Re: How many quarts of oil do I put in a 2004 Honda VTX...
When draining the oil, when it looks like it's done, carefully stand bike up right & a bit more will drain out as well, it's safe to put 4 qts in & not be over or under.

The 1 quart will increase the viscosity of the oil marginally which means it will be a little bit thicker and not as fast flowing throughout the engine.The overall effect will be minimal.What is bad is to overfill the crankcase,so please ensure that adding the 4 quarts has not overfilled it as there is often old oil left that doesn't drain completely.
Wish I could help but mine , '06 does the same thing. Turned the idle up and it helped quite a bit, but still have to leave the choke on at least 10-15 minutes. New plugs and cleaning the carb did nothing. Gonna try adjusting the A/F screw today.
any auto parts stor will have a book that will tell them what filter to put on. or you can got on line to baldwinfilter.com and it will tell you. for the oil use a honda oil or you can go on line to ams oil and find it there, also depeds on how cold the wather is hope this will help
I had this problem on a 2004 VTX 1300S. What you are experiencing is caused by one of two things - loose wiring or a faulty starter solenoid. In my situation it was loose wiring. Hope that helps!
ok first you got to find the link that takes the chain apart after you do that loosen the bolts that hold the tire on if you cant do that you can use a breaker bar or put a pipe or on the end of you rachet that will give you more leverage. then sloed the tire forword so you can undo the chain and slide tire off
