What kind of car is the Honda VT600 Shadow?
The Honda VT600 Shadow is pretty much the antithesis of the original chopper credo. If the first true chops were all about bad boy, bristly individuality, the 600 Shadow is about as soft, unthreatening and unoriginal as it gets.
How do you change the oil on a Honda Shadow 600?
Here’s the fresh new oil filter. Rub a bit of oil on the o-ring (on the bottom surface of the filter, where it contacts the bike) before installing it. Use the 17mm wrench (or cup wrench or strap) to spin on the new filter–it should be snug (hand tight) plus a quarter of a turn.
Which is better Honda VT600 or Yamaha XV535?
The Honda VT600 Shadow is one of the pricier bikes in the class (compared to rivals such as the Yamaha XV535) when launched and rarity keeps its value up, too. But unless you’re completely sold on the style, you’d be much better off with the better (and more plentiful) Yamaha XV535.
What kind of engine does a Honda VT600 have?
Detuned, three-valve, liquid-cooled shaft drive V-twin is about as unthreatening as a 600cc motorcycle engine gets. That said it’s smooth, effective in a commutery sort of way and rock solid reliable. Just don’t expect adrenalin overload.

Where does the old oil go in a Honda Shadow?
Since I’m in a professional shop, recycling used oil and oil filters is easy–the old oil goes in the used oil barrel, while the drained filter goes in the used filter barrel; when each is full, our hauler takes them for processing. The old oil is re-refined and used again.
