Using a multimeter, set it on DC and put the red terminal to the positive side of the battery and the black terminal to the negative side of the battery. it should read 12.75 - 13.0 volts at idle.
Rev the motor to 2000/2500 RPM and the multimeter should read 13.75-14.8 volts.

If your not getting these reading then you need to replace your voltage regulator.

This test will take you approx 1 minute once you get to your battery.

Hi, There are two allen key screws that keep the pillion seat secured down. The riders seat then slides backwards to remove. Have a look inbetween the riders seat and pillion seat from either side of the bike. Prise the gap apart with your fingers and look inbetween. About an 30mm or so inside, you will see an allen key head screw. It is easier with a screw driver that takes an allen key drive as is very awkward to get a normal allen key down that deep. You will need to be in very good light or use a torch to look inbetween the seats as its very hard to spot. When you have removed the screws from both sides the pillion seat just lifts up and forward. The riders seat lift up and backward. Cheers

First thing is to prop the bike up on a motorcycle jack or some other jack-If yo have a a motorcycle jack that has eyelets on the frame strap the front end down, this will eliminate the steering to flop around while you are working on. If you still have your tool set their is a tool that you can use if not you would need to purchase a 17MM allen wrench (I think). First their is two capped allen screws that will need to be loosened (not so much taken off) with one of the supplied allen wrenches in your kit or a 5mm allen wrench should do the trick. The front axel just screws in to the other fork-after you start removing the axel take stock which spacer/speedo gear goes where. The speedo cable can be removed from the gear by removing the phillips head screw. The front tire and rotor should just slide down with out to much trouble.

clean fuel filter usualy fixes this.

Pressure abt 32-34psi when riding pillion increase by 2-3 psi

You need to clean the carb not adjust it.(unless you already have)The jet can become stoped with trash,or the float could be dealing with debris.remove the bowl clean the parts and try again to run it.Just putting cleaner in the fuel will not remove dirt, bugs, or other trash from inside carb.

Should be able to bore 50 to 60 thouthands without any trouble. Parts should be available thru Wiseco.

check battery for 12 volts with a multi meter,then loose battery connections

Fuses first, then make sure kill switch is not killing the spark even in run. also check side stand switch.

Before you spend any money on it make sure the motor will turn over. Take out the spark plugs, put the bike in gear and see if it will roll. If the motor is frozen it will have to be rebuilt and unless you can do that yourself it will cost you more than the bike is worth to have it done.

replace your air and fuel filters. Make sure your battery is fully charged. Buy a battery charger and hook it up. Change the spark plugs.

I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you're experiencing with your 2007 Honda Shadow VT600C. If you've already replaced the battery, spark plugs, coil pack, fuel filter, and performed maintenance tasks such as rebuilding the carburetor and checking the choke cable, there are a few more things you can try: 1. Fuel delivery: Check that the fuel pump is functioning properly and delivering fuel to the carburetor. Ensure that the fuel lines are clear and not clogged. 2. Ignition system: Verify that the ignition switch is in the "ON" position. Check the ignition fuse and wiring for any potential issues. Ensure that all connections are secure and clean. 3. Air intake and filter: Make sure the air filter is clean and not obstructed. Ensure that the velocity stack is installed correctly and not causing any air flow issues. 4. Compression test: Perform a compression test to check the engine's compression. Low compression could indicate a mechanical issue within the engine. 5. Starter motor: Check if the starter motor is engaging properly and turning over the engine. If the starter motor is not working, it may need to be replaced. 6. Wiring and electrical connections: Inspect all wiring and connections related to the ignition system, starter motor, and battery. Look for any loose or damaged wires that may be causing the starting issue. If you've exhausted these troubleshooting steps and the problem persists, it may be best to consult a professional motorcycle mechanic or Honda dealership. They have the specialized knowledge and diagnostic equipment to pinpoint the exact cause of the starting problem and recommend appropriate repairs. Please remember to exercise caution and follow proper safety procedures when working on your motorcycle.
