Honda VTX 1800 Issue

[@tomvalk4613]

Thanks, Mate. Had the same issue today. 1.5 hour trip took 2.5 as I trailed along the shoulder of the road. I was thinking the same thing on issues. But I'll be looking at the fuel tubes. Thanks again.

[@kilpel2]

My vtx 1800 did the same thing today. Acted the same way. Thanks for the video. I will clean that breather out 👍 Awesome bike, love mine.

[@StevenJeNova]

Alright. Good to know. Bought a 2006 VTX 1800 in May, this year. Bike of my dreams, really. I got the V & H pipes, the Kuryakyn Hypercharger, but that's about it, for now. Done a trip round Europe this summer, not a problem at all. This bike is a stunner. I've never had a bike where so many people just stop what they're doing and just... stare. =) Although it's a Honda, I know that proper maintenance & service is the key to reliability. At least in my experience, but I've only had Yamaha's before. Pretty reliable bikes, them too.

[@glennosgarage1307]

Staffan den Bättre .... put a power commander on and dyno it... makes a difference... yep super reliable and a head turner... i know of a VTX with 180000kms on it and still goes like new... enjoy your torque monster...

[@StevenJeNova]

180000?! ...I... don't even... I mean, the last 8 years I've driven... what... 70000 km? Yes, Power Commander is the next thing. Better air-fuel mixture etc. Heard some nice things about a Mustang seat, also. But sweet jaysus those saddle bags are so expensive, if buying 'em new, but I got to have something for next summer. Thx for the reply. =)

How was the fuel economy on the long haul around Europe as a first hand owner of one of these ? ... I´m considering one after years on a GSX 1250 touring but only getting 10-13 km/liter (as stated on the VTX specs sheet) on a big cruiser is a little daunting especially as i want to use it for touring parts of Europe also ... I mean apart from gunning it everywhere is it possible to stretch it out by just cruising... ? obviously in top gear with relativity low rpm

[@StevenJeNova]

The VTX surprised me. It only took 0.58 liter gasoline per 10 km. That's fully loaded with bags. That's not shabby for an 1800. But that's riding cruising speed on the highway, 90 - 100 km/h (55 - 60 mph?).

[@StevenJeNova]

I'm guessing that with Power Command it'll take even less.

[@rayhopkins5246]

Without looking at the machine, you just know this is not a Harley because. "It's been idling 10 minutes" Harley would have overheated and probably locked up by then.

[@glennosgarage1307]

Ray Hopkins .... sorry for late reply... I honestly can't remember... I'd have to check the workshop manual... I sold the bike about 5 months ago...

[@gabbyhayes1568]

Oh bullshit. Quit exaggerating man.

[@motomark9736]

LOL

[@readyreckoner1592]

Dude that was funny.

[@readyreckoner1592]

All of my pals ride harleys and they keep trying to get me to buy one. It's like they respect my VTX but sorta hate it because it can smoke their bikes. They can't seem to like it or love it, but they respect it. One of those things I guess, part of the deal. I love my VTX 1800! Dead stock and it's a MONSTER.

[@BadmunkyWRX]

What is that box with the chrome cover on the left side of the motor? I know the on on the right is the air intake but I have no Idea what the one on the left side is for?

[@user-yl8zx2fx8s]

It's the coolant filler bottle cover.

[@enlightenedidiot9552]

Take that cbr style sticker off the tank dude...

[@ut1004bp]

Nice looking machine. I would have been concerned about blowing debris into the tank with this process.

[@glennosgarage1307]

True... doesn't take much to block breather ... if it doesn't break down in fuel the filter will collect it.. the outlet opening to feed the fuel pump is huge compared to breather... I've never had a problem...

[@Giitzerland]

[@robcanaryondrums]

Seems to me you just blew whatever shit was blocking your breather back up into the tank? Hopefully it doesn't foul up your fuel filter or pump.

[@KLove89]

your dog was crapping in the background through the window lol

[@blumoneyjohnson5795]

Do u have a power commander on your bike ?

[@glennosgarage1307]

Yes.. had a few mods... She gone to another home...

[@tonydigiovanni9077]

Would a short 5'6" fella have a hard time reaching the gear selector and brake pedal. Thanks

[@glennosgarage1307]

No... my father was 5'7" and he use to ride it...

[@tonydigiovanni9077]

@@glennosgarage1307 Thanks. im looking to buy a vtx 1800 and was concerned. Nice video by the way.

[@calebowens998]

Mustang seat makes it 1 foot to the ground for me and I'm 5'7

[@motomark9736]

I'm 5'8" and my knees are bent feet flat on the ground I have mustang seat

[@Galanty]

I am 5' 4" great size bike. Plus if you change rear to progressive shocks can adjust lower. Model C" better than R or S for ground clearance. R and S have floor boards low, the C has pegs a bit higher

Hi Glenno. Thanks for this video.My Son's 2003 VTX 1800R has this problem.We tried to blow the fuel breather tube out with a air compressor, like you did, but its still plugged up.Crazy!!! Is there any way to get inside the tank, to try and unplug it from that end? AND,what kind of bike are you riding now?

[@glennosgarage1307]

The breather comes out at fuel cap.. get a piece of tie wire or something similar that bends maybe a long cable tie and push it through hose under tank and you will see it come out near fuel cap.. Still play with KLR.. but going to sell her soon.. ive been having fun on 625SMC and my old faithful YZ426...

[@Lonewolfmichigan]

@@glennosgarage1307 Okay.We'll try that.I'll post back with the results.Thanks again and glad your still riding.

[@shanehubbard649]

@@Lonewolfmichigan what were the results. Going to buy one Monday with 14k miles

[@Lonewolfmichigan]

@@shanehubbard649 We tried cleaning out the vent tube,bike still had issues with running correctly. Honda dealer couldn't figure out the issue either! My Son got mad and traded it for a nice.camper. I still have my 2007 1800T2 and no issues with mine . Good luck with your VTX

[@miekbell162]

thank you that was my exact problem

[@synapse3545]

I had the same issue you described however your suggestion did not resolve the issue. It was suggested that I try disconnecting the O2 sensor... I cannot find it for the life of me! Any thoughts on a physical location?

[@glennosgarage1307]

Usually O2 sensor is located on exhaust.... If u can't find it consult a manual.... I sold my VTX awhile ago...

[@strongtowertrucking8419]

Did you ever figure it out? Mines doing it too, I can shut the bike off as I’m riding, turn it back on and it clears up for about a minute. Just bought the bike ran great the first day now this! Love the bike tho, seems simple just looking to see if you got yours resolved?

[@synapse3545]

@@strongtowertrucking8419 Nope no idea. put in new fuel pump, there is no O2 sensor, replaced plugs, made sure no air hoses were blocked or clamped or anything. Tried a little seafoam in a fresh tank of gas, tried replacing the fuel pressure regulator (which is a pain in the ass) still same issue. Been at the shop for 3 weeks and they are swamped so thinking I won't get to ride for another week or 2 if they can even fix it

[@strongtowertrucking8419]

Synapse35 Man that’s a bummer. Hope it gets resolved! If you would keep me posted when you find out what it was! I’m gonna check the wires to the ECM today and I’ll let you know if I get mine figured out as well.

[@synapse3545]

@@strongtowertrucking8419 I will definitely let you know! I have a birthday ride by this weekend so hoping it is fixed by then.

A "Thumper" is a single cylinder motorcycle

[@glennosgarage1307]

Where I'm from a "thumper" refers to any bike that thumps..... an 1800 vtwin thumps.... So if you have anything useful to say..... that would be good....

I've got everything shown to me on here except for what I asked for. So I give you tube a thumbs down. I will go to another site and see if they have a clue as to what I'm asking.

Shut the fuck up. You annoying pricy fuck. Piece of shit. Figure it out yourself. Hes not posting vids for you!

The title of the video is Honda issue, and you clicked on it without saying anything so how is it his fault that you have a unanswered problem with your bike when you haven’t asked😂
