In the summer months the heat causes the bike to flood when the engine is hot and you leave the bike sitting in the sun for several minutes. I have not been able to find a mechanic or any one else who can nail down this problem. I ask everyone I see on an 1100 V Star, they all seem to have the same problem. The manufactor of the machine do not seem to want to check into this problem.
Other bike shops place blame on bad gas, which is bull, and no one wants to help.
