Your Fuel Injection system is in need of attention.

backfire can come out carb or exhaust--could be runnin to rich-is the float level set rite-jets may be wrong too--1st chec spark plug quality-wires-coil etc for correct fire--but since it kiks in then probly the high speed jet is fine

it is not hard to do but it would be best to get the drag pipes. there are a host of problems to think of though. you will need to rejet the carbs to accomodate the free up in back pressure. you will need the tourque slipins for the pipes. they will fit right into the pipes where they connect at the heads. the 1300 is going to be super loud without the baffels. like getting stopped by the law loud. it would be best to get a tuned drag setup from a dealer as to get the sound you are looking for as well as keep it below jonnie laws radar.

Check for proper adjustment of the clutch.

under your seat there is a bunch of wires 3 of the yellow i think wires goes to a pigtail thats the wiring harness for your stator and rectifier i had 03 1100 spirit shadow and 1 day i was riding and it jus quit on me i finally got it home broke it down n noticed the fuse kept popping every time i changed it then i found the melted pigtail looking for a short so i cut pigtail out straight wired each wire an never had a problem since.

These bikes are notorious for doing this. You must have a good battery to start these engines. I had a '94 VT1100 Shadow and it did the same thing. I bought a new battery and that solved the problem. Take you battery out and take it to an automotive parts house. They'll usually test the battery for you free of charge. Back when I had my Shadow, the only people that made the battery was Yuasa and it was that Yumacron battery. Expensive but it made the bike start well. Good Luck!

I would get a rebuild kit and do a full strip down and clean. If you don't want to do that, take the throttle cable right off to check it is not pulling. https://www.google.com/search?q=1999+Honda+Shadow+Aero+1100+carburetor+rebuild ..

Start with the fuel tap (called a petcock) in the horizontal position. This is pointing toward the back of the bike, and it is in the "off" position. Turning it counter-clockwise to point up is "on," and turning it clockwise to down is "reserve."

Normally, you'll want to run the bike with the petcock set to on, and save the reserve for the emergency situation when you run out of fuel.

Fluid flows back into the brake fluid reservoir through a pin hole. There is a large opening that feeds the master cylinder. If the fluid return pin hole becomes plugged the pressure builds up in the system till the brake locks up the wheel. My experience is with standard braking systems not ABS but I assume there is still a fluid return hole that is smaller than the feeder hole. I suggest you take apart the master cylinder and carefully clean it making sure small passageways are clear. Normally minor binding is just a dirty brake cylinder that is not floating correctly. On the road a pressure wash of the caliper and pistons will keep you rolling till you disassemble and properly clean the floating components. With an ABS system there may be a second pressure release system that is keeping the system from locking up. Pressure wash the system. If that does not work, Disassemble and clean the components ( master cylinder assembly and caliper floating components). If that does not work you may have to have a dealer diagnose a possible problem with the ABS system

To change your oil you will need 4 quarts of oil, a filter, and a new aluminum drain plug washer. You can reuse the old one if it has not been squished out of shape. Your motorcycle comes from Honda usually with 10w-40 mineral base motorcycle oil.

It could be a defect in your starter motor causing it to draw too much amperage

Is it going into limp home mode

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Check the starter switch. There is a hidden switch inside the starter switch. When the starter switch is pressed, this hidden switch disengages the headlight. This is to ensure that the starter gets maximum power when starting and not partially robbed by the headlight. Depending on the version, this switch would be connected to the black/red & blue/white wires.

A way to confirm is to partially jumper these 2 wires.

Good luck and thank you for asking FixYa.

250 tells my cc, only, the ATV has real name what is it. TRX250???? blown fuse bad wires or connectors kill switch bad ignition switch bad working with no manual or schematic is painful even me. I use a voltmeter and trace the power to all that end to end. has a crank or cam sensor? i see no free manuals not banned for ***** or virus packed. sorry free to find why not just buy the manual and pay $10 and the first hour labor saved pays for the manual 10 times over and call and investment grade book, keeps paying dividends.

Sounds like the battery is flat. Get it on a battery charger. Or bump start it in 2nd gear and give it a good run.

the relay has failed or wiring to it-or the starter button is history-r ur batt connecs sound-dont replace any more parts until u know
