Sorry it took so long to respond. I've been out of town. Bob already addressed the clutch kit question. As far as the gasket, I used some blue RTV to make my...
Dennis, Glad to hear that you are doing great. I will get the clutch kit from Bob but Dont know when yet. I still have my old Vance and Hines 4 into 1. Its a...
Richard, I'd like to get a 4 into 1 on it. Not sure why but I just like the look and sound of a good 4/1. Plus when I took my stock unit off it seemed to be a...
Never heard of getting water in the oil just from the rain..I would say either you have a bad seal under the seat at air cleaner. Or maybe a hole in the ...
Dennis, Check those intake boots both front and rear of the carbs, they might be loose or possible be cracked. Richard Dennis <ih781000@...> wrote: ...
I checked the airbox. It was dry. Checked the boots. No cracks. This engine has been opened before I bought it but it doesn't leak anything. Does the starter...
Dennis I think there is an O-ring with the starter...Going by memory only...Does the plastic tube running out of the bottom of the Airbox have the black ...
FYI, I'm putting my 4:1 Kerker exhaust on ebay today. Its in really good shape, some slight surface rust, and one buffable scratch on the muffler. Water seems...
Hey all I see alot of bikes in the photos section that have F1 slip-on pipes and was wondering how people like them? I tried a kerker 4/1 a few years back and...

Hey john I just ordered a Shop manual on CD for about $8.00 plus shipping, I just got it in the mail today and haven't tried it yet. But if it's good...I...
I have an '84. Low mileage, seems to be in tune. Sounds good, accelerates nicely. Still I seem to get about 130 or so per tank of gas. This seems low as...
If your air cleaner is clean, and your using the right plugs, than getting Carbs tuned is about the only other thing you can do to improve gas mileage. ...
I have an '84 also. I have had poor mileage (105 to a tank on big distance days, commuting I'd get 140). I'm at altitude. Foundout I had 125 jets in it, so now...
I have an '84. Stock to the best of my knowledge. I have only rode one tank really hard and got about 32mpg doing that. I usually ride about 25miles each way...
Ok cool. Thanks for the info. When I got the bike last year I cleaned the carbs and replaced most of the other stuff, but never had the carbs tuned. Maybe...
I have been thinking a little about selling the old Nighthawk and getting a dual-sport bike. I am 6'2"+ and a little cramped on my Honda. My buddy has a...
The Jets them selves hardly ever wear out. They may get clogged but that's about it. Check your needles on the sliders. Jim [Non-text portions of this message...
i lust got my 85 nighthawk s today when cornering it feels like its pushing not turning smothley it has weather checked front tire bould be a cause?...
The Nighhawk is a bit of a squirrely bike IMO. I've never had a bike that you couldn't let go of the bars and keep it straight. Not my Nighthawk - it gets...
I "m not sure what a 'Weather checked" front tire is.. It could be cold and bad wheel barrings or it could be your break pads dragging on the disk.. Start with...
I am finally getting another NH (sold my first one 12 years ago...stoopid!!!) I am currently looking at a 1985 (with 86 colors)to purchase. Apparently a dealer...
Bill So it has 86 colors but not the all black engine? I tend to shy from bikes that have been peaced together by others. I would think it could be nothing...
I still have recently worked over carbs (from a 1980 CB 650 fours) if memory serves, they are virtually the same unit. Are these the same carbs, or did they...
No, They changed carbs with the CB-SC bikes ... both 650 and 700 83-86, They went to KEIHIN carbs. But if you have done one type, their all pretty much the ...
You are right... the KLR 650 is an ENORMOUS bike. A buddy of mine got one and WOW !!! I am only 5-10 but I had to lean way over to touch the ground. I felt...
