Hey Ryan I have a very similar issue with my NH550. Taillight cuts out sometimes, sometimes eveything just goes dead. Nothing goes on til I wiggle the key in the ignition a bit. I think its a loose connection, but my mechanic says the rectifier's shot, and it has destroying the battery. Can't find the part, and even after I do, I'm not convinced that's the solution. Maybe water got in and a bad connection resulted in the rectifier problem. This is a huge bummer, cuz I have the week off and the weather around Vancouver is beautiful this week. Let me know how things progress and I'll do the same. Paul N. (stranded in Van)

Last night I pointed my headlight at the garage door to adjust it vertically. It seemed the headlight was aiming a little high. As I loosened the two screws on each side and angled the headlight down, all lights shut off. I'm guessing wires are probably pinching underneath the headlight. I managed to angle it down keeping everything on. I sat on the bike and checked the headlight position, etc. I realized my tail light indicator was on, which i'm guessing means you tail light isn't working, because as I looked back, it was not on. I turned my key slightly more to the right and the tail light came on, indicator off. I've also noticed if I wiggle the key in the ignition the bike cuts out. Do I have a major electrical issue ahead of me. Need a new ignition swith? I'd appreciate any help. dub. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
