2013 Honda VT750S Overview
Honda VT750S is an all-round motorcycle, displacing 745 cc. Power comes from a V2, four-stroke engine running Single Overhead Cams (SOHC) valve actuation, a compression ratio of 9.6:1. Bore and stroke come in at 79 x 76 mm. On the performance side, it delivers 62 Nm @ 3250 Revolutions of torque. On the road, the 2013 VT750S tips the scales at 232 kg, carries a 10.70-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 750 mm and spans a 1,560 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 24.5 kg heavier than the average all-round motorcycle in our database. The full 2013 Honda VT750S spec sheet below covers every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes.
2013 VT750S - Pros & Cons
Strengths
-
🔧
Fuel injection: Fuel injection means consistent cold starts and clean throttle response without the fussiness of a carbureted setup.
-
📏
Accessible seat height: A 750 mm seat height keeps this manageable for most riders, which helps confidence at parking-lot speeds.
Considerations
-
⛽
Modest fuel capacity: Range between stops is limited by the 10.70-litre tank - plan fuel stops accordingly on longer routes.
-
⚙️
Chain final drive upkeep: Budget time for routine chain maintenance - it's cheap to replace but needs consistent attention to avoid premature sprocket wear.
Wear Points & Servicing Notes
Fuelling & injector care
The fuel injection on the VT750S needs little beyond good fuel and periodic use of an injector-cleaner additive - no jetting or float-bowl maintenance to worry about.
Valve clearance checks
With Single Overhead Cams (SOHC) valve gear, the VT750S needs periodic clearance checks; caught early they're a cheap adjustment, left unchecked they accelerate valve seat wear.
Brake disc and pad wear
Braking up front comes from Single disc. Hydraulic disc with dual-piston caliper and sintered metal pads - solid stopping power, with disc and pad wear best checked on the same schedule as tyre changes.
Suspension condition on used examples
The VT750S's suspension runs 41mm telescopic fork at the front. The rear uses Dual conventional dampers with 5-step adjustable spring preload. Fork-seal condition and rear linkage play are the two things worth checking before buying used.
Final drive maintenance
The VT750S uses chain final drive, which is cheap to replace but needs regular cleaning, lubrication and tension checks to get a full service life out of the sprockets.
Frame & chassis check
Built around a Steel, the VT750S's chassis is straightforward to inspect: look for corrosion, cracks or repair welds around stress points like the head-stock and swingarm mounts.
Handling the weight at a standstill
232 kg puts the VT750S toward the heavier end of its class. It's most noticeable at walking pace; once underway the mass settles into the handling rather than fighting it.
VT750S - Buying & Maintenance Guide
What to check before buying
Before handing over money for a used 2013 Honda VT750S, cover the fundamentals: service book and oil change history, chain and sprocket wear, and any sign of oil weeping around the casings. Cold-starting it yourself tells you a lot - a healthy VT750S should catch quickly and settle into a smooth idle.
Oil and filter changes
Nothing protects a VT750S's engine like disciplined oil changes - stay on the manufacturer's schedule (roughly every 6,000 km or annually). Match the viscosity grade to what the owner's manual specifies, not what's cheapest.
Fuel system care
Fuel injection on the VT750S needs little attention beyond decent fuel and an occasional system-cleaner additive. Anything left standing for three months or more should have its fuel drained and replaced before it varnishes the injectors.
Valve clearance service
Valve clearances are easy to overlook on a used VT750S since a bike out of spec doesn't always feel obviously wrong - but the wear it causes is real. Ask the seller for documentation before assuming it's been done.
