Honda VTX 1800 blinkers really slow to come on in cold weather

In cold weather my turn signals don't want to start working for a very long time. Sometime they may take a couple of minutes to work once they start they work fine.

SOURCE: Wont start when weather is cold.

Tune up... its flooding when its cold due to the plugs being worn out...

SOURCE: Rear right turn signal acts as a running light.

Make sure and replace the lamp with the exact same one as the working side. Sounds like their is a mismatch in the lamps of some sort.
If one of the filliments is burnt out this will happen. Just like in car blinkers. Or it will blink fast. Hope this helps.. Happy Holidays. Jay

SOURCE: Vulcan 300 Freeloader Gas Water Heater

I assume it has a pilot. Try blowing out the pilot area with compressed air or CO2. Then relight the pilot.

Dust can cover the pilot combustion air inlet and cause it to pull away from the safety generator or thermocouple. Its called an oxygen depletion arrangement on some space heaters. I assume your Domestic Water Heater has this setup as well. Even if not the thermocouple is not getting all then heat from the flame. If this doesn't work get back to me here. We'll try 1 more thing.

If this helps you please grade me accordingly. GOOD LUCK

SOURCE: Car will not start when cold on first try

its the passlock system. The passlock wire is tiny and fragile, and gets disrupted causing your car to think you are trying to steal it everytime you put your key in.

now you can search for this video on youtube, this is where i learned and ever since i did this i have had NO problem with my car starting for the past 5 months.

you need wire nuts, wire cutters, electrical tape, n socket wrench to take apart steering column

first, go to your fuses, find the airbag fuse and remove it just incase you snip the wrong wire. what you do is look below your steering wheel and take your steering column apart. there are a serious of wires electrical taped together that are plugged in. you peel all the electrical tape back exposing the wires, and you find the WHITE wire. its all white, no other color. This wire is for your Passlock system.... this is the wire that got faulty and is causing the car not to start. now what you do from here is kinda tricky, not too bad though.

Seclude the white wire from the rest, so that you are ready to make your cut. Now, what you do is start your car, leave it running, and while its running you cut the white wire in half. then after cutting the wire, turn your car off, and then turn it back on. it should start right up. Then just put wire nuts on the two ends, and electrical tape them back together

The point of doing this is, one is disables the passlock system completely, and two the reason why you do this while the car is running is because snipping the wire with the car running makes the car think that it got into an accident or something, and puts the BCM/car into a "Fail-safe" mode, making it start every single time no matter what.

i thought this sounded insane at first, but after searching for a couple of hours its the only answer that made sense. and now i am the happiest camper in the world as far as it starting

2002 Honda VTX 1800. Bike starts when letting up on start button.

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from Cars and Trucks.

That isn't enough voltage. It starts using the momentum when the starter cut power.Put the battery on a full size battery charger overnight and try again. Take it to an Interstate Battery shop and ask them to test it. Takes 2 minutes on the bike and you get a print out..

Honda vtx 1800

Did you check the battery, and clean the terminals? If the battery is down, the lights will work but it won't have enough power to turn the starter. I hope this helps.

Where is radiator fill cap on my 2007 honda 1800 vtx t (touring). Coolant level in fluid resevoir is low.

Hi, follow the top radiator hose from the rad it will then connect to the thermostat housing the radiator cap is located on the housing, if the rad is full you could simply top up your resovoir with coolant( do not remove cap untill the engine is cold)

I have 2004 honda vtx 1800c that won't idle when it's been sitting over night. Will idle after it's been driven for about 10 minutes. Any ideas.

i had same with my vtx 1800 i adjusted the idle , if you look to the left of engine between the pots there is a little plastic wheel on the end of a cable which goes to the throttle body, i think it is anti clockwise to increase. try this it worked ok for me however there is a cold start on these and it is operated by coolant temperature check your coolant level and top up if neccessary with the correct coolant as specified (not got info at hand)
