Speaking of rusty pipes, I bought a 2002 Nighthawk a few months ago and it has a little rust on the underside portion of the pipes. Can I do anything to remove...
YO! Hey Rick, Good time to upgrade to progressive springs, my springs were collapsed and I had no idea how the bike was supposed to handle so when I got it...
Its definitely interesting. And has a real impact on how motorcyclists get dealt with in general. I was recently pulled over for speeding (first time) and I...
i have the same problem---bike is fairly clean all over, but the underside of the pipes on the bottom area look bad. i feel i should try to clean this area...
Hey folks, I'm trying to decide between two motorcycles at the moment. First up is a 1983 550SC. Asking price is $1200 and the guy seems to be very open to...
Get the 700s, 1. You already have a 550SC 2. The 550SC needs a rear tire, that will plus your gas/round trip argument = the $300 in savings on the 550SC 3....
The tappet is hydraulic and not adjustable. If it is clogged or not functioning it will result in a collapsed tappet and need to be cleaned or replaced. They...
Chris, If you ride safely you have nothing to worry about. Police rarely, if ever, target bikers just because they're bikers. If you "stunt" or otherwise...
How do you know one of your valves is not adjusted properly? The most direct answer to your question is "no" - no one knows how to adjust the valve lash on an...
Nate, If you get the running 550, then your existing non-running 550 becomes both a parts bike and a project bike. If you get the running 700, then your 550...
quote >> I have only been riding about a month now, but I know that I would really hate to see cops come after cruisers just so they can pull over a biker. In...
1500 bucks for a 12K Nighthawk S with new tires and if its a daily rider there is a good chance there are not many problems with it. Thats a fairly good deal. ...
Hahaha yeah we can call it "Nate's bothering the list members again with annoying questions". I really really like the 550 that I have but it isn't titled...
Thanks, Dave. Glad I have a "day" job not to quit :) Hopefully someone in the same shoes as I was (though I doubt anyone will ever be as clueless) will stumble...
Ditto ti just taking the motorcycle course (and getting my endorsement). I've been riding my 700S for about a month now, and I'm really enjoying it. I chose...
I need your feedback. My wife is thinking about starting to ride bikes. She has taken the AMA beginner course and rode dirt bikes when she was a kid, but has...
i own one and was very surprised at how much i like it it quickly turned into my ride of choice. i had my tank painted and was sorry i did not do the...
Alright...here's the deal with the 700S Cosmetically the paint isn't great. It's also running without one of the side covers because the plastic nubs gave...
I did my first group ride this weekend. Almost 55 miles total. First to meet the group, then the ride (about 12 of us) to a party held by the locak gold wing...
Need some help to figure this one out. Today ridding home in the rain I suddenly "lost" One or two cylinders. Good thing I was only a mile or so from the...
Tom - I'd squeeze as hard as I can on the price no matter how good it seems. I bought a '84 650sc from a "certified master mechanic" for $1300 a year ago and...

hi all, just wanted to pass along that i picked up a brand new smoke tinted plexifairing 3 for a place called www.powersportsuperstore.com. it was $141.00...
No problem, I do have a set in the basement I'd let go for $25 or so plus shipping, though it might take me a bit to get 'em out. They're off an 85 so they...
You're right, its me. Found out today that it is based on how I shift the bike causing the wobble. More practice. I too used to clutch dumps on the track in...
Hi Tom, I have three pieces of feedback for you: 1: Buy the 650, but only if it's a, 83-85. 2: Buy a smaller bike that she can learn on. The 650 is a LOT...
Hi Ted, Glad to hear you had a good time and made it back in one piece. I'm something of a fanatic - no, I'm a real fanatic - when it comes to alcohol and...
