1982 Honda Magna V45 final drive problems. What's wrong?

1982 Magna V45: I hear naughty noises from the driveshaft or final drive bevel gears. See what I find in this video.

I enjoyed the video and learned a lot. I have a 1985 V65 Magna with too much lash/free play. I can push the bike back & forth 3.25" in 1st gear, engine off and it squeals at each end of travel. Can't wait to see what I find this weekend. Might need shaft and diff.

It's called a torsional damper. You have the function described correctly.👍

[@MotoRestoFL]

Thanks. That makes sense.

Great video. You speak like a surgeon, of which I work with everyday.

[@MotoRestoFL]

Thanks. Although I'm not a surgeon, I play one on TV... not really. Again, thanks.

I borrowed that from AvE here on KZbin, if you like that you'll really like this vernacular. Thanks!

Subscribed; I like what you've done here; good viddy~! Cool to see the guts of the drive shaft. I didn't catch it before, but the 90cc of Gear Lube goes in the rearward end of the the shaft area. The part where you used your press to dissect it. Loved that part; now I know what it looks like without having to be curious about a potential noise problem there. No wasting my time and getting myself in (another) pinch. TY Moto~!

Thanks for watching and commenting.

Bro I want to come hang out in your garage and check out that side car. Sadly a Magna is not what Id call a cross country bike.

[@MotoRestoFL]

No kidding. It was never designed for such when I set it up. I have taken it across Florida and back a number of years ago, that beat me up pretty good. The Concours is for long haul riding.

I got parts for sale for a 83 v45 magna.

What do you have?
