1988 Honda shadow pt1- How to get a motorcycle running again, carburetor cleaning, gas removal

[@nathanjoaquin3521]

Thank you for making videos on your Honda shadow really appreciate it i got a 87 that hasn’t ran since the 90s gonna need them all for future reference!🔥🔥🙌

[@hondagarage]

No problem, man just glad someone can enjoy them and learn something 👍

[@jimbarb2425]

Do you have a video of how to adjust the clutch or change the clutch? Thanks

[@hondagarage]

No, I don't, but is your bike a shadow? they are pretty much all the same, just different nut holding the clutch in, usually a special tool.

[@dosikstudios3178]

Where did you order the parts that broke for the carburetor??

[@hondagarage]

Off eBay or Amazon, you'll find more vintage motorcycle parts on eBay.

[@jordindearinger]

Dude i have watched so many useless fucking videos of people removing and cleaning their carbs and this video was by far the best. Thank you so much for posting this. You’re the reason i finally grew the courage to take mine apart today so thank you for that 🫡

[@hondagarage]

Lmao anytime, bro. Thanks for watching. If you need any help on anything, let me know, and I'll make a video.

Nice vids homie! Hey I haven’t drove my shadow in more than a year should I change the oil and filter, it doesn’t turn on but it was nothing wrong wit it I just didn’t have time to drive it , but it doesn’t start?

[@hondagarage]

If you haven't road it since the last oil change, you shouldn't have to. Just make sure before you turn it on, that the oil level is good

[@hondagarage]

I've road my vlx600 with oil that's probably been in the motor for years. I wouldn't suggest that, though. lol honda takes a lot to hurt them

[@michaelmullen6704]

Thank you for this video

[@erickmorwood305]

Nice bike what are you going to do with the saddle bags?

[@hondagarage]

@Erick Morwood not sure, might sell it if I don't end up using it.

[@hondagarage]

Thanks by the way.

[@erickmorwood305]

@@hondagarageyou're welcome I was just wondering if they fit other bikes or if other bags fit that bike I have a bike just like that one and would like to get some bags for it some day.

[@hondagarage]

@Erick Morwood yeah I think they are universal. It came with the bike, so I'm not too sure.

[@erickmorwood305]

@@hondagarage Cool I will have to look around, thank you for the info and the great video.

[@jimbarb2425]

where can a guy get parts for the 800?

[@hondagarage]

I would check EBay they have a lot of used motorcycle parts, mostly original parts or aftermarket ones.

[@adams13f]

Hey man is this shaft driven?

[@hondagarage]

Yes

[@stevenboone1922]

Forgot to remove the float seat bolt and clean i forgot to do this also when i did mine

[@hondagarage]

Yeah, when I first started cleaning carbs, I never cleaned the jets, and oh boy, what a headache, lol

[@adams13f]

Next time use a heat gun on those boots it will soften them up and if there not to old you can reuse.

[@hondagarage]

Nice, thanks for the tip. I'll try that next time 👍🤙🤙
