How To Honda Shadow Clutch Cable Repair.

Honda Shadow Clutch Cable Repair. This was done on a Honda VTX 1300. That had a stiff or hard to press your clutch handle. How to lubricate your motorcycle clutch cable. This will work on most motorcycle clutch cables. We cleaned and Oiled the old cable. Now this is as good as new. Tools needed 12mm and 14mm open end wrench. And some penetrating oil.

So IS a Shadow and a VTX the same bike? I thought the Shadow ended at the 1100 size. Just wondering.....

[@TwoWheelRocco]

You are right the shadow stopped at the 1100 size and then VTX took over. I just put shadow because the clutch install was the same for a shadow as it is a VTX, Thank you for watching Jared.

Happy to help. Remove all the play from the cable at the handlebars, lineup the cable with the slot on your adjuster and pull it out and your cable will be free. them with a screwdriver, remove the hardware and the handle is free.

Hey Buddy...i have a 2004 VTX1300S...i am having issues getting the bike into gear.......i start it in neutral and when i go to put it into gear it jumps as though the clutch isnt working...would what you did fix the issue...i have played with the adjustments at the lever and motor but to no avail. Should i lubricate the cable or puit a new one in...cheers

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Happy to help. It sounds like your clutch is not fully disengaged, I would adjust your clutch. How many miles? do you have any adjustment left at the motor. Let us know how this works out. Thank you for watching and your sub Darryl. Ride safe and have a great day.

[@cccsthis]

I have replaced my cable on my VT750 aero but I cannot remember the routing now new cable burnt from pipe and binding, when my next new cable comes in, where would you recommend I begin the installation? At motor then route it? Then at the bar? Its proving to me the importance of proper routing, but cant find anything on my year make model for routing the cable! Help! 06 shadow aero 750.

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Happy to help. This will be the same as your Aero 750. Start with the handlebars routed down on the left side and then to the lever on the top of the crank case. Place all the play into the cable to make it as long as possible. Then hook it into the lever on the motor pull back and install. Then adjust. Thank you for watching and your sub CC. Take a close look at the video. Let us know how it works out. Ride safe and have a great day. If your cable got burnt by your exhaust. It sounds like the cable you ordered is too long for your application. Make sure you have the right length cable. Look it up on bikebandit.com. Thank you for watching.

Take a look at this video I know it's a Harley but the principles are the same kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKu3qqKEa7ysqNE

[@chigginsammiches6661]

How do you know where to position the cable down by the motor? Is it by feel or the arm angle? I can’t seem to find the sweet spot for my shadow 750. Thanks!

[@TwoWheelRocco]

As long as you have an 8th inch of free play at the clutch handle that is it. Thank you for watching and your sub Brian. Ride Safe and have a great day.

[@chigginsammiches6661]

@@TwoWheelRocco Thanks for the reply. After watching the video again, I noticed how you found the adjustment at the crank case. Looks like you were gently pulling until the tension wouldn’t let you pull without using excessive force. (Does that sound about right?) Here is the spot on the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bl7Mo6WwlpprpM0

How can I tell if my clutch is slipping or needs to be replaced

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Happy to Help. You will have a slipping sensation that the RPMs are moving faster than your bike is accelerating. That would be an indication your friction plates are wearing down. Any questions just ask. Thank you for watching and your sub C more power. Ride safe and have a great day. Let us know how it works out I hope this helps.
