My 2001 Shadow Spirit 750 has a bad hiccup under load, but not necessarily under acceleration. The bike has been sitting, but only for a few months, and it has been started and ridden around the block occasionally, so I am hoping I haven't gummed-up the carb. I also wonder if the old battery might be to blame. It will run, but needs to be push-started. I will probably replace the battery as a first step as it needs to be done anyway.
I once had a similar problem that occurred mostly at higher speeds. That one actually seemed more electrical (speedo whacking out and lights dimming) but ended up being a simple rubber cap missing from one of the carb vacuum inlets. Think it could just be the battery if I am not losing electrical power this time around?

Re: Why does my VT750 2002 honda engine misfires on...
Install a new set of stock plugs. Drain the carbs. Clean the carbs. Clean or replace the air filter. If the miss is still there then have the carbs balanced and syncronized. The problem should be gone.

well it is misfiring so get the car to a shop and get it serviced
like 99.9999% do today (a real show with real tools) seems not.
you have no tools to fix the car and no scan tool
nobody can fix cars lacking the OBD2 scan tool (real)
there are lots of causes. but in school day 1 they say
:bad engine (say compression is 200,.201,202, and 50.PSI (i can do BAR but so can you google PSI to BAR)or KPa.
or bad spark. (bad cops, ?) bad COP boots.
and last bad fueling, misfire felt here is way too rich burn.
in that order.
guessing will be costly and already has.
what if the scan told told you P03xx errors
and was 301. and spark hole #1 , is 50PSI. oops bad engine
or P03xx code for CMP ,and the cam sensor is bad. or cam belt slipped.
what if the P0301 ( my 1 guess) is bad COP, cylinder 1.
there is P03xx code for bad CKP too and P0300 coded means all 4 plugs show misfire. (cam slip or cmp/ckp fails)
1.5T is DOHC engine.
learn to scan he PCM, or go broke fast
the PCM will always see misfire and have DTC P03xx codes
to tell you what's UP, no looking is HUGE FAIL./
code p03 is spark section failure.
RHD car not USA so is UK or one of their infamous Crown colonies
not told. you.
our 1.5L is 2 cams and chain drive, no stinky belt drive good
and low miles is good.
the engine may be VVT got that? if yes it can fail and cause misfire easy and again the scan tool will show that signs of it to a pro.
vvt is called VTC by honda and is complex (more)
VTC is variable valve timing, and the part on the front of the cam can fail for that.
find a real shop this time that knows honda's and VTC and can hold a scan tool.

either you have a faulty gas pump, one or more spark plugs or cables ar going bad or nrrd to br replace, could be a vacuum leak too, yourcar have the check engine light on? if so, need to know what code the will help you a lot.
