Here's a doozy of a story. Found the bike on local facebook marketplace for $750. Seller said it was running 6 months ago or so then the clutch went out (Octoberish of 22). Sounded simple enough, talked him down to $650 when I went to pick it up and found that the rear tire was roasted. Once I...

Replaced the clutch plates in my 97 VT1100 ACE and one of the spring bolt heads broke off. Need suggestions on how to get it out without ruining anything else?

Hey everyone, so I’m trying to get my bike out on the road and was working fine last year. Now I’m trying to get it out but I can’t seem to get it out of neutral. As soon as I put into first gear the bike jerks up and stalls. I put new break fluid in the reservoir and seemed to loosen the clutch...

I have a 85 shdaow vt1100 bobber just been slowly putting together finally have it running with no leaks. The last issue i am having is the clutch builds pressure after i bleed it. Like so much pressure you cqnt even pull in the handle. It worked before until i changed the stator and gasket. I...

Hey all - I've noticed that when I turn my handlebars to the right, the clutch cable gets a little engaged. Must be kinked or pulling somewhere. So I took the side cover off and took a little video. I put it up on a shared link. Feel free to check it out. Wondering if the cable is too long or...

Sup. I was replacing front lights on my 06 vlx 600, so I had my steering covers off. After putting the covers back on (I did my best to route the cables in the steering covers the exact same way) I noticed that the clutch cable pulls a little bit when turning the handlebars back and forth...

Hey all. I know there have been a bunch of posts about changing a rear sprocket. I have an 06 600 vlx. I'm eventually going to change rear from 44 stock to 41. My question is...should I change clutch springs too? Have people who've done the sprocket change changed the clutch springs? Thanks

Recently noticed my 09 Shadow will downshift itself in traffic without me even touching the clutch or shifter lever! I noticed it a couple of weeks ago where it dropped from 3rd to 1st at 40 mph which was an unpleasant adrenaline rush... Then earlier this week it dropped from 2nd to 1st...

is there some kind of adaptor kit to change from hydrolic to manualclutch and if so whats it called ? please and thanks

Hi all, unless my vt1100t stator output terminals are too corroded to read right, I fried my stator last ride. Replaced the oil, left it low to add some gunk cleaner after the ride. Went for a jaunt that turned into a mile ride in 85-90 degree sun. Should not have left it low I know. didn’t...

Hi all, Rookie rider here :) My bike upshifts ok , it's hard hearing 4 to 5 click but it's there. For some reason my downshifting is off some times. Feels like it goes from 4 to 2. This can happen when slowing down or when coming to a complete stop. I'm trying to figure if it's me or the...

Hi all have an 84 vt750c (In Canada we had it for a year longer then everybody else. In terms of parts it's identical to an 83) I had it out for the first test ride of the summer last week and I couldn't get over 80 km an hour the engine would get louder but it just slipped and slipped and...

My gfs hands are too small to reach the levers easily. Is there any adjustable ones that I can put on that will work? Links to websites would be awesome. I have looked but they do not say for sure they will fit. I heated up the ones on her rebel 250 but that just caused a whole host of problems...

I'm in desperate need of help from someone who owns an 83 to 85 vt700 or vt750c. I have now tried multiple Master cylinders I've rebuilt the slave cylinder and I've got a brand new clutch in my bike and I still don't have a functional clutch. Before I replace the clutch I could ride the bike but...

Hey guys, new to the forum but not to bikes. I recently had to replace the starter clutch on my 99 vt1100c and upon reassembly I now have no clutch pressure or operation. The cable moves the lifter arm as it should. It feels like the clutch push rod is not engaging. I did have to remove...

New rider here. I had a post about my bike not starting in gear when the clutch is pulled in and the stand is not extended. Everyone has been super friendly and based on the comments received, it's mostly due to clutch switch malfunction. I don't feel comfortable riding the bike to the shop...

Hi All, you'll have to excuse my ignorance as most of my knowledge comes from working on cars and bikes are a whole new thing for me! I just picked up an 84 Honda Shadow VT750C and the previous owner basically gave it to me $500CAD as he couldn't get any electrical signs of life which as it...

For anyone looking, the Sydney City motorcycles website (Honda dealership in Sydney) has the most comprehensive data on all the parts for Honda motorcycles I've seen. I needed to replace my clutch kit on the 2009 Honda Shadow Spirit VT750C2B, but there were no parts in Australia matching that...

Hello all! Fairly new to the site. Picked up an 87 Vt700c to teach my girlfriend on a few weeks ago. She’s out ripping up the parking lots every weekend! Lol. She had recently asked me about getting some different clutch and brake levers that would be easier for her to reach. I’ve been searching...

Hey y'all new here can't seem to find any info on the Google. My 86 700 with 76k clutch started to slip a lil. Nothing crazy but I had got a new clutch kit knowing it was going to happen sooner or later. Installed the new friction disc and plates. Bought a hex nut replacement for the stupid...
