Folks, Just cross posting this as you may find it useful some day. I can tell you without reservation this is the easiest and cleanest method to remove rust...
Hi David, My own experiences: the amount of clunck when going into first (from neutral) varies quite strongly. I suppose it relies on the position of the gears...
I'm in concurrance with Jan on all points mentioned. Rear wheel should spin, even in neutral. An old trick for engine swap is to lay the motor on it's side,...
Another in the agree mode, except the engine swap thing. I didn't read that whole thing about tilting the bike over until after I had swapped my engine over,...
Hi folks, I wanted to renew the photo in my profile and found out I couldn't upload any more because yahoo-photo's will be terminated from september 20....
Have to react upon my own post: visiting my own album, I found this message: Yahoo! Groups photos will NOT be affected by the closure of Yahoo! Photos on...
I have almost completed my clutch plates replacement, but ran into a snag. It seems that while I had the clutch basket apart, I mistakenly pumped the clutch...
Pat, Go to the other side and pull the clutch slave cylinder. That will allow you to push the clutch lifter rod back into position and finish the clutch...
Hi Folks, I recently restored an old Greer fairing and looking for feedback whether you like or dislike it. For purists I've heard it just looks wrong to it's...
IMO it doesn't look bad at all. I'm not a purist (mounted a windscreen myself) so it doesn't bother me that is alters the looks. The only disadvantage in my...
Anybody know where to get forward mounted highway pegs that fit 1985 700S. If you have a bike with them mounted, could you post the pic. I remember seeing a...
Hello all, Headshakes have been discussed before but I like to share my experience of today: in fact a simple experience, I had a new front tire mounted this...
John, I like the look, it makes your bike different and it's cool that you have period perfect aftermarket bodywork on your Nighthawk S. Jan is right, for any...
Can anyone tell me if they were pleased with 10" or 10" + 2" Gustafsson windshields, on their 700S. I am 5'8" and have the stock seat right now, but am...
I bout my NH 700 in June. With 7500mil on it. And with the full intent to ride it from DE to LA and back. And I did it in 4 weeks! And had an unbelievable...
Congrats on a successful trip, Kirk. On the seat, another inexpensive option is to add a beaded seat cover. A friend uses one on his N'hawk and he's done a...
All, Just wanted to see if I could get some troubleshooting advice. by way of warning, my motorcycle mechanical knowledge is pretty limited. My '84 700s is my...
I had the same clicking noise - couldn't figure out what was going on - everything looked fine. I took the leads off the battery cleaned the leads and cleaned...
I've had the same situation many times. I think a key here is "wouldn't start when hot". If you have ever touched your starter motor after riding, you can't...
Looking to buy engine guards for my 1985 700s. If possible like the ones on the the 1st photo of our home page. The blue and white bike with black engine...
I replaced the plates and spring in my clutch and then went to give 'er a go. I rode it for around the block once and then - clutch slips! I figured it must...
If the clutch was slipping it shouldn't be the hydraulics causing it, unless the hydraulics are leaving it disengaged. If you had air in the system or a leak,...
Ran out of gas today with a gallon still in the tank?Went to reserve but it would not deliver gas steadily even putting bike on it's side.I know the tank is...
By chance did your vacumn tube fall off or get a hole in it? Remember, the type of petcock in the 700S has a diaphram that is actuated by vacumn. If there is...
I haven't had time yet to troubleshoot, but it looks like something in my charging system is done for. So in case I do get the time to figure it out, I am ...
