What model?
Check the fuel pump relay.
To check most transmissions on Honda motor cycles you check engine oil. They have a liquid clutch that are in the crank case oil.
The 1100 has what is refered to as a wet clutch. The same oil that is used for the motor oil is used for the transmission. Because of this it is very important to use oil that is labeled "Wet Clutch Compatable". You can get this through your Honda dealer or motorcycle shop.

About 3.5 to 3.7 quarts.
Water cooled.
The fastest production motorcycle in 1985, backed up by the G. book of world records, was the 1985 Honda v65 Sabre.(1100 cc's)
A good quality 10w40 oil is good. Check with your local Honda dealer.
The Honda Shadow 1100 has hydraulic valve lash adjusters and for this reason no valve adjustment is required. None is mentioned in the manual. But if the valves have gone bad, they can be replaced. This is a job for a skilled and experienced motorcycle mechanic.
It all depends on how you drive, but look at around 35 to 40 mpg.
