2006 Yamaha v star 1100 starter is spinning but no engaging is that the starter or solenoid that is no good @
Most likely your starter "freewheel" / "sprag clutch" (like a 1 way bearing) is worn out. You'll need to remove the engine flywheel cover, the flywheel itself. The part is located behind. You will need to replace the 3x parts composing the bearing. Inner race, outer race and sparg clucth. Only replacing the sparg cluth might work, but not as long. Common causes for a worn out starter clutch is a weak battery. The engine sometimes kicks back, thus chewing the sprag clutch.

SOURCE: Change oil in 2004 Yamaha V Star 1100 Classic, procedure?
i think the oil filter is at the front behind a round finned cover, if you find the drain plug it should be right above it, it shoud tell you how much oil it takes right next to the filler
SOURCE: where is the oil filter on my yamaha V-star 1100
On the right side of the bike (right side when ou are sitting on it) just above the rear brake lever behind a small circular plate. remove the plate and the oil filter is inside (you will easily see it). Warning---on these bikes you have to drop the front exhaust header and right floor board in order to change the oil filter unless you install a after market oil filter relocation kit. If you plan on changing your own oil it is highly recommended to install this relocation kit.

i worked for a large yamaha dealer. yes, those bikes are very well known for the starter clutch going out. it's about $85 to $125 in parts and about 1 to 1.5 hours labor. also, an oil filter relocator kit will save you money on servicing or changing your own oil.

These parts are fairly reliable. Rather than buying new, you should be able to pick one up from a motorcycle breaker who will post it to you. I would expect to pay about £60-£100 tops in the UK (Depending on mileage). ANy Yamaha dealer will be happy to order you one new, but they are a hell of a price!
