I just want to add to the comments and say that this video is a very good video of how to change the coolant on the Honda Shadow 600 VLX. GOOD JOB AND THANK YOU.
By far the best video on TH-cam for changing the coolant. Thank you very much. Would you happen to have one for changing the oil on the same motorcycle?
I really appreciated your video, because you went straight to the point without repeating yourself over and over. I have a red 2006 and yours looks amazing well take care of. Could you please mention about the crash bar? I couldn't find one yet that will fit 100% Thank you again for the great video

HI. congratulations for the video. I also have a Honda Shadow 600. I have the problem that the engine carters are not shiny and the chrome has also gone away. I see that your bike, engine parts and chrome are very shiny. Can you tell me what products you are using and what procedure you use? Thanks 🙏🏻
Many thanks for your video. Very helpful! I just purchased a '97 Shadow 600 like yours and I'm in the process of changing all the fluids. Today, I checked the small coolant reservoir tank and it was empty. So, per the owners manual, I added some pre-mixed Honda coolant using the small filler tube. None of it went into the tank...it just ran out a small rubber tube that sticks out below the bike frame near the overflow tank. His this tube come loose somewhere? I can find no mention of it in any of the manuals. Many thanks!
I went through your videos and this it the very next where it shows the windshield already mounted. Do you have the link for the windshield? My windshield is not as tall and wide as yours.
@@150SCOOTER oh, got ya. I wonder if there is any mark or maybe part number imprinted on it, or measurements? I really liked the style and size of it. Thank you for replying back.
@claudioelias8285 brand is National Cycle Street Shield EX. I cannot find the part number but I did measure it. It's about 21 inches in height. Hope that helps.
I learned on TH-cam...Use the Pink Coolant. New Technology and last 5 years. Also tell size of Drain plug. 10mm It's recommended to flush the system first, before putting in new Coolant. 😊 Just saying.
Okej so in the video you dident fill it upp more when you turn on the bike? It looked like the coolant dissapered when you turn it on then it was full again?
Great video, but DO NOT USE regular coolant!!! It has to be made for motorcycles. They thake out some stuff that eats away the seals over time. Honda has a new coolent that is blue. Its great for ALL motorcycles.
Called a motorcycle cruiser center stand lift jack. I got it from Amazon but you can find it anywhere online. It works just like a scooter center stand and it very stable if you needed to do maintenance on your motorcycle.
If he had an empty coolant can, he could have cut the plastic and made a shield and put it between the frame housing into the bowl and it wouldn't have shot out. Did it to mine and not a drop of coolant hit the ground.
One thing to be added; cooler reservair tank also should be filled. Radiator tank capacity is 1.6 lt and reservair tank' cap. İs 0.4 ... İt is enough to buy 1 liter cooler and another 1 liter poor water
This is one of the best channels on this bike. Thank you for all your work.

I have a 95honda shadow 600 vlx and your video is very helpful and precise
What stand is that? Straight forward video, thanks 👍
Sorry read through the comments after I made my comment, found the center stand 👍

I removed the dirt and grease on the bike with gear oils. That's it, no special product at all.

Your problem might be the rubber coolant line clogged or not connected to the overflow tank.
Thank you for the video. Very good information and great details.

Sorry, the windshield came with the bike when I've purchased it used.

@@150SCOOTER that helps, I found some so I will compare with some of your footage and try to match. Thank you so much.
I found this one but would like to confirm the dimensions, is this 7.7x19.6x21.4 inches?
How do you remove the coolant fairing?
Hello sir, can you be more specific how to mount a engine guard on the honda600 and the brand you have mounted on your bike, price too, thanks a lot

super helpful! thank you so much!
what's your opinion on using Prestone clean flush then adding coolant.
Depends on you but I don't think it's necessary. Most of the time, drain and fill should be enough.
What highway bars are those?
Check out my video description.

😊 Just saying.
It's always nice to hear more insightful information.
When you start the bike and the coolant disaper a bit do you fil it upp more when the bike is on?
Just don't go over the top line. Anywhere between the bottom and top line should be fine.
Okej so in the video you dident fill it upp more when you turn on the bike?

@@christiansson100 you're correct, engine off is when you check to see if you needed to add more coolant.

What year shadow is this?
2005
Thank you sir
Tell me about that stand to lift your bike in the air
Called a motorcycle cruiser center stand lift jack. I got it from Amazon but you can find it anywhere online. It works just like a scooter center stand and it very stable if you needed to do maintenance on your motorcycle.
Thanks really good video
What are you using to put the bike up? It looks lime some sort of jack, not a center stand? Do you have a link to it?
It's called a motorcycle cruiser center stand lift or jack similar to a scooter center stand. You can find it online.
Pls show me how to remove water pump... video
How much coolant did you use ?
Sorry, I don't remember.
@@150SCOOTER but how much is in that bottle you bought?
@@rino-sebastijanmoric-gluha124
1 gallon for $10 at Walmart.

isn't bad to use car coolant for motorcycle
Modern car coolant should work fine with motorcycle.
On my shadow you gotta remove the tank 😂
😊
Please don’t use that coolant, it’s chemical compound will waste your gaskets
You can get honda 50/50 coolant for about $8 a bottle at your honda dealer if wanted.
uhmm uh uhm uhmm
