2003 Honda 750 Shadow Spirit carb cleaning, vacuum piston replace and synchronize. 

Appreciate the video review man... My step dad had a 2003 750 purple Honda shadow spirit when I was a teenager that I used to polish for him and learn how to ride cause I wanted to be apart of the club he was in called brothers of the wheel so h basically had me probate but learn about a motorcycle... He passed away on his Harley 1400 in 2015 sadly by heart attack.. he traded off the 750 after I got out of highschool for the Harley... We had it restored and gave it to my cousin who retired from the Marines after 20 years... Later my step dad's brother found the guy he traded the 750 to for the Harley and told me he had bought the old 750 back... I was happy but upset cause I wanted that bike so bad as it was sentimental to me with all the memories I had as a kid with my stepdad teaching me how to ride and work on my own stuff. My step uncle said "Im a trading kinda man you know this" I replied yes sir, he then said to me I'll make ya a deal. You give your cousin 500 to fix that 1976 triumph and I'll hand you the title... Bet your ass I made that deal... Now I'm currently figuring out if it's the carbs or a weak fuel pump... If I force feed it direct into the carbs... It fires up but the fuel pump barely sucks fuel to get to the carbs... Or it may be clogged. But after watching this video it made me understand a bit more of what my issues may be and how syncing works rather than fork out 900 bucks to have someone do it is rather keep those memories fresh and do it myself like my stepdad would expect me to. So again thank you for helping me better understand what may be the issues. I think I'll be riding across the u.s. soon enough, to carry my stepdad spirit and little brothers ashes on a trip we were all supposed to take out west.

Thank you for the un depth look at what you should watch out for and what could possibly be wrong. This is awesome. Thank you!

Bought a shadow as my first bike. No start so trying a new battery first and then carb rebuild and clean. Thank you for documenting this

Excellent video sir. Technically informative without being overly technical. You made the information easy to absorb, and digest. And you kept out all the "down" time. Again, well done, and thank you. Keep it up.

Good video on a nice bike. Honda makes good stuff. Thanks for explaning Syro Procedure never have done that. Stay safe have a great day.

Nicely done. Beautiful bike!

Always loved that bike. can't go wrong with Honda! Hope you're doing well!

Good video got the same bike need my carbs done

Very well done sir!

Great informative video, thank you.

Thank you for your help figuring out what was wrong with my bike. It was that vacuum piston

Sweet vid, thank you

Great video

My brother from the great north! Haha thanks for the vid

Great video on doing right by an underappreacted bike. If viewers find they have carb issues, you can get most carb parts for VT750s from TJ Brutal customs without buying what you don't need. He's not cheap either, but you can trust his parts. Chinese parts for these bike's carbs are also available, but buyer beware on that stuff. Also, if you're going to pull the carbs out anyway, you might as well get a basic rebuild kit with a fresh float bowl gasket, and new float needle. Takes just a couple minutes, and TJ has a video on his channel on how to do everything.

Great video 👍 got a like and a sub from me for sure Have the same bike, Vt750DC, 2005, with only 12k on the odo. Let the bike sit for 6month with ethanol fuel in it. When I tried to fire it up gas dripped out the carb overflow vents. Looks like the float needle stuck so I tapped on the float bowl with a screwdriver handle and it stopped. After that, it started but ran like it was fuel starved. Looks like its time to rebuild the carbs as I can only imagine the crap in them due to ethanol fuel. Never again with ethanol fuel. Non- ETN only. Thanks for making the video so I know what to do when I get the carbs off

Man!!!!!...thank you, thank you...I have an 2001 ACE750.

I had no idea what you were doing,,, lol . I have never worked on motorcycles. And that carb looked like nothing I've ever seen. Cool video though, you certainly know your way around motors of all kinds.

Great video buddy. Nice bike. Those are awful expensive ouch!!

13:53 that reaction was hilarious 😂

I subscribed too man

Bro....thanks for a great video..can you answer me a jet configuration you use to that hyper charger? Mi bike its a vt750..I put a hyper charger and headers...I use a lot of jet combinations..actually have 138 and 45 and the neadle on the 3rd grove...run well but the sparks are nasty very soon....what you think?

I'm looking at one just like it.. has a flame paint job on tank just like this . was this factory or done after ??

Having the same problem with my 02 honda shadow american classic edition deluxe 750 running lean bogging out and wont stay running

Thanks for the video! i received my vt750dc back from the workshop after synchronising and noticed that the choke of the rear cylinder was kind of stuck. idn if they sync with a little stucked choke but now - after fixing the choke, the bike accelerate like hell (which is fine) but in the idle is popping every few 1-3 seconds out of the rear exhaust. with richer mixture cause of the choke, it wasn't noticeable at first. the previous owner run the bike with too rich mixture for a few k miles (now it has 10k) to run it on lower idle. idn if the valve are off after running on too rich mixture for long time or the sync way of after fixing the choke. at first i thought about having false air because making the mixture richer on rear made it less popping. but then, after hitting the gas and rev a few times it was there back again. is it possible, that this popping is comming from disunited vacuum pistons too? i'm a bit confused, because it runs perfect like hell, just has the popping on idle and by reving too after again fast it kind of swallows. any ideas? ❤ i spend too much money on workshops and have the feeling, no workshop has the time or knowledge or motivation to help

Hello! How can gasoline get into the crankcase of the engine, that is, into the oil? (Shadow ACE vt750 1997) (RC44) Thank you

Would you rather work with carbs or fuel injectors?
