I must say that the Yamaha V-Star is one of the best lineup by Yamaha and those who own it should be proud of that. A lot of my friends have V-Star and they spend of their time on the bike. They use to keep the latest Yamaha V-Star Classic Repairing and Servicing Manuals that help them in repairing and servicing with the help of diagrams.
