Allen Thomas <[email protected]> Aug 24 08:24PM -0400 ^ Good call on being in gear. Along those lines, the neutral safety switch could also be bad. -- Sent from my mobile device Joey Kelley <[email protected]> Aug 24 10:03PM -0400 ^ On my 82 450 I can start it in any gear, with or without the clutch in - I'm not certain, would have to find and look up my manual, but I'm not sure the 82 450 had a neutral safety switch. Either that or the previous owner bypassed it or its simply not working. -Joey -- -Joey Kelley Need Computer Technical support? http://www.crossloop.com/JoeyKelleyComputerServices At your service - via remote control! Kyle Munz <[email protected]> Aug 24 09:06PM -0500 ^ My 700 and 650 both will start in any gear too as long as the clutch is pulled in. It does have a kill switch hooked up to the clutch, that's something else to check. As long as the engine turns over by hand you can try shorting the starter to ground with a stout screwdriver. If you electrocute yourself or blow the bike up you didn't hear that advice from me ;) -Kyle [email protected] Aug 24 09:55PM -0500 ^ Then change 50-Amp Fusible Link >to ground with a stout screwdriver.

Mine will start if either the clutch in is or it's in neutral. The starter won't turn unless the clutch is depressed if I'm in gear. Your neutral safety switch is that big hump under the carburetors on the transmission. It's driven by a little cam on the shift drum and also works the 6th gear light. Topic: Ready to Roll [email protected] Aug 24 10:07PM -0500 ^ I've got 2-new tire's, rebuilt clutch slave-cylinder, rebuilt forks w/ new dust-seals., Ignition is fixed & I'm ready for inspection., & an adventurous winter! >bike >>up you didn't hear that advice from me ;) >>-Kyle On Tue, Aug 24, 2010 at 9:03 PM, Joey Kelley <mailto:[email protected]"; target="_blank" class=" parsedEmail parsedEmail >>class=" parsedEmail">mailto:[email protected]"; target="_blank" class="parsedEmail >parsedEmail">[email protected]. >> > For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/nighthawk_lovers?hl=en. -- >> http://www.crossloop.com/JoeyKelleyComputerServices >> At your service - via remote control! >> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google >>class=" parsedEmail">mailto:[email protected]"; target="_blank" class="parsedEmail >parsedEmail">[email protected]. >> For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/nighthawk_lovers?hl=en. -- >target="_blank"> >>target="_blank"> >target="_blank">http://groups.google.com/group/nighthawk_lovers?hl=en. -- Topic: LED Turn Signals Kyle Munz <[email protected]> Aug 24 09:19PM -0500 ^ I picked up some flush-mount Motrax indicators from cycle gear just to check them out. I didn't mount them or anything I just plugged them in to see if I would like them or not. The answer is "not". They weren't bright at all. The stock early 80s incandescent 70s-ish style blinkers that come on the bike were at least twice as bright. So much for progress. I already know about needing to replace the relay but I'll worry about that once I find brighter LEDs. I know there's been some talk about LEDs in the past, but what brand have people gone with? Were they brighter than the stockers? -Kyle "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Aug 24 07:32PM -0700 ^ Mine were super bright... But they werent flush mount.... Also bought from cycle gear, about $45 for the pair -----Original Message----- Date: Tuesday, August 24, 2010 10:20:17 pm To: [email protected] From: "Kyle Munz" <[email protected]> Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] LED Turn Signals I picked up some flush-mount Motrax indicators from cycle gear just to check them out.

Kyle Munz <[email protected]> Aug 24 10:04PM -0500 ^ I'll look for those tomorrow. Thanks. -Kyle Topic: seat Stumpi <[email protected]> Aug 24 05:29PM -0700 ^ I think your best bet is to reshape the seat yourself. This is the guide I was going to use before I decided to change bikes instead of seats. http://www.diymotorcycleseat.com/index.php Allen Thomas <[email protected]> Aug 24 08:30PM -0400 ^ I'm not at my computer I'll send some links later. But a quick google on rebuilding a motorcycle seat should return good info. We had a thread about this not long ago. I posted a bunch of links on suppliers. Definately use closed cell foam in case water gets in. Lots of people modify their seats to put in gell pads too. -- Sent from my mobile device Joey Kelley <[email protected]> Aug 24 10:01PM -0400 ^ Seafoam! (Inside group joke!) Hehehehe.... -Joey -- -Joey Kelley Need Computer Technical support? http://www.crossloop.com/JoeyKelleyComputerServices At your service - via remote control! paul annen <[email protected]> Aug 24 10:06PM -0400 ^ seafoam, lol Topic: I have to go.. Allen Thomas <[email protected]> Aug 24 08:41PM -0400 ^ Wouldn't it be better to not have to move to a county with a good school system, and instead just send them to a good school near where you want to live. That is the problem with taxing people more money than a private school charges and providing a canned one size fits all education. -- Sent from my mobile device Topic: cam cover gasket Allen Thomas <[email protected]> Aug 24 08:34PM -0400 ^ It's been my experience that you can reuse rubber gaskets, but not cork or paper even if they come off in one piece. -- Sent from my mobile device Topic: Look what I found... Kurt Nolte <[email protected]> Aug 24 12:40PM -0400 ^ They're everywhere! So are the bloody scooters, taking up all the motorcycle parking spots! -Kurt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
