สิ่งที่ผู้ซื้อควรรู้

💡

V4 Performance Cruiser

The Magna offers genuinely sporty performance in a cruiser package, making it a strong choice for riders who want highway confidence without sacrificing style. Used examples are typically affordable and hold up well mechanically when properly maintained.

⚠️

Carburetor Fuel Delivery Issues

The four carburetors are prone to varnish buildup and jet clogging after sitting unused, requiring thorough cleaning or rebuilding. Inspect fuel lines and petcock diaphragms carefully, as cracking and leaks are common on aged examples.

🔧

Valve Clearance Check Critical

The V4 engine requires periodic valve clearance inspections every 16,000 km, which can be labor-intensive due to the compact engine layout. Cam chain tensioners should also be inspected, as worn tensioners can cause noticeable engine noise on higher-mileage units.
