Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Help!
On the back of the bulb it isn't hard to get to, it's the dark green wire but it runs through a dozen connections before actually grounding to the frame. I can't tell you exactly where because my bike's DSPO got in there with some duct tape and a bit of lamp cord. I would guess the stock location is under the tank maybe. If you had a meter it's a quick continuity test between the plug and the negative battery cable but that may not help in your situation.

Ohms reading would be more informative, but it's the same basics. Multimeter, stick one probe in the lamp ground, stick the other on the negative battery terminal.

They're different. 650 has plastic blade fuses and hangs off the front. The 700S uses glass fuses and is between the handlebars.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Ol' Yeller rides again
We saw signs for bear all over Alberta but never saw any bears. I even tried making picanic basket noises with no luck. The only wildlife I saw were some big deer looking things. I think they were elk but could just as easily have been mooses since I wouldn't know one from the other.

When I took my family through BC we were on a 90 kilometer dirt road, I thought the sign said 9 kilometers but it truly was one of the best parts of our trip. Anyway, we rounded a corner to find a brown bear sitting in the middle of the road. He looked at us like what are you doing here got up and ambled into the bushes. It was amazing and my kids were really excited. I wanted to jump out and take pictures but my wife stopped me - I guess she didn't want me to get eaten. On my motorcycle trip on Victoria BC island I had a cougar, or so a friend from there told me it probably was, run across the road about 100 feet in front of me. Very cool and got the pulse rate up.

No N light, but will go buy all new fuses in the am and replace all. Remove fuse box (not in this order) and looked inside. Found a dead spider and cocoon looking web. All other wires looked fine!

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Ol' Yeller rides again
Did you go to Victoria BC? I grew up in Tacoma (Family moved to Nor Cal when I was in 8th grade) and when I did my trip I got on the Ferry in Port Angeles. Funny thing is - it's the same exact ferry from the mid-70's. I have a picture of me standing in the exact spot as when I was in maybe 6th grade. I took my family on the same trip a year later and have a picture with the family in the same spot. Great memories. I'll have to dig up some of the pictures from those trips. It really is pretty in Western Canada and the weather is great for about 2 months of the year. Anyway - keep heading east in Canada as long as you can. I think it's prettier than the equivalent parts of the US and you'll probably not make it back any time soon.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Ol' Yeller rides again
Canadian bears must like vehicles. When I took my family through BC we were on a 90 kilometer dirt road, I thought the sign said 9 kilometers but it truly was one of the best parts of our trip. Anyway, we rounded a corner to find a brown bear sitting in the middle of the road. He looked at us like what are you doing here got up and ambled into the bushes. It was amazing and my kids were really excited. I wanted to jump out and take pictures but my wife stopped me - I guess she didn't want me to get eaten. On my motorcycle trip on Victoria BC island I had a cougar, or so a friend from there told me it probably was, run across the road about 100 feet in front of me. Very cool and got the pulse rate up.

I'm not sure if the 650 and the 700s have the same fuse panel but pushing on the fuse block has fixed a no dash or headlight issue for me on more than one bike.

The 650 has glass fuses and does sit up front behind the horns. But it is the brown plastic bulkhead plugs that attach to the mess of brass bars in the back of the unit that are the problem IMHO.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Help!
You may have a bad ground on the headlight which is why both high and low went at the same time. With the fuses - were they pulled while the power was on? They could have popped when you pushed the fuse back in. If you are umm... Confident... That there are no shorts, then you can jump the fuse until you get home. Not recommend of course. It is impossible to know for sure without using a meter.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Help!
You have a 650? The plugs on the back of the fuse block can come loose, also a fuse can look good but still be bad. You really need a multimeter to test them. Also check the right hand controls and your ground wires.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Help!
And the no- start. If your ignition still has power, you can always pop the clutch just like in a car. It can get hairy, but if you are in a pinch... Don't drop the bike when your doing it. Straddle the seat and get it rolling downhill. Then pick you feet up, put in first gear and release the clutch. This will spin the engine. Then pull the clutch back in just like when you release the start button. Then you can proceed as normal.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Help!
Sorry. My 700S. Never touched fuses with power on.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Help!
Oh, and now the headlight is not what I am worried about. Gotta get it to run so I can park it in the garage at the Irport. Will be gone for a month! Will try pushing with help, but have my doubts. I think no ignition, now. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers! group.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Help!
The starter button disables the headlight when pressed and starting the motor, but that's just a guess. Push starting can work without the hill but it ain't fun, especially in Florida heat, and you'll look ridiculous while pushing it. Put it in 2nd, pull in the clutch, run as fast as you can, jump onto the seat without falling over or dropping the bike and pop the clutch. If it catches pull the clutch back in before it stalls.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Help!
Thanks. I wil try that when the rain stops. Very familiar and have done it many times.
