What did Honda replace the VTX1800 with?
The Honda VTX 1800 was launched in 2001 as a 2002 model. At the time this bike was introduced the Honda VTX engine was the largest displacement production V-twin in the world, but that distinction would be short-lived as the VTX1800 was superseded in 2004 by the 2.0-liter Kawasaki Vulcan 2000.
Is the VTX1800 a good bike?
2005-09-17 2003 Honda VTX (1800) Cruisers View Listings Easily the best bike I’ve ever ridden! Very fast, comfortable, strong and very well balanced for a bike of this size. Like other postings the size was a little scary (I’m 5’6″) and heavy but my wife and I have gotten used to it and ride it anytime we can!

What makes a Honda VTX 1800 a Fi bike?
Now that has worked for Honda and many other manufacturers for years, the problem that sets the VTX 1800 apart is that it is fuel injected (FI for short). FI means this bike has a lot of electronics and sensors that carbureted bikes don’t have. Electronics need a good power source and good grounds to function.
Why is my ground eyelet not working on my Honda VTX 1800?
This includes the electronics and the electrical ground eyelets. Anyone who knows anything about electronics will tell you that it’s hard to run power through an insulator like powder coat. This means the bike’s ground points that are trying to connect through the powder coat are struggling.
Where are the electrical wires on a Honda VTX 1800?
There is no reason to be stingy with the grease because you are depending on it to provide a protective barrier around the connections, protecting them against the elements. With the coil reassembled squeeze it back under the front tank mount and into place. Don’t forget to reattach the 2 electrical wires to it, remember – black wire to the inside.
Where is the ground on a Honda VTX?
With the common electronics ground completed, doing this secondary battery ground will be a piece of cake. If you have a coolant reservoir between the motor cylinders on the left side of the bike (mostly all 05+ VTX’s) then you do not have this ground and you’re done!

How many intake valves does a VTX 1800 have?
You can tell these are intake valve adjusters because you can see the second valve adjuster under this one. The VTX (both 1800 and 1300) has 2 intake valves and 1 exhaust valve (per cylinder) that need to be adjusted. The inspection gap between the valve stem and the adjuster screw is what all the fuss is about.
