Transmission slips shifting gears
The first thing to do is get a filter and fluid change, if it still slips then you will need a new trans. The bands in the trans have become worn and can not shift in time like they should.
It is possible that my EVAP emission carburetor
If it is making a squeaking sound then the sound would be constant, more of a whistle. If there is a squeaky noise coming from the unit it is likely to be either a loose bolt or a perished seal or rubber in the valve.

1
Remove the motorcycle's carburetor and clean it with
carburetor cleaner, getting rid of any and all grime and deposits
within. If necessary, use an air compressor with a small tip to blow out
any clogged lines within the carburetor.
-
2
Check the motorcycle's fuel tank for old fuel. Drain the
fuel tank completely and refill the tank with fresh fuel. Old gasoline
isn't good for most motors, especially older ones.
-
3
Remove the motorcycle's seat by unscrewing the two mounting
bolts on both sides of the back of the seat with a 12 mm socket wrench.
Pop off the top of the air box and remove the bike's air filter. Clean
this thoroughly in hot, soapy water. Rinse it off, let it air-dry then
apply air filter oil before reinstalling it in the motorcycle.
-
4
Check the tire pressure and integrity of both tires on the
motorcycle. If either tire is flat, leaking air or overly worn, replace
the tire and tube.
-
5
Change the motorcycle's oil. Warm the bike up, then remove
the oil drain plug underneath the transmission and drain the oil. While
the drain plug is still loose, fill the oil reservoir until oil begins
to run out of the plug. This means the reservoir is full. Tighten the
drain plug.
Settings for carb float level
the air screw gets turn in fully and the turned out 2 turns this will set it right for most bikes you might have to play with it either half a turn either way
When setting the float level be aware that the spring loaded bumper on the fuel inlet needle valve may have a tendency to compress under the weight of the float assembly which will skew your measurement. Before you obtain your measurement you'll need to make sure that the float assembly tang just barely makes contact with the spring-loaded bumper. Sometimes it is easier to hold the carb body at a 45-degree angle to avoid compressing the spring in the fuel inlet needle.
If you find that your measurement does not match your float level spec then you can carefully bend the float assembly tang to achieve your desired measurement. Be sure to recheck your work, and if you feel confident that your float level is spot on then you can reinstall your carb
hope this helps

How to adjust clutch on
there is 2 spots you can adjust your clutch.
1.
on your clutch leaver there should be a tension screw where the cable
goes in if you need more clutch you have to make sure to bring the screw
out a bit
2. down on the side of your motor you will see a
cable going in there should be a sleeve covering the cable pull up the
sleeve and tighten the slack by bringing the screw out a bit.

I have 1999 honda shadow
My 2002 Honda Shadow VLX did the same thing (it is 583cc or 600cc)- I bought a longer fuel hose and bypassed the auto fuel valve that is behind the small triangular shaped chrome cover on the choke knob side above the engine, and this fixed it.
How do you check or
Remove the right hand side cover and check coolant level in the reserve tank, engine running and at normal operating temperature.
The coolant level should be between the "UP" and "LOW" lines.
If needed top up the coolant reserve tank with a 50/50 mix of distilled water and anti-freeze.
Replace the tank cap and cover.
How much oil gose in
I don't have a book on this one, however, a lot of models will put the capacity in cc's on or near the oil filler plug. If the engine is equipped with a sight glass, the capacity may be located under the sight glass. Hope this helps. (946 cc's per quart)
I put on new grips.
Trim your grips off the handlebar part of the throttle ... your grips are overlapping and holding the throttle open ... a very dangerous situation.
