Hi everyone, My clutch started slipping so I bought new friction material and springs from a company called Vesrah. When I installed the new stuff, the clutch...
Our disk set is slightly different than the closest models. One of them is narrower. The fat one you got is not sitting all the way down in the basket. You...
This is not good news as I am about to replace the clutch on my CB450t! I've never done it before. I was wondering if it might be as simple as a cable...
I broke the clutch down today and worked on it myself. Apparently, my buddy had a couple before he worked on it. The disks weren't properly aligned when he...
Scott, Clutch replacement in the 450 is a piece of cake, if you follow good shop practice and have a basic knowledge of mechanics. The biggest obstacle is the...
Its a simple job WITH the right tools. I ordered a set from OBB and the hub nut. I got the thig dissassebled ready to remove the hub. Pulled out the hub...
I looked at the set of clutch plates I got and I believe they are all the same thickness. If not; where does the thickest plate go? In first, or last. I'm sure...
iirc There are 7? plates and the outermost is the 'B' plate or the thick one. I beleive that all metal plates are the same thickness (check for warpage though)...
Thanks for the info/explanation. I do have a manual and will consult that along the way. There always seems to be something lacking though... your practical...
I don't see why you couldn't do that. But, really, I don't see what the point would be. The first time you're doing something, you aren't going for speed. You...
Hey Andrew... I must agree with you entirely. At the time I bought the "backup" clutch basket I figured it couldn't be a bad thing to have around. Well I don't...
Your welcome Scott, I don't blame you for wanting spares. If my 450 were a keeper, I'd be buying up all the spare parts I could get. Including the clutch ...
Well my CB450t is a daily rider too... and here in Oregon it's difficult to keep the bike clean! Mine runs pretty good overall; despite lacking alot of general...
Start with cleaning the air filter, fuel filter and changing the plugs. Your air/fuel mix could be way off. If the bike is running at all decent, if low on...
Thanks for those suggestions Dan, I've done everythinig but change the spark plugs and once again I will want to rebuild the carbs just so I know where I stand...
Scot, The problem the needle and jet upgrade addresses is only a bad mid- range bog and not an overall power problem, sorry. Check out the service bulletin in...
Hi All, Been a while since I was on here last. I think I told you all I wrecked my Hawk while swerving to miss some deer. I came out of it with a compression...
I can't help you rebuild your bike, but I wanted to say I'm glad you're OK and I hope you get back on your bike next spring without another scary incident. ...
Hi, The Rear fairing on my bike has become cracked and has pieces missing. I was wondering if anyone knew if the rear fairing from a 82 nighthawk would fit...
This is a long time to wait for a follow up, but it seems like a worthwhile experience to share with other riders. I just went through 2 months of physical...
Hi, I have had the same experience with hip pain. I had hurt my lower back a couple of years ago and just bought a new bike. Befor the injury I had no hip...
All: So I picked up a "new to me" '82 Hawk in about June of '07, and I've been working on it since. When I got it, it has been sitting for about 3 years, and...
how much are you asking and where are you at??? ... From: powa_pro <powa_pro@...> To: CB450T@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, January 6, 2008 3:54:34 PM ...
So... Mike... Where do you live? And, what do you want for it? Jana powa_pro <powa_pro@...> wrote: All: So I picked up a "new to me" '82 Hawk in about...
I'm also going to be selling my Hawk in a couple months. I'm moving to a Magna 750. I live in Cambridge, MA. Honestly I'm not sure how much it is worth. In...
I tried to start my Hawk this morning but had no luck. I had power . The engine cranked, started to catch and died. After that it would crank, but wouldn't...
Start by buying a new pair of plug wires... They can't be that expensive. If they are getting old and brittle there's no point to trying to repair them....
My question is where do I find the wires and what kind do I get? I looked on Bike Bandit and the closest part they sell is the complete ignition coil. This...
