In this episode I am continuing working on a 1984 Honda Magna (VF700C). Everything is fixed up and reinstalled. See and hear it start for the first time after being stored broken. Join me also in my adventures on my beautiful VFR 800. We will ride together around Minnesota's metro area and explore interesting aspects of motorcycling life. Join me physically or join the channel. I will be delighted and grateful for this! Can't wait to see you soon!!!

In 1987 I purchased an '83 V45 Magna with less than 2,000 for $1,700 . It was Mint. Stored in a heated basement in the winters. I loved that bike then and still think about it even though I'm riding a '17 Breakout. Two completely different bikes.

Magnas are definitely special beasts that sadly aren't made anymore.

@johnmcaleese8459 Год назад

@@REDonVFR It was perfect for me. My first bike. I'm only 5'6"and seat height was low. Smooth ride and always thought the king/queen seats were cool. Little sissy bar and a small rack for my weekends down the Jersey shore.

I am raiding the same Magna and I am happy 5 years. My magna is from 1986 and after one season of repairing is in very good condition . I has a two weeks trip to Croatia and return to my country 5000 km over the mountains, any problems, other bike has only the stop bulb’s changing

I’d rather hear the wrenches turning and the sounds of you working on the bike than that annoying music. Had to stop the video 9 minutes in 😂. I would have muted it, but I gotta hear what you’re explaining. Great job! Thank you for saving these awesome old bikes.

@benifis64 Год назад

Author, didn't you see the DRAIN PLUG, in the form of a bolt, at the very bottom of the frame, on the left side, where the driver's left footrest is? In this model, the coolant flows inside the tubular frame!!!!

@allanmcelroy9840 5 месяцев назад

I saw that on my 84 magna V65.....WHY did the engineers do that???

@Addison0526 Месяц назад

@@allanmcelroy9840I question it too. I suppose it’s a tube anyway so why not save some space and pipes and just use the frame… must make sure it’s never just water in the coolant system though and have anti freeze with some rust inhibitors..

V4s are wonderful engines. And you have two of them :)

@DennisMerwood-xk8wp Год назад

@@REDonVFR At our shop us mechanics tried to hide when these Honda Magna's came in for work! LOL The carbs in the valley between the "V" are an absolute bitch to work on. A Nightmare. A common job was the bike had been left sitting - and the carbs all clogged up with rotting gas. I swear there are a million jets in these carbs - all to be painstakingly cleaned out. Cleaning them out was a $1,000 job.

@REDonVFR Год назад

@@DennisMerwood-xk8wp I absolutely agree about the carbs on that V4.

got magna today but i cant do anything for now..its winter the guy i bought from he said he didnt use the motor for 10 years...and it runs before...what do i need to check before start ..do i need to put lubrication in the piston?

@REDonVFR Год назад

Fogging oil in the cylinders for sure. Then take one of the covers off, to get to the nut to spin it by hand (left side I believe). If the engine spins then you're good to give it an oil change also. You may hear sucking noises due to compression buildup and release. That's a good sign.

@fairplayer916 2 года назад

How hard would you say it is to source parts? Like gaskets, filters, and even some bigger bits like the starter and whatnot?

@REDonVFR 2 года назад

Those bikes are still plentiful! I'd say we are well covered for another 5-10 years.

What's a v42?? These were 45 ci not42 ci.

@REDonVFR 7 месяцев назад

These are 698cc or 42.6ci cruiser motorcycles, unofficially called v42 and made between 1984 and 1986.

@Addison0526 Месяц назад

They were de-stroked after 1983 because the United States put a tax (pressured by Harley) on bikes 700cc and above because the import competition was smoking the domestic bikes. So they went from 45ci to 42ci or ~750cc to ~700c while keeping the same peak power and torque.
