How do you check the oil level on a 1983 Honda V45

I just did this. You need to remove wheel, rear fenders, battery and battery box, rectifier, unhook all fuel lines to it and it pulls out the back. There's also 1 bolt above the battery box to remove that holds it in. I also found a youtube video on how to do it. Not as bad as it sounds.

I have a 83 Sabre V45 which had the same problem. I removed the top covers of all carburators, and found 1 diaphragm had a hole in it. I replaced it, and everything worked fine. Hope this helps.

alternator...battery has just enuff juice to power lights but not enuff to operate starter... more than likely the alternator

Hello,

Have you checked to see if the clutch lever is working properly? If the clutch stays engaged, the bike won't move. You can lubricate the clutch cable by removing it and taping a cardboard cone to the housing and pour a lightweight (30w) motor oil into the cone. Next, move the cable back and forth for a minute or so so that the oil will flow down inside the cable.

If the clutch cable is working correctly then then clutch plates are not disengaging when put into gear. Try different gears to see if it does the same thing. Also, have you changed the oil in the bike? Your bike uses a wet clutch system which means that the oil you put in the crankcase is also used for your clutch plates. Using a synthetic oil will cause problems with your bike (according to Honda).

Hopefully this will give you a few more ideas to try. If you need more information, please post a reply/comment and I will get back with you.
