The motor can't even begin to accomplish that, so slap the largest rear sprocket you can find on the back, and prepare for a LOT more fun. It's geared for 150+ mph at redline in 6th. Treat the redline like gospel and the bike will last forever. The motor will happily spin to 15k without a load, and this is a Very Bad Thing for the wrist pins. The carborator needed cleaning so a friend of mine who has worked on motocycles and I took the carborator apart, soaked most of the parts in a part cleaning solution and put it back together. Especially don't go over redline without a load. There is no rev-limiter and this engine is NOT over-built. The only thing that goes wrong with them are wrist pins. Valve adjustments are a bear, and carb removal and reinstallation is like Evil Tetris. the V65 is plagued by a myriad of issues, the biggest being 2nd gear. If I found another one, I'd actually buy it in a heartbeat. I loved it! Plenty of power, it was light and agile, and it had good range. 1984 Honda Magna V30 VF500C Carburetor Jets & Needles Filter Viewing Products For Viewing Products For Mikuni Main Jets for HSR Carbs Mikuni Pilot Jet. Maybe you can post some pics if you decide to buy it. I wouldn't say it's suited for larger people though - small to medium sized riders would be most comfortable. It's a nice lightweight bike that doesn't mind hitting highway speeds, and still shines for in-town riding.

It does have the secondary fuel tank under the seat that uses a fuel pump since it's lower than the carbs - might want to make sure that fuel pump is operational - I believe all the Magnas had that configuration, not aware of any issues with the setup though. The V30 has chain drive and a 6-speed tranny - same as the Interceptor. The carbs are proper pricks to remove, but everything else is easy enough to work on - much friendlier than their sister bikes the Interceptors with all that damn plastic. They don't have the oddball parts issues that the V40's and V45's had - weird production changes and non-available parts for some years of those bikes.Īlso, they didn't suffer from the rear cam issue of the Interceptor 750's - something Honda should never be forgiven. They're good bikes, worth restoring if all the parts are there and functional.
