Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Hello Nighthawk Riders

[bobcat732]

I, too, will be sorry to see this go (if it does). I also sold my Nighthawk
but have always enjoyed the back and forth between everyone and I learned a
few things too. At 75 I am still riding some when I can. It does still give
me, and I'm sure you all too, that wind in your face great feeling. Good
luck all and be safe, Wynn

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Need advice on exhaust system

[bobcat732]

I have a couple of sets of 650 exhausts, one ok one better. I've offered
them in the past but the cost of shipping seems to get in they way of
anyone getting them. They don't pack too well and are oversize for regular
shipping. Let me know if you're interested in any way. If not, OK. Thanks

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: No way the crush gaskets are coming out

[bobcat732]

Don't forget they are copper. Softer than anything else there. A little
tapping at them w/a screwdriver or pick and you most likely begin a hole in
the thing or a little break and then you can begin to pry from underneath.
Use plenty of pb or the like and they should pop out. I'd stuff a rag in
the hole just to keep out any flying junk.

 Hi - I'm trying to source a complete exhaust/muffler system for a 1983 650

 I have found a used system on ebay described as 'Honda CB650-SC NIGHTHAWK
 CB 650 SC Used 4 INTO 2 Exhaust System 1985 HB74'.
 The exhaust looks ok and I reckon the cost even with shipping may be
 worthwhile. Only reservation is if the 1985 system is compatible with the
 1983 model I have. As far as I have been able to find out the product code
 seems to be the same.
 Any advice would be appreciated

 Hi Gang,

 Looking to replace the rear turn signal stems on my 650.  I've found them
 for about $10 each.

 I'm wondering which ones are the right fit.  There were some reviews about
 not fitting properly

 There's: Bikemaster #'s 12-207  12-209

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] My first bike! 83 650 Nighthawk with a loose cam chain tensioner (I think?)

I don't think there is a way on the 83-83 650's. Part are non existent.

 So I totally fell in love with this bike, even though the cam chain makes
 an awful noise between 2 and 3.5k rpm. I figured it wasn't a major issue as
 I had seen a video on an adjustment to tighten it up. Though now I realize
 that was for different year, and mine is not adjustable. So I either live
 with it (it's not going to kill me right!?) or I find replacement parts,
 spring, slider, chain, etc. I'm fairly mechanical, and have always done all
 my own repairs on the old toyotas and diesel mercedes I've owned, so I'm
 not too intimidated by the job, but I'm having a hard time locating the
 parts. Are these still available new? Is it even worth the trouble or
 should I sell the bike and find one it better condition? Any advise is
 appreciated! Thanks!

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Slip Sliding Away

I have a corbin seat on my 84 650. It's really a improvement over the stock
seat and eliminates all the problems you mentioned. They aren't cheap, but
if you ride a lot it's a worthy investment and if you sell, you can put the
stock seat back on and then sell the corbin separately.

 more support, but the Nighthawk seat is pretty flat and therefore SLICK.
 I've noticed when starting and stopping my bum slides around a bit. Took my

   Nighthawk friends,

 I am selling my non-running 1985 Nighthawk CB650SC in Vienna, Virginia.
  It tipped over in a storm when I away for a long weekend and flooded out,
 and has some issues, but a good bike for someone wanting to do a carb job
 and reassemble.  The goods…..
 - I rode nearly daily for many years (commute) and no problems
 - has both side covers and a nice Sargent seat.  27,000 ish miles (see
 photo)
 - good Spitfire tires, a sissy bar I never used, nice shaft drive of the
 model

  - the price is right (just looking to clear out the garage and find it
 a good home/use)
 And the bads…..
 - non-running for a year….flooded out and now certainly gummy needing a
 carb job
 - rear red light cover is cracked (but I used it that way for years, and
 I have a better one (barely cracked) as spare)
 - I've only tacked it together (pillion handle, seat, sissy bar, side
 covers)
 - some surface chrome-rust
 - several square inch area on right rear of gas tank has a marginal
 paint repair (lighter color blue, visible in right side photo)
 And the quirks….
 - round mirrors vice the stock rectangular
 - the usual model/year anemic charging system and low fuel tankage.


 Contact Mike Bosworth at michael dot bosworth at mac dot com or
 703-864-4174.  You'll need to have your own ability to haul away….I've
 got ramp planks.  $200 obo.

150cc's was as much as you could have. Now anything over 100cc's has to be
a 4 stroke. I did see a pretty good looking 125 Yamaha 4 stroke.

 Gene,
 I don't mean any disrespect but you are flat out wrong and spreading
 misinformation... If you hook a positive up to the ground/- it will cause a
 short and burn a fuse. Hooking them both together doesn't make them
 brighter it just feeds over the flasher relay and causes the light to stay
 on and then turn signal not to function. The voltage doesn't change the
 brightness doesn't change.

 I disagree.  Assuming you have the correct ground/common wire on the bulb
 connected to ground on the bike, what you do – or don’t do – with the third
 wire is incidental.  Fasten it to a ground if you wish, it doesn’t matter.
 Put a band aid on it, dip it in vodka, etc. etc..  You could even hook up
 both “hot” wires together, and have them on at the same time, but brighter!

 The third wire is the wire for the always on running lights. I've been
 hunting for LED 3-wire lights for quite some time, nobody seems interested
 in making them. As long as you have that wire end tied off somewhere that
 it can't come in contact with a ground, you'll be fine. Tape up the end,
 tie it back securely, and run with two-wire lights.

 -Kurt

 PS: There IS a way to make two-wire lights function as three-wire lights,
 but it involves splicing power diodes into your lines, which takes a bit of
 doing and some careful component selection and in most cases isn't really
 worth it, in my opinion.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] trouble with my poor 650 nighthawk

[bobcat732]

This is a problem with the two plugs from the ignition switch that mount to
the back of the fuse box. They may be beyond repair and you'll need a new
(used) switch. You may be able to get them out and clean the contacts and
be OK. be sure to use dielectric grease when reassembling. This has
happened to me twice. I'd be riding along and the bike would just shut off.
I'd reach up and wiggle the wires at the back of the fuse box and the thing
would come back to life. After replacing the switch and fuse box (in my
case, it was burned pretty well) all has been well for some time.

 hello.

 i seem to be having a problem with my bike. last week i went to the market
 and my bike was running fine. when i came out to go home, i put the key in
 and nothing. no lights, no power to anything.
 immediately i assumed it was the 30A fuse attached to the starter relay
 and replaced it. no good.
 then i checked the battery by bridging the terminals in the relay, the
 bike cranked over fine so the battery is good. [ps i put the bike on a
 boost charger when i got home and affirmed the battery is good.]
 next i tried to power one of the coils directly from the battery to see if
 i could at least get the engine to fire those cylinders, no luck with that.
 i am assuming that something is grounding the coils because of this.
 i have changed every fuse in the bike that i could find [the ones behind
 the headlight even though they all seem to be for lights and guages and the
 30A next to the starter relay.
 im left with assuming it is either something with the ignition switch or
 the neutral safety switch [mostly because powering the coil from the
 battery didnt do anything].

 i have a long and strong background in bikes for many years and cant for
 the life of me figure this out.
 has anyone experienced this problem before and can help me figure out what
 it is?
 i gave up driving cars a decade ago so this is it for transportaion for
 me...so any help would be greatly appreciated

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Sprocket mod question

[bobcat732]

cheap cycle parts has several aftermarket sprockets in the $20 range. Just
put front sprockets in the search bar.

 A while back, surfswab and maybe some others mentioned a sprocket mod for
 91-03 750 Nighthawks detailed on nighthawk750.com. Since I need to change
 my front sprocket, I was thinking of trying the 16-tooth mod for the front.

 Just got off the phone with sprocketspecialists.com, and I'm looking at a
 $43 delivered price on a 16T front sprocket. Pages like
 http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dautomotivefield-keywords=750+nighthawk+sprockethave
  them for $15. Gave
 http://www.d2moto.com (from the bottom of the Amazon page) a call, and
 that's all they carry, the stock 15T sprocket.

 Anybody know where I might be able to pick up a 16T front sprocket for my
 '96 750 Nighthawk for less than $43? I'm not so sure the mod is worth that
 to me, especially since I've never even experienced it.

 Thanks.

 Ross, where did you buy your 750 and in what part of the country?  I have
 a '91 750 with 8k miles on it.  The bike is absolutely showroom - not a
 scratch on it.  I mean it, absolutely pristine. The previous owner took it
 apart just to clean it.  It is the smoothest idling bike I have ever heard.
  I bought it for $1800 here in a small town in PA.  At the advertised price
 of $2k, he didn't get a single response.  I also have a 2002 750 with
 Corbin seat, Honda rack and backrest, wind shield, 3k miles on it.  It is
 also in pristine shape.  I paid $3200 for it. I have bought two other 750's
 in this area in excellent condition and low miles.  I forget the years.
  One I bought for $1000 and the other was $900.  I know what they are
 advertised for on Craigslist and I know what they actually sell for.  Allen
 is right if she wants a decent price (ie a better price), wait till spring.
  Otherwise, advertise it for $1800 and see what kind of response she gets.
  That will tell you all you need to know.  Here's a pic of the '91 I bought
 for $1800 about two months ago,  Graham

 Amy,

 My bike is a 1992 night hawk 750. I bought it a year ago for $2,000.00. It
 had slightly over 23k miles. Insurance lists value as ~ $1,800. I believe
 $1800 is either KBB/ nada values.  Mine was in very good shape at the time.
  I would consider $ 2500, however, I'm sure others will have other
 considerations for you to consider.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Engine noise question and cleaning question

Hey guys, I had a question about some engine noise I've been hearing.
 Around 2500-3500 RPM as its going down I hear a sort of rattling/whirring
 noise, not so much vibrations or anything just a noise. It usually only
 happens when its just warmed up (i.e after some riding it goes away
 mostly). When I tried to show the mechanic I was working with, it wouldn't
 make the noise, possibly because it was in neutral. Been looking online for
 some ideas of what it could be and it sounds more and more to me like its
 the cam chain tensioner. Is this a noise a should be concerned about?
Another question I had was I got my replacement oil pan and I want to
 clean the outside and inside thoroughly, any suggestions on getting the old
 gasket and residue caked up on it? The inside isn't that bad but could use
 a good wipe down. I tried warm water and dish detergent with a tooth brush
 lol gonna need something a bit stronger. Any suggestions?

 Thanks :)

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Uggg I feel like an Idiot...

   Ok so I was replacing the front turn signal stays, while I was
 doing
  that I figured I'ld poke around the wiring behind the headlight
 BIG
  MISTAKE (lol at my own stupidity and impatience), I didnt disconnect
  anything other than the turn signals but apparently I did something I
  shouldn't have Whilst I was in there I figured why not take the
 horns
  off and check the fuses, they all looked good so I stuck em back in
 exactly
  how I found them as I did this one at a time (I accidently did this
 with the
  bike on, not running but powered dunno if that makes a difference).
 At this
  point I saw that the indicator lights under the tach and spedo weren't
  turning on anymore, although the brights indicator was working. Also
 with my
  luck as I was trying to screw the horns back into place I found out
 that the
  right side (facing the bike) miraculously became stripped OR
 something so
  now it wont hold properly :\ figure I'll get a longer screw with a
 wingnut
  to lock it in place as a fix. I also almost forgot how the turn
 signal went
  back in but I figured it out (as I only unplugged the 6 turn signal
 wires
  for both of em). Unfortunately one of the screws that goes into the
  turnsignal stay decided to get ruined somehow, so now I only have one
 of the
  turn signals in for the moment until I replace the screw.
 
   At this point I'm so frustrated with everything I just put it
 back
  together and figure I'll wait until my brother gets home tomorrow (as
 he has
  more experience with wiring and reading the diagram etc..). I put the
 rubber
  drain plug that I got so I can ride to the place that is gonna help me
  replace the oil pan without fear of oil leaking and causing me to
 wipe out.
  Luckily that works and stopped the leaking even after letting it warm
 up.
  Though to my dismay as I'm warming it up I find that the speedometer
 and
  tachometer aren't working anymore either, I think to my self great
 it's
  probably connected to the lights on the bottom as well, so I probably
 CAN
  fix it when I find out what I did to make the indicator lights to stop
  working. I hope Im correct in my thinking :\ Any Idea of what I
 could I've
  done? Is it something I did with the fuses maybe? Or did I knock one
 of the
  wires loose somehow? I'm at a loss at the moment and waiting till
 tomorrow
  to attempt to figure it out. I know I must sound like an idiot, but
 hey
  everyone's gotta start somewhere I right? lol
 
 Thanks for looking and any help will, as always, be greatly
  appreciated.

 Gary,

 I have a set of soft bags that I've used on moth my 82 Nighthawk 650

 with them for long tours.

 However - I have a NH rack and Givi trunk on my bike for daily
 riding.  If you want to keep them on full time I wouldn't use soft bags.
 The right way, in my opinion, to put bags on your bike for long term use
 is to mount hard bags.  The Bestem rack is an amazing product but very
 pricey $400 (http://www.bestemusa.com/**Hond**a-Nighthawk-750-Luggage-

 Others have made they're own mounts for hard bags.  If you have access to
 the right tools and, if you're like me, maybe a friend with mechanical
 talent I'd make my own.  If not I think $400 for the Bestem rack is worth
 the investment.  Then you can mount 2 removable hard bags that will keep
 everything dry and safe no matter where you go.  You can also add a trunk
 for maximum storage space.  Somewhere in the forum is a picture of a bike
 with the Bestem set-up.  It has more storage than my ST1100.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Need Help / Guidance with my 1985 nighthawk 650

[bobcat732]

There is a fuse in the selenoid that's worth looking at even though it is
rarely bad. It is most likely the ignition wires at the back of the fuse
box. It happened to me several times before I really fixed it. I'd be
riding along and the bike would just shut down. I had to wiggle the wires
behind the fuse box and it would come back to life. It could be the innards
of the switch but be careful if you open it up as there are a lot of small
parts inside. You may be better off looking for a switch on ebay and
replace it.

  Good afternoon.  I read this digest everyday but tend not to write in
  very often.  I’m a C+ shade tree mechanic, ok maybe C-, so I defer to
  the better experienced.
 
  I have a 1982 650 Nighthawk with about 22,000 miles on it.  I’ve had
  the bike since 06 and it’s been great fun and way more reliable than I
  deserve for a 30 year old bike.
  Other than maintenance items, tires, brakes, fork oil seals, sprockets
  and chain my only big issue was hitting a deer the October before
  last.
 
  https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Y3m6VKaRw635DLrLXZFADEacE5vr8hf...
 
  I’ve been meaning to write for a while and accumulated a few
  questions.
 
  1.  Center Stand – The bike has one but I cannot get it on the center
  stand without help.  How do you do it alone?  I’m always afraid the
  bike will tip away from me.
 
  2.  Speedometer/Odometer problems - As long as I’ve had the bike the
  speedometer has been pretty sketchy.  Using a GPS, when I’m driving at
  35 the speedometer reads 50.  But the odometer was always dead on.
  Same cable operating both.  Now the odometer and trip odometer stopped
  working at 20,947.  It doesn’t appear to be at the wheel or cable so I
  looking for any insight before tearing the instrument cluster apart.
 
  3.  As you can see the bike was repainted by a PO.  They did a good
  job but I’m seeing the paint bubble around the tank mouth.  I think in
  part caused by gasoline.  Last fill up after sitting out in the sun,
  the fuel expanded to where it leaked out and seemed to get under the
  paint softening and bubbling it.  Any suggestions?
 
  4.  Traction in the rain - I started riding again back in 2006 after a
  30 year break.  I find I’m a lot more tentative riding in the rain,
  slow way down, very upright in corners, etc.  How much traction do we
  lose in the rain?  30% on wet roads, maybe 50% in puddles?
 
  I know my age is showing, and I’m OK with that but I don’t like
  getting beat in the corners by bicycles either.
 
  5.  Sea Foam – Like everyone here, I love it.  However at $9/pint it
  gets pretty dear.  About a year ago there was discussion and recipes
  for a “home made version” that sounds like it would be about 1/5 the
  cost.  Has anyone ever tied it?  I’m will to give it a try, (on the
  lawn mower, gas trimmer, chain saw, etc. not the N’hawk) but wanted to
  know if anyone has experience.
 
  6.  N’hawk badges - There was discussion on N’hawk badges a while
  ago.  Did they ever happen?  Are there any around?
 
  7.  Any bike suggestions for a 20 yr. old woman - My daughter took the
  safety course and got her license last summer.  However she finds the
  N’hawk too tall to ride safely.  She took her course on a 250 Rebel
  and liked that but I’m looking for a few others we can be looking for
  as well.
 
  Thanks for any ideas, suggestions and guidance.  Ride safe.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: newbie question

[bobcat732]

In the first video the bike seemed to run very well. In the second, it
hardly runs at all. In between, you say there is hardly any gas in the
tank. It seems that some grunge in the bottom of the tank got sucked into
some area where fuel goes an is blocking its path. Gotta trace where the
fuel goes and find the blockage and clean it out.

   Well I would say it doesn't hurt to put a half gallon or so in so you

   cleaning the tank on my 450 there were times when I could hear water
   sloshing but was having a hard time getting it to come out.  You could
   probably have a half cup still in the tank, hear it sloshing, and not
 have
   enough to run the bike.  Part of the behavior you've described sounds
 like
   what has happened to me when I've run out of gas in stop and go
 traffic
   and had to put it on reserve.  After my tank cleanup I also added an
 inline
   fuel filter just to make sure I don't let any sand or residual loose
 rust
   through to the carbs and that lets me tell at a glance if the fuel
 filter
   is empty then I'm out of gas and need to put it on reserve.  I
 suppose
   you could turn off the petcock and remove the fuel line to the carbs
 and
   see if anything comes out to see if you aren't getting gas to the
 carbs,
   and even turn it back on with the line over a bottle or something to
 see if
   maybe the petcock isn't passing fuel.

I'm thinking the coil hooks to the harness under the tank. I forgot to hook
this up myself once and it took me a while to find my mistake.

 On my '96 750 NH two #4 washers per needle are the best set up. I have done
 the same thing on a 93 Suzuki gs500e, and I believe also on a '84 GL1200
 (Allen?), all giving really good results.

  Much as I hate to admit it, that may be something the PO actually did
  right.  Hondas tend to be cold-blooded (slow to warm up and run right
  and a characteristic mid-throttle hesitation) because the carbs are
  set purposely lean from the factory to avoid running afoul of the EPA.
 
  A common mod to improve throttle response is to insert two Radio Shack
  #4 washers under the needles, in lieu of a trial-and-error rejet. It
  improves performance throughout the range.
 
  I won't let the PO off entirely, though.  It depends on whether he
  used the correct washers.  I forget the exact measurements of the
  washers, but I know #4 works best.  Of course, if he used some other
  washers out of a can he had lying around, he might still be the dufus
  we've accused him of being ;-)
 
  Anyway, #4s would only cost ya a couple bucks, and you'd know you had
  the right ones.

Nice askii sketch btw. That's called a double lip o-ring. In the
hydraulics world it's the best but can be fussy to get to lay in the
grove properly. You MUST make sure it doesn't get rolled or twisted
on install. Don't use any sealant But a light smear of oil (110% no
dust or grit) can sometimes help it seal for startup. On fussy
sunstrand pumps I've used a very light smear of white lith grease but
carbs don't work at 2500psi so you should be ok.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Day 2 : Power failure... help

[bobcat732]

Kyle is correct. This is an ignition switch problem at the back of the fuse
box. I have an 84 650 and this has happened to me twice. I would be riding
along and the bike would just shut off, nothing worked. Some wire wiggling
at the fuse box and it would come back to life. This happened 5-6 times one
day, not fun. A thorough cleaning of the 2 ignition plug connections at the
fuse box and dielectric grease solved the problem.

 Looking for a good place to find rebuild kits for the CSC and the
 carburettors. I have an e-bay seller that I've bought several bits from
 lately (PeakMoto-powersports) that has been a stand up seller (I think
 they're a dealer?) at reasonable prices. Found a couple others with good
 ratings selling caliper and BMC kits, but the clutch slave is eluding me.

 Any recommendations?

 Also, though this might well be an oil thread topic: brake pads and
 shoes, preferred brands? I went with EBC for the 750, because I recognized
 the brand from cars, but is there a better value out there?

 Thanks folks!

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Ignition Switch replacement?

[bobcat732]

There is no other version that I know of. It is, however, the same switch
used in the 83-85 650 Nighthawk and they do come up for sale on ebay once in
a while. I think I saw one quite recently.

Don't forget your local Honda dealer. You would be amazed at what is still
available for the older nighthawks. You may have to order it, but it is a
genuine part that you may not find anywhere else. I just bought those 1/2
circle rubber parts that go between the valve cover and the head on my 84

 I also find that motorcycle riding has a lot more mental work than driving
 a car, sort of constant 'vector analysis', contingency planning, road
 surface and traffic monitoring at triple or quadruple the level done in a
 car.  Part of the attraction is that extra level of being one with the road
 and environment and that extra mental workperhaps an academic study will
 investigate and deem motorcycle riding a great inhibitor of the onset of
 dementia and Alzheimers.

 With each of my two 1985 CB-650SCs (regards touring, which I only do a bit
 of, being more a daily commuter sort), I have an aftermarket Sargent seat
 and the notoriously short range (I fill up at about 120 miles on the odo).
  Absolutely not a problem in my commuting, and even in my Washington DC
 centric touringI like to stretch every 120 miles or so anyways and
 hydrate.  It would be more of an issue in the West where I used to ride (and
 sometimes do with my brother NoCal or son SoCal...we each keep two bikes
 running so we can ride as a duo when one flies in for a visit).

 My daily commute (Spring, Summer, FallI wimp out in winter circa
 Nov/Dec till about Mar/Apr when the 0600 temperature is below 36-38
 degreesI just ride winter on the weekend in the middle of the day) is 19
 miles each direction, made up of about 10 miles of stop and go, about 8
 miles of riverside parkway, and a mile of freeway.  The parkway makes it
 pretty fun ride, for a commute.  I save quite a bit of money commuting by
 motorcycle three quarters of the year, vice by automobilenot so much in
 the gas though there is thatmore in the free parking, the reduced
 insurance, the cheaper (mostly self) maintenance and greatly reduced number
 of cold starts and warmups on the more expensive sedan (and thus extended
 life of the sedan).

 After paying for the motorcycles and their maintenance, I compute I save
 between $2,000 and $3,000 per year in commuting costs per year (including
 buydown of the acquisition costs...fairly minimal at a average of $900
 each...).  I spend that windfall in taking care of my horseanother fun
 ride, but in the red ink, vice the black ink of the motorcycles.

 I somewhat got the 2nd Nighthawk as a 'running parts bike' but the durned
 machines are so reliable it seems a bit of overkillit is however
 convenient to be able to have one down for a while awaiting a convenient
 time to do maintenance or repair.  But I'm basically keeping two for now for
 the brother or son visit.  Maybe someday I'll have to cannibalize one to
 keep the other rolling, but so fartwo in good shape (if not cosmetically
 perfectin particular I'd love to find an affordable source for the rear
 brake light red plasticboth of mine are cracked and glued back
 together).  My main regrets with the Nighthawks I have are no ABS and
 insufficient electric generating power for grip heatersand perhaps the
 lack of a lockable box sufficient for a full face helmet.  Someday that may
 take me to a box add-on on one or perhaps another model, but not envisioned
 for any time soon.  But for now, I warm my hands on clod mornings on the
 engine at a stoplight, avoid the deepest cold, and a tad more conservatively
 than I might with ABS, and helmet lock, bungies and cord net are my friends
 for cargo.

 Nighthawk did not come with rear turn signals that also acted as
 running lights, but none of them actually own a '95. So, does anyone
 own a '95 Nighthawk 750 and do the rear turn signals also act as

 Hi Guys,
 New to this group. Got a question for you all: how do I locate a gas
 tank for my bike and how much should I expect to pay ? (Additional
 details below)
 Thanks.
 Richie

 ---
 I have owned this bike for while and the previous owner didn't store
 the gas tank properly, so it developed rust. Over time, the rust
 started to 'bubble' through the paint, so I had the tank relined. Now,
 I'm facing issue with my jets getting clogged and the bike chokes at
 low speeds. I've had this issue before and the mechanic told me that
 it could have been rust particle clogging the jets... (This happened
 around the time they started putting ethanol in gas at the stations) .
 The bike had run beautifully for 2 year prior to that. So I'm
 wondering if it is possible that particles from the lining material
 got through and caused that this time around.
 I'd hate to have the carbs cleaned only to face the same issue
 again... Big assumption of course, but my mechanical skills are basic,
 so I have to pay someone to clean my carbs...
 That being said I'm thinking it would be cheaper to locate a decent
 replacement tank than to have to clean the carbs on a regular basis,
 not to mention the lining is only good for so long.
 The net result is that my bike is sitting at home and I'm not enjoying
 this beautiful weather. Besides, the bike is beautiful and in good
 shape, so I'm trying to hold on to it...

 The mechanic said he couldn't locate a tank and I checked junkyards 
 local dealers: same results.
 I'd appreciate any help or suggestion you can give me.
 Thanks.
 R.

 PS: Unless of course this issue with the jets clogging is just another
 85 NH quirk I have to live with (like the battery not charging/
 draining at idle). If that the case, I'll quickly learn to clean 
 synch my carbs... ;-)

 Thanks guys.
