This is one of THE BEST bikes to learn on. Not too much power, super simple, and most of it can be thrown away stock. Great video
This was my first bike (2003 model) I completely agree, one of the best first bikes ever. Not too small, but not big. Nimble, low to the ground and easy to maneuver. And it sips on gas too. Great little bike! Just a pain to get the carb off! I've since upgraded to the VTX1800C. 😁
I just bought a 2003 Shadow VLX 600 and your video is AWESOME!!! You're my new teacher.
Thank you for this video breakdown of how to remove the carburetor... I had my 2007 VT600CD sitting in the garage for 3 years without any fuel stabilizer. Last week tried to get it started and only ran on choke, died as soon as i gave it gas or pushed the choke in.... Your video was very helpful and probably the only one out there that shows the all the steps...
One think I did differently was to remove the tank altogether. The 2 claps you have to loosen at the connection with the intake (at the back of the carb) are just a nightmare to unscrew. Also, one mistake I made and panicked after i put it back together, and it wouldn't start, was that i accidentally unscrewed the idle screw too much and that's what was causing it not to idle.
But the job took me about 5 hours in total, considering this was my first time rebuilding a carb, I was very happy. Thanks for your help!
Awesome! I'm glad the video helped
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. The only one on you tube! Appreciate the info.
Why are there no comments???,This video was extremely helpful. Thank you Racecraft . :)
I bought a 2003 VLX 600 in 2008. I removed the vacuum operated fuel valve and also bypassed the coolant lines that flowed through the intake manifold. I also removed the whole air intake filter system and replaced it with a pod filter. To also get improved performance, I got an extension for a stepped drill bit and ran it up through the mufflers and drilled the two end caps in each muffler out to 3/4". Last year, I removed the mechanical speedometer along with the lights in it and all three of the lights in the top fork mount. I made my own mounts and swapped out the stock tank for one off a 750 Aero and a tank mounted speedometer that I was able wire all the lights into the wiring on my bike. I now have an extra gallon of gasoline and can travel much longer than I could before. One other thing I have to say, is my Honda VLX 600 is probably the best bike I ever owned. I did make a video of what it looks like now.

You change it to gravity fed fuel? I need your help with something if you can help me. I’m seeing that fuel piece for the first time because of purchasing an 07 engine. Was only trying to replace my 05 engine because I was told they were the same engine. I bought a brand new carb for the 05 a month ago will it fit the 07? I didn’t even realize there were more than one type of single carb. Also my 05 cylinder heads didn’t have reed valves(little rectangular pieces with hoses coming out, one on each head)..the 07 engine has them..idk where the hoses go..or if my carb would fit😕
Herzlichen Dank für dein Video, meine Shadow soll nach 10 Jahren wieder zu leben erwecken, dein Video hat mir sehr geholfen 👍
Just bought this same bike, same size and color just 2004, i need battery and carb cleaning. thanks bro.
nice job..
I wonder if the split above the plastic nut was causing vacuum issues?
It's a real pain in the arse to get those carbs out!
what does that top hose laying on the carb go to
7:09 for choke cable/idle
Learn as you go.
Is good just more detail on the Coolant lines with one goes where or it doesn’t matter?
It's been too long since I worked on this motorcycle, I'm not sure about the coolant lines.
What tools did you use to get to the carb rubber boot screws? I can’t get to them with the tank on
Took off the tank and it didn’t help much. I just used a long screwdriver and used it at an angle. It took some heavy pushing to not strip the screws
hoping this will translate to my 97 shadow 600 im doing the research to do it to mine n have no idea what im doing
How did it go? The 97 is a dual carb right?
Would it matter if I blocked off the coolant hoses instead? I live on a Mediterranean island so the climate is pretty mild all year round. Any advise will be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
Do you mean blocking off the coolant hoses so there is no transfer into the radiator? I would advise against that. I live in Hawaii where the temperatures are moderate also, but the temperatures inside the engine are very hot. I would expect it to gradually overheat even if the climate is pretty mild, and even if there is a constant air flow over the engine
I have the exact same bike. Trying to raise my idle and the carb end of the cable is just laying on the engine unattached. Where does it go?
Did you ever figure out where it goes? Mine is laying on its own as well?
How did you remove the clamp on the back of the carb?
It was difficult, I ended up trying multiple sets of pliers until I finally got it off
Tried taking off my carb today using your video. Was absolutely worthless. You left soo much stuff out that I would be here for a month trying to list it all. Next time you make a video, please tell people how dificult it actually is instead of trying to make yourself look like a master mechanic.
Lmao yeah it’s his fault you tried something you don’t have the technical knowledge for. Dipshit
In fact for that reason I hope u never got the bike running again and had to sell it
Well, isn't that sweet of you?
@@KevinG58444 And just FYI, its my daily driver, I figured it out on my own, so jokes on you!🤣
What is the loose hose on top the carburetor
That's the carburetor overflow hose
@@LegitRaceCraft thanks for the information
I’m trying to find out why my bike keeps catching fire
Do you have a fuel leak?
Sounds like somebody's float stuck but it shouldn't be hard to find a fuel leak
What saddle bags are those?
Not sure, this wasn't my motorcycle
HourNine Racecraft ah, thanks anyway
Fuck my ass this looks complicated there’s no fkn way I can do all this myself. PLEASE FUCKIN WORK SEAFOAM I have it in this exact motorcycle right now. Had it soaking for 2 days so far, and so far I can use less choke when it’s warmed up than I could two days ago but without choke it dies immediately. Think the fuckin pilot jet is clogged
Did the Seafoam ended up working for you? ... I have the same issue and I ordered sefoam and Berryman B-12 in the hopes I a can get it working without choke...
Well, that didn't work and I had to take it off and clean the clogged jets. Working fine now.
When i run mi 2004 shadow gasoline caming out of that hose
If you have fuel coming out of that hose then it's likely that you need to clean your float needles or replace them
@@LegitRaceCraft thanks for the information
Same here .
At 8:36 when you talk about the vacuum line . That was a recall from honda . Its called the VFP vacuum . It is the main reason the bike won't start . The VFP gets stuck ans it won't let fuel get to the carb . You have to bypass the VFP and plug where the line goes into the rear cylinder . Here is a video that shows the VFP .th-cam.com/video/glAgAl-xt-c/w-d-xo.html and here is a link to the screw you need to plug the cyclinder hole . shoptjbc.com/collections/vt600-parts-collection/products/afp-vacuum-port-plug?_pos=3&_sid=633df4322&_ss=r Here is a video of removing the AFP and plugging the hole th-cam.com/video/S0fYNWPkwp0/w-d-xo.html
Hey Steve or anyone. I have the exact same bike. Trying to raise my idle and the carb end of the cable is just laying on the engine unattached. Where does it go, any idea?
7:09 on this video mentions the choke cable but not idle. Before I grab wrenches I'd like to know what to expect somewhat.
@@namelessfaceless5748 Hold on I'll find you a video of a guy taking one apart .
@@namelessfaceless5748 Look at the links I added in the comment above about removing the VFP you need to do that first thing .
@@namelessfaceless5748 Watch this video it shows the bracket the idle knob attaches to . What his videos he has one of the carb . I'm still looking th-cam.com/video/S0fYNWPkwp0/w-d-xo.html
