I am just an ordinary guy with a specific set of skills learning how to repair, rebuild and DRIVE anything from motorcycles and cars to lawn mowers and dishwashers. If it breaks, I will most likely try to fix it.
Do we RIDE on this channel?? Sure will!! As soon as i get these motorcycles running and road legal!
I had an 82 V45 Sabre. Engine was so smooth. Reasonable power but faster than my buddies 87 Super Magna 700, per him. For those buying, the timing chain/guides are the weak point. If you hear some rattling, that’s what it is.
So I just took my bumper off all the screws and all but there is wiring that’s connected from the car to the underside of the bumper … you didn’t give info on that … ? Does anyone know about the wiring ?
@@mcycleshawnit’s prob back up sensors ! luckily that electrical panel was held down by two plastic clips and 3 metal clips that easily removed by hand and fork tool . I just unclipped and transferred to the replacement bumper . It was easy phew . For anyone wondering it’s a removal electrical panel .
I just bought a 1982 example. Also black. Has stock exhaust like yours. I'm having a problem with it bogging out whenever I try to accelerate. Any idea what I might adjust to correct that?
@@bobadams179 usually points to main jets in the carbs being clogged. Get in there and clean the carbs all up. Also could be an air leak leaking out your air to fuel mixture. Could be a minor adjustment but most times a good carb clean would do the trick. That’s a great time to check everything as you set her back up!
@@twp_7366 normal things, breaks, carbs and electrical parts. Clutch as you mentioned. I did hear that some have issues if they sit for long periods with the aluminum heads bonding to the rings and scoring the cylinders.
Just bought one for $200. Sat in dirt floor barn at least 10 years. Starter wont engage. Although engine is free. Cleaned it up. And looking to get repaired! Pretty decent shape! Minor rust pitting on exhaust pipes.
If you don't know what you're doing then maybe don't , ya know. " Teach " others. And for those at home watching , always remember. Clean your damn bike.
Did the Sabe sell? I'd consider buying it but I'm way up in Canada bummer. I'm feeling I'd like to compliment my Honda Shadow 750 with a v4 and albeit I'd prefer a Magna but the Saber does tweak my interest.
That is a very solid question! I’m thinking we should do something different. Definitely need to finish up some projects and get organized in the shop. How about try to get the 94 Magna 750 back on the road, finish the Shadow 600 or maybe tackle an Intruder 1400 or VX800?
@@mcycleshawn I feel you. I have too many projects myself. I have a 1980 KZ1300 I been slowly working on, A Hayabusa streetfighter I been getting ready to sell and my ZX14 that I de-turboed trying to bring her back to "normal status". The ZX14 has to be one of the best bikes out there as far as comfort and long riding. Be safe man.
@@oscarperezgonzalez9203 so far I just have some leaking oil down over the engine. The engine isn’t running great but that could be another problem altogether
Why don't you just repair the speedo? You know how to do it. You have too many half finished projects. I gave up watching and unsubbed because of your disorganized style. You could have that v65 done in 2 afternoons.
I never use a branded engine flush, I use just one liter of Palm oil, maximal use 20% Palm Oil : 80% Engine Oil of capacity oil in my car, if have used 1000km to 3.000km i drain all the oil in my engine, so whats happen??my engine becomes cleaner from sludge oil, its better than a branded engine flush and safe for engine gasket not make leak oil. I have used 3 times, My Car is Nissan Maxima A32 3.000c V6 engine year 1999.
My 3 yellow wire where already chopped butttt... i was able to pull apart the connections pretty easily.i re did it and hopefully it solves the problem
Cool video. I just found your page , and subscribed. On my vt600 I put 40 slow jet and 145 main jet. I did forget to shim the needles . Mine is running great with velocity stacks. I'd like to hear your bike . How much difference in throttle response do the shims make
3 days to heali coil a stripped intake bolt so tired I forgot to get all the plugs tight from Temu got a endoscope camera for $15 not just need to make sure rear plugs are tight Want to avoid removing intake new gasket
Hey. I Have a 2012 T&C. Liftgate will not open and rear door manually won't work either. Tried all buttons. When I press on fob to open, 2 flashing arrows appear on dash. Tried both 30 amp pink cartridge fuses for door. Didnt make a differ. If the motor is shot, will the manual latch not work also?
