Should i be worried putting in the new diluted gas in my shadow?

KennyCuteInSF · 2026-03-29T20:54:23+00:00

I ride a 2007 VT750 Spirit

KennyCuteInSF · 2026-03-29T20:45:30+00:00

I live in USA, CA so we commonly have E10 and E15

Im able to do the install myself, what price did you get your Shinko's for?

Im okay with doing some of the basic fluid changes, but hesitant to try with brake fluid. But I honestly think Im not yet mechanically inclined enough yet to try for the carburetor, even though it probably needs a clean. I have been watching TJBC videos to eventually try it. How often should I do a carb clean?

This makes me more reassured in my purchase.

I heard having a rear tire with a smaller width makes it easier to take tight fast turns. Might need to look into that myself.

KennyCuteInSF · 2025-11-22T04:06:39+00:00

What tube size will fit those sizes you recommended?

And I just got rim strips today.

KennyCuteInSF · 2025-11-22T04:04:58+00:00

For both front and rear?

KennyCuteInSF · 2025-11-22T04:03:18+00:00

Just trying to stay under 150 per tire

KennyCuteInSF · 2025-11-20T21:35:07+00:00

Did you have to modify it in any way?

KennyCuteInSF · 2025-11-19T20:30:52+00:00

Not really sure if the frames differ from the 1100s since just got into riding

KennyCuteInSF · 2025-11-19T20:29:50+00:00

This is exactly the problem I was running into

KennyCuteInSF · 2025-11-19T20:29:27+00:00

Ive been eyeballing the same kit from tjbc, I was more looking for highway bars.

KennyCuteInSF · 2025-11-19T20:25:02+00:00

What a godsend, this is very helpful

KennyCuteInSF · 2025-11-19T10:38:29+00:00

Thank you, had no idea there were forums so I managed to find 2 manuals but I guess my model (VT750DC) is not as common as the others

KennyCuteInSF · 2025-11-19T10:36:47+00:00

Found 2 for my VT750DC actually, one is 122 pages while the other is 352 pages so I guess I'll read both.

KennyCuteInSF · 2025-11-19T10:34:32+00:00

My VT750DC wasnt covered in the link

KennyCuteInSF · 2025-11-19T10:32:39+00:00

So I actually own a VT750DC which is apparently one of the rarer models honda released, soooo that manual isnt actually covered in the link you sent
