Hey guys, of course there is at least a couple more methods to achieve better torque out of these motors. I just got a Stage 1&2 jet kit w/K&N filter. Not that...
Hey folks, if you haven't seen this some of the "motivational" posters are absolutely hilarious. Just paste the link in address bar and enjoy Dick MacInnes...
There are only two ways to increase HP; increase torque or the RPM's. So if you are still reving in the same range, but you have more HP now, you have more...
Hi Gang,,, Newcomer here. I've got an '84 that needs new skins... I've had her for about 5 weeks or so... What are your preferences and why.... I'm 58 years...
Remember that the Honda engineers had to design one bike with one setting for every buyer. You can please some of the people all the time or some of the...
What kind of headshake? In any case I wouldn't ignore it. Common causes of instability are worn or unbalanced tires (so new tires might clear up the wobble...)...
I just made the best move ever and bought my Nighthawk back. The guy saved all the parts. I have all kinds of spares I need to sell cheap, to finish this bike....
I raced a Harley today and after some really hard riding I managed to PASS the guy. I was riding on one of those really, really twisting sections of country...
How are you guys adjusting the idle mixture screw on the #3 cylinder? I hate these things. Soon as I can afford the down time and parts, I am tossing those...
Hi Josh, Never did that. Got it tuned at Dynojet two years ago and never touched it since. You know what they say: if it ain't broken........ But if the...
Nothing is wrong with any of the carbs (that I can see), I just had them off this weekend. I am having low speed issues again, but I think like last time it ...
Hi all. I am interested,and looking to buy a Honda Nighthawk for up to $1500, in excellent mechanical condition, in the San Francisco Bay area. Specifically, a...
Please pardon my enormous ignorance but could someone clarify how to read the oil dipstick? I'm assuming it's to be checked while the bike is level on the...
Hi Thom, It's not always obvious how to read the dipstick. The cross-hatch section is the reading area. To read the oil level the dipstick is placed in the...
All of that is true but you must wait two to three minutes ( after turning the engine off ) so the oil can drain back to the engine case, otherwise you will...
Keep the oil level at the top of the cross-hatched section, Tom. You'll see this is where it ends up when you change the oil and fill with the shop manual's...
You're very right about that last sentence....! The crossed section forms the range from lower to upper level. While checking, the bike must be level and the...
I am in the same position. I just change the oil filter right now as there is no point in changing the oil with as much as I put in :) When I check the oil, I...
That's good to know, Joshua, thanks. It's funny now to consider how "being a pint low" makes me worry about grenading the motor... Doug Doug Banfelder Fastour...
I just bought a 1984 Honda Nighthawk 700sc. It has a small back rest, but i want a larger / longer one for more protection from passenger falling off the back....
Ok, don't get me wrong I don't want to kill the ozone layer, but I can't make heads or tails of this CA emissions crap. I am getting ready to drop in my spare...
What emissions stuff is on the '86 compared to the '84? The '84 stuff is not only real easy, but better for the engine to leave it on as it keeps the ...
... He's talking about CA (as is Kalifornication) emissions which, if it's the same as on the Sabres and Magnas, there are a "bunch" of vacuum hoses all over...
I am one of those California types.... ...running out to the garage.... ....yep, just checked, mine is a CA spec model too (never know with all the military...
Hi all. I just bought myself a 1984 Honda Nighthawk CB700sc. Wonderful bike so far. Good high end power, corbin seat, tiny rear rack which ive mounted a...
