That's interesting. I presumed all Gen 2s were Star bikes until around 2016 when Yammy killed that brand. Yeah, it really was neat finding those in the bottom of that basket. There were even a couple of letters from Star to the original owner thanking him for his order and updating its the...

Gorgeous machine. Love the CF "tins" GLWS!

I was surprised (and tickled) to discover these gems in a parts crate that came with my bike.

You go with rear sets?

Damn! Thems the shiniest scoops I ever seen!

The bike: '09 w/25k miles DD mod kit Rash retainer & bolts Nash flash Fresh clutch fluid Yamalube 10w40 dino oil The issue: Approx 70% of 2nd to 3rd gear shifts take 3-4 tries before clicking in. Seems slightly more likely during spirited acceleration but generally consistent across all speeds...

That would've been a sweet mod. You go back with a stock version?

GLWS, hope you get every cent of it!

Wow, nice find! Jacket was tagged "kerozen" - whatever that is. It definitely looks armored in the arms and shoulders in that pic. And that swingarm is trick af. Hell, whole bike is!

My thought too. There's also a sold one in the seller's profile emblazoned with "Yamaha" and a Vmax patch. My Marketplace feed is always full of ads for helmets, jackets, and gloves LOL.

Not mine but haven't seen one of these before. Never heard of the brand and it appears to be more on the side of fashion rather than function. Nevertheless, at $60, I'd buy it if I didn't already have a closet stuffed with riding gear...

Shut up! You did it? That looks friggin awesome! How do you rate night time visibility (minus the halos)?

In my case it was a preemptive strike. I wasn't detecting slippage yet but with the tune, pipes, and filter I anticipated it being inevitable. Judging from others' experience shared on the forum, the clutch is barely adequate for the bike in stock form but suffers with any hp/torque increases.

Not attempting to hijack, but... Just getting clicks after refueling last weekend. Got a jump via cables and took the old 230 cca Yuasa to Batteries Plus and it showed a full charge and 130 cca. I inquired about a lithium upgrade and after a few pecks on the computer, the associate said they...

What a cool little thumper. Congrats on a nice find! Unpopular sentiment but I've always thought drum brake tech is underappreciated.

Just FYI, you can tell the pump was done if you see a punch mark beside the VIN stamped in the neck.

I've heard the phrase "limited run" associated with the '09s too although I don't know exactly what it means. I'm not able to speak on an unflashed ECU's true performance because the bike had a very ratty Voodoo exhaust/mid-pipe when I got it. It was running like shit, smelled like a fuel...

Yeah, that'll fit any gen2

Welcome. Dig the striped rims. Wanting to do that to mine.

WTH is that from? Sweaty knees? Nice looking carbon airbox cover though!
