The back tire of my VT750 SHADOW ACE IS FLAT. and when I did the "soapy water" trick to find the leak I noticed bubbles coming from the spokes. What does THAT mean? A friend suggested the tire may be tubeless. And I've searched, & SEARCHED, asking if the "2002 VY750 SHADOW ACE 's tires were tubeless . N U T H I N ' Perhaps I didn't ask the right questions? I'm. trying to avoid the nightmare of pulling the rear tire. ( have you ever tried to use a bike jack with a rear flat?)

They are not tubeless srry to say .. good luck with it . To remove the rear tyre you need to drop the bottom of the right shock absorber .. no need to remove the exhaust.

That's normal the air will leak out of your tube and find its way out of the rim some how and will find its way out though the spoke holes it mean you have a hole in your tube

Do vt750 have bafflels in the fuel tank which makes it hard to fill

The last 1-2 litres take forever, there are mods on line to modify the tank but it is only a litre at the end that is the slow process.

No I don't think you can because of the liquid cooling the cylinder walls aren't that thick there some thing on you tube about it. Bore kits for honda shadow 750

What oil do I use on a 2001 shadow?

Hi, I have a 2006 VT750 Shadow Aero and i have No spark, I bought it as a Basket case and had to buy a new speedo as the old one was rusted out. I thought having no speedo may have been the problem as it has the HISS light on it. Anyhow It has No spark ( it turns over though). Can anyone Help me out here? Cheers

Wombat
Wombat  

Not sure. I am assuming the hiss is flashing (thats normal). If so, my logic says fuel. Fuses, Leads. Plugs. then its google time (or friendly mechanic). Given its turning over, that rules out most kill switch, ignition problems. Good luck.

What fuel is best in an 04 750 shadow?

98 octane

Ii have a 2004 Honda shadow it worked perfect last year but when i tried to start it

this year it will only run for a couple of seconds and shut off. what are some of the problems

that would cause it?

Barry

Wombat
Wombat  

Hi Barry, Not that i know of. Assuming it has oil. And fresh fuel, my guess would be electrical. If the battery is failing that could be the cause. You could try charging battery and leaving it on charge. If that works it would be the cause. Otherwise Sounds like you may need a professional to take a look.

Will
Will  

Could also be muck in the carburettor float bowl. I would empty it, then try to start, if it is the same, I would pull float bowl off carb and clean and reinstall and see if it works. Mine occasionally will start and I make it down driveway, then it stalls until I clean the float bowl. It is usually some water or muck in the bottom of bowl.

I have a 2016 Honda Shadow Aero VT750C/CS can Honda put a gas gauge on it?Does anyone out there no? Thanks-Werewolf-8/6/17

Lenny T
Lenny T  

Yo Werewolf, If you contact your Honda dealer, they will probably put a gauge on for you at a hefty price. You can ride without one. Just fill up your tank and press the trip meter to zero. Around 200 plus kilometres start looking for a petrol station, depending on your riding style. I made 290 kilometres between fills without any hassles.

If you're still keen on a gauge, there are heaps out there to buy and install yourself. Check out U Tube for instructions. Bike shops are also a good source.

I have had a number of bikes over the years, minus a fuel gauge, and it doesn't present any problems.

Hope this helped.

Regards Lenny T

Will
Will  

Lenny T has is it about right, I have not found a need about 200 before shifting to reserve. Only run out of fuel once when I forgot to change reserve back to regular.

Wombat
Wombat  

I run with the trip meter also. Typical 'safety' fill for me is at 180 to 190 (8.5 ltrs). I have pushed it out and have got to 240 and not needed reserve. My runs are city based, prob average about 70 kph.

I got a 01 shadow 750 ace I got a sputter in my bike and the front cylinder is fowling plugs I was in the middle of tearing the carbs off when I noticed a bolt was broke that holds the coil on to the front cylinder wonder if it wasn't getting good grounds and causing it not to work right?

Will
Will  

Possible, never hurts to drain the carbs. New bolt, put it back together and see how it goes.

I just bought a 2016 Honda Shadow VT750C/CS Shadow Aero on 6/20/17.Can anyone that has had one for awhile out there if they are good reliable motorcycles? Thank You-Ron Bishop

Will
Will  

One of the most reliable bikes I have owned. Mine just keeps on going, I have 2005 C4 and I use it for commuting, I get dirt/water in carb occasionally and have to drain float bowl. I am not sure about fuel injection on newer bikes.

Storky

I have changed my fuel filter for an older Holden clear sided filter so I can keep an I on the fuel I buy

Some servos have crap petrol an when you ask why they say not my petrol its up to you if you want to change your filter

If you look after the bike oil change every 5000 ks you should be able to get 150 000 ks easy even more just give it lots of oil changes

hi I have the 2001 blackwidow which I have converted to a chopper my brother has a 750 shadow now since his big 1100 crash by a p plater texting an too of my friends have now bought 750s so yes there

there if you look.

the reson we bought this model is it sits low and when you stop both your feet touch the ground my sister in law has been in touch with a boy in seaford Victoria

cose he has a shadow an wonts to sell it . she likes the shadow as it sits low and girls have trouble holding up biger bikes

so look around and you will find one if not look at Yamaha 650 its low seated also

all the best
