You might want to try on advrider.com, there are many people with nighthawks, and I know some of them put different kind of tires on them, e.g., http://advrider.com/index.php?threads/1985-nighthawk-700s-adventure- conversion.908633/#post-22013224 Javier. On Wed, May 23, 2018 at 7:11 AM, Colin wr

So reading more in to the factory service manual and I find, "A transistorized ignition system is utilized and can not be adjusted." Umm Ok, I guess I need to start digging in to what aspect of the ignition system is causing my spark to be firing slightly late. The bike runs fine, but i'm kinda
