Hi KarlJay, I just did this on my '85 NH650; learned as I went along. The Honda and Clymer manuals do take you through an alternate method to using the Honda...
I have yet to get the owners manual for my bike and I was wondering how many miles I could get before stopping for gas? I have just been gassing up before my...
Eric- The fuel capacity on my '98 NH is 4.0 USG + 0.8 USG reserve, and your's should be the same. I don't tend to ride aggressively and get 45-50 mpg's. I...
I don't remember for sure when I got used to it, but I'm sure it was within a few hundred miles. I'm 6 ft. even and 240 lbs. I don't think it gets any softer,...
That makes sense. Do you do any of the other things like changing the fork oil or repacking wheel bearings? Should I even think about new plugs and wires if...
I just bought a Corbin and it does feel really hard. I plan on using a sheepskin to soften it up a bit. Also makes it much cooler after being parked in front...
I've also noticed that you can get about the same amount of gas in on the sidestand as up straight. My bike usually gets to about 160 before I need reserve. My...
OK, I was working on the bike last night and saw that I was incorrect originally. The VIN clearly states CB650SC. That's what I'll be looking for, if I can't...
Abe, Why would you need to ask for suggestions on this, you need to do whatever make you more comfortable. Unless you enter in the COOL factor, if you are ...
Hello I was given 1983 Honda Nighthawk 650. It had a bad rod knock so I am parting it out. If anybody is looking for any specific parts email me and I will put...
For those with a ton of free time, and without a need for waterproofness, you can always build your own wooden hard luggage. Hard bags really do dramatically...
I'm going to make my own seat. The materials I'll use are: Original seat pan Closed cell foam rubber base Open cell foam rubber on top Vinyl cover All of this...

... Wow. I hadn't even considered that possibility. (Many in this august forum are familiar with my tepid feelings concerning my Corbin). I doubt I would go so...
heh! Well, in my case, this is more of a question of lack of money for either a new stock seat or a new (or even used) Corbin seat. If I can't afford the ...

Hi folks, Can anyone help me out with a part number for my '85 750S? It's a small cosmetic piece ... it's the plastic cap that plugs the bottom of the two...
The cylinder itself has no front or back orientation, but the rubber diaphragm attached at the top of each vacuum cylinder does. There should be a small nub...
I could be wrong, but I don't think the '83 carbs are designed that way. As far as I can tell, the pistons on the '83 are symmetrical and do not have rubber...
Well, my 84 CB700SC is leaking oil pretty bad. I tried patching it up, but the expanding and the heating and cooling make it almost impossible. It leaks out...
First off, don't panic. It never helps. Second, it may look really bad, but unless it is laying large (and I mean big around as a basketball) pools or...
Have had some trouble starting in the last month. At first she would take a few turns to start. Now, will turn over, but not fire. It will start quickly...
1986, 450cc, Nighthawk... I took the coil off and coated it and the wires with clear silicone from a tube which I got in the boat department at Gander...
If they are not cracked and are not spongey they should be fine. A periodic visual check of the lines to see how they are doing. I clean mine with Armor All...
Make sure you're actually getting a spark. One of the primary wires (the thin ones that feed the coil) could be bad. It's probably not a coil or a plug wire,...
The manual says you must pull the engine. I recall that someone reported here a while back that it is possible to remove the output shaft cover with the...
On many of the Nighthawk 700's, the starter motor can fly south every (approx!) 30,000 miles or so. This can mimic a dead battery. If all else fails, you might...
Thing is, I did it twice already... and I don't wanna do it again =( this bike is costing way to much money and time and blood than it's worth... =/...
Reid You are half right. The pistons do not have a rubber skirt diaphragm and they are symmetrical. However there are 2 flat sides at the bottom of the...
JJ, That's not a bad idea. You should really consider starting up as a weekend business building seats. Don't quit your day job, you might get hungry well ...
