@Box O’ Parts also im sorry it was a bad financial decision dude, but thanks for trusting in my parts ot help make that bike into something fun!! 

@Box O’ Parts did you check the battery under load? if its more than 3 years old or it drops below 12.5 volts under load you have a problem. you probbaly wired something wrong. this iw why wh...

@Tx_MattyLee because you removed the power source to the headlight. did you try using a voltmeter to see if the headlight is getting any power? or test the fuses so see if the headlight fuse is get...

@Christopher Zeek i dont use speedometers so i just remove the whole system. unfortunately there is no plug in replacement. There are a number of "universal" speedometers out there. you would ...

@Corey Wendling i see you discovered what causes issues in 98% of peoples installs... User Error LOL everyone wants to blame me saying their kit isnt working and it usually boils down to an imprope...

@Corey Wendling you have a vacuum leak. or your slides are stuck in the lifted position or the needle isnt in the needle jet. 

@PapiMono uh oh spaghetti-o!  im guessing you didnt pay attention when you took the carbs apart😐 The fuel line comes from the pump, T's and then goes to both carbs to feed the float bowls. 

@Matt Shutt you just leave the clutch cafety switch unplugged. dont connect it to anything. 

@John Condie you are too rich, this is not an air fuel mixture screw issue. You need to go leaner on your pilot and main jets. the higher altitude means less oxygen, thus less fuel is needed. 

@John Condie hey John! welcome to he forum and congratulations on the bike! (3 years ago LOl)  what have you tried as far as addressing the idle issue? 

@collinc49 i have heard many many many folks say they "cleaned the carbs" but at the end of the day they didnt do a thorough job or left components in the carb which were the problem. a rebuild is ...

Oh.  01 Honda shadow 600

Update: I found that it was the diaphragm an jet needle causing the problem. Im not sure if I messed something up when installing but it was causing too much fuel to go through. Make sure your diap...

@TJ so while I was looking at the carb closer I noticed one needle was thinner than the other so I swapped it with the same size needle, and one of the diaphragms is stiffer than the other side and...

Hello. I recently purchased an 83 vt750 shadow and would like to know which parts i can order for the bike? I wanted the carb rebuild/upgrade kit but it does not specify anything for my bike. TIA.&...

Just to get the basics out of the way.Did you adjust your idle speed when the engine was warm?Because idle cold tends to be higher and gradually settles when the engine is up to temperature.

Oh, I do have a wiring question: I was running the wires for the starter switch/kill switch/front brake light through my apes and though I can't seem to figure out what I did wrong, the bike is dea...

Sup from Tampa FL. I have a 2004 vt600 that I purchased in late August of 2025. Worst. Financial. Decision. Ever.  but it's heckin cool so we are gonna roll with it. P.O. Hardtailed the ...

@TJ  Thank you sir.  

I rode 30 minutes in freeway at 75mph and now my idling is off super low to the point to stop unless I open the throttle. Why? How I fix it?
