Yeah I was thinking of replacing the clutch as well. It's weird that after a year of using that car oil, it would suddenly act up on me. I had a different problem before where I go to 2nd gear from 1st and it would sometimes drop down to neutral. On Sunday, November 25, 2012 7:05:07 PM UTC-5, y

[Nighthawk Lovers] Transmission Locked Up

2012-11-25 Thread Jaybird248
On a ride today, my transmission locked up in the upper gears. No way to get into 1,2 or neutral. The problem is there with the engine running or turned off. Is this repairable at a reasonable cost? Or is the end of my trusty Nighthawk's long life? Any advice appreciated. Thanks. Jay S 92

Jeff, here's what happened to me and a 700S (Javier referred to the problem I had). Yours sounds like a clutch problem rather than a transmission problem so check your clutch plates and springs while you have the engine apart. Even changing oil might take a while to see the results. I used R

That's where I admit I screwed up. for about a year I was using regular synthetic blend motor oil for cars SAE 10W40 I think. After I had the problem I was looking around and they suggested it could be the oil so I replaced it with SAE 10W40 for 4 stroke motorcycles. Even after 2 days of about

What kind of oil did you used? I think Graham had a similar problem on one of his 700s which was solved by using the proper oil (maybe some additive to it?). Javier. On Sun, Nov 25, 2012 at 2:44 PM, Jeff wrote: > I just used a simple anti-seize lubricant, they had a picture of it being > applie

I used it for at least 4 months after replacing the cables. I usually leave some slack because my fingers aren't too long. I adjusted it to the proper tension to get the maximum clutch motion but it still wont shift down. On Sunday, November 25, 2012 1:41:25 PM UTC-5, Joking1701 wrote: > > You s

Sealant on the spark plugs? I hope you used something that will let you get them back out. Well did you try adjusting the clutch cable before pulling the engine. Did it have the correct oil level, and was the oil fresh? Now that it is apart just check your parts to make sure they are in spec,
