wow did not expect so many people to watch this however what i did to fix this was i put new plugs in, rebuilt the carb drilled out the adjusting screws and that fixed it. i was only firing on one cylinder and that was why it sounded that way. the way i found this out was by puttin my hand at the end of the muffler and feeling the kickback of air in the muffler and the heat on the mufflers. the one was cold and no little to no kickback.
If your bike is bogging out upon acceleration, check your air filter. Make sure it’s seated properly. If it’s not, it’s might be that your bike is not getting proper AIR RESTRICTION. Remember to check the gasket on the filter too, and the air filter box also.
You’re running on one cylinder. You likely have a carb or ignition issue. My Shadow has run exactly like this when the carbs need to be gone thru properly and rebuilt. Change the plugs while you have everything apart for good measure.

Hopefully someone sees this, Honda shadow 750 from 1983 bogs like crazy I can’t even get it past 60mph on the highway. I’ve replaced the fuel line, bought the bike with only 5000 miles
I actually got this problem yesterday on my 1100 shadow spirit, what was the diagnosis because right now around 55-60 it changes the sound and sounds like it’s gonna explode and my acceleration sounds like I’m running out of fuel
yes i fixed it by rebuilding carb (which was not necassary) and replacing the plugs which was the real issue in my opinion. It was only firing on one cylinder and that was why it sounded that way. the way I found this out was by putting my hand at the end of the muffler and feeling the kickback of air in the muffler and the heat on the mufflers. the one was cold and no little to no kickback.
Did u ever find out what the problem was? Mine just started doing the same thing today and I can't even pull out on it or it dies. Any info would be great thanks.
I've spent all day trying to fix mine. I have the same issue. Mine will back fire and pop all crazy. I cleaned both cabs so I have no clues what going on.

What do you mean when you say you drilled out the adjusting please elaborate I'm having the same problem and I'm not sure what you're drilling out
@@ronnie4552he was talking about the welch plugs which cover the air fuel mix screws

My front was running rich and missing bad. After taking the carburetors out 5 times it turned out to be the choke plunger
I felt that comment about taking the carb out 5 times
Sounds like your only firing on one cylinder. Check your plugs
You’re running on one cylinder. You likely have a carb or ignition issue. My Shadow has run exactly like this when the carbs need to be gone thru properly and rebuilt. Change the plugs while you have everything apart for good measure.
How much does something like that cost at a motorcycle shop
yea that was the issue
Sounds like it’s running on one cylinder. Check or replace spark plugs
This is exactly what my bike is doing now.Did you find a solution
My choke plunger on the front cylinder wasn’t seating all the way
Thank you for making this video
You got to give it a complete tune-up get your carburetor rebuilt fresh spark plugs coils if possible
You fuqed it up bro
I was going to buy it
yep rebuilt the carb and put new plugs in had to play with air to fuel mix screws which took a long while but i got her fixed and good!
Idle speed adjustment
Hey do you mind staying Intouch. I've got an 05 750 spirit doing the same thing. I've bout had it with the carb shit and shes going to a shop.
Have you figured out what happened? Mine keeps bogging down and doing this same thing?

Ok you want to take it to a honda shop for a diagnosis of the problem . Then you can work on it yourself or have them fix the issues
Most Lilley, a carburetor issue
I actually got this problem yesterday on my 1100 shadow spirit, what was the diagnosis because right now around 55-60 it changes the sound and sounds like it’s gonna explode and my acceleration sounds like I’m running out of fuel
Im having the same problem ! Ive gotten the carburetors cleaned and a new fuel pump installed and still bogs down at 70mph
My 96 shadow 600vlx dose same thing and maxed out at 55mph😒
i think there a air leak in the carburetor intake side thats why
One cylinder not firing
So what happened? I'm also having the issue. It keeps bogging and dies on the road
Me too, have you resolved??
Having the same issue here also. Had a carb issue last year and was replaced. This year started having this issue. Anyone get a fix yet?
Check your choke plungers mine wasn’t seating all the way

@@mrbesa fix plugs and learn to tune the air to fuel mix screws your self it will help a lot
Feel your pipes

it was popping and backfiring because 1 cylinder was going lean, did you end up having to pull the carbs and go through them again to fix it?
Your front are not firing
So what was wrong with it
Leaking muffler gasket
Idle to low
