These guys know more than I, but the NH 750 is notorious for a short with lights going out after start up randomly (from rain mostly I guess); and it was hard to figure out between the ignition, the light, or another switch. Each switch was over $50 plus labor, so that was bad timing for a starving student. Another forum suggested ACF-50, a hight tech aerospace spray for electronics with similar problems, but it said you have to take the switch apart first.
BS, for $25 with shipping, I got a big spray can and tried it without taking it apart first. Sure enough within a couple of days, it seeped through and worked like new since. My ignition is sticking a little now, so I still have a big 13 oz spray can left (when I find it) and I already know what to do. The spray lubricates by seeping in switch and puts a protective coat on all terminals and circuit board, and even hinge joints. Rain and Sun will ruin any switch eventually (over 20 years!) without a similar liquid tool. Same problem, different bike models, but it is a fail-safe first shot try with anything electronics problems. It has a big following, and I see why: it works! The first time it works, it pays for itself. http://www.amazon.com/Lear-Chemical-ACF50-Anti-Corrosion-Lubricant/dp/B000P1C8UO/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top On Saturday, November 8, 2014 1:48:59 PM UTC-8, Magnus wrote: > > Sup guys! > > Got my Nighthawk 450 '85 a couple of weeks back, and it's running great! > > An issue i'm having is with the ignition.
