Hey there.
Question about some electronics for the V65.

Ok, the original flasher burnt out for the single lights, on the bike, and it was replaced with a automobile flasher. The original flasher has 3 wire hookup, and the auto flasher has 2 wire hookup. All the single lights work. But could someone tell me what the 3 wires are for? I think the third wire goes to a spark unit, as far as I can see in the book.

NOTHING on the dash works. The lihts don't work, the gauges don't work, the tac doesn't work and the spedometer doesn't work.

Could you guys give me any advice on this subject, that could help me?

There's 3 wires that come off the altenator. all 3 of these wires werein a plug. But 2 of the wires got so hot that the plug melted. So I took the 2 wires out, and put wired them up, outsdie the plug. the other wire doesn't get to hot, it gets warm, but that may just be from the engine. The other 2 wires get pretty hot.
Also, the rectifier get's very hot aswell.

So, could I please get some adviceon this subject, if you guys can help me, that would be most excelent

thank you for your time fellow riders,

-Chris

Anyway, you were asking about a rattling when you start your bike. Mine has the same noise. I've taken it to a couple different shops in a couple states. I've been told, and I believe them, that the noise is common for this model. It's the fuel pump. If you leave it idle for a while, it will stop, but you will hear it start up again a little later. I was told it was no big deal, they just make that noise. I've had it since I bought the bike 5 years ago and have had no trouble with it.

As far as your wiring troubles, there's nothing more frustrating than a wiring problem. If it were me, I would find a new wiring harness for the bike and replace the whole thing. Trust me, your bike is well worth any money and sweat you will eventually put into it. I ride with the Patriot Guard Riders and while I've seen several Harleys drop out of a run, my bike's never let me down. Every time I attend a rally somewhere, I ALWAYS have a Harley rider come up and ask what year it is and want to talk about it. You have a great bike there, don't band-aid it. Put the money and sweat into making it as close to original as you can. It's worth it.

Hey guys. I'm new to this forum. I just have a question about my 1984 Honga V64 Magna.
First of all I hear they are really good bikes, not sure. I heard that the cams were the weakest poinht in the engine, they seemed to ware out alot. Anyway, my bike hasn't had that rouble, I bought it at aroound 56000KM, and original cams are still in it.
Onto my question:

My bike has a bit of a noise in it. it doesn't seem to be the engine. But when I start it up, and the choke is on, the bike doesn't make a raddle. But as soon as the choke is pushed in, and the idle comes down, the bike makes an awful raddling noise. Now, I've checked it over, and what I find weird is that, the raddle disapears WHEN you pull in on the clutch. The raddle doesn't raddle when you give the bike any throttle. SOOOO, it's obviously something to do with the clutch. i want to avoid buying anew clutch, for that is expensive. Hopefully some generous human being can give me some tips to check out.

thanx for your time fellow riders.

Take care.
