you can get nitrogen to put in there, Belle tire her in michigan can do it. I'm getting the seals done right now and when I get it back I'm going right there. ...
Aaron, hold on there!!!! You have been misled by someone. Nitrogen pressurization is not for our "dinosaur" forks. It's for more modern, dirt bike-type...
ya, ya hold on there, I've checked and its OK. They have a pressure reducer that's electronic, 0-150psi, not too shabby, it cuts of at desired amount. though...
Speaking of forks... I recently noticed an increasing amount of oil on the right fork after riding. After keeping an eye on it for a few days, I think it's...
Well, I just did mine yesterday. It`s pretty straight forward but 2 things might help if you haven`t done it before or you don`t have an impact wrench: 1.After...
Forgot to mention, loosen the top triple bolt holding the forks before you loosen the fork caps. It will work much better. ... Tom Mutant VF1000R "Far better...
I also have leaking fork seals. What have people used to remove the old seals from the tubes, and install the new ones without damage? I seem to recall some...
Use a small, thin screwdriver to pry up the dust seal, first one side, then the other, working your way around the seal. Do NOT use leverage against the fork ...

I'm glad that you guys have had this discussion. This weekend I took my tank off to make sure the plug wires had been routed to the correct cylinders. As I...
Has anyone ever put a 4 into 1 exhaust on these bikes? If so, how did it affect performance and sound, and did the bike have to be rejetted? There is one on...
Hey guys, Lately I've been searching for extra transmission gears for my S. I'll be tearing down the engine soon and replacing/undercutting gears to fix some ...
I put Progressive fork springs in a couple of years ago along with 15 wt fork oil and it made a big difference in the ride. Prior to that the bike was...
Last night, getting on the bike to go home, turned on the ignition key, all lights came on, hit the starter and everything went dead. I took the battery side...
First guess, one of the battery terminals. Clean them and retighten. 2nd guess, the ignition switch. Mine has to be turned "just so" to light up. When you...
When I bought my '85 (way back in '88)it had a Kerker 4 into 1 exhaust already installed. The previous owner did not rejet the carbs, and I had no problems...
I'm agreeing with Steve on this one - perhaps it's the ignition switch. I had a similar problem last year where I had to disassemble the ignition switch and...
Wiggling the key doesn't help. I cleaned & rebuilt the ignition switch last year also, and it has been fault less ever since (well since yesterday). I will...
yep samething, the positive terminal was badly corroded. cleaned it and it worked fine. aaron steve harte <bruzbros1@...> wrote: First guess, one of...
Hello everyone. I just found this forum yesterday while I was trying to find some info about one of the world's greatest bikes. My very first bike was a '84...
I paid $1,500 for mine a couple of years ago when it had about 23,000 miles. It now has 47,000 miles. Assuming the bike you found has been fairly well taken...
Hello All, I've always loved the Nighthawk S and I'm in the market for one now. I have found several on eBay, but would like to find one close by so that I...

I bought my '85 nighthawk in January. It is the first one I have ever owned and it was my dream bike in '86 when I was 16. I notice there is a pretty good...
Common, but not good. 1) Worn front tire. Replace 2) Misaligned fork tubes. Measure tops above top triple clamp. Equalize. 3) Worn steering head bearings....
Anyone help with this bike?Bike will not accelerate.first started only with choke on,but now will idle without it (Iadjusted the idle screw down) but will not...
Hi Jake, Yes, it is 'normal' albeit it's not what you want. I have it too but it's not a real problem. One hand at the handlebar is enough. And: at least one...
Perhaps your engine gets too much air and therefore a mixture that is too lean. For example through a loose connection, a faulty gasket or a loose or torn air...
