2009 Honda VTX®1300C

Additional Features

• Convenient push-to-cancel turn-signal switch.

• 4.8-gallon fuel tank for extended cruising and touring range.
• Durable, maintenance-free 12-amp-hour battery.
• Extensive chrome finish of engine parts includes cylinder-head covers, valve inspection covers, airbox cover, left crankcase cover, clutch cover and left-rear engine cover.
• Reliable 364-watt alternator.
• Handlebar design provides a comfortable, upright riding position.
• Specially designed tank-mounted chrome housing features a speedometer, an odometer / A&B tripmeter and indicator lights for the turn signals, high beam, Neutral, oil pressure and coolant temperature.
• Distinctive, chrome-hooded headlight housing features a powerful 55/60-watt halogen bulb with a computer-designed multireflector for superb lighting in all conditions.
• Comfortably padded, large-diameter handgrips with polished-aluminum handlebar switch housings and triple-clamp assembly.

Chassis / Suspension

• Large 41 mm extended front fork provides 5.1 inches of plush yet responsive travel.
• Front disc brake features a twin-piston caliper with a large-diameter 336mm stainless-steel rotor, and rear disc brake features a single-piston caliper with a 296 mm stainless-steel rotor; together they provide excellent stopping power.
• Dual chromed rear shocks with five-position preload adjustment feature an advanced internal valve system for a comfortable ride.
• The engine's power is harnessed by a massive tubular steel frame that gives the VTX a long, low, classic stance.

Engine / Drivetrain

• Five-speed transmission with carefully selected gear ratios for exciting roll-on performance.
• Dual two-axis primary counterbalancers minimize harsh engine vibration without eliminating the powerful pulse transmitted by the VTX's traditional V-twin design.
• Sturdy clutch utilizes a rubber clutch-center damper to ensure smooth and quiet shifting.
• Drive-flange design at the final-drive gear eliminates final-drive noise and wear and simplifies rear-wheel installation.
• Two-into-two exhaust system with bullet-style mufflers for a classic custom look.
• Radiator with cooling fan maintains consistent engine temperature for optimum performance and long engine life.
• 1,312 cc liquid-cooled 52-degree V-twin delivers strong low-end and mid-range torque, with ample power for passing and relaxed cruising.
• Maintenance-free automatic cam-chain tensioners.
• Easy-to-service screw-and-locknut valve-clearance adjusters.
• Single 38 mm constant-velocity (CV) carburetor offers crisp throttle response at all engine speeds.
• Coolant-heated carburetor improves rideability and ensures smooth operation in cold conditions.

• Powerplant features a single-pin crankshaft to accentuate the engine's character.
• 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.
• Three-Valve Dual-Plug Combustion Chamber.
• Shaft final-drive system provides smooth, low-maintenance operation.
• Electronic Control Unit (ECU) provides 3-D ignition maps for each cylinder, creating ideal spark-advance settings for superb rideability.
