Yamaha V-Star 1100Classic DRIVESHAFT FIX! HOW TO REPAIR BROKEN YAMAHA MOTORCYCLE DRIVESHAFT/MIDSHAFT

A quick how-to video about how to repair a broken Yamaha V-Star motorcycle driveshaft/midshaft doing the “wiki-fix” as people call it instead of replacing the shaft all together. Replacing the shaft entitles a minimum of a $600 shaft from Yamaha and up to 20+ hours in labor. This is a much easier way to fix it for a while. Many people have gone this route instead of replacing the shaft. This is not a certified Yamaha repair or recommended by Yamaha. Hopefully this video helps you and if you have any questions feel free to leave a comment! I read and respond to almost every comment.
