I see some of you guys also have V65 Magnas in the garage. Any chance one of you could post he carb float height specs (1983) for me from a manual you may have? I went to the VF/V65 board but they are not as easy to read and very hard to search on. This board is the shit. Easy to search...

Thought you might like to see what sitting for a couple of years will do for ya. I found this in the air cleaner on a 1983 V-65 Magna. Fully 2/3 of is completely blocked off. Lot's of nuts in the lower air cleaner box too. In addition, the clutch was dry as a bone, cleaned the master reservoir...

Well, I'm going to look at a 1985 XV1000 Virago today to get in the wind for the summer after the Max Grenade episode. I have a question for you all. The owner states that it runs great but after about 20 minutes, starts to smoke. He seems to think its valve guide seals. I don't recall that...

If you have anything on this list, please contact me. #3 connecting rod .25 over size piston(s) .25 over size rings Thanks

I've got an extra vacum port on the left front carb, over the throttle cable plate, under the vacum chamber cover, points down and back about 45 degrees. No hose for it that I can see. Nothing said about it in the manual. 1985 model. Should I just cap it or what? :ummm: Thanks

I don't know where this goes. I've looked all through the manual and find no mention of it. It has no paint so I think it's an internal part but ?????:ummm:

Can't seem to find it on the parts fiche on-line. Anyone know the part #

What's the best product to apply to the head gaskets when installing? I'm using OEM gaskets. Both the motor I tore down and the heads I purchased had some sort of black, silicone like, material on them. I figured you guys would know what works best to seal the heads to the block. Thanks Paul

Looking for spring and bolt for pivot on center seat. Posted ad in wanted section but thought might get more exposure here. :th_11: Thanks Paul

My girlfriend got me a wonderful present for Christmas this year. She hinted that it was a "three piece set". I was stumped for a couple of weeks :ummm:but pleasantly surprised by a brand new seat for Mr. Max. What a doll. :eusa_dance::clapping:

I'm looking to purchase a stock size replacement sleeve for my scooter. Anybody know of a vendor or supplier. My bike has been apart for over a month and the wait is killing me slowly. :bang head: Thanks:th_help:

Hey guys, anybody know the name of the English firm that builds electrical components for Jap cycles. I think it was Electrotech or Electronex or something like that. I have a friend who just purchased his first m/c, (honda nighthawk 650) but his ignition box is fried. I put one of these English...

Where is the best (least expensive) place to get oversize pistons. I read on another thread where someone got them for 45 apiece. The sight I usually use are 63 + 35 for rings. That's 380 + shipping. Pretty steep for a poor mechanic. I need 1 step oversize, looks like some water was in #3, got a...

Hey, my 85 doesn't have the T1 mark or any mark for that matter on the flywheel. My manual is 1995 so I'm not sure if they changed the marks or what. I need to pull the heads off for rings or more and don't want any problems with cam timing upon re-assembley. I see a valley partially around...

Anyplace besides the stealership to buy top end gasket sets? :ummm:

Looking for kits to rebuild my stock 1985 carbs. CarbKitCapitol on E-bay only sells one at a time to drive up the pricing. Good for them, bad for me. Would gladly pay for quality kits but can't seem to find them on-line. Don't want to piece together at the dealer. WTF this seems like a very...
