Love all the content and just recently started my project bike! I am interested in an in-depth video on chains and sprockets, and also on tires. Amazing work!
Do you happen to have a video of the removal of a carb from a vt600 shadow vlx? I don't want to mess anything up (previous owner has stripped the screw heads of the float bowl and I have to take the entire carb out to get to them)
Hi, thank you for your videos TJ. I have got the vt600 with dual carb, but one carb seems to be clogged, because de mixture screw shows no response and I have a lot of afterfire. I, and a motorcylce workshop, already cleaned the carb several times, but no improvement. Compression ok, new sparks and spark cables. Now I will buy a single carb (Honda Twister) and use a customized adapter.
If you havebt replaced your intake boots, do that first, your symptoms are very indicative of a lean condition so I'd look at the Intake boots, diaphragms, male sure all the vacuum ports are plugged that need to be. Watch my 4 part series on rebuilding a dual carb, the answer to your problems is careful diagnostics, not buying some terrible idea. Lol
@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS nice. Thank you for the information. Next WE I will clean and check the car for the last time. I will also check the small holes with a tiny wire. It must be clogged, checked diaphragm and the rest already. The butterfly valve it a little bit loose, but I think that is not the Problem. When I use choke.... No afterfire. So you are right that my bike is in lean condition.
@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS I also will check the intake boots. Brought new jets from a local manufacturer with good quality products. Already checked for false air intake. Brought a new spoil... No solve. Are the two carbs interchangeable? I need this bike without a lean working cylinder. It works, but with too much afterfire. Problem is that a new dual carb is to expensive.
@@Usmanthemecano I've never used kury grips. I've used biltwell, prism, and a few other just rubber grips. Those wierd grips with chrome as part of the piece are hit or miss.if you glue that big chrome n rubber grip to the sleeve, you're gonna have to cut the chrome part away to get the grip off. Scuffing the sleeve doesn't to anything for a properly fitting grip. Instead of glue, maybe try hairspray. When it's wet,it's slippery, and when it dries it's like glue but won't ruin your grips or bars.
Great video, And I love your beard getting longer :D. I wrote you an email about issues with Netherlands vt600c models and their power limitations. Maybe you can make a video on it.
I have 1997 Honda shadow 1100 replace coil packs, spark park, wires and spark plug now not getting spark plugs to the front right of the motor and it’s backfiring right at first start multiple times after idles when it’s warming up giving it gas it doesn’t backfire when I use the choke after it warms up and idles down it backfires multiple times then once to try to cut off, but if I put it back on choke it will run need help please
hey bro I just have a quick question? first of a lot of great videos I have learned a lot I just got my Honda Shadow this year and im a new rider so im just starting to learn what and what not to do lol, but my question is do I need to remove the entire carburetor if I only want to change the Velocity Stack Replacement Screens? if you have answered this question before im sorry again im just learning about this lol thank you for your time
A question that may be covered in Part 2: When reinstalling the main jet holder, should it screw all the way back in, or stop with a couple threads exposed? Mine does the latter and it's entirely possible it's not original, the dumbass that last owned it had a slow jet screwed into the idle mix hole 🤦♂️
@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS yep i bought a car and there was a gallon of oil in the boot for diesel and the car was petrol i said hay thats goin in the bike now😄
@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS so I don’t know D about F lol. I’m talking about the throttle body and fuel injectors. Could use a good how to replacing and or cleaning said areas.
@@Txj206ah! Well... I mean, it's efi, you don't really need to do much with it for a long time honestly. They don't function like a carb so it isn't going to need what a carb would. You could run sone injector cleaner through the tank, but an efi system that's a few years old doesn't really need a rebuild.
I'm glad I could provide congres with your mother at the right time. I assure you it was consensual. She took one look at my python boots and buck knife and said "saddle up pardner " 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey tj I need help my last carb was pouring gas out the breather vent about the choke so I bought a new carb and now my intake is filling with gas and it won’t run right
We are so sorry, but we just cannot help diagnose bikes via RU-vid! It usually ends up being an exercise in futility and frustration. Plus, you wouldn't want a stranger on the internet diagnosing your bike! One would really need the bike in person to properly diagnose, and we are not a service or repair shop. We recommend you check out our other RU-vid videos (there's a TON!) and the support page at shoptjbc.com If you are still not able to figure out the issue, we recommend you take it to a local shop! Wish you the best and do fun shit!
Guys, Ive found out about this channel last night and Ive already watched more than 10 of your videos. What you are doing is a blessing for anyone wanting to work on his Shadow! Writing from Bulgaria, willing to spend the insane shipping costs for your parts from the US just to support what you are doing! Usually I take photos when dissasembilng parts, this video is so detailed I dont need to. Camera focus could be better but its still clear enough (had to say it sorry). Also the small details you mention while working and the justification on why and how you are doing things is invaluable! Thanks!
