[Nighthawk Lovers] my 700sc needs help

The engine seized twice after just 10 miles each time. It started and ran OK after cooling. It's an 84 with red 85 trim with 13k on it. As it warmed, power dropped until it died. I suspect it's an oil problem. I haven't looked at it in a few years and would love to get it back on the road.

Hey Nighthawk gang... Even though some of us have been around this email group for years, I think we should start introducing ourselves with pictures and some history on us and our bike(s). Pictures and even videos would be great. Tell us about your Nighthawk(s) and why you love it so much. Who wa

Thanks for the responses. They ended up just going down to our local Walmart and picking up a battery. I got it installed this evening and she's good to go. Started like a champ. On Jun 11, 2014 8:35 PM, "Jason King" wrote: > It's a YTX7L-BS yusa battery > On Jun 11, 2014 10:28 PM, "Neil Danta

Thanks guys, makes a lot of sense. I know my brake line is at least 5 years old. Think I will begin to look into an upgrade to stainless steel. Frank - Washington,DC 82 Nighthawk 450SC On Monday, June 9, 2014 1:18:51 PM UTC-4, Allen wrote: > > Most OEMs recommend replacement between every 2

My son's girlfriend came over this evening and her Nighthawk 250 wouldn't start. We did some troubleshooting and determined it was the battery. Since then I've been searching online for batteries for the Nighthawk 250. Walmart doesn't even show the cb250 under their possibilities (although they DO

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Now a Leaking Carb

Took a closer look today with the sidecovers off. Gas is coming from where fuel t-joint enters carb 3 (then dripping down to carb 2). Doesn't look like any leak at the top of the float bowls, and definitely not coming from the overflow tubes. If the float valve was stuck open, wouldn't the fuel

Ok, so I took out the filter. Looks in good shape and obviously not very old after-market INA filter. Gonna ride without it to see if any difference. However, there is an oily substance pooling in the box, very light, and the filter has some on lower half, ie running down. Only a misting, bu

Hello Allen, Thank you so much for the information. I already register the part number. I need to replace one in my 700S. And you don't need to use tread locker. You have a washer, pressure washer and torque the nut between 18 - 25 N-m , or 13 - 18 ft-lb. Best regards, On Tuesday, June 10

Thanks to both of you for good advice. In the worst case I would get a whole new wiring harness from Ebay for $30 and take the time to put it on. This I've done before. This bike could be worth a try. Thanks again. On Tuesday, June 10, 2014 9:19:31 PM UTC-4, EGrider wrote: > > There's a bike on

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Call for electical experts

That depends on your tenacity and his assessment of the issue. First put an ammeter between the positive cable and the + post on the battery. Do this with the key switch off. This will show static draw it should be basically 0 or a few miliamps. Not much has the capacity to draw power from the batt
