HI Guy's here in Montreal were far from riding yet 12 inchs of white stuff and still falling. Is anyone seen the Tim Hodge exhaust and carb mod on this site...
Ever since I melted out a plug I have been having issues with the way the bike was running. I did a lot of troubleshooting going one step at a time (low...
This isn't much different from what I did on my 1000RR a little ways back. I was considering doing something similar at some point in time on this bike too. ...
I am going to borrow a compression tester from work (keep forgetting it) just in case, but I don't think so since the high speed performance was flawless. ...
One of the coils did test bad, so I know that is a problem. I am going to do a compression test first to see what I get. I also found a coil for sale right...
I had to wait this whole time for a coil from eBay. But the price was right. I never got to do the compression test like I planned. The compression tester...
Glad to hear you got your Nighthawk is back on the road, Joshua. Your wife's prolly happy about it, too ;-) Doug Banfelder Fastour Riders' Group ~ Magazine,...
I have noticed that when I may a reply with my e-mail that the reply goes to the person who sent the message and not to the group. I have also noticed that if...
Hmmm, track day. I have seen people doing track days on a Z-Rex, hadn't given it any serious thought on the NH. I am not that great of a rider and it isn't...
My bike has been idle for a couple of months and it is always hard to start after not being started for a while. I put in a new battery and was cranking the...
I would inspect/clean all the battery connections; grounds relay, everything. If there is corrosion anywhere (even if it looks okay) there will be a good ...
I found my motor and now I have many useable motor parts leftover. Some of them are: alternator w/cover, valve cover, cams, head w/valves, right side honda...
On my 1986 700SC I can't get the brake light to light up. I have put in a new bulb and even tried hooking the leads at the brake lever together and still...
Do you have a test light or volt meter? Get a hold of one or the other and start systematically testing for voltage along each junction until you find where...
I know the nighthawk was engineered to use the 130/90H16 but like evrey vehicle I have ever owned, I would like to change the tire size. I would like to know...
I did a search a while ago on tires and found that there was a person who went with I believe a 120 in the front and a 150 in the rear. I went for the stock ...
I finally changed my brake pads this weekend. Been a long time coming, just had to find the money for them (well, robbed Peter at least). The old pads were...
The problem with larger tire sizes on the rear -- especially going up to a 180 vs. a 150 -- is that it'll make your turn in WAY slower. The bike's geometry was...
I decided to have a little fun and pulled mine apart to tweak them a little. I found that the muffler is different then that of the one on the 750 seen in the...
I have stock tires on it now, so I don't know how the larger one will feel. What I do know is that I am leaning the bike over to the very edge now and I still...
... It's not so much the amount of meat a bike has under it as how well that meat works with the other geometry of the bike. The *correct* tires will give you...
Concur with Karl. If you want to make your old bike look more modern, the Pirelli Demon Sport tires have a tread pattern that mimics those on the recent bikes...
Speaking of the Sport Demons, what is your overall impression? I put a new Bridgestone BT45 on the rear last summer to match the 75% front. Haven`t had any...
I have only ridden 700Ses since I got licensed - not including the awful Buell Blast I took my Rider's Edge course on. It seems like a pretty good all-rounder,...
To the edge of the front, eh? I'd say you're riding pretty darn well there, Thomas! I think the Pirelli's are very good, but I haven't run the others. They...
Your three choices are all good. Although the Beemer 800's are unknowns at this point, it's likely they will be very competent; I'd wait for the reviews to...
Most people don't seem to like the V-Tec, but I hear it going both ways as well. The V-Tec wouldn't prevent me from buying one. No, a new Sprint ST or Futura...
