Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Help removing tank on 1984 700S

[Dave duChêne]

Support the rear of the tank to get it out of the way. The lines are
connected to the fuel shut-off. There is also an electrical connection.
Before you reconnect the lines make sure the ends aren't split or cracked.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Nighthawk winter storage

I have an '83 650 and 84 750. I've never had to touch the carbs and they
both work perfectly. Good idle and both pull strong up to about 8000 (my
redline). Just use Seafoam each fall before storing.
Guess I've been lucky.

No, I work for a water treatment company, I just use the small samples that

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] 650SC vs 700S for a tall rider

[Dave duChêne]

My 650 is an '83, the 750 is an '84. I can do about 6 hours on either one
but find the 750 more comfortable. Mileage is about the same, maybe because
the 650 has to work harder.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Tires

[Dave duChêne]

I'm looking for comments (experiences) with rear tires on a '84 750
Nighthawk. I've tried several brands and can't find one that gives me
decent mileage.
The Dunlop 402 is the best I've used so far (except that it's got Harley
Davidson written on it).

Got it !!! A couple of bad connections behind the headlight.
Wish Honda would find a better place to put these connectors.
My 650 is just as bad.
Thanks for the help.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Left rear turn signal won't work

[Dave duChêne]

1984 750S
So far, using my ohm meter, I've checked out the wiring from under the seat
to the bulb holder and confirmed that the bulb is OK. Also replaced the
flasher.
No luck.
Any ideas as to where to go from here will be greatly appreciated.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Tach (this may be posted twice)

Any ideas appreciated.
