Honda Shadow vlx 600 carb removal and ultrasonic cleaning 

Excellent! Easy to follow - Videography super stable. Absolutely superb.

Would have been nice if you showed the actual removal like it says in the title

Nice vise!! Im gonna get that cleaner too! Ive got a 600VLX and plan to bob it...or...somethin'!! Great video Thanks!

i just picked one of these up this past summer. i wish you were local so i could get you to do this to my bike.

I just did the same thing to my 1985 shadow 700, learned as i went along , was running eratically with loads of backfires,- i put taking carbs off hoping it was something else but it ended up having to be done.Turned out the float levels were set wrong . Great video, good to see how someone else does it .

Great show Thanks

I love your channell name epic bike also :D

Man when I watched fuel going everywhere I seriously am reconsidering watching the rest of this.

Thanks for posting Dude, super helpful for a dude like me who didn’t even know what the carb looks like. What kind of ultrasonic cleaner do you use?

your NOT supposed to flip it over with gas in it or it gets inside and ruins the sensitive diaphragm, the diaphragm says not to be exposed to anything like gas, solvents, or carb cleaner or it voids the warranty and fucks up the diaphragm. Not a problem if you drain the carb properly before you start flipping it around and on its side, but now it's probably ruined. Ask any Certified Honda Mechanic if you think I'm incorrect. I'm not bashing just informing and it's the truth. It's made of very pressure-sensitive materials and degrades instantly on contact with solvents or any petroleum-based distillates, as in the gas in it which in normal operating position does not enter the diaphragm chamber or components. There is a reason for doing everything a certain way.

I wish to have a guy like you in my neighborhood.

I wanna buy one of those ultrasonic cleaners now. And some of those screwdrivers too

You pulled that carb off so quick I missed it all. But yeah, mine looks like that one with gunk under it so I got a rebuild kit. Just on my own to get the carb off. I think there is more to it that you showed which was the air filter and pop off a hose or two lol.

Those jis screwdrivers are a godsend

What fluid do you have in the ultrasonic cleaner? Is it just water as well??

thx , nice orwellian

What is this water you use for clean ? its tenner ?

Holy shit, the amount of gas that poured out over the entire motor when you removed the tank.

How did you remove the Electric Choke from the Carb Body? There’s a 10mm nut that backs off, but what about the cable part? I can’t get the electric choke off. :/

On that black cover there’s a hose attached to the back it looks like you pop off? It doesn’t look like part of the carb tho. What hose is that? I seem to have issues with mine shooting brownish fuel out of it

Which way did you turn to turn off fuel petcock?

Worked good even though, the parts you put into the cold simple green and then put right away into the warmed liquid inside the Ultrasonic Cleaner, probably didn't get heated up in time to be that effective. Might be better to put all the parts inside and heat up the containers and the fluid all at the same time?

Does anyone knows the fuel size on these honda vlx600? Thanks!

Thanks very good tuto...please what year is the shadow?

I have a very important question.My bike doesn’t want to turn in not sure what’s going on can you please help.I just bought a Honda shadow 600 1993.bought a new battery because the old was dead .tried to start but it only cranks but won’t start really want to get it up and running can you please help?been watching your videos and I know your the man to help me out

the chewed up screw .. drill a 4 mill hole into it .. take a 5 mill torx ofc a spare one .. unless u ofc have titanium ones like i do :D .. tab it in with a small hammer .. and voila jobs done .. now just turn it out

Like the detail and the camera shot, what year is this Shadow if you don’t mind me asking?

Hey man do you have to drain the carb when doing this before cleaning? Thanks

Was that gas pouring out when you removed the tank ? Pretty sure your supposed to clamp the hose before you do that shit

Do you adjust the jets? I have a 2006 honda shadow vt600 and I recently took the carb apart and put it back on and it starts right up! It's having issues though and I was told to loosen the main jet and the pilot jet. Should I try this?

Leave it to the old heads to teach the new guys like me how shits done😂

What carb kit Would you purchase for this carb? Diaphram and all

I have the same bike but it shuts off at the speed of 60-65 and takes a minute to turn back on what could cause this problem

I see a shadow vlx 600 for sale in my neighborhood its 2007 it has 1.2k miles and it says "Carb was rebuilt , new fuel lines " and they ask $3k idk should I take it or not .

i have an 03 vlx vt600cd and it wont it cranks like it wants to start but doesnt make its way there have a suggestion ?

Is your shop near San Diego?

Do u have a list of the tools needed for this?

Just a FYI Japanese motorcycle use JIS Screws not #2ph

Is that ultrasonic cleaner a 10L

What is the triangular chrome cap you start to remove at 3:36? My bike does not have one, its a 1998 honda shadow vt750 and I’m wondering if I should look into that?

Let just lets the plug fall out of the wall and scratch the tank , nicccee ! @14:20

They really over complicated the air intake system way to much plastic I'm going to change mine out to something simple

Why did a piece appear at 8:38? Super annoying that you cut it out of the video.

my seat needs an alan wrench. real annoying honestly.

mans didnt explain how t otake the actual carb off....
