The brakes could use an upgrade, but overall this is in my opinion one of the easiest bikes to work on and own, considering the age and value ratio. My wife is scared of it and I am too, but that is the fun. When you get this bike past 4,000 rpms, it really throws you off the seat. I love the Mad Max cruiser look, but it runs like a crotch rocket. Let's start with the biggest, which in Honda's case means the Gold Wing and its. This bike is the second bike I own the other is my wife's cruiser. Those holes are V30 MAGNA gone, filled in 1984 with spectacular machinery. The accelerator cable broke, and was easily replaced. The carborators needed cleaning, and it was difficult with the V-4 design getting them back on the bike.

The seat is cracked in many places, and I am going to re-upholster it. The front brakes were locked up, so I just sanded the pistons a little and cleaned up the inside of the caliper, and it is cherry now. The shift shaft seal leaks oil, but not badly. Ok, so Im in a process of looking for a new bike, my old 2013 CBR250RA died this. Good at commuting, throw a.20 posts cMFEC05.jpg. I fixed the problem by replacing the seals in the forks, which were 12 dollars. Shaft drive IIRC, less maintenance for you. When I first bought the bike, I noticed that the front forks were leaking fluid. It really comes into its own after about 5000 RPM - takes off like a rocket.

Rating sample for this Honda bike Value for money for the 1984 Honda V30 Magna: (78.5 out of 100) Click here for complete rating. The V4 is so silky-smooth, it surprises you with its power. And check out the rating of the bike's engine performance, repair costs, etc. Brakes could be a bit better - a rear disc brake rather than drum would have been better. Love the handling and the bike is very comfortable. If cut, a fiber optic core in the plug-in steel cable lock operated a self-powered alarm. It accelerates like a modern liter bike - the power that the V4 500cc motor produces is amazing. Otherwise, the Honda V65 Magna was well equipped: ComCast alloy wheels, TRAC anti-dive fork, self-cancelling turn signals, gear position indicator, taillight failure warning light and Honda’s Fiber Optic Integrated Lock anti-theft system (FOIL). In my opinion, they were the best looking bikes that Honda ever built. I knew that I would never own a V65, since I would probably kill myself on it, but the V30 has that classic bad boy "power cruiser" look that made the Magna bikes famous back in the mid 80s.

My dream bike since 1983 when I was a senior in high school was the Honda V65 Magna. Marketed as the most powerful midsize custom at the time, the VF500Calso known as the Magna V30brought Honda’s latest V4 mill to the cruiser segment.They also drained the coolant and added fresh. Took a trip to the local Honda dealer to get those items fixed, but other than that, just a battery was all it needed. Clutch master and slave cylinders were shot. The bike sat for 3 years since it was last on the road, so the carbs were gummed and rusted up when I bought it from the previous owner.
