- Finally we get 'The One Piece' running on all 4 all the power, sorry about the last part of the ride video, I knocked the camera down when I closed my lid, but the sound is awesome and the Bike is stunning
Nice find. I have the brother of the Magna. The V65 Sabre. Had to get a parts bike for backup parts. Be safe on that beast.
Yeh, I am trying to be good, but when you wind that throttle these monsters really move :)
Appreciate all your efforts getting this fine machine in proper running order with all details in getting there, thank you for sharing.
You are welcome, glad you found it useful
This was my first bike. I really miss it. Definitely want another
Hell of a first bike :) don't think my ass would have let me ride one of these first :)
as an inexperienced magna owner i feel these videos are seriously invaluable. thanks for the ongoing series and congrats on getting it acting like a real v65! got back from a 60 mile ride today and looked back in my garage positively beaming at how fun these bikes are.
I was giggling like a schoolgirl every time I twisted the throttle - power is insane, closest I can remember to this was my Blackbird we used to call those 'Dial-A-Speed' as you never really needed to change gear, just twist the throttle and full power, this bike feels the same. I have a V45 too which for a 750 has plenty of poke, but this bike, well lets put it this way, any doubt I had about getting a new rear tyre - gone, with this much power I want the peace of mind of having fresh sticky rubber
@@ThatOldHonda Oh really! That sounds so NICE to have that power! Oh man I love your ideas and video TODAY!
@@RogerDiotte Did you hear the back wheel spin in 4th, I thought it was the clutch slipping at first, but no, this thing will spin the back wheel in pretty much any gear - new tyre time I think :) Glad you liked it,
@ThatOldHonda No way I didn't hear that but going in for another look-see-hear! I kind of envy you, let me rephrase this, I worship you know! 🙏 I'd certainly take you up on offer to have a ride! Keep posting your antics of anything btw k.... you certainly have a knack going for you and at times I'm astonished what your accomplishing with just a small front driveway and brick driveway for a work bench Holy.
@@RogerDiotte Goes to show, anybody can do this, if you can build Meccano you can rebuild a bike :) I do soooo much wrong, learn from it and try again, a lot of the time I try to cut corners so I can actually get to go and ride them, but usually that means I will be fixing them again the next day :) Jobs on the current list - fork seals on the V65, throttle cable on the wife's CM125, Clutch on the V45, chain and sprockets on the CM250T (and at some point a full restoration of the CM250T) oh yes and at some point I need to build a workshop....
Great ! Thanks a lot for another well detailed demonstration on "how to". The hint about the rubbers away first is gold +.
One Piece (alias 10000 things) is happy now. And Old Honda mAn too.
I'm strictly involved into clearing my VT500 for an engine removal. The torn off screw at the cam bearing is fixed. And believe it or not, I also got the valve covers off without removing the entire engine. New gaskets wilco. Some O-rings still missing. Soon they'll be on the way. BUT, guess what, I have a hole in the frame where the brake pedal is mounted. Rust never sleeps. It goes all the way through from lateral to medial. Either hard solder or welding will be done. The Specialist said "zero problem for save stability when done.
Also props to the camera operator 👏. Always close to the point.

Yesterday we pulled it out. The fun job will be to put it back in. That's fosho. Playing it cool is best. Maybe you can do a vid. about the fork dismantle for the new sealing rings 🤩
Keep at it buddy, VT500 is a nice ride
@@farrider3339 Will do
I have 2xv65 .One is this 84 vf1100c and one is 84 v65 Sabre ( ken Kaplan guiness record colours ).. I use the Sabre as my Sunday ride . Haven't got magna on road yet. It was parked up for so many years that the brake fluids etc were badly clogged up even though the engine is running. It has 24,000 on the clock .it was never taxed in Ireland so I am the first . Hope to get it out on the road soon !
You just never see these any more, the road is full of 1970's CB750's, the Barn that this came out of also had a V65 Sabre and a Bol'Dor, I should have bought both of those too. Chap at A14 Salvage who sold me this one almost didnt buy the bikes from that Barn as they are outside his usual age range, glad he did, the Sabre was stripped for parts and the Bol'Dor shipped to the US
Minus the back rest and mini rack, that is my exact bike-even the color
I am looking for a backrest and mini rack, I have a backrest on my V45, was thinking of moving it over 😁
@@ThatOldHonda I dont think the v45 backrest fits the V65, not 100% tho
Those little screens are how i got my 750vt for 350 bucks. Cleaned out carbs, and thing purrs.
Yeh, I felt a little silly when it dawned on me what the problem was
@ThatOldHonda you should seen my face when I opened the seat up! I had no idea it was a screen at all! I thought mine were chunky rust pieces or something, until it started crumbling off.
@@jeremyhall134 Mine was more of a Homer moment, was just sitting there thinking of the fuel flow.... wait, isnt there sometimes a little filter behind the.....Doh!!!!!!!
Had 2 of these and had a lot of fun except for the poor oil circulation at the top end. Cam system had issues on both of them. Have a cool pic of my last one sitting beside my new (at the time) V-Max
well done my man, keep up the good work and look forward to the next video
Thanks, glad you are enjoying this
And what a fantastic video tutorial !
Thanks man, people keep telling me that doing carbs on these is hard, it isnt hard, takes a while yes when you start completely stripping them down for cleaning, but just getting the carbs off.. 20-30 minutes tops, glad it was useful
I have a 30 year old 1400 intruder I'm trying to pluck up the courage to clean the carbs on it . It had the original tyres on and both were cracked
Nice machine
@@ThatOldHonda thanks just very heavy and thirsty
I have a1984 v65 sabre. I didnt realize the magna had a faux gas tank like a vmax.The sabre has a standard gas tank
The magna has both, its not a faux tank, it has the aux tank simply to give you a reserve (has a sensor in it) without a tap - the main tank has a huge hose going from it to the reserve and a vent tube
OMG that's carb intake filters LOL...........OMG! I have 8 of these BRAND new on my bench here lol I can donate 2 lol! WOW they DEFINITELY need replaced!
See, you start with good intentions 'Oh I wonder if SeaFoam (not snowfoam as I said in the video) will clean out that bad gas varnish but you dont think where it goes when it has been 'cleaned out' of the tank
Yeah, I just check a rebuild kit on-line. They show the little baby filters...
Great, I will ask you next time I dont know what to do :)
@@ThatOldHonda it's an educational thing....I know you know. But not everyone knows...two things, one they are available. And a simple way to understand or help to understand design is to have a look at a parts break, down via online resources. I'm considering one of these bikes and the fact that they're almost 40 years old, Knowing of parts availability, is a part of the decision making process, for me anyway. No need to be sarcastic 😉.
@@raynic1173 Apologies, wasnt meant to be sarcastic. I am always willing to learn and I know I make a lot of mistakes, but you are seeing my learning process, I dont not post video's because I make mistakes, I share that - example, on early video for the V65, I put it in gear and sat on it and rocked it to turn the engine over - then forgot to take it out of gear, put it on its side stand, and bridged the starter solenoid with a screwdriver and it shot off its stand and crashed onto the floor and broke the indicator - but I then video'd me telling everybody what I had done. I am learning on camera, I need people to tell me what I am doing wrong. Some stuff I know how to do and have learned, others, I just take em appart and figure it out, so I do appreciate your comments and yes I do have the manual I use it all the time.... kind of, I like the challenge of figuring it out and sometimes I get it wrong :)
Plus CMSNL is awesome :) I use that all the time
@@ThatOldHonda now that's a funny story...launching it off the stand..oh my 😂.
That'll be me for the front jacking point and ty.
What did you clean the reserve with on the bike? Muriac acid, vinegar...and how good it did come up?
Muric acid may be the answer, what seems to be in there is bad fuel dried and stuck to the sides. Evapo-rust didnt touch it, household oven cleaner did, I still need to dismantle the back end and take the aux tank out and do it properly as I am still getting some dirt in the new filter, just wanted to prove the engine was good and it was just a fuel starvation issue, gonna ride it around for a while, keep cleaning the filter for now and just see how it goes, I suspect it has to come off and as you say something a bit more lethal put in to dissolve the residue
That Old Honda Man ;). Great videos. Respect and appreciation. Please assist. My Tako/ Rev counter is not operating. Could it be the electronics as apposed to the instrument? Thanks. Dennis
Hey, not much to this circuit, but essentially it runs from one of the CDI's, so assuming you have spark at all 4, you should have a signal to the rev counter - check connection/plug on the CDI, clean them with contact cleaner, I would however suspect the instrument, the good news if you need a replacement is rev counters are normally much cheaper than speedometers. you can check the signal with a meter at the rev counter end to see if you are getting signal to the gauge
@@ThatOldHonda Thank you for that. I have just got back to this post and will be checking your ideas this weekend. I will place feedback. Appreciated. Should I need to replace the rev counter, any suggestions?
@@dudemakingtracks Assuming you are in US there are loads on ebay for around $50 - but check your spark first, you would be surprised how many people I have helped who thought they were running on 4 but had a CDI fault and once running on 4 found a whole new bike hiding inside the one they thought they had - if this thing isnt pulling your arms off on acceleration, something is wrong :)
my friend rode my v45 magna and called it the animal
then he rode my dads v65 and called it the monster
I have both a V45 (and it is an animal) and a V65 and I agree it is a monster, if you wind it on hard it bucks like a mule, either rear tyre spins or front end comes up and there is no stopping it, you just hang on for grim death
Is that a hole worn in the top of the air box from the tank? Does it make wizzing sound..😂 😂
erm,,,, no and no?
Just pray you don’t break that airbox on the carbs. 😭
Done that :( took a piece out of this one, you have to be sooooo careful - Don't do what I do lol or do it very carefully
@@ThatOldHonda oh yes broke it before. It was a bitch to fix
@@VoodooViking I got lucky the bit that broke off was outside the sealing surface, gonna just JB weld it back on next time I have the carbs off
@@ThatOldHonda also the boots on the inside are damn near impossible to find. I had to rig some pvc pipe to replace them. Just an idea if you ever need to do that. And I’m pretty sure when I go to buy another I’ll have to do the same or buy a cnc and make fresh ones.
So do I get to take it out now 😁
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha oh my aching sides
Me too please!
@@RogerDiotte Me first please :)
@@ThatOldHonda You win! Lucky DAWG!
wouldn't be easier to reference the manual?
You can try using the manual if you want to struggle :)
We have a 84. V 45 saber. And a 84 v 65 saber
Nice!!!!
