A friend of mine has a problem with a broken Neutral Sensor. He can not start or run the engine with the bike in the side stand (fortunately it is the european...
Rode in the cold (50F) to my local honda dealer to look at his msf drop-doggie CB250s. He had two, each going for $2800, i.e., not as good as the Nashville...
... It won't run with the stand down and transmission in 'neutral'? The side stand switch only sends a message that it is in the down position. If the bike...
Thanks for the report. It's good to know what's REALLY out there, next best thing to firsthand for the rest of us. ... nearly ... deal I ... Still what, $500...
... That 2.5% looks like add-on dicker room to me. I'd think that a serious checkbook or a handful of cash could acquire one for $2600. Trade-in your current...
... Next year (next quarter) it will be worth even less. Eventually, it will be worth zip and you have to fork over a LOT more cash for a better machine....
... Heh heh - its happened in the housing market - Connecticut, 1994. Sellers bringing money to their own closing. The way I look at it, I'd gladly keep it for...
... ================================ Not sure about the CB750, but among Honda Nighthawks, both the CB650 and CB700SC (the fabulous Nighthawk S) have...
... Right on. The original CB750 was a SOHC with screw adjusters. Afaik, Honda changed the engine to DOHC and pump-up lifters when the Nighthawk name was...
"The problem may be that the ignition system does not know that the bike is in neutral, so checkout the neutral switch." I arrived that far. " I found that the...
Thanks to all for your interest and participation, the group went over 100 members today. We have quite a diverse bunch of riders here which makes it a...
Thank you Jon for all of your work and input on this site. Of all the motorcycle, car and scooter groups I belong to this is one of my favorites. There are...
What brands of tires do you guys like to use when you're putting new shoes on your 'hawks? I'm getting some quotes from shops around town, and I'm hearing...
when i pull up to a redlight on my 250 hawk,and i've downshifted to 1'st gear and i know i'm going to be sitting there a few minutes its hard to find neutral,i...
... Some like Metzlers, but I tend to stay with the stock Dunlops. Part of the CB's pleasant ride comes from the ability of the high profile Dunlops to flex...
... Yes, with every motorcycle I've owned, except a Kawasaki and an Enfield which have positive neutral transmissions. What you need to do with the Honda is...
I use a Metzler laser 90/90 front and a Continental Conti-blitz 120/90 rear. I get 18,000 miles from the front and 10,000 on the rear. Stay away from the Cheng...

... I'll have to try that myself. What usually works for me is to go up to second, and then tap down very lightly to get into neutral. It seems easier than...

Until this thread got going, the only choices I knew of were: 1. Stock Dunlops 2. Metzeler ME77 on back, ME33 on front. I have 11k on my CB250 and replaced the...
OK, I'll chime in on this one and offer a different perspective... just for information's sake. I've always believed that in the absence of a specific...
... Don't want to start a war here. Just pointing out that I've read other places that suggest neutral at a light, the idea (I guess) being that you are less...
Pat, at discountmotorcycletire.com, all the high max types for Cheng Shin are listed as "tubeless type." Doesn't your GZ have spoked wheels and thus require...
Also, a question. Just to clarify, is it not the case that you have flexibility (limited) only in the second of the three measurement figures? E.g., if the...
When used on a spoked wheel, most (maybe all?) tubeless tires can be used with a tube. That's what everyone does when mounting tubless on spoked wheels. First...
Changing tire dimensions will affect the geometry of a bike. A lower profile front tire will drop the front end and decrease fork rake resulting in quicker...
