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.

@@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.

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!!!!

@@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 Жыл бұрын

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.
