Mustapha From: Simon Ehrlich Sent: 6/16/2014 7:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] My first bike! 83 650 Nighthawk with a loose camchain tensioner (I think?) So I totally fell in love with this bike, even though the cam chain makes an awful noise between 2 and 3.5k rpm. I figured it wasn't a major issue as I had seen a video on an adjustment to tighten it up. Though now I realize that was for different year, and mine is not adjustable. So I either live with it (it's not going to kill me right!?) or I find replacement parts, spring, slider, chain, etc. I'm fairly mechanical, and have always done all my own repairs on the old toyotas and diesel mercedes I've owned, so I'm not too intimidated by the job, but I'm having a hard time locating the parts. Are these still available new? Is it even worth the trouble or should I sell the bike and find one it better condition? Any advise is appreciated!
