Thx so much sir for a good instructional video with great audio, I cannot stand trying to watch video's on youtube with terrible audio; you can't here it hardly at all; ur's was awesome. I subscribed and put you in my bookmarks for future reference.
im glad to see your doing the videos on the VTX 1800. I have one, and seeing these is helpful when it comes time to do maintanenace. Keep them coming!! thanks!
Glad you're enjoying our VTX 1800 series, Rbl! We've been thinking about doing some VTX electrical videos -- a no-start trouble shooting video and a no-charge troubleshooting video. Sound like something you'd like to see? Thanks for watching!
absolutely! I would also REALLY enjoy seeing the valve adjustment procedure. Not sure if that is something you would include because I don't know if any parts replacement is involved, but wanted to mention this one because its an expensive service every 8000 miles. Any VTX related content will be much appreciated! I will definitely be doing the Air, oil, and final drive changes over the winter. Thanks again!
I'll put VTX valve adjustment on the suggestions list. We have actually been asked for a motorcycle valve adjustment video before; maybe we can get this one in this year. Good idea using the snow season to catch up on those maintenance projects. Until next time, keep the rubber side down, Rbl! See you around the tube.
@@PartzillaParts Still waiting on that VTX 1800 Valve Adjustment Video....
Great video , thanks for the info
I love this guy.

Would it benefit to lean the bike over to remove more of the dirty oil?
Should the motorcycle be placed "on the side stand" to check the oil level, as suggested in the manual for the 1300?
Thanks again
Should you run the bike beforehand to warm up oil?
Engine oil, Diff fluid ... is there any other similar fluid that needs to be regularly changed on the VTX1800, or is that it? I’m new to cruisers; think I heard that there are three different types to change on older Harleys, for example ... ? 🤔 Thanks 🙏🏼
I need to see a video on how to bleed out the clutch on my VTX 1800 it honestly feels super tight pulling the clutch in. I have no idea what to do. But thank you for all the videos they have been a great help
We don't have video currently. The clutch slave/bleed nipple should be under the left case cover. Once you have access, it's the same bleed procedure as the front brake. Hope that helps.
My rear axle seal is leaking on my 2005 Honda VTX 1300R. Is there a video or info on how to repair?
Clean the magnetized drain plug as well.
can i use sae80w-90
Manual says to do this procedure while on the side stand.
I know that the 1300 manual calls for the bike to be on the side stand when measuring final drive oil level and was wondering if that was recommended for the 1800 as well.
Change ‘new’ oil again after a ride. It’ll help flush what’s left of original extremely dirty oil out.
What if it’s not hypoid?
i am enjoying your videos and learning quite a bit. I have a 2003 1800 VTXC that I picked up at the end of last summer. Is there much difference between the 2003 and 2005 that i have been seeing in your videos and if there is, what should i be looking for? thank you for your time and your videos.
They should be the same between those model years.
Partzilla thank you for responding so quickly. ill be tuning my bike up in about a week
the entire final drive oil change should be done with the bike leaning on it side stand, which mean you did not get all the dirty oil out and you over filled it with new oil.
Is that what the manual says
John, do you have a video showing the wiring harness for the changing out of the ignition coil packs or just changing out a wire with part numbers? I broke my Front Left wire changing out my plugs, (needs changing anyway as it broke way to easy). I have been all over the web and do not see a video or even parts numbers. Its seemed to be a difficult task for my local dealer to get the part i needed as well. Thanks for all your videos, Steve
We don't currently have a video. This is the only diagram we have for the wiring harness and ignition. It should help with finding the part number for the correct replacement. Note: this is the diagram for an 05. If you have a different year, you can select the correct unit and check that diagram.

thank you. you guys are too awesome.
Thanks for a great video. I have read else where of people using 75w-90 to 75w-140 synthetic from different product lines. Would this be a problem for the final drive, if I was to use them instead of standard gear oil? If so why?
Hdppd i dont know. hope that helps bro.
Hdppd ok 75w90. listen up son im goimg to school you a bit. the 75w is the cold viscosity the w stands for winter. so its flows better when its cold. and as it heat up the viscosity changes to 90. and as for full synthetic its always better.
What is the name of the cap thing that is on top? I have oil leaking from that, is that normal? How do I fix it?
It's the breather cap. If it's consistently leaking, you might be overfilled.
John, I have a 2003 VTXC. How much difference will there be on the final drive Oil Change vs the 2005's?
Should be the same procedure.
steve lorts should be done on the side stand. Look it up
Yeah, I'm confused. Both my owner's manual and honda service manual say to do this (or check) fluid fill with the bike on its side stand. That sounds totally counter-intuitive to me. My valkyrie, which has the pumpkin on the right side (better!), you are to fill and check the gear oil with the bike upright. I guess if you get the correct amount of oil in the VTX pumpkin, whether on the side stand or upright, it should be fine. It's just weird, as every final drive I've worked on, every tranny or transfer case as well, you check and fill to the bottom of the hole with the bike (or vehicle) upright and on level ground. What was Honda thinking here--that they wanted it to be a one-man job, so you can do it all on the side stand?
Does the bike have to be upright or on the side stand? I've seen some videos words on the side stand and this one it was straight up?
To fill the proper level, it should be upright. Realistically, it could be done on the stand, if you hold it upright to fill.
@@PartzillaParts That's not what the manual says.
My manual says to change it every 22000 miles (36000km). Huge difference compared to your 12000 miles (19000km). I've got a 2004 VTX1800C.
Manual says 24000 miles for service. Inspect at 8000 and 16000 miles. Sorry for the confusion.
Im seeing comments saying on the sidestand? That mean kick stand? Whats the right way of doing it. And is it the same for the 1300?
Generally speaking, there are exceptions, but sight windows are upright and dipsticks are sidestand.
@@PartzillaParts so its the same amount of fluid for 1300
is there any merit to flushing the final drive and if so what should be used to flush it?
It's not necessary to flush. Just change the oil when needed.
Partzilla my fear was I bought my vtx used and I don't know if it ever got changed. I was going to do 2 or 3 changes after 100 miles each just to make sure it was clean. but if you say a change is fine. I guess I could just do that.
If you drain the oil, just make sure there are no metal shavings. If there are, it will warrant further inspection. Fresh oil should do the trick, otherwise.
is the washer part #94109-1400 or is it #94109-14000?
94109-14000. Looks like a typo in the video. Sorry for the confusion!

You should also grease the shaft every time you change the Dif oil :)
How do you do that?
Guess I need to get some oil. PEACE
WARNING
Do not torque that filler cap to 15 ft lbs. It's made of cheap aluminum and will snap right in half. This is exactly what happened to me. Just tighten to finger tight, then a bit more with a regular socket.
Thanks for the heads-up
Service manual says that motorcycle should be standing on a side stand on a level surface during final drive oil change
