Hey guys,
I took my 96 vt1100c out for the first time today since buying it last week. I did not realize the bike was a 4 speed and not 5. price and size was important as I'm 6'0 230 and the shadow's seem to fit me well. I got a good deal on this bike also.
anyway's what gear are you guys using between 30-40MPH I find in 3rd the bike revs wants to go into 4th but then 4th sounds like the bike is dying and a loss of power if you need it. I keep switching between them both trying to decide which better for the bike and my safety.
I did not even consider finding out how many gears the bike had just assumed they all have 5. Why in the heck did Honda make such a powerful bike from the late 80's though 96(go figure I bought a 96) with only a speed.
Thanks
Evan
