It's easy to take the tank off this model bike. Remove the seat, then you will see the two bolts that hold the rear of the tank. Turn the gas tank selector valve to "off" then remove the fuel line. When you start to lift the tank off the two front rubber tank locators you will see the wire bundle that comes back to the under-seat area from the speedometer. Disconnect it at the plug and the tank will lift off easily.
Remove the 10mm bolt from behing the rear seat. Then pull the rear seat it hooks to the front seat in the front. Remove the bracket there and pull the front.

CR9E Titamium Tip
To remove the front fender on a Yamaha V-Star 1100, start by securing the motorcycle on a stable surface and removing the front wheel for easier access. Unscrew the fender mounting bolts located on the underside of the fender, typically at the fork legs. Carefully detach any wiring or brake line brackets connected to the fender, then gently lift the fender off the motorcycle. Always consult your owner’s manual for specific details and torque specifications.
