[Nighthawk Lovers] Dent removal

['Ross M. Jamison' via Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!]

Best methods I've seen, on YouTube, body working tool that goes inside & works 
it out and the device that uses A special piece that fits in the middle of the 
dent in it adheres using some type of glue then you attach a bridge over that 
piece that braces itself against the tank outside of the tent and twisted knob 
and it gradually pops out the dent. Those are the best message I've seen so 
far. For me my youngest's father-in-law has a body shop so I can probably have 
him do it. First I've got to get the bike running properly and I'm working on 
carburetors right now

 I thought about this and said to myself, DUH! that makes sense.
 
 Freeways are typically not crowned, so this may not apply, but ... does it 
 pull when you drive on the wrong side of the road?
 Go to England to diagnose that.
 
 But seriously, that would bug the crap outta me. I hope you figure it out.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Fuel system

['Ross M. Jamison' via Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!]

I purchased a Hopkins 10704 Fuel Flo spill saver. It will do exactly what I 
want. $8.20 on Amazon free shipping.  

I want to use it to make sure my fuel flow problems are not it the carbs. If 
so, they come off & get rebuilt.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Fuel petcock

['Ross M. Jamison' via Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!]

What is the middle pipe coming from the petcock- ambient air vent? The one 
pointing down is vacuum from the engine. Large one in back is fuel to the carbs.

Also, I had to repair the retainer plate for the fuel selector valve. See the 
gap? I wonder if that has anything to do with what I perceive is a fuel flow 
problem to the carbs? I went on line to Honda Parts Nation - $150.00 for a 
replacement file petcock.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] No Rejetting required for Exhaust Baffle removal

['Ross M. Jamison' via Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!]

Javier,

Thank you. Once again I doubt I will remove the baffles. The owner 2nd back 
from me, had pulled the baffles & drilled them.

Tell you a story. Back in February March, I was working on my bike and the 
cheapie rear axle lift, bent a tab and dumped my bike over. I tried to lift it 
myself but couldn't leverage it up. I had one (1) of my sons help me stand it 
up. 

My wife said why don't we get me a newer, smaller, lighter bike. That sounded 
good to me. I asked when & she said maybe August September. So I found a 2013 
Kawi KLX 250 with 47 miles on it. I came home & told her & we one of another 
mother of all fights.

Needless to say, I'm going to keep my 1992 750 Nighthawk. My uncle rode one up 
until he was was about 75. I'm only 59 & still act like a teenager, when my 
body allows. I also had a 1972 CB 750 back when. I have a soft spot for this 
bike.  I told my wife I will keep it but that I'm planning on fixing it up. No 
problem. The old girl needs a dent removed from the tank & the tank needs to be 
repainted. I have other repairs to do but the basic bike is solid. Right now it 
will idle but not accelerate. After all the repairs to correct that, I'm 
convinced it is screen mesh filter in the petcock. Gotta drain the tank & fix 
that. I travel a lot for work, so weekends are precious as far as family & 
grandchild time. Also, it's been so hot in Houston, you can't hardly work 
outside. (We move Houston in the summertime. It's about 2 ft from hell). It's 
starting to cool off so I can start working on it.

So that's my story & I'm sticking to it.

Your correct. You can typically get more performance from a stock bike with 
modifications.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Cb300

['Ross M. Jamison' via Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!]

I went to my local Honda dealership to look at a cb300f today. I wanted to see 
& feel how it fit. The dealer said they aren't selling any because of a factory 
recall. Apparently there is something wrong with the cranks & each bike has to 
be disassembled and inspected.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] It took less than two weeks...

['Ross M. Jamison' via Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!]

Welcome.

There is a saying I was taught - If you haven't been down, you're either lying 
or you haven't been riding long enough.

I'd say less than an hour after I had bought a used Kawasaki KZ-175, I 
accidentally popped a wheelie and went on the ground. The bike had hardly been 
hurt. I picked it up but forgot it was still running. Next thing I know I'm now 
heading east when I was going south. Legs flying behind me. That back in 1972. 
I've dropped my bike out in the driveway & had to get my son to help me get it 
back up. I have a 1992 Nighthawk 750.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] bike cut out

['Ross M. Jamison' via Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!]

Could be that the filter screen in the petcock that comes out of the fuel tank 
is semi plug. You'll have to drain the tank and take the petcock off and 
unscrew the lower part where that screen is in. At least that is the way it is 
with my 1992 750. Mine will run but it will not accelerate and I'm 99% sureit's 
a clogged filter screen

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] compression on cb450sc Nighthawk

['Ross M. Jamison' via Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!]

Jon,

Sounds like it could be valves or it could be a head gasket. A wet test usually 
indicates ring wear.  Take a vacuum gauge to the intake. If the needle jumps 
around, it indicates valves.

On lean run, make sure your not getting outside air being drawn into the 
cylinders between the carbs & cylinder I let. I think you said you tried that.  
In fact, now that I think about it lean conditions would lead to burnt valve

[Nighthawk Lovers] Carbs

['Ross M. Jamison' via Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!]

Shouldn't the accelerator pump actual when you twist the throttle? When the 
choke is engaged, does it prevent the accelerator pump from operating 

Got all 4 cylinders running with the choke on but dies the second you twist the 
throttle. Have not taken the fuel strainer screen out to see what condition it 
is.

Any suggestions at this point?

[Nighthawk Lovers] My bike

['Ross M. Jamison' via Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!]

Ok, here's the thing. I finally got off my rusty dusty and sprayed the carbs 
with cleaner through the air box. I had my wife come and work the throttle from 
closed to full open while spraying. I wanted to make sure I got the slides as 
clean as I could. I thought I had gotten a new air filter but the air filter is 
dirty. So I'll order a new one. I closed the choke all the way down and got a 
good high speed idle. I still cannot make a full throttle rev. It dies when I 
do it. I did however get all 4 cylinders firing. I'm beginning to think I have 
a fuel flow problem as in not enough. I'm letting it cool overnight & will see 
if I can get to the fuel filter/screen. It may be plugged or partially so. I 
also noticed the oil filter leaking, so I must not have tightened it properly

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Yamaha XJ650 front brakes

['Ross M. Jamison' via Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!]

Were you able to hone clean the master cylinder bore? Not sure you can hone, 
however, bore can get pitted & let pressure bypass through the bore. Work the 
brake lever with the top off the reservoir. If you see bubbles or fluid come 
back up in, you will have to replace master cylinder? Piston cups installed the 
right way? Got the correct kit?Check the caliper? Check for a pin/weep hole in 
the brake line

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Cylinder head nut tightening sequence

['Ross M. Jamison' via Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!]

Jeff,

Start in the middle and work your way out using an "X" pattern. Go up 5 -10 lbs 
or whatever the book says until you get to max torque. That will mean doing it 
several times.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Fuel Shut off Valve

['Ross M. Jamison' via Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!]

My understanding has been that pressure from that fuel can/will put a ring 
groove of the needle as it sets against the seat of the jet. I almost always 
turn my fuel off. I forgot to this summer & that is part of the problems I am 
having now. Will idle but not accelerate. Carb #4 is screwed up. 

I also need to check the basket filter in the fuel valve. It may be plugged 
with contaminates. That could lead to poor fuel flow. Work for the coming 
weekend

 wow!!! thanks for for immediate reply. 
 So my description is correct color does not matter. These two spikes ( 
 I only need one) go from the inside of the side covers and attach of the 
 grommet at the bike frame. 
 They are  made of plastic with a grove to squeeze into the grommet. 
 Maybe an inch and a half in length/ half inch wide.
