There's just one small problem - Honda didn't launch the VT1100 Shadow, until 1985…

  • I have a 1994 honda vt1100 motorcycle possible coil problems? I was riding to work and it started sputtering. I stoped, and after a few minutes it did restart but ran very poor. Started it again and could take off both back sparkplug wires and it still ran poor. I could take off 1 of the 2 front wires and it died? I checked the resistance on both the high and low. The high was about 3.4 and i couldnt get anything from the low? So please any help would be appreciated.
  • I have a 1983 Honda shadow 500 and I have a couple options for a parts bike? So I was wondering what bikes would be best, obviously another 1983 Honda shadow 500 would be best but could I use a 750? Or another year?
  • Accidentally Took out the wrong engine cap in my Motorcycle while trying to drain the Engine Oil? My Motorcycle is a Honda XRM. I was trying to change engine oil but opened a different screw/cap just beside the engine oil drain.A 5 inch long spring and a rod with holes came out, i put it back the way i think it should be, then opened the Drain cap, drained the engine oil and filled it with new oil. But when i start the motorcycle it sounded like there's something loose moving inside the engine. What is the rod and spring that came out? Is it critical?
