Installed the fork extensions on my 07 VT600 and man does that thing have a mean lean at rest. Love the extensions but curious if anyone has any suggestions for extending the kickstand or purchased...

Thank you Smeltie for seeing this

Honestly, not too awful of a price in my honest opinion.From the picture it looks pretty clean, looks to have some pretty neat parts on it that would have cost the previous owner a decent penny.I d...

Hi I'm writing bc I have removed my air box. plugged all appropiate holes per the video cleaned and rebuilt the carb with the kit. started with 148 / 48 jets. Then went down and tried different com...

recently bought this 04 Honda shadow 600 for my first bike for $2000. Needs some work, new chain, carb clean, and a couple other stuff before I start riding. I feel like I overpaid. Thoughts?

Fixed! fucking retarded as hell down here. New spark plugs fixed it then dropped main down to 42

Hey @TJ  Thank you for the great response!Honestly my issues are not huge as the issues don't arise until I do rather long rides and even then I managed alright.I did look into getting somethi...

@TJ yup that's what it was. Wires are shot. Coils were good. Front cylinder right side plug cap was bad. Started to misfire and not burn fuel properly. Ordered a set of wires and plugs from the sho...

@John Deslatte sorry i dont have better news for ya man! no idea why they never made that part for sale! 

@triple1ranch99 you are very wlecome! 

@Jakob Paul sounds like you ran the bike too rich, and you fouled the plugs. this is why i recommend starting leaner when tuning. 👍

@Mason Chesnoski im leaning towards coils, wires, plugs. 

@Smeltie great post man, let me adress some of your statements and concerns.  you dont have to get forward controls, you can, as i do, lay my ankle on the pegs and just relax. it's how i do l...

@velojym Gosh yeah... true that.Most lower performance machines just tend to be smaller so for fitment I am almost "forced" onto larger bikes.My previous machine was a T509 speed triple which fit l...

I just signed up to learn about similar issues. I'm 6'4" and love a simple machine, but most of what are considered "Beginner" bikes tend to be a bit cramped for me. 

update - pulled plugs, actually started for a half second after they were pulled but they were pretty fouled and one had a weakish spark so gonna replace those today then see what happens.  

Ok thank you 

@Smeltie they seem so, were pretty flexible. the confusing part is after i rebuilt carb it literally ran and took it for a ride. its only after it died that it wont start again

Just making sure, are the carb boots still okay?
