First, try to turn the engine over by hand. The reason is that I have seen vehicles that have had an auxiliary part such as an alternator or air conditioner compressor seize up and not allowing the engine to rotate. You can also take off the serpentine belt and try to crank it over. The engine may be seized thus it will not crank over. Make sure that the wires are correctly placed and not crossed.

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.

SOURCE: how to change sparkplugs on honda shadow motorcycle

VT1100 has two spark plugs per cylinder, the sparkplug caps are snap-ons so they're fairly easy to remove. You need a spark plug socket wrench to remove and replace the spark plugs.

SOURCE: replaced starter relay and stater in yamaha 1100 2001 v star

Charge battery to full, start in neutral, still clicks? Bad ground, or bad connection. Jump starter solenoid with screwdriver,etc. if motor turns over the relay is bad. Chaz Moto DC

2004 Honda Shadow Sabre VT1100C2.

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from Honda Cars.

In the link you will find wiring diagrams and links to the Honda Shadow forums. Relays either work or they don't and seldom blow fuses. Something is shorting to earth, and wires rubbing on the frame or another item is usually the cause.

This is the wiring diagram for the earlier model and only shows two relays for flasher and starter. Not even one on the headlight.

2004 Honda Sabre 1100 has been sitting for almost 2 years. I'm going to change the oil, filter and plugs before starting it. My question is: is there a way to force oil through the engine prior to...

The best way is to simply set the kill switch so the engine can't start, then just let the starter motor turn the engine over for minute. Don't twist the throttle and the engine shouldn't flood. Please rate my answer. Thanks!

1100 shadow 2002 will not start, just replaced battery and when I try to start it clicks, sounds like its in the starter relay. Does that mean the relay is bad???

the relay may be bad or the new battery terminals may not be connecting due to corrosion etc.
check connections first.
get a 12v test light check the relay gets power from the switch, usually a red wire.
Check the relay has power from the battery.
Check the starter side of the relay, with button pressed
