Pulling my 84 CB 700 Engine- Rear Swingarm? Q: Do I need to pull off my rear swingarm to pull my engine? 5-4 Engine Removal/Installation talks about prying the...
Dan, you don't need to remove the swingarm. I just pulled the motor on my '85. There is a rubber boot where the shaft meets the motor/transmission, push it...
... I looked at my Honda Nighthawk Service Manual, if the pictures in it are to be believed, it is the RIGHT SIDE COIL (as defined by rider sitting on bike...
I've been riding to work every day, coming home at 9 p.m., temperatures are in the upper 30's~low 40's. Today, Saturday, I took a brief fresh- air ride on the...
Hi Paul, Thanks for the info on temps. How do you walk with all that on your legs? Cliff H - note the comments about scuba/kayaking. Dave ... temperatures ......
Good Morning: I own a 1984 Honda nighthawk CB 650 that runs well at high speed. However it will only idle for two or three minutes before it stalls out. I...
Yo! Dave, I rode in on Monday with 35mph gusts and I always attributed stability to my ballast, I never thought to credit the bike, yet another justification...
Since the left and right coils often get confused in people's minds (and also in some manuals!), I think one way to ensure you have them hooked up correctly is...
If the problem were a jet, it wouldn't take a few minutes to die at idle, it would die immediately. I think it's most likely the weak battery. At idle, the...
Ditto the weak battery. If you are going to replace it spend the extra bones on a good quality maintainance-free (AGM) type. They put out consistant strong...
Hi Tom, You answered your own question. Following up on what Reid and Mike said ... Your bike's charging system charges the battery only when the rpms are over...
Hi Z, 60 pounds of ballast, eh? An interesting way to put it. :-) That would seem to make your bike less stable, not more. In any case, I have only two...
Wish I could but to walk would be 5 miles as I'd need to go around the highway stuff that you can't walk on. Bought a 10 speed but I really don't even feel...
I have a gas tank, front fender, side panels and rear deck off a 1986 450SC for sale. Was going to repaint so I could have two color schemes fo the bike but...
... Like the Michelin Man, or so I'm told by my co-workers. Actually, it's not that bad. I find a little stiffness getting the leg over the saddle, which is...
Dave, Yout 650's superior stability is probably due to aerodynamics and a lower center of gravity. I won't take "Precious" out if the wind gusts are at/above...
Well, it's that time of year again. Time to put the ol' 650 NH to bed for a long New England winter's nap. With an impending late fall snow storm predicted to...
Thanks for the help. I cut the boot off & can see inside. I'm trying to pry the spring back with screwdrivers but they slip off and it springs back. I'm...
... Good one, Mike...I've heard of guns for oil and oil for guns, and peanut, safflower, fish oil, shale oil, even mink oil*ugh!*...but can they make oil from...
Time to do the bike projects that would normally interfere with your riding time. When I store my bike for the winter I.....wait a minute, I ride year round....
Hi Mike That's one more thing you and I agree on. The 750 becomes hazardous when the wind hits 30 mph. It's hard to believe the 750 is only 28 pounds heavier...
Hi Jon, Let me off a suggestion. Fill the gas tank, put 1 ounce of SeaFoam in it per gallon, rock the bike to mix the SeaFoam into the gas, and run it for a...
Good advice Dave. but as I only put a few ounces in the tank, then shut off the petcock and ran it til the carbs ran dry, I should have no problem. As for the...
You didn`t have to cut off the boot. So, pop the plastic chrome cover on the frame at the swingarm pivot. Now, pry the joint where you were prying before until...
Don't forget to add an inline fuel filter when you install that new tank. Consider it additional insurance against carb problems. Inspecting all of the fuel...
The 91-03 NH 750 is tall and gangly and carries it's weight up high which makes for scary riding in high winds. After seeing a Goldwing get blown over (1982) I...
... Of course, the fact that the coil wires are labeled something like BU/YL and YL/BU in the wiring diagram doesn't help. Honda should have made one wire a...
... Always trying to rub it in about your year round riding weather J J Think of us when you are enjoying your rides. Maybe we will feel the wind too J...
