Hello... I had the same problem... I ended up replacing the speedo...

Check you petcock for correct operation and make sure its not clogged. If its a vacuume actuated petcock, make sure the hose is attached well and not leaking. If all is well with those 2 things then try seeing if gas will flow when you remove the gas cap. If that fixes the problem, then the vent holes on your gas cap are clogged up.

Ethanol in the fuel will often lower a bikes idle speed. Honda gives you a simple screw to turn to raise or lower the idle speed on your motorcycle. it is part #10 on the following diagram. http://www.bikebandit.com/houseofmotorcycles/2006-honda-vtx1300r/o/m2927#sch410152 The black plastic knob is located on the left side of the engine, when you are sitting on the bike, under the carburetor. Try turning the knob 1/4 to 1/2 turn clockwise. This should open the carburetor just enough to allow the cycle to idle again.

in tank possibly

Remove the tank again and check that you didn't pinch wires when the tank was installed.

There is a problem with your ABS system. Have it checked by your dealer or agency. This is a no-joke system where other mechanics may fix. It is your safety that may be breached.

See if your ignition system like your plugs, coil and leads are providing spark.. Wet or oily plugs shows that the fuel mixture is not combusted.. Check your current source ( battery) is providing enough current too..

This search will go pretty quickly. The fault will be between the gas tank and the carburetor. Check the gas cap (that it is venting), the pet (that it is open and flowing), Unplug the fuel-line from the carb and check that fuel is flowing freely, and then remove the bowl, from the carb and check the "Needle and Seat", Inspect then and check that they are operating normally. Write back with any questions, good luck.

I have a 81 900 custom honda that had a vacuum valve that would not allow fuel to go to carburetors unless the vacuum of the engine was present. Since I did not want to have to turn over the motor for a long time to get gas to the carbs I found that locating the vent tube connected to the other side of the diaphram and blowing into it pushed the diaphragm open and allowed fuel to flow to carburetors. Maybe this will work for you too. Hope this helps.

Because you are pushing it too hard ... Where I live the max speed limit is 70 ... you are doing 80 in third gear? Of course it vibrates. If you are a legal racer, you already know all these answers. If you are on the street ... you are making it tough for the rest of us to live.
