Can a 03’V-Star 1100 custom start right up?
Hello, I have an 03′ V-Star 1100 custom. The problem I am having is the bike will start right up and idle fine, but when I turn the throttle the bike dies. When i use the choke it doesn’t die i can ride it around with the choke out but no throttle. I have cleaned both carbs and checked the fuel pump all are good.

What kind of gas mileage does a 2003 Yamaha V-Star get?
General Comments: My 2003 V-Star handles quite well considering the weight and length. The factory drivers seat is relatively comfortable. I have absolutely no use for the “heel” shifter, and pretty much ignore it. Fuel mileage is great at around 53 mpg. Last tank full of gas lasted 254 kl (158 miles) before switching to reserve.
