Not the speed I expected.

01-06 repair manual Honda VT750


This is good for models up to 08 with the exception of the drive shaft and seat. Most everything else still the same.

For some reason my computer freezes up when I try to download that pdf.

What I have on order is a Haynes service and repair manual for 1988-2009, from Amazon.

My ears are bleeding after reading the OT BS within whole thread. Lets get back to the issue. I'm really thinking your bike should pull 80 mph no problem. My '87 GSXR 750 pulls 135, granted it's a performance inline 4 but still I think 80 should be attatiable. Have you looked at the plugs ? My #1 bit of advice is always check the SIMPLE things first. Pull a plug if the plug is white, you're running lean, and maybe it could be some dirt in the fuel bowl, or you might need a slight re-jet richer. How about fuel flow ? Is there any rust in the fuel tank ? These issues could be choking off needed fuel flow. How many miles are on this bike ? Can you do a compression test ?

7000 miles. The salesman wants me to bring it in and that is what I am going to do when the weather improves. The last I rode it a few days ago was into a strong headwind and it ran between 40 and 50 mph.

Try to get the salesman to eat the cost of making the bike more rideable. You don't want a big expensive surprise waiting for you. It really shouldn't have left the lot the way it is now. At 3 times the displacement the new bike should go where a GZ would fear to turn a wheel.

I just rode her home from the dealer's shop and I am happy. I immediately noticed much more power when accelerating from a stop, before the fix she often stalled unless I poured on the gas while letting the clutch out slowly. I opened the throttle to see what she would do on the way home and the needle quickly went up to 90 before I let off.

The problem turned out to be 2 fouled plugs; and what I thought was oil dripping from the exhaust was unburned fuel.

I was not charged anything, and they even cleaned her up nicely!

By the way, the place was crowded with people looking at bikes, and several families looking at 4 wheelers.

Glad she is running right.
