Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: chain maintenance

+1 A high quality chain is definitely worth it, especially if you load up your bike or ride 2 up. After having a shaft drive bike, I find I sometimes forget to check the chain before going for a ride, and have come home with a really dry chain a couple of times.

Welcome to the group! I really like the 650, just don't make the mistake of trading it in to get something bigger/faster, as you will probably regret it. Allen Thomas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!&

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: CB1100

enough you can actually slide the rear from shifting all the weight off of it. Especially if you haven't put in heavier fork springs. Allen Thomas On Jan 16, 2016 4:42 PM, "Joey Kelley" wrote: > A better question would be - why would you want to bother with disk brake > rear

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Gas gauge and shift indicator not working

It could be like Graham says and it is an issue with the neutral switch, along with an issue with the fuel sender in the tank. Also these bikes have a weak fuse box that tends to get smoked, which can also cause issues like this. On Fri, Jan 15, 2016 at 8:44 AM, Kyle Munz wrote: > I took pictur

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Replacement Plug Wires?

in the retaining cap to the coil. Then just route your wires, cut them and screw on the new resistor caps. It takes like 15 minutes to switch out the wires. Allen Thomas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!"

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Ross Jamison wants you to see this item at Amazon.com

Those are car wires. Motorcycle wires use resistor caps, should be 5 Ohm. Those wires don't have any resistance and will burn up your coils. Allen Thomas On Jan 3, 2016 5:00 PM, "'RMJ' via Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" < nighthawk_lovers@googlegroups.com> wrote:
