links. ] and they have a clutch lever that I think might help the problem. Has anyone ever bought one of these, and if so, did it help?

Link doesn't work. BUT I fail to see how replacing a stock clutch lever with an aftermarket will help in the stalling department. Since it's an 09 it should still be under warranty so I'd say take it in to your local dealership and MAKE them take a look at it and figure it out.
Is it a problem that happens EVERYDAY or is it an intermittent problem?

By the way

I have a 09 VStar Classic and had the same problem took it to the dealer twice. I was told that it was normal. I changed to Royal Purple oil and it helped the problem a little. I was still not happy with the way it felt and the friction zone for the clutch still seemed short. I changed to the Clevver and WOW it makes a huge difference. The only time I have the problem now is driver error. It was well worth the money. Check ebay I bought mine for almost half what it is if you buy it from a retailer. JMO

Out of curiosity, the lever you bought was made by which company?

Kind of agree but then again you could just learn where the friction zone is and go from there. On my car, the stock clutch felt one way but then when I put in an aftermarket clutch the guy that put it on changed up the engage zone and I just got used to it.

well to change what he said into what you did, it would be putting a new clutch pedal on and having that diffrence. not changing the clutch. an A/M clutch is thick and stronger which means its easyer to drive with cause you can tell where the friction zone is
