Question: Saw this craigslist ad for an 84 Sabre looked like a good deal but wanted your guys thoughts. Says it needs a new rear shock soon (he said that through text) if so how complicated is that and how much to replace? Is this a good deal for price and everything? Let me know.
I used to have a V65 Sabre. It was a great bike, but it developed three problems that are somewhat common on the V65 Sabre and Magna:
1. Noisy top end. Excessive cam wear caused by insufficient lubrication. Holeshot.com has a kit to add more top end lubrication.
2. Weak 2nd gear.
3. Cracked fork brace.
You can google for more info on those weak points.
