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?
You hit on the key. If the bike has been maintained properly, they can get nearly automotive levels of miles before needing major service. My GSXR1000 was well maintained and not abused. It had nearly 40,000 miles on it when I sold it and it was still running perfectly and showed no signs that was going to change any time soon. It had for seals replaced, the clutch done a few times, and chains sprockets, brakes and tires that it consumed on a regular basis, but if you keep after those things, and make sure the rest of the routine work is done, you can count on years and years of reliable service.
- 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!
- 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).

- Honda shadow VLX 600 2007 with under 10000 miles:? Start in mourning sit for about 8 hours then no start. New battery start once run about 30 minutes sit about 1 hour no start again. Try jump nothing!
