1982 Honda VF750S V45 Sabre

Summary:

Have not seen a later model that I would swap

Faults:

Fusible link blew.

Stator failed, shorted out.

Front fork oil seal failed, leaked oil.

Drive spline in rear wheel chewed out.

Ignition switch had to be replaced.

General Comments:

I had a sheepskin seat cover made to fit, and long distant comfort is very good.

Highway pegs on the engine bar make a real difference.

The engine seems to like to cruise around 130kph when loaded with camping gear.

I have fitted new cam chains and tensioners, along with normal oil and filter changes every 5000k.

Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes

Hi, I am looking at a Sabre with 46xxx miles on it, which seems like a lot for a bike, and I noticed you have high mileage on yours. I was wondering if you ever had to rebuild the motor or anything?
