I drove 70 miles back without any issues, runs like a kitten, battery remains charged (known issue...) Happy as a king Used it yesterday afternoon to do a little tour, all is well... Today, I want to use it... all light come on, starter starts, then all goes off... Impossible to get anything on anymore.. Web browsing (manuals are in the mail :-) ) found location of the 4 15 amps, all good. Main 30a fuse seems ok... What am I missing ?? I try the key juggle, verified all connections, got 12.6v on the battery... there must be another fuse somewhere ! Help !!!!!! Stef from NJ ! Kyle Munz <[email protected]> Oct 09 07:55PM -0500 ^ Is this a 650? If so check the wiring harness plugs in the back if the fuse block. -Kyle "Allen Thomas" <[email protected]> Oct 10 12:57AM ^ Not sure about your model but others have a fuse down by the starter relay.

Robert Kariniemi <[email protected]> Oct 09 08:58PM -0500 ^ I had the same problem on my 82 honda nighthawk 450 s c . It was a rusted fuse holder. Bought all new car style fuse holders and it has never happened again. Check for bad fuseholder or connections to it. [email protected] Oct 09 10:23PM -0400 ^ Did the fuse look good or did it test good? rodhall cb550sc -----Original Message----- From: marcel cerdan <[email protected]> To: Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers! <[email protected]> Sent: Sun, Oct 9, 2011 3:52 pm Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Day 2 : Power failure... help OK, Bought a very nice 1985 Nighthawk... yesterday.

Topic: Went for a ride up on Skyline drive Saturday Allen Thomas <[email protected]> Oct 09 05:55PM -0400 ^ For us it was about a 350 mile day. Here are some pictures of the trip. https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/sredir?uname=108432900696062043772&target=ALBUM&id=5661279935127667233&authkey=Gv1sRgCOTuupO9vez6iwE&feat=email Topic: Throttle cable routing. James O'Gorman <[email protected]> Oct 09 10:18AM -0700 ^ I'm not near my bike... and it's a 650. But here's a picture I found from when I brought it home for the first time (after years of sitting). You can see the two throttle cables between the tank and triple tree. Your results may vary... Topic: '99 250 seat Mike <[email protected]> Oct 09 09:58AM -0700 ^ Mr Corbin and the like don't seem to offer a replacement and more cushy seat for my 250 Nighthawk. I know about Airhawk strap on alternatives but wonder if others know of a total replacement seat available on the market. Thanks, Michael C. Topic: Ride today surfswab <[email protected]> Oct 09 04:57AM -0700 ^ Can't say I blame her. Riding pillion is not something I enjoy either. I've only done it once, when my bike broke down miles from nowhere and a passing stranger gave me a lift to town. I was back there braking, throttling and changing gears all the while, cuz the guy's riding style drove me nutz. Don't much care to have anyone up behind me either, unless she's sweet, petite, likes to cuddle and doesn't talk much. Solo's the way to go. Wanna spend time with your lady? Buy her a bike, I say. "Allen Thomas" <[email protected]> Oct 09 01:28PM ^ Then you got the issue of convincing her to go ride it. I know two people who have done that and both now just have an extra bike because she won't ride it. My wife has never been on a bike and has no desire to either.

Kurt Nolte <[email protected]> Oct 09 12:54PM -0400 ^ There would definitely need to be some class time for Chelle before she rides one solo. She's... not the most coordinated of folks, shall we say? And can be inattentive. She likes them, but like I've said before she likes the big ones. Trying to convince her to take a class to see if it's something she wants to pursue, but she's resisting that notion, albeit passively. -Kurt Topic: Here's what you can do with a sidecar paul annen <[email protected]> Oct 09 11:28AM -0400 ^ talk about taking the show on the road... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
