Fuel/Propulsion System · at 12,000 miles · reported Mar 18, 2014
Bought the shadow and noticed the petcock was leaking when turned on. I bought a factory petcock from honda and installed it. Now not a few months later the exact same thing. It is a faulty diaphragm that causes gas to leak onto a hot engine block. It needs to be recalled and set right by the dealers. This is a serious issue. 1- it's leaking gas, that's a pretty penny nowadays, 2- it's an environmental hazard if gas is leaking all over the ground,3- it's a fire hazard for the rider and people around should the bike decide to combust, 4- it is not a rare problem look at any 2004 and up same…

I have a 2006 honda shadow aero 750cc motorcycle. Sometime when I start it up it will run for a couple of minutes and then cut off and will not start back. This has happened 4 times now in the last year. Once while I was on the road driving and 3 times while I have had the bike running to warm up. I let it set for awhile about an hour or so and it will start back up and run good. I know that there has been a recall on some of the petcocks on our bikes. I have taken the VIN # to the dealer and had them check to see if mine was one of the ones on recall. They have said no. I have taken the…
