Honda VT 1100 C2 Shadow Sabre - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

you have a damaged seal replace it and you should be just fine

Question edited for clarity. Question moved from Honda Cars. In the link you will find wiring diagrams and links to the Honda Shadow forums. Relays either work or they don't and seldom blow fuses. Something is shorting to earth, and wires rubbing on the frame or another item is usually the cause. This is the wiring diagram for the earlier model and only shows two relays for flasher and starter. Not even one on the headlight. https://www.hondashadow.net/threads/wiring-diagram-shadow-spirit-vt1100c.565210/#lg=thread-565210&slide=0 ..

Kickstand switch?

Hi, Luther and the usual suspects are: 1. Severely discharged or a damaged battery should have 12.5 volts or more and be able to pass a proper "LOAD" test if necessary, you may have a preliminary reading of 12.5 volts or more but little or zero amperage the battery is faulty and must be replaced, AGM batteries fail in this scenario more so than lead-acid batteries. 2. Failed alternator/generator and or voltage regulator. 3. Loose or corroded battery terminals and or cables especially the "NEGATIVE" cable, look for loose, corroded, or broken connectors inside the cable harness at "BOTH" ends. 4. A failed main circuit breaker or ignition switch, check for loose connections and continuity. 5. Failed system and or ignition relay, check for continuity. 6. Failed ignition coil, stator, magneto, ignition/electronic module. 7. Failed CKP, CPS, CMP, MAP, TPS, or BAS sensor, corroded, loose or broken wire connector pins/sockets. 8. Throttle cables and or idle speed improperly adjusted hot idle speed should be 950 RPM to 1000 RPM. 9. Faulty neutral, side stand or clutch lever safety switch. 10. Faulty or corroded kill switch. 11. Accelerator pump damaged or not working. 12. Water or dirt in the fuel system, carburetor or filter. 13. Restricted, blocked or kinked fuel line. 14. Fuel tank empty. 15. The gas cap is not venting properly or fuel tank venting system blocked, loosen the gas cap and go for a test ride. 16. A failed fuel pump, pressure regulator and or fuel injectors. 17. Vacuum line from the intake manifold to petcock broken, cracked, or not attached, carburetor vent line plugged. 18. Needle and seat stuck closed in the float bowl. 19. Petcock clogged or damaged. 20. Lean angle switch is faulty or needs adjustment. 21. Catastrophic engine failure, perform a compression test.

Either bad battery or alternator. Check that the battery takes the charge while engine is running.

I would check the battery terminals and then starter and starter connections as well..
