My 2005 Honda vtx R vapor locks on me. I crank it up in the garage let it idle, back it out of garage, put it in gear and it shuts off and will not crank no way shape or form.. Take the gas line off the pet ****, turn the key on and turn it over and gas shoots out of the pet ****. Put gas line back on pet ****, and motor will start. Sometimes it will run a day or two before doing it again.

2005 vtx 1300c idles but turns off when placed in gear..

There is a safety switch on the kick stand of that bike that keeps it from running while in gear. It sounds like that switch is bad and killing the bike as soon as you put it in gear.

I have a honda VTX 1300 that has a 5 speed transmission. I only count 4 when Im shifting. 1 down and 3 up.

Let me see, 1 down = 1st gear, 1 up = 2nd gear, 2 up = 3rd gear, 3 up = 4th gear, 4 up = 5th gear.
See, easy.

2005 honda vtx 1300r car start but not go

if you are able to select gears without the motor stalling I doubt that your clutch is burned I would suspect that you may have sheared the output shaft in the gearbox this is a major job & without the correct tools & knowledge should be entrusted to a qualified technician

My 2005 Honda VTX 1300R has new battery, starts fine,accel good but idles rough sometimes to the point of stalling

Make sure the choke is pushed ALL the way in. If you've been using it, you may have fouled the plugs.

Engine miss fires. tinny sound from exhaust. engine shuts down at or near idle.

Sounds as if the back pressure is making it pop when you shut it down. If the bike has know problems when Idling or running then don't worry about it.
