So I bought a 19?? Shadow, got it cheap. But it's been sitting for 5+ years (b4 i got it) Bought the book, and just started working on it. I don't really know $#it about bikes, but I'm fairly mechanical. So any way, I got the Carbs out. My friend told me there's a way to clean them without getting into the jets or anything complicated.
Can any1 tell me how? Can't really afford to pay someone to do it.
Also the title say's it's 93 but they didn't make it in Turqoise blue (which it is) in 93. Plus the VIN on the frame and engine are different how can I find out what I really have?
Does any one have experience on this bike? Or can you recommend a forum, website, etc.... where I can get some help or even cheap parts?
ANY help is greatly appreciated!
 
I believe re: carbs your friend is referring to SEAFOAM which is an additive you can get at most auto parts stores. You can put it in fuel tank and also run it through carbs and it does work like it says. You can go to youtube and do a search for seafoam or sea foam car seafoam motorcycle etc.. and it will show you a demo of it.
