Hello, Sorry it seems I accidentally sent a private message when I meant to post. I have been having a similar issue with my 82 Nighthawk 450, only the lights are on. At first I thought it was the battery, so I jumped it, but it did not work. Any suggestions on why it won't kick over? I thought it may be the spark plug, but someone said it was the starter. I just wanted another opinion before I started taking things apart and buying new parts. Also, if it is the starter, does anyone have a good website where I could purchase one? I can't seem to find a website online that sells starters for my bike. Thanks.
