Javier, Thank you. I won't be able to attend, but please, anyone who can, please pay my respects for me. I'll be thinking them hard at work. Key On Apr 26, 2016 20:58, "Javier Garcia" wrote: > Friends, > > Here are the details of Allen's service for anyone interested: > > The family will receiv

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Misfire when hot 84 650

Tommy, what I didn't realize until I traced all the wires is that each coil had its own pulse generator. The pair in parallel keep the timing true. When rereading the entire thread I noticed Allen saying it is a dual ignitor setup. Once I dug into the pulse gen setup it made perfect sense. It mu

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Silly clutch lever adjustment question

One other point to check is the bushing that the lever pivots on, some times those wear out and allow too much slop in the lever. On Apr 26, 2016 12:29, "Jared Clifton" wrote: > Graham, > You are exactly right. I would like less travel. But, if I am reading what > you wrote correctly, it sounds l

Great! I called pulse gens early on because I had a quitting problem, not a misfire. Glad you are running. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send

Graham, You are exactly right. I would like less travel. But, if I am reading what you wrote correctly, it sounds like that is the nature of this bike, and I should spend more time learning to use the clutch lever... Hehe. -Jared On Tuesday, April 26, 2016 at 10:19:36 AM UTC-7, kiwinPA wrote: >

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Silly clutch lever adjustment question

After all else is checked, you can even bend the clutch lever in just a tad. I do not suggest this, but it very well may be bent out just a little already. They are brittle! So only bend if you are certain you can do so gently. Or replace it if already bent out a bit. -- You received this m

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Silly clutch lever adjustment question

Jared, if I understand what you are asking is that you want less travel before the clutch releases, correct? Your problem isn't short travel at the lever before you take off in gear, it's the opposite. You have to let the lever out too far before you take off, correct? If so that's the nature of

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Silly clutch lever adjustment question

I believe you are right, which is why I was asking. I wasn't sure if there was any way to adjust a hydraulic system. -Jared On Tuesday, April 26, 2016 at 10:06:28 AM UTC-7, Javier Garcia wrote: > > Hi Jared, > > I am sorry if I am confused, but I thought the 83 650 had a hydraulic > clutch, i.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Silly clutch lever adjustment question

Hi Jared, I am sorry if I am confused, but I thought the 83 650 had a hydraulic clutch, i.e., no cables. If you have a brake fluid reservoir on the left side, then is hydraulic. In that case you might need to bleed the system, or perhaps rebuilt the master cylinder. Hopefully someone else here can

[Nighthawk Lovers] Silly clutch lever adjustment question

Hey all, Another silly newbie question from me. I am a new rider, and love my '83 Nighthawk 650, except for one thing. The friction zone on the clutch lever is nearly all the way out. As a new rider, this is causing me significant issues starting in 1st gear (and starting on any sort of hill is
