To Kim or Dennis or other most knowledgeable Nighthawkers,
When you are adjusting the chain tension should the bike be on the
centerstand or sidestand or does it matter? Also, if the alignment
marks on the swingarm are lined up on both sides, should the bolt
stems coming out of the back of the two swingarms (that the
adjusting nuts are screwed onto) be exactly equal in length when
the rear wheel is in proper alignment.? If so, wouldn't it be
easier just to adjust the respective nuts so that the visible
threads on the bolts could be measured and the nuts adjusted for
equal length? Sometimes, the longer I go back and forth looking at
the alignment marks on each swing arm, the harder it is to tell if
they're at exactly the same place. Thanks, Barge

They charge at about 3000 rpm and above so it won't really help.
The best idle speed is between 1000 and 1200 rpm. I'm glad to hear
that you got out and about. I'm in Idaho and the weather sucks.

WOW. It is good to be riding again in Colorado that officially means
Spring for me. Last weekend I took my bike to a local mechanic. He
changed oil, charged and installed the battery, and gave everything a
good once over.
He also changed the idle speed to about 1,600 so the battery would
charge some at idle. I know these bikes do not charge well at idle and
he seemed to think raising the idle speed was a great idea.
What do all of you think? What are the pros/cons for a higher speed on
these 83-85 650 Nighthawks?
Any comments would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Nighthawk Nathan
