Nope, never had any formal training. Spent a LOT of years riding with fast guys in San Diego, Washington State and San Francisco. Kinda watched others and...
I need to replace my ignition switch on my 83 650sc. I have read through the old messages and know how to replace it but none of the parts suppliers list a...
Scott, Tricky little word, 'almost'. I never said 'fully extended', but rather accepted your phrase 'almost fully extended'. When your elbow is flexed 30...

Hi Everyone been noticing some heat near my foot brake. You guys experiencing this as well? I am not sure if its normal or if my engine- Sorry for not knowing...
Hi again everyone i do not have an owners manual so i appologizing for asking these basic questions. Once my motorcycle warms up, it seems to idle pretty high....
Hadn't ridden much recently, so decided to ride to work. Commuting isn't great and glorious, but at least it's riding time. At first corner, right turn signal...
Dear Lost Soul, Honda designed it that way to keep you from losing your fleshy sole, by forcing you to wear proper leather boots. Actually, my 550 has always...
It should idle around 1100 (roughly) when it's hot. (I don't actually know the 650's spec, but the 700S is 1000 +/- 100) There's a thumbscrew between the 2...
That's much too fast once it's warmed up. Manual says 1100 rpm; anything between 1000 and 1500 is reasonable. Shoot for lowest above 1000 that provides...
Well, that's one of the reasons most riders wear boots. :) That cover is your clutch cover, and there's no particular reason for it to be hot compared to the...
I have been a member on here for a little while and Im glad that this group exsists. I don't really like the format of this board however, so I decided to...
Mark, Thanks for all the advice. I am like you in that I do not waste my time on speeding in the straight sections and chancing a ticket when it does not...
Interesting article. Good thing I wasn't drinking coffee when I read the line about the cupholders or I would have spewed it out. That was some funny stuff (in...
thanks so much and yeah, i usually have my leathers on and helmet, but for some reason, i dont wear the proper shoes- I have large clunky cruizer boots that...
Thank you for wondering. Because the gal who gave me the bike is/was in the middle of packing up in order to move to Pennsylvania she forgot to give me the...
Hello everyone Cluth works fine, but seems to engage close to a full release. I test ridden a V Star (Yamaha) classic and it did the same, but i test rode a...
thanks so much for all of the help. Will take off the tank and see what i can adjust. I think i also need to do some diagnosing. When i start the NH, choke...
It is a wet clutch though so when your motor is thoroughly heated up it will get hot.Make sure that your foot is not resting against the motor also. Michael A....
Glad to hear it went well. Pictures??? Dave ... in the middle of packing up in order to move to Pennsylvania she forgot to give me the Pink slip. Her man...
Yes, I have pictures on my digital camera. I can and will download them to my computer but I'm not certain how to show them to you all. Need some technical...
Anyone know of any rotors that will work on the 650 nighthawk (84) othere than OEM? Any cross-referenced ones such as the V45 Magna? They look similar in style...
Go to the "Photos" section and follow the instructions. They're pretty straightforward (I think). It would be good if you first reduced your photos to 72dpi...
... got to ride the Delaware Water Gap. I was on the PA side of the river, but I have ridden up by High Point before. It's beautiful up that way. Are you...
Which, BTW, if you can find an auto shop which is willing to let you disassemble a bit in their parking lot, most auto repair shops have the "one true big...
OK, I got a bunch of e-mails from people who hit the "send e-mail" button, one reply on the forum, and one who actually read what I said. I will try again. 1)...
