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: what kind of oil is recommended for a 2002 Honda

Use only a JASO MA certified motorcycle oil. Automotive oil uses different additives and will shorten the life of your wet clutch and transmission gears. Shell Rotella T Synthetic (15w-40 about $22) and Shell Rotella standard oil ($12 a gallon) for diesel engines , both are JASO MA rated for motorcycles.10w-40 oil is good for cold climate. 20w-50 for hot climate/touring. Synthetic oil will make your cycle run cooler and shift easier. For the engine you will probably need four quarts of oil, a spin on filter,and a drain plug washer . Pour in three quarts and check the oil level by placing your motorcycle on the center standard looking at looking at the dip stick. Run the motor and top up as needed.
If changing the oil filter you will have to run the motor to get an accurate oil level reading.
Your final drive uses 80/90 hypoid gear oil. Synthetic hypoid oil will reduce friction and make your final drive run cooler.

My '98 shadow 1100's radiator is kicking in quicker than usual. it may be low on coolant? can i just add water or does it need to be a specific coolant

I would add a 50/50 mixture of Honda Coolant and I use distilled water. So many bikes have different metals and seals that I recomend using the manufactures brands and recommendations to be sure you are protecting all parts of the bike.

Is the only way to fill the coolant for my Honda Shadow Sabre 1100 is by the small cap near the passengers right foot peg?

I filled my radiator with coolant by removing the cover on the right side of the gas tank just behind the handle bars. When you remove the cover, you will see the radiator cap. Remove the cap and begin filling with the appropriate coolant.

Where is the radiator drain plug for a 2002 honda shadow sabre

This is correct. I just changed my coolant on my 2002 1100 Sabre and all you have to do is disconnect the lower radiator hose and drain all of the fluid out, flush with fresh water, then reconnect and fill with appropriate coolant.
