The styling on the 700 tank is pretty unique to the bike, anything else 
wouldn't look right. That said, I don't know of any other models that would 
physically fit.

RE: [Nighthawk Lovers] 1985 CB650 Idle Mixture screws?

The mixture screws should be on the throats between the bowls and the head.

When you reinstalled them, did you synch them? That can produce similar
issues.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: "Fork Circlip Holes are Stripped" (The circlip fits in a groove on the outer wall of the fork piston?)

[Tyler Garman]

Hey Bernie,

the holes didn't exactly strip, the entire ends of the circlip snapped off 
from the end back to the first little indent, on both sides. I 'may' have 
been applying too much force with a tool not designed for the work I was 
trying to do :) . Ended up being a pretty costly mistake as I have no way 
to get the circlip out now (it has no holes) and I will have to replace the 
whole fork leg.

[Nighthawk Lovers] 1985 CB650 Idle Mixture screws?

[Tyler Garman]

I took off all 4 carbs and cleaned them all up thoroughly, changed the oil 
and filter, air filter, and put it all back together. The bike starts great 
and idles right around 1100rpm. Initially i tried to give it some gas and 
it sputtered and died. started again and let it warm up for a few minutes 
with the choke all the way off. I was able to give it some gas and got a 
good response, but still get a slight stutter when I initially roll on the 
throttle. I'd like to adjust the idle mixture on the carbs as to me this 
indicates it is running a bit lean. I've done some research and looked all 
over the carbs and have not found anything that obviously looks like a 
screw to adjust the mixture. 

Does anyone know if/where on my '85 650 where I might find adjustments for 
the idle mixture?\

thanks for your time!

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: New Nighthawk Owner 2002 750 Black

[Kurt Nolte]

No tach cable on a 2002, it's all electronic.

If your tach jumps about or acts erratically, it could be a dirty
connection, but it is also possibly a failed capacitor in the circuit
inside the housing. This can be fixed, but it's not a novice task.

X2 on the carb cleaning. You can try an in-place cleaner like seafoam. In
my experience almost every used bike can benefit from a carb cleaning,
re-synch and going over after purchase.

You can adjust the preload on the rear springs, but at fifteen years old be
ready to put new ones one. Progressive Suspension makes nice ones.

Try lubricating the tach cable - also maybe some graphite powder in the 
bottom of the tach where the cable attaches.

rough running and poor performance at less than WOT indicates that a carb 
cleaning is in your future X4

[Nighthawk Lovers] New Nighthawk Owner 2002 750 Black

[Michael Giumenti]

Hello all I just bought a used 2002 Honda Nighthawk, its in good condition but 
I am having several issues and wanted to get your advice.  1st. The tach will 
only bounce around and be erratic does it need replace or maybe a fuse or 
connection issue.  2nd At steady speeds the bike runs rough and acceleration is 
weak until I wind it up to shift.  3rd seems very hard over bumps so I'm not 
sure if the shocks are set up hard or need adjusted.  Thanks for your advice!

Decent Instrument cluster in working condition - has a crack in the 
material surrounding the ignition switch (don't understand how that could 
have happened) - $50 + shipping
