1983–1984 Honda VF750F V45 Interceptor Parts Catalog (P/N 61MB203)

This 86-page PDF reproduces the American Honda Motor Co., Inc. parts catalog for the 1983 VF750F V45 Interceptor and 1984 VF750F 750 Interceptor, including the 1984 California version. It suits mechanics and restorers who can interpret exploded assembly drawings and need factory part-number references for repair planning.

Catalog Features & Coverage

• Engine plates cover the front and rear cylinder heads, cylinder block, and camshaft and valve assemblies. Cam-chain tensioners and oil-pump components have separate breakdowns.
• Crankshaft/Piston illustrations include bearing-selection charts, color-coded main and connecting-rod bearing listings, and standard and oversize piston and ring options.
• Clutch, transmission, and gearshift-drum breakdowns identify internal components, including California-specific transmission gears, shift forks, and drum assemblies.
• Carburetor (Assy. Link) and component plates distinguish complete assemblies from linkage, floats, vacuum pistons, needles, and jets. California equipment has a separate Canister/Purge Control Valve breakdown.
• Suspension and brake illustrations identify front-fork internals, rear-shock linkage, swingarm bearings, caliper components, and brake and clutch master-cylinder parts.
• Electrical and cooling coverage includes Wire Harness/Ignition Coil, Water Pipe/Thermostat, and Radiator assembly views, along with alternator, starter-motor, and water-pump parts listings.

Model & Serial-Number Coverage

The identification section explains vehicle identification number (VIN) construction and shows the locations of the frame number, engine number, carburetor identification number, and color label. The application chart lists these ranges:

Engine and frame applications are tracked separately. Carburetor identification also controls certain component listings, so model year alone does not settle every parts application.

Component Breakdown & Identification

The catalog connects illustration reference numbers to component descriptions, quantities, Honda part numbers, and Honda codes. Model-year and area-code columns distinguish applications, while “From” and “To” entries identify production changes. Separate part-number and description indexes support lookup by either identifier. Supersession references reflect the catalog’s publication date.

Serial breaks matter when planning an engine repair. The crankshaft-bearing charts distinguish engines through RC15E-2001586 from RC15E-2001587 onward. Clutch pressure-plate and retaining-circlip applications also change between RC15E-2002370 and RC15E-2002371.

The color tables connect paint codes to fuel tanks, bodywork, frames, and subframes. They distinguish Candy Aleutian Blue (PB-127C-U) and Candy Bourgogne Red (R-107C-U), with model-year applications for stripes and emblems. WL/WOL designations explain whether stripes and labels accompany a part; caution labels are ordered separately.

Commonly Required Replacement Parts provides a shorter lookup for items such as filters, cables, brake pads, spark plugs, and gasket kits. The Tools section identifies the original onboard tool kit and its individual contents.

Included Technical Specifications

Factory reference tables cover carburetor jetting, spark-plug gaps, valve clearances, tire pressures, drive-chain and sprocket specifications, and fluid types and capacities. Bearing-selection charts supply the related oil-clearance information. Electrical component listings include battery, bulb, and fuse ratings.

The Bulk Hose section cross-references cut fuel and vacuum hoses to bulk replacement stock and explains hose part-number construction. Its material warning is specific: contact with fuel damages vacuum hose, making hose type an important distinction when identifying replacements.

Scope of This Parts Catalog

This publication provides parts identification and reference data. It does not include step-by-step diagnostic or repair procedures, electrical wiring schematics, or component torque tables. The separate 1983–1984 service manual is listed under Manual Number 61MB203; that manual is not included in this PDF.
