2006 Honda VLX600 Carburetor Removal 

This is one of THE BEST bikes to learn on. Not too much power, super simple, and most of it can be thrown away stock. Great video

I just bought a 2003 Shadow VLX 600 and your video is AWESOME!!! You're my new teacher.

Thank you for this video breakdown of how to remove the carburetor... I had my 2007 VT600CD sitting in the garage for 3 years without any fuel stabilizer. Last week tried to get it started and only ran on choke, died as soon as i gave it gas or pushed the choke in.... Your video was very helpful and probably the only one out there that shows the all the steps... One think I did differently was to remove the tank altogether. The 2 claps you have to loosen at the connection with the intake (at the back of the carb) are just a nightmare to unscrew. Also, one mistake I made and panicked after i put it back together, and it wouldn't start, was that i accidentally unscrewed the idle screw too much and that's what was causing it not to idle. But the job took me about 5 hours in total, considering this was my first time rebuilding a carb, I was very happy. Thanks for your help!

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. The only one on you tube! Appreciate the info.

Why are there no comments???,This video was extremely helpful. Thank you Racecraft . :)

I bought a 2003 VLX 600 in 2008. I removed the vacuum operated fuel valve and also bypassed the coolant lines that flowed through the intake manifold. I also removed the whole air intake filter system and replaced it with a pod filter. To also get improved performance, I got an extension for a stepped drill bit and ran it up through the mufflers and drilled the two end caps in each muffler out to 3/4". Last year, I removed the mechanical speedometer along with the lights in it and all three of the lights in the top fork mount. I made my own mounts and swapped out the stock tank for one off a 750 Aero and a tank mounted speedometer that I was able wire all the lights into the wiring on my bike. I now have an extra gallon of gasoline and can travel much longer than I could before. One other thing I have to say, is my Honda VLX 600 is probably the best bike I ever owned. I did make a video of what it looks like now. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EnSAgIv8u7U.html

Herzlichen Dank für dein Video, meine Shadow soll nach 10 Jahren wieder zu leben erwecken, dein Video hat mir sehr geholfen 👍

nice job..

what does that top hose laying on the carb go to

I wonder if the split above the plastic nut was causing vacuum issues?

It's a real pain in the arse to get those carbs out!

Just bought this same bike, same size and color just 2004, i need battery and carb cleaning. thanks bro.

What tools did you use to get to the carb rubber boot screws? I can’t get to them with the tank on

Is good just more detail on the Coolant lines with one goes where or it doesn’t matter?

Would it matter if I blocked off the coolant hoses instead? I live on a Mediterranean island so the climate is pretty mild all year round. Any advise will be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

I have the exact same bike. Trying to raise my idle and the carb end of the cable is just laying on the engine unattached. Where does it go?

How did you remove the clamp on the back of the carb?

7:09 for choke cable/idle

hoping this will translate to my 97 shadow 600 im doing the research to do it to mine n have no idea what im doing

Learn as you go.

What is the loose hose on top the carburetor

What saddle bags are those?

I’m trying to find out why my bike keeps catching fire

When i run mi 2004 shadow gasoline caming out of that hose

At 8:36 when you talk about the vacuum line . That was a recall from honda . Its called the VFP vacuum . It is the main reason the bike won't start . The VFP gets stuck ans it won't let fuel get to the carb . You have to bypass the VFP and plug where the line goes into the rear cylinder . Here is a video that shows the VFP .ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-glAgAl-xt-c.html and here is a link to the screw you need to plug the cyclinder hole . shoptjbc.com/collections/vt600-parts-collection/products/afp-vacuum-port-plug?_pos=3&_sid=633df4322&_ss=r Here is a video of removing the AFP and plugging the hole ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S0fYNWPkwp0.html

Fuck my ass this looks complicated there’s no fkn way I can do all this myself. PLEASE FUCKIN WORK SEAFOAM I have it in this exact motorcycle right now. Had it soaking for 2 days so far, and so far I can use less choke when it’s warmed up than I could two days ago but without choke it dies immediately. Think the fuckin pilot jet is clogged

Tried taking off my carb today using your video. Was absolutely worthless. You left soo much stuff out that I would be here for a month trying to list it all. Next time you make a video, please tell people how dificult it actually is instead of trying to make yourself look like a master mechanic.

Shaky camera...ow, my brain.
