Tyson: I went thru this on my 85 650 last year. Check the spark plug wires with an ohm meter. I found 2 of the 4 bad on my bike. The coils, remove and take to...
I have never gotten into my "reserve" tank, and as thus, am not sure how it works. I still haven't gotten my hands on a '93 NH 750 manual. I filled up, then...
You don't have to worry about switching to the reserve. The bike will start to lose power and sputter. Just reach down beside of your left knee (should...
Couple of related questions: Is it important to turn the fuel switch off when the bike is parked for awhile? How about the engine kill switch? Should that be...
Thanks, Roger. I am going to go ahead and let this tank run out, and get familiar with the reserve system. I need to be familiar with it, for obvious ...
... There is no separate reserve area. A pipe sticks up into the gas tank. When the selector valve is in the 'on' position, the gas feeds from the top of...
I'm rebuilding an 84 from two bikes and have an extra starter. Make me an offer, I don't know for sure what it's worth. Geo ... roughly 300 and soem odd...
... Stock gearing for the 90's NH's is 15T front and 38T rear, resulting in a ratio of 38/15 = 2.53. To go to higher gearing (less engine revs at a given...
Yes John, It covers 1979 through 1984 CB650 fours and mentions the Nighthawk in that group. I came across the article from a used motorcyles magazine from...
My CB700S gets 50 m.p.g. average city and highway combined riding. That is keeping the revs 5000 r.p.m. and below. If I go above those revs the fuel ...
Make sure you are VERY familiar with the location and operation of the reserve fuel tap without looking down. If you are in the 3rd lane on the highway, you ...
Walt, It does not matter if the petcock (fuel tap) is left in the "ON" position, as long as the petcock is in working properly. The fuel is sucked down by...
Found it! - the British web site for used Hondas http://www.umgweb.com/usedguidhonda.html As the CB700SC is a USA model, there is not a direct review of it in...
http://www.umgweb.com/0hcb5565.htm By the way, this is a British magazine. For the benefit of readers in the USA, 62 m.p.g. (British) equals 49.6 m.p.g. in the...
... Yeah, I did remember to put some oil on the new filter. I didn't use any type of wrench to tighten it on, so I hope I have it tight enough. I was going to...
How do you check the oil level on your bike? I know it seems like a dumb question, the manual states wait 2to3 minutes(center stand engine warm)I assume the...
... You could wait a hour if you wanted to, but it wouldn't matter. Just allow enough time for the oil to drain back into the sump and you'll be ok. Jim '99 NH...
5 to 10 minutes after shutting off the engine will give you the same reading as 2 to 3 miutes after shutting off, as long as the engine is warmed up before...
As long as the oil level is somewhere on the hatched area of the oil stick, without screwing in, anyway. That is a pretty wide margin. Charlie CB700S ... ...
I am looking for just a basic motorcycle cover. I looked at "Motorcycle Online" and I have noted the following two from Dow, which I think seem reasonable ...
Hey Malcolm, First off I want to thank you for putting me in touch with Honda Peninsula. They took good care of me and I received the new stickers about a week...
The position of the plugs of the '90s NH could really cause some problems if you did not get the surrounding area cleaned out good. I found all kind of rocks...
While I'm thinking about it I had bought a plug gap gauge that looked like a 50 cent piece. In fact I bought two but the first one I bought had been chromed...
I have found in the past as long as you get out the big pieces of debris around the plugs - thats the main thing. If a few small bits fall in the operation of ...
I went to Dowco's website, www.dowco-inc.com and it would appear that the "Legend" cover is more of a lightweight travelling cover and for storage of the bike,...
Charlie: It wasn't particularly cold; the temps were in the upper 50s to low 60's; I may have had some crust of some kind in the bolt hole, as it was turning...
I have decided to go through motorcycle accessory warehouse (MAW), www.accwhse.com and their prices are as shown below. I am going for the Dowco Guardian Super...
Dear all, I'm about to buy a second hand 1984 Honda CB 650 SC Nighthawk - please, tell me what should I be careful for regarding this model? Can somebody tell...
Hi guys. Having a little trouble with my 1992 Nighthawk. The handlebars have some play in them. I can push them forward and back. I first noticed it when I ...
