How To Diagnose Your Honda Shadow Issues A-Z - AND FIX THEM!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Bike's just not working? Time to get inside it and see what's going on.
The diagnostic tree is 1.) Fuel, 2.) Spark and 3.) Compression. Make sure all three are running properly--not blocked, clogged or broken. TJ advises starting with fuel and moving on from there. He gives a full breakdown of what to check and where in this video so WATCH NOW.

    So, happened upon your KZread because helping a guy who by the way, he’s the one with the shop, but whole mother convo….there. But have to say love how smart you are and straight forward about the bikes but seriously I hope you’re aware that I know you’re trying to dumb it down for folks to get and some do like myself that have had my hands on practically any motor out there including the kind that fly but I laugh cause you started to lose my friends with half the things you said. It was adorable. You’re great. Don’t ever change. You’ve helped me remember my hay day and no sir I am not that old it’s just a term I used ok but I like to remember and geek out. Disabled now and not able to play Motörhead anymore so have to live through small pleasures like your awesome vids. Thanks man. Keep it real. Stay blessed.

    Im like wtf is a blowboal(?) Im having to google every part. Ive been riding for 2 years. Figured out something with working on a mc and (not positive this has to do with it but 80%sure)being a female is that every guy knows whats wrong til its time to ACTUALLY touch the bike and fix. Most stop there but youve got a few thatll adjust something just to look like an alpha. Ive also learned if you want it done right, learn and dobit your ownself!!! Ive got 1 guy(james at cycle engineering, waterloo,sc) i trust to give me advice and put on my back tires, and myself are the only ones thatll touch my bike again. Having said that, ive done a few things, oil sp etc and fixed a few things all from youtube videos such as yours so thank you, i appreciate you and some of us would be F**KED without you.

    2000 Honda Shadow 1100 aero. Sputters then eventually dies usually after having to wait in traffic. Pulling choke down buys me some time to get a safe distance to pull out of traffic, but it still dies. Will restart and run after about 10 minutes of waiting. I've changed fuel filter, checked vent tube for restriction. And it was not restricted. Any idea? Also. After this the battery dies down to not being able to crank over and have to get jump start. Battery is new, water is good.

    @@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS It's getting fuel. I swapped the coils and the front cylinder is still the only one getting spark. I'm going to test the plug wires tomorrow for continuity but the chance of both of those going bad all of a sudden is rare. Does a CDI module just go out like that, all of a sudden? It was running great when I parked it a week ago. I tested the yellow/blue wire going to the coil for continuity and it's good. I just read where the black/white wire is 12 volt pos. and I was thinking that was ground so I'm going to check that tomorrow also. It started up today and only ran on one cylinder, then died, I tried to start it again and the 10 amp fuse for the starter was blown. I replaced the fuse and it started up but still only on one cylinder. I appreciate any help you can give. I was a honda mechanic about 40 years ago, back when they had points. I removed the fuel pump 10 years ago and it's ran fine up till now

Rear does warm up slightly over time but we can't figure out what to look at to fix it. Has spark, fuel, it runs but kinda choppy, backfires occasionally, and he said it kinda dies when he really tries to gas it. Should we be looking into compression or carbs or something else? Could this be an electrical problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. We've replaced coils, checked hoses for loose connections, and the basics spark fuel etc. I have a sportster so I'm out of my element trying to fix his bike.

    Solenoid, starter, coils, stator, regulator .....lots of things in the electrical system.........or very simply a wire grounding is loose (negative). Start with the easiest: Check all wire connections. I am not a mechanic, but a similar thing happened to me and it turned out to just be that the negative wire to the battery had come loose. Don't just look at the connections, tug on them a little and use a wrench to tighten the battery wires. I remember in a small engine repair class that the instructor said just using a screwdriver to tighten the terminal connections on batteries isn't enough. ...use an appropriate wrench/socket. My bike was like an on and off again situation that was driving me nuts, until he told me to check the negative connection on the battery. ..... If that negative isn't good, you'll go through batteries because they can't recharge while riding.

    I have a 2000 1100 Shadow Saber just replaced the fuel lines , filter and pump . The bike runs on starting fluid for a few seconds. It is missing some hoses up by the top of the head and the carb area. I’m thinking lack of compression from missing hoses and parts they go to may be the culprit. What are your thoughts?

    We got sold a bunch of lies by the motorcycle dealers who told us the Shadows were rock solid bikes that would last forever. Motorcycles aren't new, they've been around for 100 years, by now they should be rock solid reliable. There should be no Honda Shadow problems A to Z.... at least you shouldn't have to look it up until you've had the bike 20 years... not 2.

    Calm down. please. The problems come from misuse and neglect. They ARE rock solid bikes, if they aren't owned by a dipshit or fucked up by neglect. No one sold you lies, and even new shit breaks, so maybe temper those expectations with reality. Any production item has potential to fail, and you can either let it get under your skin, or attempt to fix it, or, get something else. But seriously, nothing made by humans is gonna last forever. I find that to be a comforting thought.

My 1980's Hondas never had all these different kinds of problems. There was no bloody vacuum line to the fuel petcock, no water cooled radiator system with a thermo sensor to break and a fan not to run, no carbs buried deep in the bike you couldn't get to, no LCD screens to burn out in the sun, no computer wires to get frayed every time you lifted up the computer to put a battery in and out, no kickstand safety switch to kill your bike from running as soon as you put it in gear.
