No joke! First off let me say I know next to nothing about bikes but I know a little about car engines. I bought a 1985 VT700C this summer off of Craig's List. The only problem at the time was the battery and cosmetics. After riding it for a while(a couple weeks) I noticed I was having some small issues, the bike was losing a bit of power when at cruising speeds and the rear turn signals went out...

Well I did it I had a 82 CM250 Custom, I sold that and went across the street and bought my neighbors 85 VT700 Shadow. Now bare in mind it doesn't run right now, but I will have it running in no time. The fuel smells nasty(he put preservative in it, but I will be draining that and sorting that out. Then bleed the front brakes, and oil and coolant, and I'll be ready to give it a whirl. But ...

Since I've been an adult I never let my tank go empty on anything, same with my Honda Shadow. My buddy told me I should let it empty so I can use the reserve to not let the gas "go bad". Now I was thinking about this, when you fill up the cut off needs to be on so if you did use the reserve it will fill that up. So my question is, wouldn't the gas cycle through when you fill up since it has to go...

Hello, I am fixing up my dads old 1967 Honda CL160 Scrambler. I have it running but am experiencing a weird problem, hopefully you guys can give me some insight. I got it idle to idle nicely and run strong but when I give it some throttle it will rev up and stay reved up for several seconds (5-10) before slowly idling back down. This is unfortunate because when driving, if I let off ...

Hey I own a Honda Twinstar and love it so far. It's perfect for me starting out on and so far it's been pretty reliable. Anyways just wanted to see what you guys think about the Twinstars and any tips I should know about keeping it running well for as long as I can will be greatly appreciated. I'll post pics when I get my digital camera working...Thanks and I look forward to hearing your ...

Hi Honda guys, I currently own a Suzuki. Thing about a Honda VTX Is the 1300 considerably smaller than the 1800? I've sat on an 1800 and it just seems huge. I do a lot of in-town cruising. I'm concerned that the 1800, while a beautiful bike, may be a handful on city streets.

www.helminc.com is the one that actually publishes then for the mfg. http://www.helminc.com/helm/product2...R3G2TR7SAHE ED6 Your OEM Owners manual is about $16 plus shipping.

The only thing Ford ever made was the 65 Mustang. I think you know what I mean.The F-150 came close, but they didn't have to make it. Its just a box and a frame. Other companies, such as Honda, have made a wise variety of good products, and we like them all. Is there one that stuck out in your mind? What put Honda Motorcycles on the map, or what is the product they have that no one ...

so ive been reading through threads trying to chase down my symptoms. i was having issues with gettin my '75 cb360 to start. after going through fuel lines and unblocking the pet**#& it will start and even ride around the block. after a few minutes it loses power and dies. at this point i opened the gas cap, got it restarted, and limped home around the corner still with very little ...

I'm thinking about trading in the ninja for a Shadow 600. I know it won't have the power of the ninja 500 but that's ok for me. I've heard complaints of it only having 4 gears. What is the problem with having only 4 gears? I mainly just ride to work and school, store, erands etc. I have to say that I like the 750 Spirit also but I'm not sure of the size. The bigger bikes seem to intimidate me ...

So, as I mentioned in a previous thread, my bike was stolen over the weekend. It was my only mode of transportation, so no time for mourning -- need to get some new wheels soon because I'm already getting tired of carpooling. That said, a local dealership has a pretty decent deal on a 2002 Honda VT750 Shadow. I could almost completely buy it with the insurance payoff and just a smidge ...

While I was waiting for the local Honda dealer service department to replace my front tire on my Nighthawk... I perused the new bikes in the show room and found the Nighthawk 919. http://www.chicagocycle.com/shop/sho...d=16&Type=1 787 My questions is simple. Does anyone own this bike out there and how is it? The bike real feels perfect for me...although I didnt have a chance to ...
