Add oil relocation kit to Yamaha V-Star 1100

@oldwatchman, Well I sort of agee with you except that the oil lines that the heads and cams are smaller than the lines for the oil filter relocation kit. If for some reason the oil lines to the filter are blocked, the oil does not get filtered, that's it. What would happen if we did not install the kit and did not install a filter, just replaced the cover. Would you have some excess pressure causing failure. No I don't think so. So now instead of the cover you have a divertor. Same oil pressure

I love my relocation kit. I haven't had any problem. I didn't realize how hard changing the oil would be without it, or I would have found another bike. But, because I already purchased the bike- I added the relocation kit after the warranty was up. I don't buy into scare tactics easily and I haven't had any problems. The kit though, as most after market, doesn't stay nice and shiny. If you like another bike, and don't like the idea of dropping the exhaust every time, don't purchase this one.

oldwatchman commented on 06 Jan 2011

@burtonblunt92 The V-Star's oil system is under pressure, It has a pressure relief valve and a constant velocity oil pump. Also the oil goes to the cams right from the oil filter inside the engine. With the ORK it goes out to the external filter first under very small lines at high pressure. It's been studied and the only 2 V-Star engine failures I know of had an ORK on it. I have a V-Star 1100 classic, it's a great bike but everything about maintaining it is a PITA so what's a little more?

oldwatchman commented on 31 May 2011

@burtonblunt92 I'm not a dealer. I own a 1100 Silverado Classic that's loaded with Yamaha extras. Most dealers will gladly sell you one of these bogus oil leakers and then sell you a new engine. The 1/8" holes in the diverter plate equate to a nearly 400% reduction in cross sectional area over the main oil galleries that are by-passed by the relocation kit. You are much better served using the best synthetic oil and changing the stock filter and oil once a year, and removing the exhaust.

burtonblunt92 commented on 05 Jan 2011

The oil system on a v star is not under pressure so not all the oil goes through the filter. Only part of the oil is sent to the filter and the rest goes to the engine. I believe it is called a sampling system. So it does not matter how much is filtered, eventually all the oil will be filtered. As long as you use a good quality oil there should be no problem and it is going to save you a lot of time and money.

I've been wanting to get this item ever since I got new cobra pipes for my bike (cobra only took into effect that owners would be putting them on, not taking them off for oil changes). Anyhow I've seen this on cruiser customizing and didn't know if it would be worth it, but this video did a great job showing me how it will work! Thanks guys!

pmoncho99 commented on 08 Apr 2010

Good video. NOTE:-- If you are going to put in an ORK AND you have aftermarket pipes BEWARE of the the limited amount of space you may have to work with as my Cobra Pipes required me to lower the brake fluid reservoir creating issues with mounting the filter. I rigged it up but still need to find a permanent solution.

lronmann1 commented on 28 Jul 2011

Thanks again for an informative video. As a result of watching your video I have purchased a ORK and will install it myself in a few days. You guys gave me the know how and confidence to attempt it. Its times like this that people like you who take the time to create the video make it so worthwhile. [email protected]

burtonblunt92 commented on 05 Jan 2011

One thing I noticed is when you installed the divertor you should have passed it behind the frame before installing it. This way you don't stress the fittings or kink the lines when you install the filter holder in front of the starter. Also Baron sells a T.O.R.K. cover that just finishes the job really nice.

Laura Lynne Ellis commented on 03 Jul 2013

I agree. I, too, didn't realize the hassle it would be to change the oil before purchasing the bike. The relocation kit is a must but it doesn't stay looking so nice after a while. Not bad, but just not as pretty as the rest of the chrome. Similar to the spots on the handle bars that can't be reached easily.

Jake Paes commented on 25 Jan 2010

good job but, before you put the oil inverter on the bike screw the oil filter on and slide the inverter through the back side of cross bar and it will save you some time and it won't put any stress on the oil cables. make sure you put the crush washer back on so it don't leak.

Laura Lynne Ellis commented on 03 Jul 2013

Thanks. We are not mechanics at all and just wanted to film what we were doing to share. I always like to see the lay-man approach before doing something new. Not perfect but it worked for us and is still going great!

oldwatchman commented on 20 Nov 2010

These kits are as controversial as they are convenient. The inside diameter of the external oil hoses is 4 times smaller than the oil passages in the V-Star engine. Use at your own risk.

lronmann1 commented on 17 Jun 2011

Fantastic video. You enabled me to do my first oil change on my bike with confidence. I watched your video several times. Thanks for putting it on YouTube.

Michael Landry commented on 15 Aug 2015

My dealer said that oil relocation kits leak ;; I plan to do my 1100, do you know any buddy that had a problem and fixed it , thanks

Laura Lynne Ellis commented on 03 Jul 2013

You are welcome. We are amateurs and don't like paying for something we can do for ourselves. But, it worked and is still working! :)

burtonblunt92 commented on 05 Mar 2011

The only people that are upset and trying to scare people away from this are the dealers. Great video guys, very informative Thanks

fireflyvtxr commented on 21 Jan 2010

Thanks a million times over. I have just placed an order for a kit, for my wifes bike. I will install it next weekend.

dr4wd50 commented on 05 Dec 2011

Good information as I'm getting ready to install a kit this weekend, but the jerky camera work gave me a a headache.

Laura Lynne Ellis commented on 03 Jul 2013

Sorry about that. It was a while ago and I was looking for a way to share what we were attempting to do. Thanks!

Laura Lynne Ellis commented on 03 Jul 2013

We live in the south and are used to the heat. BUT, if we had a garage we would for sure have been inside! :)

Benefield Harcourt commented on 02 Apr 2015

Always use new rubbers. If it has been pinched or rolled overheated it compromises the the seal. 

Benefield Harcourt commented on 02 Apr 2015

Mine came with new rings incidently in the kit

Nice Bike. I just bought a used one off a friend tonight. It definitely does not have the same paint job, but hopefully I can soon fix that. Your bags, do they leak? My son bought a pair of leather bags, but every time it rained they got wet inside. I am looking for some for myself. As a woman, i always have stuff going with me somewhere. :)

Tito Sean commented on 07 Apr 2015

Congrats on the purchase Wendi, and yes the bags do get damp when it rains inside. Downside of leather bags.

Custom versions or going to have "cut" fenders and foot pegs. Classic versions are going to have swept fenders like the one in the video and floorboards instead of pegs. If you're going for a v-star try to get a 2000 or higher. I've had both a 2001 and 2004, both 1100 models. Shoot for an 1100. More passing power and a great sound after taking the stock vacuum cleaner exhaust off.

singedcarry commented on 26 Oct 2013

Watching all these videos... it's killing me. I need a bike badly... Had an 86 XV1000 for sale a couple towns over. Called the guy, and scheduled a meet up to buy it. When I got there he had already sold it. It was the only bike in my area in my price range. Need a bike...

Sandro Bonnici commented on 10 Jul 2013

Hi friend can you pls tell me the side white wall in cm because I am a bit confused which white wall I am buying for my xvs cos there are some different sizes and this one lookes perfect. Thanks

sydsmith commented on 25 Sep 2013

Good sound. Great whites!! Anybody like Vance and Hines? Just got my Classic 650, looking for good pipes. V and H has their Cruzer pipe, is Cobra better?

Fiaz Barkhar commented on 12 Jan 2013

Sweet bike. Im thinking of getting the v star custom, but what are the difference between that and the classic model? And what year is yours? Thanks.

Daniel Ontiveros commented on 08 May 2013

Take your seat off and tighten or loosen the piston. It looks like a car shock. Adjust to whatever height you want.

gaalford commented on 21 Feb 2013

pipes give it a real gunslinger look. I love it. its super clean too. cant wait to post a video of mine. good job.

Bernbo commented on 19 Jan 2012

Big difference man, sounds great, white walls look awesome too! Looks like you did the J slam also, nice job.

Theirishman96 commented on 14 Apr 2015

Did you J-slam the rear fender? I'm trying to figure out a way to bring mine down to flow with the bike
