I had a set of Avon AM-26 Roadriders on my 92 NH750. At about 14K miles, I
developed a 45-55 MPH vibration. First thought was to replace the front wheel
bearings but that did no good. The tech suggested the tires might be worn but
they still showed lots of tread. I replaced them anyway with

I'm not really concerned with deterring a determined thief, that's what
insurance is for, but I want to deter the opportunists from even messing
with the bike. An easily spotted disc lock should do the trick, with the
added bonus of being hard for me to forget too. :D
I seem to recall a statistic
I had to replace the valve stems on both the front and rear tires recently
and after reassembling the bike, everything seemed to be in order. I just
happened to check the back brake and after applying pressure, the brake
pedal would not return to the up position (other than doing it manually).
Big bore kit I would presume.

Yes, that spring is there and it's fine. Not sure how diligent we were
about lining anything up when replacing the brake arm. How much affect

Hi All,
I'm looking for some input from anyone with long term experience with
the Nighthawk 250. I have a 2008 nighthawk that I bought with 3k miles
from a dealer. Since August 2011, I have put 8k miles on it with my
daily 50 mile commute, 20 miles of which is highway. So far this
little bike has
The bike is well engineered. (I'm a former Honda tech.)..however heat

and then, maybe find one rest stop along the way. Consider getting a
bigger bike such as a 450 Rebel , 450 nighthawk, CM400, 600 shadow,

14K is pretty darned good for a bike like the 700 that engourages

rain ( at least here in
The angle is important. There should be an alignment arrow on the
lever. the shaft does not have splines where the gap in the lever
slides on. It is possible to get it on wrong with some inattention and
a spread out clamp, but I think you'd notice. Be sure the axle is
adjusted square or exactly
i was using my cb250 1999 for a 80 miles round trip 2 up daily for a few
years. never a problem even in the florida heat. my commute was mostly
highway though.
it is a great little bike and i love it..
i agree with keeping an eye on the oil changes, but also i ate through
sprockets, so buy good
Just be sure to use a reminder loop with the lock so you don't try
to ride off with the lock on. It may come with the lock, but it is as
simple as a piece of thin rope that runs from the lock to your handle
bar grip to remind you. Nothing like replacing a bent disk when you
don't have to.

At the risk of sounding like a 'know it all' - the 450
Nighthawk is no treat on the highway for extended periods - to
maintain 70 MPH you have to run the bike at almost 5,000 RPM which
dramatically reduces the fuel economy, not to mention adding in a
considerable amount

When you say Brake arm are you referriing to the strut type bar that
simply keeps the backing plate from rotating? If you did not remove
the arm that operates the internal cam that spreads the shoes, then
none of that is the culprit. Look underneath and be sure there is no
binding or conflict of
