Title: Super magna Question
Post by: L J VFR on May 05, 2008, 09:55:31 AM
Hello.... Watched a You Tube ride the other day featuring a 86' Super Magna.  This bike sounded like a bad V-8..   Does the supermagna have a 180 degree crankshaft? or is it 360 degree?  Thanks... Lance

gee....idk

I thought the 87/88 Super Magnas had basically the same engine..block, heads and crank as the 1st gen bikes with the exception of engine displacement going from 698cc to 748 cc in '88

I think the vf750 interceptor motor is the same as the vf750 magna's except that the interceptor motor has a 180 degree crank and they changed the magna to a 360 degree crank. The 180 degree crank sounds a little like a v-8 engine.  Curiosity sometimes gets the best of me... Lance
