1984 honda v30 magna drive sprocket torque specs
Gone is the speed pickup that was coupled to the drive sprocket mounting bolt head. Gone is the radiator cooling fan thermatic switch now control by the ECM engine temp inputs. Reduced electrical loads due to the LED headlights. R/R is a greatly improved, efficient microprocessor controlled mosfet regulator. Have not heard of a single 8gen stator failure yet! All the electrical issues that plagued the 5th and 6gens appear to have been resolved. Turn Indicator and Horn switches have swapped positions! Will drive you crazy initially BUT once you get used to it it's great, your thumb is right next to the indicator switch where it should be. Auto cancelling turn indicators.ok once you get used to them! Whilst not essential but nice to have, gear position indication.
Front brakes are dual radial mounted 4 piston fixed calipers. Non linked with ABS, (Australian 6gens were never the ABS version) Far better brakes with larger diameter 310mm front rotors. Simple adjustment knob for rear suspension preload. Mirrors are better and are far less prone to being elbowed out of position by some peanut walking by your bike too closely. Greater storage room under the pillion seat especially with the rear cowl in use. Rider seat has adjustable hi and low position. A nicer slimmer look due to the side radiators being moved to the front. Lighter weight (by almost 30lbs) and has a more nimble feel to handling and steering, gives you more confidence in the twisty stuff.
New cam profiles, engine compression slightly increased to 11.8 : 1. The 8gen has slightly smaller tank capacity and a nicer more streamlined shape the greater fuel economy far exceeds any loss of fuel quantity. Go on, I'd be interested to hear why its so much better than the 6 th gen one. I am thinking about an 8 th gen one especially as they are being discontinued.
