The official policy at Honda is "if it's there, leave it.. don't add anything either" The purpose is to keep oil at the pump pick-up at all times. Hard acceleration, hard braking. Fix a little now or a lot later. (whole lot) --- On Mon, 4/13/09, ty wrote: From: ty Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers]

OK, it sounds like a bad battery connection. They won't stay running without a battery and the no click is no power to the solenoid. Both would lead to the connection. The positive is a short run to the far side of the battery, I've seen them loosen. Just a guess, I'm not there. After the connec

It doesn't always happen that way though. Last year, the starter on my 700SC went out. Over a period of several days, it would start sometimes and not others. But I could always push start it in 3rd if it wouldn't start and once it was running, it never stopped. When I took it in, I was stan

I also had a bike in the past that did the same exact things as you mentioned. The starter was bad on that bike. I changed it and that fixed tthe problem. If you change the starter soon then you might be able to save the battery.  Jeff Rumer (Magilla)   --- On Mon, 4/13/09, Creative Residentia

No sidestand switch on these bikes. One of the things I did test while in the parking lot was the clutch switch.
