I just picked up the same bike recently and it was missing the battery side cover. I found only one on ebay in the same color. I bought it for $120. I was broke but bought it anyways. Cool Video.
This was a great video. Have a 1985 Suzuki Madura, 700cc V4. These bikes are fast and comfortable and look good. High center of gravity leaves a lot to be desired. Sounds awesome too
As mechanic for over 35 years number one upgrade is oil kit to get filtered oil to cams. Oil comes from transmission and wears out camshafts prematurely.
im on my second set of 712's.never had an issue with them.seem to wear well.but the 230's i had cracked up horribly in 4 to 5 years.but barely wore at all.harder compound?
Question where are u findin ur parts at.. i have a 84 and i cant find hardly anything i need? I wnat to change the exhaust majorily but when u changed urs did u have to re-jet? Some folks tell me yes some say no
That’s my most asked question and unfortunately there arnt a lot of places you can find new parts. A lot of the parts I’ve put on the bike have been used or “universal parts”. As far as jetting goes, it seems fine, I’m gonna wait till I put on my new slip on and get some new spark plugs and recheck everything! I’ll make a video about it when I do!
Not really! I haven’t changed any jets yet! I’m going to be doing a full service video on the bike soon! I’ll get some spark plugs and see if I need to change jets and then when it warms up I’ll make a video talking about what I’ve found with the exhaust swap!
Honestly, Facebook market place. I found my 4 into 1 from a guy 2 hours away and it came with a bunch of other stuff. I’ve been able to find windshields and other parts bikes. Unfortunately you are right parts are really hard to find!
@@OlsonsGarage i have two v65 videos on TH-cam. Custom magna burnout and v65 Sabre burnout. Please go watch them. I restored both of those bikes in 2005
@@OlsonsGarage also i did a stock exhaust vs Kerker exhaust comparison on a bike dyno. The stock pipes make more power than a Kerker. Stock was 118.3. Kerker was 106.1. Both on the Sabre motor.
you missed 1 very good upgrade, this upgrade would be the best investment u can make, take ur honda, this works with any honda, take your to to the dump , and toss it, go get a real bike, even a little moped would be a major upgrade

U just got my first motorcycle yesterday. 1985 Honda magna 700. Bought it off my older brother. So far it’s so awesome!
That’s awesome! Congrats! Ride safe!
@@OlsonsGarage thanks man🫡you too 🤙
Got one last year. Super nice bike. Faster than one would imagine for a 700.
Right on man! I also own an '85 750cc. (Up in Canada) Mine's chopped up and 'Rat rodded'

Nice!! They are kinda hard to come by. I bought the bike with both sides and my first ride it flew off. Aw well
This was a great video.

Thank you! Yes cool and fast but handle like a skateboard with a brigs bolted to it
Why?
@@Xpunkpro Doesn't corner very well. Also if you mess up low speed in a parking lot, if it's going down there's no stopping it.

Will do I’ll look into it! Thank you!

@@timkis64 thanks for the input! I have heard that about the 230s. I ended up putting a 777 on the front and I’m still burning up the rear!

Notice any improved gas mileage by chance, with the new exhaust?

@@OlsonsGarageSweeet! Thanks bro!
First off, Where are you finding any aftermarket parts for the Magna. LOL!
I've had to make everything myself so far. No one makes crap for this bike.
Honestly, Facebook market place. I found my 4 into 1 from a guy 2 hours away and it came with a bunch of other stuff. I’ve been able to find windshields and other parts bikes. Unfortunately you are right parts are really hard to find!
Bro you're 40 years late.
Sadly you are right! It’s hard finding parts for this thing! But I found a clutch!

@@mikepierce4739 really? The stock made more power! The kerker was a 4 into 1?

I'd love to know your definition of a "real bike" and I'll go ahead and tell you why it probably sucks ass
I think you might be sleeping on the Magna. Other than the suspension kinda sucking, it’s a really fun bike and it’s a rocket!
@jimmyjames1807. You must be a scrapper. What kind of bike do you ride? A Red Rider Tricycle? Lol. Keep your trash on your own channel.
Trashing a Bike that red lines at 10K from the 80s. Brilliant.
So what you are REALLY saying is a honda rider bangs yer mom? 😂😂 stay mad little girl
