About the Honda VF700S Sabre
Clutch, brake and fork repair guidance for the VF700S Sabre, with model and year checks for every linked part.
The VF700S Sabre combines Honda’s liquid-cooled V4 with shaft drive. Honda’s 1985 brochure fits the 700 alongside the larger V65 Sabre, making the complete VF700S designation essential when choosing parts. For an original bike or a restoration, this collection brings the Sabre’s brake, fork and clutch service fitments together.
Plan the brake and fork work together
The Sabre’s rear drum uses shoes, while disc-brake service involves pads and caliper components. Record the repair position before ordering either. For fork work, the oil-seal example below is a pair of 37 × 50 × 11 mm seals for 1984–1985. Check dust seals separately so the parts order covers the items your inspection identifies.

Prepare for the repairIdentify your VF700S Sabre and the fitted part
Check the model code and year
Confirm the complete model code and year from the motorcycle’s identification label or registration. Use VF700S, not a shortened family name, when a product separates related models.
Match the part already fitted
Compare the original part with the product photos and specifications. Check markings, dimensions, mounting points, left/right or front/rear position, and the quantity supplied.
