SOURCE: I have a 2007 Honda VTX 1300 R motorcycle, I heard

NO WAY SHOULD YOU USE SYNTHETIC OIL IN YOUR BIKE. Use 10w40 motor oil in the gear box. Don't use any synthetic oils, oil marked "EC", or oil with "special" additives. Stick with the major brands; Pennzoil, Quaker State, Mobil or Shell. If in a hot area like Texas or New Mexico go with 20w50.

This is from a Honda service manual. The bigger bikes like yours get the 10w40 or 10w50.
Can I get a “very helpful” rating on this answer? Thanks!

SOURCE: how many ozs of shaft drive gear oil for a 2005 honda vtx r motor

hi,not a hard job to do,take the bike for a ride to warm the oil up before you drain it,it makes it a lot easier draining the oil as cold diff oil is quite thick and the hondas only have a small drain hole,get the bke sitting level i normally use a small car jack under each side of the bike just to hold it level,undo the lower drain bolt(about a 10 or 12mm from memory)drain all the oil out into a clean container,inspect the oil for any shiny bits,you shouldnt see any foreign bits on a bike this age though,if you do get the bike looked at straight away,there are a lot of bits and pieces inside that diff and they are very expensive to repair,once you have drained all the oil out replace the drain plug making sure it is tight(but dont strip the thread by over tightening it)undo the filler bolt(large plug type bolt above the drain plug)and fill with a good gear oil(from memory honda use a 80/90w oil)fill the diff to the bottom of the filler plug just untill the oil starts to dribble out of the filler hole,this is the correct level and i think from memory they hold about 280-300mls,a 1 litre bottle does 3 changes..dont forget to put the filler plug back in and tighten it...hope this helps...cheers ian

I have just changed frt pads on my vtx 1300 seem to work ok but when you push caliper brake handlr goes slack

hi do you mean when you push the caliper towards the disc the brake lever goes slack?

if so and the brake is working fine then you prob have no worries

when you push the caliper towards the disc you are forcing the piston back into the brake caliper and as a result the piston then has to be pumped out, so the pad has min distance to travel to make contact with the disc, hence the slack lever,

hope this helps and thanks for using Fixya

Is it very difficult to replace rear brake pads on a honda vtx 1300r

Personally I have never replaced pads on that particular bike but if it is like most rear disk pads, should not be too bad. I just remove the 2 bolts holding the caliper to the frame. Lift the caliper off enough to slide the pads out. Get a small C-clamp or something so you can gently push the caliper piston back in. Then install the new pads and bolt the caliper back on. Be carefull when pressing the piston back in because is might cause your master cylinder to overflow a bit. Once the pads are on the bike, pump the brake a few times until the pedal gets firm. Should be no need to bleed the system as long as you don't open any brake lines.
Hope this helps!

Push the Caliper piston all the way in to allow installation of new brake pads by pushing the caliper body inward.

Remove the pad pin plug and loosen the pad pin.

Pull the pad pin out of the caliper body while pushing in the pads against the pad spring.
Remove the brake pads.

Install new brake pads into the caliper so thier ends rest into the pad retainer on the bracket properly. Install the pad pin by pushing in the pads against the pad spring to align the pad pin holes in the pads and caliper body.

How long should brakes last on a vtx 1300

That depends a lot on how hard you are on them IE: your riding style.. Some riders may get 30,000 miles out of a set of brakes whereas others may need to replace them after 5,000 miles.

Battery

it's under your seat, you will need to use metric hex tool to remove your seat. after you get it off you will be able to see your battery, it's pretty easy to remove with a phillips head or a socket wrench.
