It just seems like the battery goes weak on starts way too fast. Compicating matters for me is that I need the carbs cleaned and rebuilt. My mechanic is in the middle of builing his own house, so it will be a little while before that gets done. It runs pretty good, but starts a little hard and

What year is your bike? If it's an older Nighthawk, it's possible that long of a ride might not have been enough. I am not a mechanic, but from what I have heard here and from my mechanic the charging systems on the older Nighthawks are weak. Someone on here should be able to say for sure. How ol

Yes, probably your stator is to rewire. If you want to save $$$, you can check the three phased windings (yellow wires) : they are probably OK. The most critical winding in this stator is the excitator winding (black / white wires). You will probably find that it has 2 or 3 Ohms resistance, wh

This a subject that comes up quite often. Before there is any blanket condemnation of early 650 electrical systems, any evaluation of a charging problem begins with re-charging the battery to 13.8 volts and have it load bank tested. For me, I don't use voltage readings, I prefer to use an ammete

The extra money is for "smart" electronics. The gizmo turns off and on as battery voltage changes. The cheap spread just trickles on and on. We run one on our forklift because we don't use it more than twice a week. And then it's only for short times. When it's needed, no time to jump it. Works
