There is a way you can get a K&N Filter for your 1300 My dad has got the 2008 Tourer, and one of the guys at the Yamaha dealer told us you can get a K&N by getting a hypercharger, the K&N fits in with the hypercharger as it replaces your air filter, and having a K&N plus a hypercharger, you'll have probably 5-10 overall horsepower added. That's a good jump since the bike comes stock with 76.8 horsepower and 82.3 pounds of torque, that's good for 712 pounds wet weight. Quick bikes. Nice too.

I have the same bike with cobra pipes. Sounds great but they do backfire when coasting some times. Previous owner installed them. Thanks for the video.

Good review

What di you wind up doing with your stock tool set since your power commander sits where that normally goes?

I'm looking for a rev counter for my v star, any recommendations?

Nice Job. :)

hey do u know if the steering wheel is changeable, and is the back side can low?

where did you get the grips? I did a quick google for hurricane grips and all the came up were scott mx grips..

mine is 2010 1300 with KN filter but was wondering about the hypercharger? what is that and how much? also when i search out vids i notice they are for every year but NEVER for 2010. any idea why ? bought mine new--never a problem with it. were there possibly very few of my year?? were few sold because of an issue maybe?? any opinions of spark plug change mileage or especially TYPE and brand of plug? some say NGK--next person says "NGK worst plug on planet"

hey i have the same model bike. i too have that whistling noise at 3:48 when idling on cold start up. Does anyone know what is causing that?

Purchased a 2012 model, haven't found a video on coolant service or flush. Any experience with that be appreciated. Nice bike!

I have 09 1300 vtwin but no fuel gauge. Does anyone know how to install one

How do you get the seat off

.. You got the power commander, no remaps needed as that is what the fuel controller is for. Just readjust it

Could you give more information (web link) on where to get the part to plug in the O2 sencor please? Thanks Wayne

I thought the Vance and Hines pipe look great and sound good

Can u show me how to change the coolant an chk it

Nice instruction on your bike, you speak of a website, can you send me the url so I can check it out?

Just wondering... I'd like to change ONLY my air filter on my 2014 1300 for a K&N filter. Will I have to also install a fuel module if that is the only modification I make?

vary good vido my qestion is why is my exhaust getting hot!

Did yamaha engineer this bike's engine with a spin on oil filter????? My star 1100 has an internal filter and the lower exhaust must be pulled to access the filter. Is the 950 and 1300 like this??? I hope not!

how bout a link to the o2 mod bud

@atvkid0805 look for kuryakyn

You say basically you have a "Power-commander", so I don't understand why you say basically. Either it is a Power-commander or it is not. Which is it? Also, what does "what not" mean. You say it sounds pretty good, but I think it sounds like a hardly davisin. Also, why are your handlebars so big? Where are your footpegs, all I see is those big flat things to rest your feet on. Do all americans do these terrible things to Japanese motorcycles?
