Any problems with honda shadow 600 motorcycles?
They are a great bike, very dependable, good gas mileage, etc.
however, you will probably "ourgrow" it fairly quickly. There are ALOT of used Shadows out there-people buy them, ride them for a year or so, then want to upgrade to a bigger, more comfortable bike piece of **** The ignition switches go bad.
The electrical contacts ware out.
The ignition switch is rebuildable, to replace the worn electrical contacts,
but the repair parts are no longer available.
The switch is no longer available either.
It's was such a common problem with the switches going bad, you can't even find a used one from a motorcycle salvage yard.
Other than that problem, the bike is as good as any model of that era.

- What is the difference between a 2003 honda shadow 600 and 650? What are the differences between a 2003 honda shadow 600 and 650, I can't find any info anywhere! Besides actually engine size what is different? Are the frames different? Are the internals to the engine different in the 650? Any light shed on this would be very helpful!
- Types of motorcycles like Suzuki Marauder / Honda Shadow / Sportster? I'm pretty much only familiar with sport bikes. I like the Marauder and Shadow and Sportster styles of bikes. Any other suggestions similar to them?
- I have a 1994 honda shadow vlx 600. I've been having charging issues? Could someone have put the positive and negative wires that connect to the battery on the wrong sides? All the batteries online look the same as this one and the cover on the bike only lets you slide it in one way (where the pos is on the right and the neg is on the left).
- How long will my Honda shadow 600 last? I just bought a 1995 Honda Shadow VLX 600. It has 24 thousand miles on it, got it for 1500$. It has no problems, no leaks, clean, no rust, been garage kept, regular oil changes, runs like a spanked monkey. Now i'm wondering if it will make 5000 more miles, or 30,000 more. What do bikes regularly make it to?
