How can I tell? Is it in the VIN code? A 4-in one wouldn't seem to make much sense on this bike considering the placement of the spark plugs and the fact that there is no room for a 4-in-one that I can seehmmI will need to pull up some old stock photos now. You got me curious. HotrodMamm

Sorry Graham, I thought I responded yesterday. I brought the bike to my brother's yesterday and he has a spare for his Magna, which fits the Nighthawk. So I won't need it, but thanks. Is this address the one I should Paypal the $$ to? (the ptd.net one) -Kyle KK On Sun, Apr 5, 2009 at 1:16 PM, Gr

Welcome to the group Matt. I can't answer your question but someone here will. I'd like to hear the answer too though. I rode a NH 250 when I took my riding class and finding neutral on that thing was a nightmare. The clutch seemed to work fine otherwise but you did have to kill the motor to get it

I have a '92 CB250, I noticed the other day that it was extremely hard to get into neutral, so i took a look at the clutch cable to see if it was adjusted wrong. In fact the only time I am able to get into neutral is when the motor is off. I checked to see if the clutch was working properly by rai

Try this: instead of straddling the bike, put one leg on the seat and then kick with the other leg. It's a bit awkward at first but it works like a charm and you won't get a bruise. HotrodMamma. - Original Message - From: Josh Bowlin To: nighthawk_lovers@googlegroups.com Sent:

A BSA. Cool. That was my first MC in about 1965. In those days, I think the British bikes were made of whatever pot metal they could find. I remember, I had to replace my foot shift lever every month of so because it would strip on the shaft splines. Later, when I switched over to Japanese
