01 Sabre did a compression test today. Got just under 130 on both cylinders. Wide open throttle, little bit of oil, warm engine. Is this normal? My understanding was it’s supposed to be around 160 but I may be wrong. Any tips / ideas? Seems to run okay. No issues starting, tops out a touch under...

Hi all. I have recently bought a 1999 vt1100c2 ACE with Jardine slip ons. If I want to use the bike everyday for work, I need to reduce the dB so the neighbours don't kick off at 4:30am. Moving isn't an option. I've been looking to replace them with stock mufflers but tricky to find second...

How's it going guys, so I inherited my dad's 1990 Honda Shadow Spirit VT1100c. A couple years ago I was trying to help him to get the bike running, but there was just so many issues with it.

I need to buy a new battery for my bike. Does it basically come down to the voltage? For instance: as long as it's a 12v 10ah battery, it doesn't matter the brand, etc.? Thanks in advance.

I have a 1988 Honda shadow vt1100 and I’m in need of a battery the last replaced T shaped battery is no good. It turns out they are much harder to find than I expected. Is there any other options for replacing this T shaped battery with a more traditional shape battery that could be much easier...

So I’m a new rider and bought the bike from someone second hand. It’s has been a great bike until now. Now I can’t get 1st or neutral and it will get stuck in 2nd gear. When stuck I found if you dump the clutch it will sometime let you go to 1st then have to shift up to 3rd without releasing the...

Hey all, new to the forum and to the world of Shadows, and I am having what seems to be a common issue, the dreaded no crank no start. I've spent the last several hours scouring the forums and service manual, as well as trying multiple "fixes" to no avail. So here I am creating another post on...

Hello all, So I have a 05' Honda Shadow Sabre VT1100C2 and I wanted to "modernize" the bike with a LED headlight (ZMoon in Amazon). I figured there will be some kind of universal brackets that can hold the light into place but after a ton of research, I am not seeing that option. I am not...

Hey, all. So I'm moving from my 09' Iron 883 onto a 96 1100 ACE and passing the 883 to my better half. I'm buying the bike from a family member on the wife's side who got it as a first bike but didn't exactly consult their spouse (unfortunate for them, fortunate for me) Unfortunately for me...

Howdy y'all I'm fairly new here. I ride a 95 vt1100, but between COVID lockdowns and some personal life stuff, didn't touch the bike for a long time. Before I left it sitting, the clutch had broken somehow, and of course after sitting, it doesn't want to run. So I figure as I take it apart and...
