DOC Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I had a problem yesterday with My brother's 2004 Vstar 1100. No motion!! He would let out the clutch, the driveshaft would spin, but no wheel movement!! When we took it apart we found that the part they called "clutch hub" which has a gear in the middle of it that meshes with the rear differentil. He ordered the hub, my question is did another problem cause this to happen?? By changing this hub will he be fixing the problem or treating a symptom?? Like I said it's a 2004 but he rides allot, he has about 41000 miles on it!! Any input would be appreciated!! Thanx DOC
mil278 Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 hi there, this just happened on my xvs650. have ordered a new part. Did fitting a new hub fix the problem? cheers, Rob
Dufferz Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Sounds like your getting rid of the problem to me dude .. Probably whats making it too
carider Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 I also own a 2004 1100 V-Star. I have also replaced the hub clutch; once at 35k, 59k, 85k, and 100k. I currently have 123k and I'm still riding it. I do have a hud clutch at the ready for when the time comes. I have spoken to many dealerships and a couple of them have told me that this is common. One told me that it was increadibly rare and that it was probably defective (this dealer also sold snake oil and beany babies as investment opportunities). It's simply what happens when you ride alot. For those of you who are interested: starters last about 60k miles, exhaust pipes also about 60k, rear tires 9k - 11k, front tires 16k - 18k, breakes about 7k to 9k. Keep the rubber side down
