[Nighthawk Lovers] 83 CB 550 - STRUGGLES TO IDLE
Has anyone ever had an issue where the engine struggles to idle, even after running for 30+ minutes? My remedy at the moment is to run the bike with the choke on about 25% as when the engine revs above 1500 there is no problem.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Temporary Lighting repair
Somewhere I have a picture of me next to my 450 - holding a sign and a trophy - #1 RAT Bike at a local United Bikers of Maine show.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Temporary Lighting repair
Just as an fyi, on my 92 you just remove two screws and the gague will come out of the cup. From there just pull the bulb and wires from their socket in the back of the gague. Reverse to replace. Maybe a 10 minute process if you also spill your beer. While the flashlights have the added benefit of attracting attention.. You're delving into rat bike territory.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Nighthawk 700s For Sale in San Francisco Area
Very nice looking bike that starts and runs well, but has a couple mechanical issues, the most serious being a knock from the bottom end. Not super loud, but it is there and gets louder as the bike warms up. It also has a blown fork seal and JB weld around the drain plug (last owner was a little too strong). Reg will be around 150. Clean title, corbin seat, all plastics and tank in nice shape. The bike looks great and is very clean, say an 8.5 on a 1-10 scale. $400 takes it away. Best way to get me is email motojoh...@yahoo.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
