[Nighthawk Lovers] I think I'm in luv
Haven't bought a bike brand new since the 80s, but I'd go for this one in a heartbeat if they'd sell it here. It looks for all the world to be a Triumph, but it's grandaddy was a model I had in the 60s -- the Meguro Motor Works W1 (BSA 500 clone). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3J_IlnUfeIA Ride review here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86q1KTb0V4Y -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers! group.

I assume that is yet another cool bike that they will never sell to the US.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Sticking ignition
Can anyone tell me what would be good to use to free up a sticky ignition? Even with a newly cut key, its hard to turn the key. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers! group.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Sticking ignition
I've seen locksmiths use a fine graphite powder rather than any oils like WD40 or anything. I'd be careful using that around the electronics tho as it's conductive. -Kyle On Fri, Jan 20, 2012 at 8:57 PM, Greg Holuban gman...@msn.com wrote: Can anyone tell me what would be good to use to free up a sticky ignition?

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Sticking ignition
Don't they hit the new keys with a wire-wheel to 'soften' the edges? The new key for my bike is kinda tough to use, but I've got the moves all figured out on how to make it turn :) On Jan 20, 2012, at 18:57 PM, Greg Holuban wrote: Can anyone tell me what would be good to use to free up a sticky ignition?

Yeah. Graphite. And a little time to let it wear in.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: I think I'm in luv
Basically. They had a 650 version from '99 to '08, but only imported
it for two years ('00-'01) before bailing out of the U.S. market
because of slow sales.
So I guess they're too timid to try it again, even with an updated
model.
Anyway, from all I've read and heard, it's sweet.
