How do you clean a Honda VTX 1300?
Start off by removing the seat and removing the gas tank. With those out of the way, remove the stock airbox cover and filter using the 5mm allen. Don’t lose the 5 plastic washers that are behind these screws as Honda gets $2 a piece for them.
Can a gas tank be removed from a Honda VTX 1800?
This procedure only applies to the ’02-’04 model VTX 1800’s. The newer (’05 and later) models have an external fuel pump which mounts in front of the rear tire and requires a slightly different process to remove.
Where are the hoses on a Honda VTX 1300 Desmog?
Trace these 4 hoses, one is the big hose that plugged into the back of the airbox, one is a vacuum line, and the other 2 go to the reed valves on top of the motor (one in front, one in back). Unplug the vacuum hose from the PAIR valve and trace the other hoses and remove them from the reed valves.

Why does my Honda VTX 1300 have white smoke out the tailpipe?
Disconnecting the pair valve wiring and plugging the intake hose will cause condensation to build up in the hose plumbing. Eventually it will fill with water and may cause white smoke out the tailpipe when decelerating (this happened on my bike). The deceleration caused the water to leak past the reed valves and into the exhaust stream.
Why does Honda VTX 1300 Desmog have scavenging effect?
There is a scavenging effect that a properly tuned exhaust has that helps with the flow of getting exhaust gases out of the combustion chamber. I have found through much testing in my building of motorcycles that the pulsed air at the exhaust port is detrimental in trying to build more HP through exhaust mods.
What kind of emissions does a Honda VTX have?
The fact is without these Federal mandated and state regulated laws, Honda probably would not have put a PAIR system or EVAP canister, catalytic muffler, O2 sensor or any of the other emission specs on the VTX. The emissions equipment on my VTX is of no benefit to it’s rideablity and makes no RWHP gains that I have found.
