First motorcycle

2024 honda shadow aero with abs got really lucky it was a left over in a showroom with no miles and not even the battery wasn’t over put in either.

I do have a question where to get bag and sissy bar?

Need some help !

Just got this bike 1999 VT 600 and have been trying to get it running so far I have removed the carbs and cleaned them ( they were pretty corroded in the brass parts ) after attempting to start the AUto fuel petcock began leaking gas all over the bike so I deleted it and ran a line and filter direct to the carb , and plugged the vacuum line hole in the rear cylinder with a M5 screw 6mm long with a copper crush washer , it starts under full choke and idles I'm not sure but this seems like dangerously low idle to me ? It also dies as soon as you touch the throttle ? Idle screw set to 2.5 turns out further turns do nothing to increase idle speed please help !

Towing capacity

Hey ya’ll.

This winter, I’m building a yolk to mount to my 88 VT1100C that will allow for towing. The question I have is what’s the upper limit for weight that she can safely and effectively tow? What’s the absolute max she can pull? I can’t find anything in the FSM about towing, probably since Honda never thought that 38 years later, some redneck would want to tow a trailer with a Shadow.

Thanks!

Leak on the left.

Just noticed this leak below the ignition switch recently...seems like oil (not petrol)..Does anyone have any idea?

(Gg to wash the bike today 😅)

We are so back! 08 750

After almost 2 years without a bike due to major surgery. It feels great to be back on the bike.

Definitely interested in some performance / comfort upgrades . Any advice or tips?

I inherited my first bike, and I have a few questions.

Hey folks,

I lost my dad in August, and we just got his bike out of storage. I had a few questions if you could help me out. First, what model/generation is it? The fenders, tank and speedo, and handlebars are throwing me off.

Second, what am I missing underneath the seat besides the fairing? I see a buckle but nothing else. I was thinking battery, but all the teardown videos I watch show the battery on the other side.

Last, am I missing the air filter?

Thanks in advance, and I'm excited to join your community.

Just finished an almost 2 hour detail... Worth it!

Detailing a bike on a day off feels so relaxing
