Honda shadow aero 750 tips and advices?

I'm new into motorcycles, and i bought a 2009 Honda shadow aero 750, i wanted to know some tips and advises in maintenance and general walk around just to get me used to the bike

Just keep the oil changed. The best thing you can do imo, on any bike is get some spray detailer and go over the entire bike meticulously. Most things i find that are in need of attention i find while detailing my bikes. A service manual also will familiarize you with things and help you know there purpose and adjustment ect.

When I bought my Honda Magna 750, I took it apart down to the carburetors, traced lines, etc. I have since replaced seals in the carbs and done other things. The best thing to do is get a service manual and the MOM, of course. Youtube is a good resource as well.

  • Would a Honda Shadow Phantom 750 be a begginer motorcycle? OK. I'm 16 years old I've bought all the nessecary gear I got that idea of watching cyclecruza's squid videos and didn't want that to happen to me. Well because I shouldn't look up to my dad who rides a Harley 1200 who only wears a helment a t shirt and just jeans. I know not to go over the speed limit but all I need to know if thus good first bike.
  • What is the max speed in each gear for a 2009 Honda Shadow Spirit 750? I can't find any details, even from Honda, what the maximum speed in MPH is for each of the 5 gear ratios on my 750 Shadow. Also, what is the engine redline? No factory tach and no details on what the engine is capable of turning.
  • Is a honda shadow 750 too much bike for a beginner? I'm a pretty big guy, and they felt comfortable at the dealerships.dealerships. I'm seeing used ones selling for around 2500-3500 i great shape.3000 is about my budget, and I don't have unlimited money, I know people say to start on a 250 and sell it, but I don't really have the funds, and the 250s are about the same money as a shadow 750. I just wanna know if this bike would be an appropriate beginner
