How do you mean they work now and then? Do they die completely or just
indicate the wrong values?
Both LCDs on my 650 were dead, I took apart the instrument cluster to try
and find out why but didn't. I ended up finding a new gauge cluster on eBay

Greetings fellow nighthawk owners.
After researching these bikes for months, I finally bought a 1984 650
w all service records and only 25K. It is my first bike and awesome.
However, I have one question that my research and repair manual can
not answer. 83-85 650's have an electronic gear indica
It's not a Nighthawk, but it is a really sweet bike. He just bought a 3rd
bike and has to sell one to remain married. I'd love to give it a home but
then I'd have 3 bikes in the garage and similar marital problems. If anyone
wants me to test ride it again for them I'd be more than happy too ;)

They all inhale. Dirt and dust get under the bag and the movement abrades the

I've been looking at tank bags. The question always comes down to magnetic
or strap mount. The argument that magnetic is more easily stolen is useless
on me as I carry a pocket knife and strap mount would be just as easily
stolen. Which is worse for the paint is the real question. You would think

If you can get the pattern, no problem. Get a machine shop to cut it out of
stock. No way would your arm hold up to a hacksaw job. Try making a pattern out

I have tried ebay, 3 salvage yards (waiting to hear back from the one
listed above,) craigslist, and various google searches. I did find a
night hawk forum web site which I was excited to see, however I
haven't come up with anything. I did find a set on ebay, but they
were being sold for $150.
I just sent them an email. Thanks for the tip. I am new to
motorcycles in general and have not yet really found a good source for
parts.
Thanks,

You're right Stanley...that 20-50 is formulated for my '76 Harley for one.

Amsoil has a toll free number. Call them and ask, because all their oils are
formulated differently. They at Amsoil do recommend 20-50 for some bikes, but
I think they are Harleys, Beuels (spelling - ?), and some others. Hondas and
several others, if I recollect rightly, take a lighter grade.
