Hey i have a 1997 Magna VF750C and it looks to be the exact same. Getting ready to drain the oil And replace the sparkplugs due to a no start issue. Not sure what oil i need to put back in tho...so headed to google.
No it did not need to come off. I took it off to find out what was going on with the starter clutch. BUT DRAIN THE OIL. If you dont you will get a gush of oil out the hole where the starter goes into the transmission.
I believe the starter on the shadow is on top of the transmission behind the heads, rather than the bottom of the engine. I think it would be easier to change if that is the only problem. You wont even need to get down on the floor to reach. In thes photos you can see the starter in the upper right corner of the transmission case. www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiq5fuQwurdAhWi4IMKHXA_At8QjRx6BAgBEAU&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.blinkenbyte.org%2Fmotorcycles%2Fvt700c%2Fpictures.html&psig=AOvVaw3QExmVh7ZV_k54KZ1fqdTg&ust=1538664515121757

I have a 1982 magna 750, I'm hoping that the '84 is close enough for me to give this a go after watching this clip. Thanks for posting.
Hahaha was it bud? I'm about to start my 82 today
I’m starting an 83
good luck. it helps if you get up on the center stand. or use a cycle jack. i got the wrench at home depot.
Great work sire! I have Honda Sabre that most times gives me headaches. It only starts when the engine is cold pls sir help me what do I do. Thanks
Thank you for this video
To clarify, the side cover did not need to come off to do this job did it?

Think a 83 shadow 750 would be about the same job/process?
