What 2003 Yamaha XVS1100 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
While driving my motorcycle I suddenly noticed a high pitched whining noise during deceleration. I was close to home and the noise became louder. After further review, I have discovered that the mid drive shaft failed and the nut holding the u joint on had broken off. My motorcycle has 27000 miles on it. It turns out this failure is a common problem with the vstar 1100 shaft drives for many years.
