There are lots of features that I am working on that will be restricted to registered users. Pease share your experiences with Yamaha's new motorcycle, the V-Star 1300 and the 1300 Tourer.
Over the past year, our site has steadily grown and membership now is over 500 worldwide. The 1300 Tourer and the 1300 is now in it's second year, and it appears to be doing well! I started this website with the intention of it being the premier website for information regarding Yamaha's new addition to their line, the V-Star 1300 Tourer.
Last year I took a 3500 mile round trip to the Grand Canyon on the 1300 Tourer. This was a huge improvement over my trip to Yellowstone on my old 650 V-Star Custom! I needed the ability to climb mountain roads with all of my gear attached. I think Yamaha's new 1300 Tourer is perfect... not to mention the huge hard saddlebags that are big enough to hold all of my camping equipment.
Please join our family... create your account, and introduce yourself in the forums. Stick with us, we will continue to grow as the the V-Star 1300 grows in popularity!

Here is a web site that has the full service manuals for most V Star models including the 1300, I also downloaded one for my wifes 650 Classic. It look`s like it has engine removal and the hole shot though I don`t think I would like to tackle that. It might come in handy sometime, while your there he also has other thing to look at to. http://www.paulmilner.com/yamaha/handbuch/handbuch.htm

Hi Everyone!
For those of you looking to replace your rear tire I may have a resouce for you. After reading some posts here, I thought it best to move to a radial on the rear. If you are in the market for a new tire on your Yamaha 1300, check www.derbycycles.com. I picked mine up there for $149.99... quick shipping too!
Happy riding!
