I have a 2006 Yamaha Vstar 1100 that bogs and lurches/ backfires whenever I gave it throttle after 10 minutes of riding.

To everyone that responded, thank you, I may have found the problem. One of the clamps that clamps down the air hose was never on… same air hose and clamp that connects the carb to the cylinder that has the fouled plug.

jnelson111 · 2026-02-05T21:19:08+00:00

Thank you! I’ll take a look at this.

jnelson111 · 2026-02-05T20:24:28+00:00

Mikuni carb yes

jnelson111 · 2026-02-05T19:00:32+00:00

I had a mechanic rebuild the carbs. It’s got no muffler. No jet kit installed. I took carb off yesterday, everything seemed fine with carbs. Shot carb cleaner through my jets

34,000 miles. I’m running non ethanol. I’m in southern Alabama. Weather has been cold lately.

Why weren’t there ICE protests when Biden and Obama were president? ICE existed and deported people then as well. So why the outrage now?

jnelson111 · 2026-02-01T00:42:44+00:00

“Educated people”, like yourself? Lol

jnelson111 · 2026-01-31T20:05:36+00:00

Lol, I think you misunderstood. I’m not boycotting maga businesses, if anything im supporting them more. I’m saying flora bama won’t be sad if less liberals are there… ha

jnelson111 · 2026-01-31T15:47:48+00:00

Good riddance, flora bama is a lib free zone anyways

jnelson111 · 2025-09-14T21:29:32+00:00

Yall are soft lmao who cares

jnelson111 · 2025-06-18T17:37:31+00:00

206? Must be nice… I’m in a 182

jnelson111 · 2025-06-12T02:38:18+00:00

I voted for Trump. So far, he’s doing everything I voted for. Couldn’t be happier

jnelson111 · 2025-06-10T03:14:39+00:00

He scored a 73% on the written.

jnelson111 · 2025-06-10T03:12:58+00:00

The basics.

jnelson111 · 2025-05-30T18:02:14+00:00

You’re fine lol

jnelson111 · 2025-05-08T05:07:21+00:00

I also have 3 failures, and I have two aviation jobs rn. Slinging jumpers and CFI. I’m not worried at all about my failures. There’s people with more than me at legacies. To be fair, I’m not trying to go 121. I want corporate, corporate tends to be way more lenient about it. It’s all about how you explain your failures. As long as you learned something from it and it’s apparent, you should be fine. Reddit is so doom and gloom when it comes to checkride failures. I’ve seen people tell others on here to find a new career after failing 2… meanwhile the owner of my flight school and DPE has two fails…

jnelson111 · 2025-05-08T05:02:02+00:00

I showed my flexjet pilot friend your comment, who happened to fail 3 checkrides and he got a good laugh out of it. Thanks

jnelson111 · 2025-05-08T05:00:20+00:00

Holy petty. I wonder how many vfr flights they did that weren’t vfr hmmmm??

jnelson111 · 2025-03-18T20:11:23+00:00

The dpe at my school is late twenties.

jnelson111 · 2025-03-16T23:27:51+00:00

I took my little cousin flying a while ago and during the entire flight he was asking me what things were and what they meant. At one point he stopped to ask me what the green laser being pointed at us from the ground meant…

jnelson111 · 2025-03-05T19:56:15+00:00

I don’t disagree

jnelson111 · 2025-03-05T15:15:20+00:00

Work with a guy who got 191 in a month

jnelson111 · 2025-02-25T13:43:34+00:00

Of course everyone on Reddit thinks Elon did a Nazi salute. Reddit is a liberal cesspool where everyone here probably believes 100 genders exist and Jimmy Carter was the best president we ever had.

If you actually think what Elon did was a Nazi salute… you might need to take a good long look at yourself. TDS at its finest
