Honda Shadow 400

[Guest samanosuke]

i heard shadow will not be produce 400cc bike anymore as for this year they just come out Honda Shadow Phantom 750cc

[amaninus]

bro, thanks for the info. shld be going down on mon.

 

Wanted to go planet initially, but diverted to previous shop to fix the alignment issue since tire and steering cone bearing is fixed there.

 

Wanted to flush radiator only initially, ended up leaving the bike there to do valve clearance, wash carb, change plugs and air filter. Total bill came up to $310. Now bike feels smoother.

His facebook thread got that wheelset?

 

Finally talked to Derrick on FB. He said the tubeless wheelset for the ACE is still available at his Kallang workshop.

Check it out bro if you're still interested.

Thanx Bro one headlight. If the pair of wheelset cost more than 1.5k, I dun think it is justifiable. Unless one wants to use it forever, haha

[Cruiserian]

I had called up derrick. They are using a pair of Japanese sport rim for customization. The wheelset plus labor cost will be sgd1.2

Hope the above is useful

Hi Guys,

 

Quick check how frequently do you have to service your carburettor?

 

Mine was serviced less than half a year ago and now I begin to occasionally feel the bike jerk when I was accelerating in second gear....

[Cruiserian]

By far my mileage is around 40k n I have yet to service my carb. Suggest u bring to rosli to check ur bike. bike jerking may hav more than 1 reason. Cheers.

I think its from a Honda Magna because it looked similar to the one I used to own. If it's from Japan, the quality must be good. But then again, the original spokes of our ACE is the real deal. I personally think that putting a solid wheelset would defeat the retro, old school look I love on my bike.

[Cruiserian]

Ya, our ace spoke rims rockx! Haha!

I still prefer the sports rim look. Is the shop in Kallang called Soon Fah ?

Hi,

Will water get into our shadow 400 carb when we ride in rain, or even parked on open carpark on rainy days?

My shadow got no petrol feeling (like eng stall) when i throttle to overtake after rain.

I think so. Riding in rain, wash bike, etc.... I drain it when there's trouble starting the bike too often.

For my 750 Aero, have to remove fuel tank, air filter and using a cloth to cover the drain outlet, get someone to right the bike up and the water should come out. Also will work if there's too much water in the fuel tank if you use the reserve switch on the fuel petcock. As practice, do it annually, especially if you park outdoors without cover.
