Hey Rocco!
Just bought an ‘04 1300c, and need to go through all of the maintenance requirements, and after watching several “how-to” videos, I wanted to let you know that I just liked this video and subscribed to your channel.
It’s great how you explain the processes, have close-ups on the components, and don’t have all of the production theatrics and annoying soundtracks that some people feel are necessary.
I liked it when you said some people don’t realize that there are 2 plugs on both sides of this bike!
Cheers!
Fred

Well just got. This 2005 1300R been sitting for 9years miles 7496 I just changed oil. Air filter is like new but half to have chock on half way can't give it any throttle or barney bogges down.

If u was a chick then u get a 100 keep it up thanks again Ludington mi
Good luck with your new ride. VTX 1300 are great bikes. You need to clean the idle jet in the Carburator. Your choke is compensating for a clogged Idle jets and that's why it will run when your choke is halfway on. If you shut the choke off the bike will stall.. Thank you for watching and your sub. S F. I will send a video on how to clean the carburetor. Let us know how it works out. Any questions just ask. Ride safe and have a great day. ua-cam.com/video/CymFLDrKNoQ/v-deo.html.

That’s fun ain’t it! I love doing things to my motorcycles! How many miles did that cycle have! It sure had good sound! A friend of mine has a VTX 1800 and he put at least 4 different sets of pipes on it trying to get it to sound good but never could get it to sound worth a hoot but the 1300 sounds really good with those Vance and Hines but the cobra pipes sound better to me! Good job! 😎🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Sure is, Love working on my motorcycle.
The vtx1800 will never sound as good as the vtx1300.. totally differnt offset crank and firing order... gives the 1300 the classic harley offbeat thumper sound
Thanks bro

Hey Rocco - thanks for the video! What is the polish that you use? And would it help performance any to get the Iridium plugs or is that just throwing money away? Great tips but I miss the radio.
I missed the radio to. They strike my videos with music in the background copyright infringement. Here are the plugs I ues. www.ebay.com/itm/NGK-Standard-Spark-Plugs-DCPR6E-4-PACK-HONDA-FURY-INTERSTATE-1300-VTX1300R/223597011362?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2648. As for polish. ua-cam.com/video/tTnJZDnwJag/v-deo.html. And it will make your ride quicker...I Think.........At least it looks quicker..
From Kevin Hill any input on crankcase ventilation on the rear cylinder on a vtx1300 c
I would not touch the par valves that's what controls the ventilation. Thank you for watching and your sub Kevin. Ride safe and have a great day. Any questions just ask. Happy to help.
Owners manual says when installing new plugs to seat washer then loosen and reseat 1/4 turn after it seats. What’s your opinion on that? I did mine that way, seemed to seat better the second time but 1/4 turn seems tight in an aluminum head.
I try not to make it complicated. The manual wants you to bring your bike into the shop. Thats how they make there money or you trade your bike in. Whatever makes you comfortable, there's no wrong way to put a spark plug in. snuggled it up and call it a day. Thank you for watching and your sub Andrew. Ride safe and have a great day.
Rocco please advise; I’m doing something wrong, installed new NGK plugs, now having engine sputter and missing in lower gears. Checked the new plugs, they seemed to have dirtied up pretty quick, tightened them a little more, but still had the problem. I put the old plugs back in, bike ran well for 3-4 rides. But today same problem has popped back up. Missing/sputtering in lower gears, also engine sound and vibration is rougher than normal, and now feels like there is less power when accelerating during a longer ride today. What should my next step be?
Happy to help. Thank you for watching in your sub Andrew. Take a look at your vacuum line coming off your Petcock that's what controls gas flow. maybe you interrupted or loosened it. This Petcock on a Harley is the same set up as your Honda test your petcock. Take a look at this video. ua-cam.com/video/7Fo9Q93OJXI/v-deo.html. let us know how it works out. Ride safe and have a great day.
Would it be wise to blow out the plug recess with compressed air for sand removal before taking plugs out?
Thats your call. These plugs are covers. If it looks like a mass I would. Thank you for your Sub Jeff.. Ride Safe and have a great day.
Hi Sir ..... very nice content I have a question on something different hope you can answer... my wife has a 2018 Honda rebel 500 she dropped at stop sign and since there the bike has like a over rev onbthe motor real short 1st gear .... can feel the vibration from the over rev.... any idea what's can be the issue

easy freaking peasy. I had to remove the gas tank on my boulevard to change the plugs
Happy to help, Honda VTX #1. Thank you for watching and your sub Carter. . Ride Safe And have a great day.
How often should you have to change the plugs on one of these? Things I have 1 − 2009 VTX 1300. With about 5000 miles on it.
And mine doesn't run like yours does.
Happy to help. The plugs is probably a symptom of a problem. What is your bike doing. Usually plugs could stay in a bike. 10,000 miles minimal, What is your bike doing? Usually it would be the Petcock or the carburetor needs to be cleaned. I'll send you a video on cleaning the carburetor and testing the Petcock and that's where I would start. Thank you for watching and all your support Tim. Ride safe and have a great day. VTX are great motorcycles.

What happens if you accidentally rip the wire out of the boot? I did so and twisted it back in the boot and it seems to work fine, but haven’t tested it over many many miles. Any thoughts on if this will turn out to be bad news?
Happy to help. There is no problem, the way you reinstalled that wire. Any questions just ask. Thank you for watching and your support Alexander. Ride safe and have a great day. VTX is a great bikes.
What type of spray did you put on the chrome cover?
Happy to help. That's just a Harley Davison detail sprayer. I hope that helps. It's great stuff. Thank you for watching and your sub. Jerome Ride safe and have a great day.
And what's the name of the covers that's covering the spark plugs I need four of them also placer and the side covers that says Honda I need some of them too mine's plastic I need the ones like you got
Happy to help. They are dealer items. But you could use bike bandit motorcycle parts. They will have all your needs just put the information in. www.bikebandit.com. So how it works out. And I hope this helps.

I pulled the wire out of the spark plugs boot. What do I do now?
Cut 1/4 inch off the end of the wire. And reapply the boot. It will be just as good as now. Thank you for watching and your sub Steven. Ride safe and have a great day.
Where do you get that tool to measure the spark plug?

Gonna try to tackle this on my own. Where did you get the plugs?
Happy to help. AutoZone look in the description of the video and you'll find the NGK plugs numbers Thank you for watching and your sub Michele. Ride safe and have a great day.
I broke one of the cables when I was pulling. What I do now?
You are talking about one of your plug wires? If so just cut it clean take about a quarter inch off and replug it into the plug wire boot and you're good to go. Hope this helps.
Rocco, Have you had to change the air box? Mine was damaged when a prior owner took it to a shop and the broke the nut plate for the cover. He never fixed it now I have to. Any help?
Yes I have repaired the air box mounting nuts by resetting the nuts with JB Weld. Making sure they line up with your Allen head bolts on your face cover. Be careful that everything lines up when you set the glue up. JB Weld you will have drying time to line things up. Hope this helps thank you for watching and your sub John. Let us know how it works out. Ride safe and have a great day.
@@TwoWheelRocco Thanks brother, I bought a new airbox and downloaded a service manual. Was hoping to not remove seat and tank , but I guess I will need to anyway. Looks easy enough. Thanks for the quick reply and be blessed.
@@johnrice8313 Take a look at the beginning of this video, it lays out the seat and tank removal. ua-cam.com/video/CymFLDrKNoQ/v-deo.html. Hope this Helps. Ride Safe and have a great day.
@@TwoWheelRocco Hey brother, got that airbox changed out. The hardest part was reconnecting the air lines behind the box. They have small clamps and the area is tight. But all done. I appreciate this video because now that I have changed the final drive fluid and air box and cleaner, now it is time for spark plugs. Thanks for the videos.
