As I’m riding my 2004 1300 down the road I noticed a weird sound. I haven’t been able to determine the exact cause of the sound but I think I have narrowed it down. As I started up and began my work drive, the sound came from below the gas tank. It sounds like a piece of plastic tapping against...

Hello Everyone! My grandpa just passed down his garage kept 2004 VTX 1300 to me. It was serviced 500 miles ago, which was 6 YEARS AGO! What all should I service/change? He replaced the battery before he gave it to me. It had 3,000 miles when I got it and it started up and ran fine. Only thing...

I saw a post earlier that people were having trouble finding pdf owners manuals online. You can find a 2004 manual when you search on google. I got my 2005 manual by changing the year in the url link. For other years I would try using the same method. Good luck on finding your manuals...

So I was headed home and got caught in a wicked dust storm yesterday. Made it home fine and nothing seems to be wrong with the bike, but I was driving in it for a good 15 minutes, we're talking sideways wall of dust moving 30+ mph and me headed at it at 50+ mph. My question is, what damage...

I bought an '07 VTX 1300C from a coworker a couple of years ago and haven't done much in the way of maintenance or mods aside from oil/filter changes, some holes in the exhaust, and smog kit removal. I'm headed to Tail of the Dragon next week with my father-in-law to have some guy time while...

I was wondering if other VTX owners have noticed ticking of their valves, even after adjusting. I had my valves adjusted at my local Honda dealer, but they still tick more than other bikes I've had before. Nothing ridiculous, just a little annoying. Any comments would be welcome.

Howdy folks! I just bought an 1800F and the dealer mentioned seeing me when I'm due for my 600 mile maintenance. It only took me a couple of weeks and I'm ready... except that a buddy of mine reminded me to check my owners manual because while the 1300 requires a maintenance the 1800 DOES NOT...

I had a great day working on my 2006 VTX1300R today. I read up on the pair valve removal, valve adjustment, and the deep clayton mod. I was able to do all three in 5 hours thanks to the great amount of info I have found and read on this forum. Special thanks to:bowdown: Poison for the fantastic...
