The engine misses and seems to just cut out when I hit speeds around 80 to 85, but it runs perfect at speeds less than 80. I was kind of disappointed with this and would feel a lot better knowing it was governed instead of having something wrong with the bike.
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
SOURCE: I have a 85 Honda Shadow vt 500. Engine is surging
did you clean all the jets good sounds like it may be in the jets and needle part of the carbs
SOURCE: coolant type
That bike came from the factory with regular green antifreeze/coolant mixed 50/50 with distilled water. You can get it pretty much anywhere that sells automotive products.
The only way it should be anything other than that would be if someone has changed it over, which is rare.

You always want to use the highest octane gas u can find in a motorcycle engine .... 91 at least
SOURCE: motorcycle dies while riding,like gas is cut off
Most likely your high speed needle valve seat has dirt in it. Try removeing the bowl and cleaning the Main Jet.
SOURCE: stator removal honda
There is a tool that is used, it looks like a steering wheel puller or flywheel puller. Loosen the nut, a strap tool is handing to hold the stator still while you loosen the nut. Then using the removal tool, you pull this off. reassemble by tighting the nut. You should be able to get a puller at autozone in the loan a tool program. I hope this helps
