Thank you!

[@conchim99]

When pressing the master link on cam chain. Do you have to press in the face place first like you would on regular drive chain ? Or only compress the 2 rivets? Thanks

[@saczek25]

Will the spring for vf1000 14514-MB6-003 fit to magna v65? The part number is different but the spring looks the same. Great video btw.

[@Adikxx]

Thanks for watching and dropping a comment.

[@marc.brunelle]

Thank you so much for making this video! Helped a bunch. I have a question if you don't mind. I have a VF750F. I'm considering taking the cams and the rocker arms out to get them reground and get rid of the wear problems on these components. There's very little info on taking the rocker arms out as opposed to the cams. Do you think it would be possible to remove the rockers from the top of the engine? I'm praying its possible and I don't have to remove the head to get to them. Tried to see how it would be possible from your video and couldn't really make it out. Keep it up! Thanks :)

[@Adikxx]

Hi bud. I'm glad that the video was helpful. I've been told by many VF1000 owners that to remove the rockers engine needs to come out. Once it's out rockers will come out fine without remowing the heads.

[@martinotalotti8986]

Very well done. Little bit complicated though, especially for you have to do two times.. really love this engine, your camshaft are perfect, do you installed aftermarket lubrication kit?

[@Adikxx]

Not on VF1000 but i have the oil mod kit on the Magna.

[@lornetontegode6986]

I was very intrigued with your video as I have to change the cam chain in my 84 VF1000f. I'm having trouble finding the chain and wondering if you could share the brand or part number. How do you feel about reliability? Some have said that you absolutely need to use a genuine chain and the one with a master link will fail.

[@Adikxx]

I used Tourmax chains and replaced both. Factory chains failed at 70.000 km so i'm not impressed with their reliability. If you don't want to use riveted chains than you need to remove the engine,then take it all apart to remove the crank to be able to replace endless chains. I wasn't prepared to do all that as i was drowning in work building another Suzuki engine. Way too much work for one man.

[@EvendimataE]

can the pin that you pushed out be used to rivet back the chain....i plan to do that with my magna 750....but there is no connecting link available for that kind of chain

[@Adikxx]

Nope. Pin gets damaged during the process. You can purchase the link here: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/392638340456?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=jB7g0RZOSta&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=MORE

Hey got a question for you on that link, and video. The chain in my v65 looks different that that chain type. Is that an issue? Thanks for the link.

[@Adikxx]

Hi, Sorry i sent you a link to VF1000F (my bike). The procedure of replacement is the same on both bikes.

[@mountainjo1024]

@Adikxx thanks, I got last one. Good timing. My rear cylinder is the noisy one. I would get the front too if they had 2. These split chains do not come up in usa searches. Is the front chain the same pn?

[@Adikxx]

@@mountainjo1024 Well done ! Yes both front and rear cam chains on the V65 Magna are the same. They're the Hi Vo type chains and part number in Honda's catalogue for those is : 14401MB4003

[@mountainjo1024]

@Adikxx thanks . If you run across another open chain for it send me link. I'll get it for the front.

[@mountainjo1024]

Can I send you a short video of my bike running , and it's engine noise. You work on these bikes. No us shops do work on these and there terrified of working on them. I can't find not one machanic who has ever worked on one. I would like your insite on the possible issue . How can I get a direct email address from u or a way to send link? You have face book?

[@TruongLe-eo8kh]

Hi, my 83 Magna v45 cam chain slapping loud during cold start but goes away after warmed up. What was the reason you chain out the chain? In the Honda magna forum, a senior member by the name of AndyMagna from Canada has a mod where you weld now anchor point for the tensioner so you wouldn't have to replace the cam chain ($99 in US). What do you think? Would this help or chain out the whole chain like your video? Thanks

[@Adikxx]

Yes it was the same with my bike. It was knocking from cold start and got slightly better when warm. Replacing the chain and tensioner's spring is the cure.

[@flatbill2]

So my tensioner bolts backed off and fell down inside... Am I gonna have to disassemble the engine?

[@Adikxx]

Try to get themnout with a magnet

[@briancrowe2027]

I have a 1984 v65 Sabre would the procedure be the same? Thanks

[@Adikxx]

Yes

[@mountainjo1024]

Where can I get a chain with the split? I need to do this to one

[@Adikxx]

Hi i pasted a link to open cam chain under your other comment. Unfortunately springs for tensioners are not available anymore. tensioners don't wear out and will be fine, it's just the springs inside it that need to be replaced but as i said springs are all sold out now at Honda's dealerships so maybe you'll find it somewhere on the internet, part number is - 14514MB6003. Most important is the new chain, if you replace that it will already be a lot better.

[@conchim99]

Do you have the part number for the spring? Where did you buy the spring and the chain?

[@Adikxx]

Spring from cmsl. Chain on ebay. Spring- 14514-mb6-003

[@cptebi]

love the video but found the music to be distracting

[@conchim99]

Why did you change the timing change? What was wrong with it?

[@Adikxx]

It was stretched and worn. Chain was knocking on the covering bracket.

[@conchim99]

@@Adikxx how can you tell? Can it be heard during cold start? How many miles was on your motorcycle?

@@Adikxx can you also see or feel it? Like when you have the head cover removed? I am checking the valve clearance of my bike now so I have visual contact on the chain now.
