2007 Honda VTX™1300S

Additional Features:

• Specially designed tank-mounted chrome housing features a speedometer, odometer / A & B tripmeter and indicator lights for the turn signals, high beam, neutral indicator, oil pressure and coolant temperature.
• Electric speedometer with easy-to-read classic numerals uses an electronic speed sensor in the transmission, which eliminates the front-wheel-mounted speedometer cable. This contributes to a clean, uncluttered look.

Engine/Drivetrain:

• VTX engine is a 1,312 cc liquid-cooled 52-degree V-twin that delivers strong low-end and mid-range torque, with ample power for passing and relaxed cruising.
• Powerplant features a single-pin crankshaft to accentuate the VTX engine's character.
• Dual two-axis primary counterbalancers minimize harsh engine vibration without eliminating the powerful pulse feeling transmitted by the VTX's traditional V-twin design.
• The engine mounting system uses carefully matched hangers to eliminate unwanted vibration, while preserving the powerful character of the V-twin engine.
• Each three-valve cylinder head features two 31 mm intake valves and a large 40 mm exhaust valve to produce optimum flow for the incoming air/fuel charge.
• Simple-to-service screw-and-locknut valve clearance adjusters.
• Single 38 mm constant-velocity carburetor offers crisp throttle response at all engine speeds.
• Electronic control unit (ECU) provides 3-D ignition maps for each cylinder, creating ideal spark advance settings for superb rideability.
• Coolant-heated carburetor improves rideability and ensures smooth operation in cold conditions.
• Two spark plugs per cylinder for efficient combustion at all engine speeds.
• A unique dry-sump oil system utilizes a closed-crankcase design and places the oil tank inside the gearbox case. The result is a freer-revving engine for improved power and a lower engine height, allowing optimum rider ergonomics and a low 27-inch seat height.
• Custom chromed two-into-two exhaust system produces a deep exhaust note.
• Radiator with cooling fan maintains consistent engine temperature for optimum performance and long engine life.
• Maintenance-free automatic cam-chain tensioners.
