The V65 should run on 3 to 4 bars, When stop & go traffic it will run 5 or 6 unless you have installed a fan switch so you can turn the fan on, If it ever hit 7 shut it down but 4 should be right on the right temp, I have never seen a V65 run only 2 bars, Something was not right causing this.

SOURCE: my honda v65 magna runs hot in stop and go traffic

V65s are notorious for running hot in stop and go traffic as it has a liquid coolant system and no cooling fins on the heads or cylinders. An easy fix is to wire in a switch to turn on your electric radiator cooling fan and switch the fan on and leave it on when you are riding in town.

I have a 84 V65 Magna. When I get on the throttle in 1st & 2nd gear, it clunks (like it's skipping). It only happens only in 1st & 2nd gear. What's the problem?

I use to have the same exact bike. Mine did the same thing. My problem was in the transmission. In mime it was the teeth of my first and second gear were damaged. The bike was too old to invest the money to fix it.The person who owned it before me had miss shifted alot.I did it once and that put the icing on the cake.

Temp guage is not reading

I don't think the 2 have been synchronized, i.e. the thermostat and the temp gauge as if they for different manufacturers products. As a result your fan is always running no matter what the engine temp is, so I guess the thermostat is either faulty or it has not been installed properly.....sodeep

Honda V65 magna. Will run fine for about 20 min then stalls.

Check your pick-up coil, I'll bet good money it's the culprit.
