Thanks for the video. Very detailed. One question though. When I change the spark plugs on my car, I was told I should disconnect the battery and also use anti-seize on the thread of the spark plug and electrical grease on the top of the spark plug. Is that not the same procedure for motorcycle spark plugs? Thanks again..
Hey Rocco, is there any spark plug that was specifically designed for the Shadow motorcycle? Any brand to stay away from? What about the "3 hole fluid change? I'm 58 years young and "drive like an old lady" slow as molasses down Mt. Everest in the middle of winter! What of the air filter? Doug🏍️👍😁🦅
Happy to help I would stay with the Honda stuff go to your dealer or online Amazon. There's only one hole for the oil on a spirit two on a VTX and three holes for a Harley Davidson. Watch the video. I explained it pretty carefully. Any questions just ask as for the spark plug NGKDPR8EA 9 gap it at 35. Stay with the stock air cleaner and you should be all right. Thank you for watching and all your support Doug. Ride safe and have a great day.
Hey Rocco, I've been having problems with my 2008 Shadow Spirit. She starts right up in Neutral, stays on in first gear (clutch in) but when I get it a little throttle it while letting go of the clutch gradually, it stutters and stalls. Do you think it might be the "kickstand sensor"?? Thank for your help in advance.
Fantastic instructions. I just picked up an 06 spirit 5200 miles for 1400 bucks. Runs like shit im guessing air/fuel mixture. Any tips would be appreciated.
Thank you! I have a 1998 Honda ACE and with age of bike I am having trouble finding vids for repairs on that age - are the spark plugs in same position? To be honest I have a great mechanic that does this for me but I want to get more into minor tune up stuff. Mine sat for a whole season and barely ridden last season - has been ridden hard in past 5 years (98,000) prior with regular oil changes. Wouldn't start last week (after sitting since last season, battery on trickle, new two years ago), replaced the battery and now it starts but stalls when we add gas - with and without choke but worse without - doesn't idle great but never really did. Had an issue two years ago where ridden 500 km on very hot day, idling at side of road and went to pull away and it DIED - had my mechanic check stator and solenoid and no issues - we jumped it but it was a scary ride home whenever we slowed for light I almost lost her and she finally died again 3 blocks from home - because we never found the issue I don't trust her anymore so have ridden her less and less. I feel like spark plugs done last year but will change air filter now (we took the filter off and it does same thing with NO filter - does that mean anything?) - sits in dusty garage without cover all winter. Are there major differences with that older style bike or is it safe to follow your tutorials for Spirit and Aero. Wanna upgrade to VTX now I've ridden my"starter bike" but want to pass on this bike rideable - maybe we should clean out carb? have never done that but will watch your tutorial - any other suggestions on my old girl?
Carburator needs to be cleaned. Take a look at this video.ua-cam.com/video/gscqmg8zhlc/v-deo.html. Thank you for your Sub Kim. Let us know how this works out. Ride Safe and have a great day.
I just changed mine plugs yesterday on 2009 Honda shadow 750 spirit. It didn't fix my problem, it sputtering and misfiring after I overfilled it with oil. Any advise would be very appreciated
Happy to help. I agree cleaning those carburetors on a spirit is a little difficult. I've done quite a few Siamese carburetors pain in the butt. but very doable. Thank you for all your support Hercules. Ride safe and have a great day.
They will last forever, myself 10,000 miles to switch them out at that service and then every 10,000 after. Spark plugs are made really well today. Unless you have a fuel, oil. or motor problem.Thank you for watching and all your support Jess. Ride safe and have a great day.

I got a question for you I got a 03 Spirit just like the one you're working on how do I go about changing the coil do I need to remove the tank if so how
Yes you do...same as Aero 750...ua-cam.com/video/SHrzZ0ZWMkA/v-deo.html Hope this helps...Coil is under the front of tank..Hope this helped. Let me know.
I would really appreciate it if you could help me out. I have an 05 shadow spirit 750 and I’ve noticed that in 5th gear when I’m on the throttle all the way it starts bogging down if let off the throttle some it runs fine. The bike came with Vance and Hines exhaust and was rejetted according to the previous owner. I messed around with the idle knob so idk if that’s whats causing the issue or is it that it might need a carb cleaning like I’ve seen in other videos.
Also I got the bike with baffles removed but the bike is loud af so I bought some v&h quiet baffles, hopefully that’s not causing any issues. I also just put regular gas in it, Previous owner said to run premium on it.
Run premium fuel. Those carburetor on Honda Spirits are difficult to work. Twin carb setup. If it idles and runs but top end is weak, That would suggest you need bigger main jets. What V&H exhaust are you running?
Hi im about to purchase a used 2003 shadow 750 for 2.3 grand with 23k miles on it. plenty of extras such as crash bars and long pipes. think its a good buy? it appears in good order and runs fine. starts easily.
Honda Shadow is a great motorcycle...I like the Honda Aero 750 or VTX 1300 They are shaft drive... No chain, one less think to service and Shaft drive are better rides. Where are you located..And how long have you been riding?Try to find a bike with lower miles better for resale...
Two Wheel Rocco Im in PR and ive never ridden a real bike appart from a dirt and a couple of scooters. personally ive researched chain vs shaft and prefer chain.

Happy to help. With the newer models, their fuel injected, so there is no idle screw. You'll need to get used to that system. Thank you for watching and all your support Candeekissez. Any questions just ask. Ride safe and have a great memorial day.
@@TwoWheelRocco Thank you. I just hope I can. Another question, is there a reserve tank on these, if so, where is the reserve tank switch? TYIA
@@Candeekissez Fuel injected, bikes, have no reserve like a carburator bikes. Ride safe and have a great day.
Hi, I have a 2012 Honda Shadow 750 but I wanna know where can I find the fuel filter! Can you please direct me about where it’s located? Thank you so much
How many miles on your Honda Spirit? What is it doing that you thinking fuel filter? I believe it's under your left side cover, pull it off and take a look and follow the fuel line.

Thanks for the video. Very detailed. One question though. When I change the spark plugs on my car, I was told I should disconnect the battery and also use anti-seize on the thread of the spark plug and electrical grease on the top of the spark plug. Is that not the same procedure for motorcycle spark plugs? Thanks again..
Gap plugs....Install.....And Ride....And yes you could do it that way...Ride Safe...
Hey Rocco, is there any spark plug that was specifically designed for the Shadow motorcycle? Any brand to stay away from? What about the "3 hole fluid change? I'm 58 years young and "drive like an old lady" slow as molasses down Mt. Everest in the middle of winter! What of the air filter? Doug🏍️👍😁🦅
Happy to help I would stay with the Honda stuff go to your dealer or online Amazon. There's only one hole for the oil on a spirit two on a VTX and three holes for a Harley Davidson. Watch the video. I explained it pretty carefully. Any questions just ask as for the spark plug NGKDPR8EA 9 gap it at 35. Stay with the stock air cleaner and you should be all right. Thank you for watching and all your support Doug. Ride safe and have a great day.
Hey Rocco, I've been having problems with my 2008 Shadow Spirit. She starts right up in Neutral, stays on in first gear (clutch in) but when I get it a little throttle it while letting go of the clutch gradually, it stutters and stalls. Do you think it might be the "kickstand sensor"?? Thank for your help in advance.
You find out what it was?
@@thecoachcasper139 I'm sure it needed new spark plus and spark plug wires, it's easy to work on the bikes
Sounds like carb tune up is needed
Mines does the same was it the spark plugs
Let me know if you have any question.
That accent though!! Long Island, NY? :))))
Very helpful 👍🏿
Fantastic instructions. I just picked up an 06 spirit 5200 miles for 1400 bucks. Runs like shit im guessing air/fuel mixture. Any tips would be appreciated.
Clean carburetor idle jet. Sounds like she was sitting a while.
Thank you! I have a 1998 Honda ACE and with age of bike I am having trouble finding vids for repairs on that age - are the spark plugs in same position? To be honest I have a great mechanic that does this for me but I want to get more into minor tune up stuff. Mine sat for a whole season and barely ridden last season - has been ridden hard in past 5 years (98,000) prior with regular oil changes. Wouldn't start last week (after sitting since last season, battery on trickle, new two years ago), replaced the battery and now it starts but stalls when we add gas - with and without choke but worse without - doesn't idle great but never really did. Had an issue two years ago where ridden 500 km on very hot day, idling at side of road and went to pull away and it DIED - had my mechanic check stator and solenoid and no issues - we jumped it but it was a scary ride home whenever we slowed for light I almost lost her and she finally died again 3 blocks from home - because we never found the issue I don't trust her anymore so have ridden her less and less. I feel like spark plugs done last year but will change air filter now (we took the filter off and it does same thing with NO filter - does that mean anything?) - sits in dusty garage without cover all winter. Are there major differences with that older style bike or is it safe to follow your tutorials for Spirit and Aero. Wanna upgrade to VTX now I've ridden my"starter bike" but want to pass on this bike rideable - maybe we should clean out carb? have never done that but will watch your tutorial - any other suggestions on my old girl?
Carburator needs to be cleaned. Take a look at this video.ua-cam.com/video/gscqmg8zhlc/v-deo.html. Thank you for your Sub Kim. Let us know how this works out. Ride Safe and have a great day.
Two Wheel Rocco thank you!!!
Any questions just ask.
I just changed mine plugs yesterday on 2009 Honda shadow 750 spirit. It didn't fix my problem, it sputtering and misfiring after I overfilled it with oil. Any advise would be very appreciated
How long has it been running bad? Ever since you did the oil change? Thank you for watching and your sub Mike. Ride safe and have a great day.
I have a 2009 Shadow Aero would it be much different process? I would like to do this myself too. 🏍 Thanks for your videos, ride safe.
All seems pretty easy except for removing, dissembling, and cleaning the carburetor. That's where I would run into trouble.
Happy to help. I agree cleaning those carburetors on a spirit is a little difficult. I've done quite a few Siamese carburetors pain in the butt. but very doable. Thank you for all your support Hercules. Ride safe and have a great day.
Nice video bro

2002 Honda Shadow spirit 750 engine binds turn by hand forward n back but bumps n stops?
Remove spark plugs and then turn motor over. Sound like gas pet cock failed. cylinder has fuel in it. Let us know how it works out.
@@TwoWheelRocco no that's not it,also no valve or timing chain issue,no starter or clutch drive issue
Whats left. Sounds like bad motor. How many miles?
@@TwoWheelRocco 9000 miles, was runin perfict
Hey Rocco what size was the hose you used to start spark plugs?
3/8 ID fuel hose to start plugs. Hope this helped.. Ride Safe
Yes thank you
3/8 fuel hose....Hope that helps..
Where could i pick one up?
Isn't it a really good thing to replace the spark plug wires as well?
How many miles on your Honda? If your Honda was store outside then yes.
in a honda shadow spirit 750 2006 the spark plugs need replacing every how much miles?
They will last forever, myself 10,000 miles to switch them out at that service and then every 10,000 after. Spark plugs are made really well today. Unless you have a fuel, oil. or motor problem.Thank you for watching and all your support Jess. Ride safe and have a great day.
@@TwoWheelRocco Thank you so much
My pleasure. The Honda 750 Spirit is a great motorcycle. Ride safe and have a great holiday.@@JASSEMABDULKADHIM
good video ! how often you wanna replace s plugs? my shadow has 5 k miles.
I clean and gap at 5000 and new plugs at 10,000...Thats what i like for my bikes...Hope this helps..

What oil should I use for a Honda Shadow Spirit 1100?
Take a look, www.jpcycles.com/2002-honda-shadow-spirit-vt1100c/engine-oil/10w-40. Hope this helps.
I noticed your bike has the same kind of whiny sound, is that a normal Honda sound ?? I'm kind of new to motorcycles and mine has that sound and I got concerned

I got a question for you I got a 03 Spirit just like the one you're working on how do I go about changing the coil do I need to remove the tank if so how
Yes you do...same as Aero 750...ua-cam.com/video/SHrzZ0ZWMkA/v-deo.html Hope this helps...Coil is under the front of tank..Hope this helped. Let me know.
53k miles garage kept should the wires be changed
Does she run good?
No valve adjustment?
No valve Adjustment. If it's not broke don't fix it.
I drop my 02 shadow and bike starts up great. When I put in gear it kills. Can you hell?
Kick stand safety sensor, Check if wire was pulled off. Let us know how this works out.
I would really appreciate it if you could help me out. I have an 05 shadow spirit 750 and I’ve noticed that in 5th gear when I’m on the throttle all the way it starts bogging down if let off the throttle some it runs fine. The bike came with Vance and Hines exhaust and was rejetted according to the previous owner. I messed around with the idle knob so idk if that’s whats causing the issue or is it that it might need a carb cleaning like I’ve seen in other videos.
Also I got the bike with baffles removed but the bike is loud af so I bought some v&h quiet baffles, hopefully that’s not causing any issues. I also just put regular gas in it, Previous owner said to run premium on it.
Run premium fuel. Those carburetor on Honda Spirits are difficult to work. Twin carb setup. If it idles and runs but top end is weak, That would suggest you need bigger main jets. What V&H exhaust are you running?
Thank you for getting back to me. I am running Vance & Hines straight shots originals
With my experience, They should be able to run on the stock jets if there is a baffles in your exhaust.
Hi im about to purchase a used 2003 shadow 750 for 2.3 grand with 23k miles on it. plenty of extras such as crash bars and long pipes. think its a good buy? it appears in good order and runs fine. starts easily.
no leaks etc...
Honda Shadow is a great motorcycle...I like the Honda Aero 750 or VTX 1300 They are shaft drive... No chain, one less think to service and Shaft drive are better rides. Where are you located..And how long have you been riding?Try to find a bike with lower miles better for resale...
Two Wheel Rocco Im in PR and ive never ridden a real bike appart from a dirt and a couple of scooters. personally ive researched chain vs shaft and prefer chain.
its an ace tho
Its a Honda...Then you will love a Honda Ace 750..It will be perfect for the island...They are great bikes..Good luck...Ride Safe...
what are the spark plug sizes
Happy to help.Spirit VT750 Motorcycle plugs NGK DPR8EA 9 Gap at 35. 13/16 spark plug socket. Thank you for watching and your sub. Ride safe and have a great day.

Thanks just what I was looking for.
No antisieze?
No antisieze. I have never used on plugs. messy stuff.

Spark plugs.air filter and oil+filter...Honda Shadow is a Great Motorcycle...Spirit or Aero? Good Luck and ride Safe.Hope this helped...Have a Great Day..
Two Wheel Rocco Spirit I'm sure, about how much does all that cost? And you too!
what year? How many miles? Is your Honda show signs that it is not running well?
Two Wheel Rocco I'd have to ask him again, he's had it for maybe a year or two. He originally bought it for himself, but his leg is messed up so it's hard for him to drive it. It looks pretty new, just a little dusty.
