Thanks for commenting ! I appreciate it.

Thanks for watching and commenting, it's appreciated.

Hi bud. I'm glad that the video was helpful. I've been told by many VF1000 owners that to remove the rockers engine needs to come out. Once it's out rockers will come out fine without remowing the heads.

Not on VF1000 but i have the oil mod kit on the Magna.

I used Tourmax chains and replaced both. Factory chains failed at 70.000 km so i'm not impressed with their reliability. If you don't want to use riveted chains than you need to remove the engine,then take it all apart to remove the crank to be able to replace endless chains. I wasn't prepared to do all that as i was drowning in work building another Suzuki engine. Way too much work for one man.

Nope. Pin gets damaged during the process. You can purchase the link here: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/392638340456?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=jB7g0RZOSta&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=MORE

Yes it was the same with my bike. It was knocking from cold start and got slightly better when warm. Replacing the chain and tensioner's spring is the cure.

Spring from cmsl. Chain on ebay. Spring- 14514-mb6-003

Hi i pasted a link to open cam chain under your other comment. Unfortunately springs for tensioners are not available anymore. tensioners don't wear out and will be fine, it's just the springs inside it that need to be replaced but as i said springs are all sold out now at Honda's dealerships so maybe you'll find it somewhere on the internet, part number is - 14514MB6003. Most important is the new chain, if you replace that it will already be a lot better.

Try to get themnout with a magnet

I got the rivet link on ebay. Split it myself.

Yes

Hi, Sorry i sent you a link to VF1000F (my bike). The procedure of replacement is the same on both bikes.

@Adikxx thanks, I got last one. Good timing. My rear cylinder is the noisy one. I would get the front too if they had 2. These split chains do not come up in usa searches. Is the front chain the same pn?

@@mountainjo1024 Well done ! Yes both front and rear cam chains on the V65 Magna are the same. They're the Hi Vo type chains and part number in Honda's catalogue for those is : 14401MB4003

@Adikxx thanks . If you run across another open chain for it send me link. I'll get it for the front.

Can I send you a short video of my bike running , and it's engine noise. You work on these bikes. No us shops do work on these and there terrified of working on them. I can't find not one machanic who has ever worked on one. I would like your insite on the possible issue . How can I get a direct email address from u or a way to send link? You have face book?

I bought it on Ebay

@@Adikxx you have the link?

@@x8rs599 it says that "page expired" but i found a different one which probably isn't split so you'd have to do it yourself however they usually come with rivet link so you could still do the job fine. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/362881579456?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=jB7g0RZOSta&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=zBYgG7MlSjG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=WHATS_APP

@@x8rs599 219 FT is what i saw on my box

@@Adikxx super, thank you

It was stretched and worn. Chain was knocking on the covering bracket.

@@Adikxx how can you tell? Can it be heard during cold start? How many miles was on your motorcycle?

@@conchim99 knocking sound from the head. About 80k km

@@Adikxx can you also see or feel it? Like when you have the head cover removed? I am checking the valve clearance of my bike now so I have visual contact on the chain now.

@@MH-ks1ob in my case i could see it. Chain had excessive slack.

1000 magna? What do you mean please?

He means the V65 is the VF1100C, not 1000. There never was a 1000 Magna man! @@Adikxx The title of your video is "Honda VF1000 V65 Magna Cam Chain replacement" If you're talking about the V65 Magna, it's the VF1100C.

I never said that there was a 1000cc Magna. The title of the video means that the cam chain replacement procedure is done the same way on VF1000 and V65 Magna. @@preparedwow3173

Kindly look at what I stated. You never said there was a 1000cc Magna. Your title is misleading at best and at worse indicates you don't know what you're doing. You really should change it to reflect what you're presenting.@@Adikxx

@@preparedwow3173 with all due respect i knew exactly what i was doing. I did it well and i presented it well which helped many people out there. The title indicates what it should indicate namely the procedure of cam chain replacement on V65 Magna and VF1000F. To be honest with you i don't know what would i need to change in this title as it seems very clear to me.
