I'm not the world's most mechanically inclined, but once I wrap my brain around the concept, everything in the chain falls into place. The vent allows minimal...
I have uncovered what I consider to be another cool, semi-vintage Honda for sale, a clean unmolested 1987 Hurricane 1000 (dont laugh, as sportbikes go a 1987...
And I should correct my earlier statement about "diaphragm failure." The vent will drip if the vacuum-actuated valve leaks and allows fuel to get to the inner...
hi i had the same prob as you needing a starter i managed to get one off ebay but it was in a bad state i found that lucas services ar very good it maybe...
Ditto all the rave's about the GenMar risers. Put some on my bike, and I love it. I feel like I am sitting much more upright and not leaning so far forward....
Has anyone every tried this product? http://www.casporttouring.com/store/merchant.mvc? Screen=PROD&Product_Code=16070&Category_Code=bar_snake I am having a...
I've heard good things about the bar snake. Bar end weights do wonders, too. The DRZ400 crowd love to get rid of thiers (7/8" bar) and they end up cheap on...
I tried Bar Snake on my Suzuki GSF1200. The effect was subtle, took the edge off just a bit. I've had much better luck using foam grips, they're cheap too. Gel...
Ok, I purchased a used RR on eBay and I'm getting the same voltage readings as the original unit. About 15.2V @ 2,500 RPM, slightly less @ 5,000 RPM. Is this...
Head down to your local hardware store and they can probably match up one for you. Michael A. Alvarez 2003 Red NH 750,"My Precious" 68K and Going Strong! No...
Reid,Is there any fix (pc diaphragm failure) that one can do in the field to nurse the bike back home? Michael A. Alvarez 2003 Red NH 750,"My Precious" 68K and...
I will just toss this in for good measure... It's a good idea to just consider lubricating all places where metal parts rub or move in contact with each other....
Hi Fleabay, when are you taking the trip south? I'm in Winchester, Va (on I81) and will buy the first round (or lunch if that's yer pref)...Love to see the...
hi, everyone.. hmm.. well, after months of consternation, i've decided to give in and get some givi hard cases my my bike. i've ordered the wingrack and...
Just wonderin' but isn't it possible to run w/o the valve ? Just pull the valve and spring and button up the PC. Be ready to switch the petcock feed to off...
I have seen them available but, sorry, I don't know where or who makes them. I have worked on a number of old (like ours) bikes and have replaced the filter...
Sure but that would be too easy! Seriously, I want to keep 'em all lookin the same- preferably slightly rusty! ;) - In honda_nighthawk@yahoogroups.com, Mike...
certainly you can run without the valve. You can run with scissors, too. Heck, you don't even have to turn off the petcock valve when you stop; you can just...
It would be nice if that was possible for the 650, a spin on type, I wonder if thats possible. I did locate all the parts on ebay, now its wait and see what...
the ... once in ... I'd love to know how this is done ... But its a 650sc, whats the sc stand for ... Well, the drain plug threads were beat to death but the...
Well, Reid, I for one was impressed that you had researched/figured out why the diaphragm was the shape it was...made sense. It's made of natural rubber,...
Hi Jeff, I like the backpack. Let me know the particulars. Tks, Dave ... decided ... the ... cases, ... longer ... the ... i'll ... fair ... which ... are ......
Even with the vac-assist pc's I always turn it off when bikes' not in use. It's a good habit to have and helps avoid the high octane motor oil if the diaphragm...
You don't say what year of bike you're riding, but bar snakes will not work on a 91-03 Nighthawk with stock bars. The bars are weighted at both ends (beneath...
I agree with Joe. Foam grips ($10.00) and Olympic Gel gloves ($30.00) combined worked great even before I did the sprocket mod to lower rpms at speed. Michael...
