Hey all, so previously I had what sounded like problems with the rectifier/stator then fuel pump (described in previous posts). After hours on the phone with multiple different motorcycle mechanics we came to the conclusion that the CDI box is no good. Was told that if I tried to start the bike...

Hey, Rookie rider here :) I'm picking up my bike on March 19th and the riding season won't stop until the 1st or 2nd week of April here. My plan is to replace all the liquids as soon as I get the bike. I will store the bike indoors and covered. My only concerns are the battery and tires. Do...

My 2013 Shadow will spend winter in the garage. It will get below zero in there. I want to take the battery into the basement. Simple question to those who know: Will anything happen to the ECU if it is without power for that long? 5ish months? Thank you and Best, Steve

I've been using a Delran battery tender for many years without any problems. Recently I've noticed that the light on the charger is alternating between red, flashing green and solid green. This has never happened before. Is the charger going bad or is it the battery?

2018 shadow aero 750. I just recently noticed that when I go to start the bike is lags on startup. It seems to run fine when it's started and moving, no power issues, however, when I go to start it up, it turns over but struggles, then resets my trip meter and clock. Once it's going it's fine...

Hi all, So over the winter I let my battery go low, its usually on a solar powered trickle charger but I moved house and was lazy and didn't set it up. Anyway went out to fire the bike up, the starter would turn sluggishly but the engine wouldn't fire. I bought an Oxford Optimiser as there is...

Plan A was to remove the seat. One of the screws is stripped so that’s a non-starter for now. Removed right side panel and am looking at what’s in the photo attached. Is there a place here to attach the positive clip, or am I out of luck? Thanks!

I recently put a new battery in my 02 vt1100. The positive end touched the frame and sparked, and now no lights, nothing. Checked all fuses and they all look good. Any thoughts???

Ok here is my dilemma. I bought this bike 2 years ago. When i first bought it ran great. Less than 5000 original miles. Drove about 1000 and rectifier blew all lights and the stator out if the bike. Was all replaced. 2 times by the Honda shop. Since then(last year) the kill switch went...

I have a 2005 Sabre VT1100. I put a new usb charger and 2 speaker sound system on it the other day but it is draining the battery. Is there a higher power battery I can get or is there just too much pull?

Intro : I recently (literally yesterday) got me a Honda Shadow. Bought it a while back, got insurance and waited till the weather became a bit finer to go and pick it up from the garage. Now, before I say anything else, the garage I bought it from did give me a year warranty on the bike, so I'll...
