We have no control over jets once they leave us some customers drill them out, test and tune etc. The low idle RPM can be increased or decreased by turning the low idle stop screw (located near the top of the carburetor and below the throttle lever with the link attached) inward to increase, or outward to decrease. For EFI, much of the old-fashioned carburetor malarky is. Fits If you remove the air box on a Honda Shadow with dual carbs, the carbs will have a hard time creating enough negative vacuum to pull in a steady flow of fuel from the pilot and main jet. A: There are two screws to adjust when setting the idle on a carburetor. Then, simply adjust each idle mixture screw slowly in/out to obtain the highest possible idle speed. have similiar problem with my 80 cb 125s Honda-high rpm My 1980 Honda-just got a new carb.Overall, it's a fun, reliable, and kind of rare bike, but I enjoy it.1983 honda shadow 750 carburetor adjustment It's easy to maneuver in tight spaces, but it has the power to keep up and pass traffic on the highway. It's great for riding in the city, to the store, as well as getting out for a country cruise. It weighs just over 400 pounds and had 66 horsepower, plus it gets about 40-45 mpg. This is a great bike for first time owners IMO due to the relatively light weight and good power this bike has. I know the larger V4 engines from Honda during this time had notorious oil starvation issues with how the engine was designed to get oil up to the cam lobes, but the VF500C does not have this problem IMO - I've never met a VF500C owner who reported it, even owners who've rolled over 100k miles.

Buy a Clymer manual for maintenance and you will be able to fix any issue that arises though. The bike was only imported into the USA for two years, so finding them or information on them can be difficult. Other V30 owners have told me this V4 engine really comes into its own after 30,000 miles, so I'm just getting to the good part I guess. Regular fluid changes and this bike soldiers on with out any thought to the years and miles. This motorcycle is 23 years old and still starts without any hesitation.

The center stand can come up and dent the left muffler - I've seen this on multiple VF500Cs (Magna V30s) - I don't know exactly how it happens, but you're left with a dent in the muffler.

The tail and brake light work fine though. The problem is the ignition box (after 23 years) has gotten loose and you have to jiggle the key to make sure the warning indicator goes out. Tail light warning indicator will intermittently flash.
