The only way to get more power is to up the jets in the carb,install pipes and a more open aircleaner,that is not a fuel injected bike so there isnt any computer work you can do to it.
The other thing you can do to get a little more power is to drill out the air fuel mixture screws and open them up a turn or so.

Downshifting problems on honda shadow spirit 750 2008 motorcycle

Some bikes will have this problem no matter what age or condition. I was taught years ago to slow down and stop in second and downshift to neutral whilst slipping the clutch. First gear on bikes is pretty low in ratio and to match speed of engine with road speed is very difficult at times, so suggest using second. Try it.

What do I check

Hello there ... Well you got me confused ... What exactly do you mean by saying back firing ? If you hear some noises from the exhaust and seeing flames now and then you must first check your carburetor . There might be something inside blocking the way , then you must look at the carburators neck ... Check for cuts or possible air loss same with the air pump... After that you can check the exhausts for any possible holes on the front neck or somewhere after the neck ...is the sound of the bike any different ? Check the chain also you could need some tighten if that's the back firing you mean ... I hope I helped !!!!

More power

Change pipes (open once), change jets (slow -5 up and main -10 up), custom air filter. If you do 1 or all of it, at the end you have to sync the carbs, and you must know, your bike will operate at higher temperature, so, do not overdo, if you want to have a bike for some time.

Does the 2002 honda shadow 1100 spirit have a governor or some kind of limiter because mine will not accelerate past 85?

It's only governed by the sprockets. I had a familiar problem. I rebuilt the carbs and had to bypass the fuel relay. Also if itbackfires need to adjust and replace exhaust donuts

1995 honda shadow ace, overall runs great, but at certain times while under heavy load, like riding into the wind at highway speeds it will heat up and temp light comes on. if i pull to shoulder and reduce...

could be several things
1-- coolant radiator is partially blocked or the thermostat is not fully opening reducing the flow of coolant through the radiator
2--- tuning is too lean at full load which causes overheat conditions for the engine
3--- timing a bit retarded for the rpms
i t is all connected to the extra load from the head winds requiring extra throttle that you would not normally use in normal conditions
another place to check is the fairing in use as the extra wind speed from the bike and the head wind may be causing a turbulence around the radiator and so preventing full air flow to the radiator

2003 honda shadow spirit vt750 carb problem

buddy dont worry about it what you have done is put to much oil inside the engine and as the piston goes down it cause abit off pressure which in the small space it has when you over filled it the pressure inside has just forced the oil out the breather into the air box just give it a little clean and drop oil aswell bud
