On my 2007 vstar 1100 custom the recommended is 20/50 or 10/40. unless the weather is really hot, the service tech recommends 10/40. make sure it is for motorcycles with a wet clutch.
how do you check oil on Yamaha v star classic 1100
what is the proper amount of oil for a 1100v-star
use the Honda brand its by far the best and is specially formulated for Honda motorcycles.:)
About 3.5 to 3.7 quarts.
You need to drop the exhaust to reach the oil filter
yes, synthetic can go in anything I run REPSOL 20w-50 in my 2005 Vstar 1100
The proper oil level in a 2002 Yamaha s-star 1100 classic would be the level where on the stick it meets the right mark so that you dont under or over fill the tank.
Mobil 1 V-twin
No. You need a good 4-stroke oil. Your car oil would protect the engine, but it does not have the ingredients nessecary to protect the clutch and transmission.
i asked yesterday at the dealer, it holds 3.3 quarts.
According to the manufacturers, this bike will use a 10-40 W JASO-MA or MA2 oil.
3.1 US quarts, 3.3 quarts with a filter change.
