Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Bike dies at high speeds > 65mph

Well well well. This morning I was getting ready to go to work and got on the bike. When I started it it didn't fire up as usual. Instead it was struggling. I looked under the tank to check for said pinched fuel line and lo and behold! The new hose the shop put in between the tank and the carbs i

No, don't call the shop for a refund. You learned something real valuable thanks to the shop. I can't see how those guys can work on engines/bikes day after day, same engines, same stuff without going nuts. And they are under such pressure. Stay on good terms with the shop. You might ne

Hi Everyone, So doing the spring maintenance (which for me involves another project). The carb boots on both sides are as hard as a rock and I am probably going to have to cut them off. Honda no longer offers the part. Before I hit up e-bay I just wanted to check if anyone new another source or

Good evening everyone! I ordered a new ignition switch for my 83 650 Nighthhawk, but, while I am waiting for that to come, I pulled the fuse block apart, and it is pretty well toast. It is melted behind the ignition wires...does anyone know where I can get a good used one? I called Musselmans Hond

The plastic on mine was melted too (right where the red/black wires plug in) but that was only the plastic. The metal conductors all seemed to be pretty well in place. I tore it apart, cleaned everything up, spread apart the contacts in the female connectors so they'd make a good connection, coated

So it looks like I'll be doing a 6+ month project in Merced, California for work starting early next month. I just found out recently, so don't have a whole lot of time to plan. Because I'd like to have more than a 1-month riding season, I'd like to get the bike shipped from Milwaukee, Wisconsin
