I am puzzled about whether I should buy the Rebel 500 or Rebel 250 as my first bike.(I live in Japan and they told tell 300 here)

I went 300 for price used and because insurance is 22 a month full coverage. Plus i liked the weight.

VERY CAREFUL heat gun removal of the product liability BS stickers on the fuel tank. I suggest removal of those for a MUCH better aesthetic. I doubt it will damage the classic value of the bike as long as kept maintained, clean, running, and safe. My 2004 1100 Spirit was also kept inside a conditioned space. I purchased it in 2011 for 3500 bucks (US) with 5,600 miles on the odo. Now, in 2024, it needs fork seals and that is all. On my 3rd front and 2nd rear tire since purchase. Now with 18,000 miles. We did a refresh on the carbs a year ago too. It still looks and runs perfectly. I know some folks with Harleys who keep a Shadow around for local riding.

Hello love your videos just wanted to ask where did you get your handlebar extenders ?

Trying to get my 2000 Sabre back on the road, starts but needs fuel system cleaning

Could you get any more lube spray on the tire??

If that's a 04 I got the same bike but purple flames and all. Torque monsters

Thank you for the great video! :)

Would you know what size the drain plug washer is? 14mm 20mm.

Plain and straight, very good.

I have recently purchased an 1100, getting ready to do maintenance, thanks for the video.

Jesus died on the cross to pay for your sins, He was buried, then rose again the third day. Hell is real we all sin. Put your faith in Jesus Christ alone to save you. Trust in what He did for you.

Royal Enfield Meteor beats it, hands down. The seating position is MUCH more comfortable.

It is a great Bike

Love mine❤

A nightmare for passengers, this is a single person bike.

Put thread lock on the mirrors and they won't vibrate out of place.

Hey I have an important question. I just bought a 1997 Honda shadow spirit vt1100 and It has that hissing sound. Is that normal or is that an exhaust leak? I'm worried it's am exhaust leak because I don't know much about Honda spirits

Yeah ima cut em and zip tie em on

Hi do you think that would be a good first motorcycle? I’ve never ridden before and want to get a motorcycle

At the risk of sounding dumb (I'm new to this) my maintenance manual says I'm not due for a new filter for quite a while but that I should do an oil change. Should I only be doing the drain and fill or do you recommend I still replace the filter anyway?

How did you like the synthetic in comparison?

Was he crying?

Stock?

so how was the oil? Synthetic worked better?

Hi, I'm adding coolant to my 500 for the first time (but not draining). Do I add coolant through the radiator cap or straight into the reserve tank?

That helped. Thank U.

My only issue is they stopped the 1100 production in 07 and now parts are hard to find

was this filmed in barrie? at 2:22 my job is that building to the right lol. what are the odds

Yes Thank you this is what i was searching for. The reverse seating though made it hilarious and like someelse said a lot of weight on the rear instead of front wheel

Great job on the video. I am torn between the 500 or 1100. Pretty much just going to ride around town and in the country.

As a fat middle aged man that just wants to go 30 mph on country roads is the 300 a better option over 500? Idk

Fuel injection is GARBAGE

Is 6' 10" too tall for these bikes?

I always hear people say you need to start small but that’s completely ridiculous. In my opinion. I started at 1100. It was my very first bike. And it ruined me, Every time I jump on a smaller bike I’m like what is this trash? It seems like a toy. It took me a little while to get used to driving a dirtbike because I’m used to letting off the clutch and the bike starting to drive away and on a 250 dirtbike if I let the clutch out at the same speed, the bike died.

My picks (if you have the money) - for comfort Windscreen Bar risers Seni fwd controls Mustang seat Burleugh shocks Wider foot pegs/floorboards Just to name a few

Only thing it needs is a vance and hines slip on exhaust and a sissy bar on the back and it looks exactly like my dream bike.

Stock seat blows!

Hey, what’s up! I also have 1995 Honda Shadow 1100 And I’m going to change the oil for the first time and I would love to know your opinion about engine oil! Is that any big difference between 10w30 and 10w40 and what type should I get for this bike? Thank you tho!

amazing video thanks but the only thing is when you clean the chain wach out that you put some carton in frond of the wheel so you can protect it :) thanks again for the infos <3

Beautiful bike. Great owner history. 6100 kilometres for $4000. Wow. 👍👍

I just bought my girlfriend a 2024 rebel 500. I’m 6’3” 240lbs and just rode it 50 miles back home on the interstate. I was kind of terrified because how easily that bike is blown around. My usual ride is a vtx 1800. But by the time I got home and got off the interstate it wasn’t bad at all.

This seems to be marketed toward women. I only ever see women riding them. But I’d love one.

is there passenger seats and footpegs from the beginning or do we have to buy and install them? Can you please confirm that here?

Thumbs down. 👎 You don’t show removing the tabs or uncoupling the red connector. Details matter.

I liked this video. I was thinking of installing the tender leads on my rebel. It looks like it shouldn't be too hard.

Take the sticker off

Looking for a quiet exhaust

1,000th like! what do i win? :)

What about the crankshaft oil
