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

[Drew Gormley]

The rubber mounts that hold the tank to the top tube may have corroded onto
the frame, and it feels stuck. Just ease the tank in a circular motion
until it starts to break free.

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] Help removing tank on 1984 700S

[Kyle Munz]

Once you've removed the bolt lift the back of the tank and slide it
backwards and it will come off. It's just resting on two rubber bushings at
the front.
The fuel line and vacuum line should be pretty apparent if you shine a
light on the petcock. Both are going down towards the carbs.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Help removing tank on 1984 700S

[scott....@gmail.com]

I need to change spark plugs on my 1984 700S and the dealer's parts counter 
suggested removing the gas tank to get at the plugs underneath. I removed 
the bolt at the base of the tank (near the seat), but the tank still seems 
attached at the front of the bike.

The shop manual for the 700S says to also disconnect the fuel line at the 
fuel valve, and the vacuum line at the intake pipe, but there aren't clear 
pics showing where each is connected.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] HELP !!! Need Torque Specs to reassemble TOP END. PHOTOS INCLUDED!

[Donny Ravioli]

I just the top end on my '83 650.
As stated, there is no torque spec for these bolts in the service manual.
As they don't do much other than hold the plate down, I cranked them down 
pretty good compared to the relatively low spec values for the rest of the 
bolts. As long as you don't strip the thread your fine. Bolts holding 
something down like the head, valve cover, or camshaft make sense to me to 
use a torque wrench because you don't want any variation that could 
asymmetrically squeeze two finely machined mating surfaces. But these 
bolts? Who cares!

Hopefully I'm right. I've only ridden her for an hour since the job was 
done. :)

should be 3 orange wires all connected together. Look at the image on the 
link I sent you. One goes to left turn bulb. One to indicator in cluster 
and one to left rear.

The orange probably has a 3way connector that it goes into.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Help! Had to take off the headlight - and started having some issues right away, HELP!

[Jenya Spektor]

Kyle,
The question that I have difficulty finding an answer to is the fact that 
there are two LOOSE wires that do not match. I have one green and one 
orange (steel with a plastic connect on the end of the orange one) that 
don't seem to have any loose wires of the MATCHING color to connect to.
I'll try to make sense of the wiring diagram and will also post some images 
of it here.
Best, Jenya

[Nighthawk Lovers] Help! Had to take off the headlight - and started having some issues right away, HELP!

[MizMandaLyn]

Were you having charging issues before? I had an issue with mine. The 
alternator showed charge but wasn't charging correctly. Changing that fixed 
most of my issues.

I'm guessing this is a 650? Either way it sounds like you may have pulled
something loose which could be shorting out now. Orange wires are typically
turn signals (along with light blue) and dark green is usually the ground.
Look up the Wiring Diagram for your bike from Paul's Nighthawk pages (
http://paulsnighthawkpages.blogspot.com/p/links.html) and you should be
able to hook it all back up.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Help! Had to take off the headlight - and started having some issues right away, HELP!

[Jenya Spektor]

So I just got a nice 1983 Nighthawk. Everything was working fine, but the 
headlight housing was cracked - so I decided to fix it. Upon taking the 
headlight out and disconnecting the 3-wire plug, I had noticed there was a 
green and an orange wires that were not connected to anything. After fixing 
the housing and putting the headlight back in, all sorts of things started 
to happen - 
1. Left turn signal started to blink rapidly
2. Left turn (rear) signal doesn't work at all
3. The bike did not start and the battery seemed to die within minutes.
I am just not sure what exactly happened  - I did not tinker with anything 
else. I might have pulled the front (headlight) harness a bit forward when 
fixing the plastic housing (I had to undo the two bolts holding it 
together), BUT that's about it. Also, the two loose wires - I am not sure 
if they came apart while I was tinkering with things or not.
Need help!
Thanks in advance,
Jenya

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Help on repair cost

Just my 2c, but if you're not equipped to do the work yourself and don't
happen to have a spare motor laying around I'd look for a running bike
instead.

I just looked at little closer at your pictures. Your ground wire in your 
hand is what gets bolted on to the negative contact on your battery, 
doesn't it? The other end just grounds to the frame. 

As for the clip that holds the battery in, it is the same as the battery 
bolts, or at least it has been on my Hondas. Give it a try. Then off to Ace 
Hardware you go.

[Tommy Hill]

First of all, the bolt that holds the battery in is not really that important.  
I always have mine, but you don't HAVE to have it. I am almost certain it is 
the same as the battery post bolt. 

Secondly, the ground wire does not go there.  I can look when I get home, but 
find another place to put it.

That is a 6mm bolt, pitch is 1.0
When measuring a bolt it is the size of the bolt not the size of the socket you

RE: [Nighthawk Lovers] Help, my bike lost all power

Can you get to the ign. Switch

Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Help, my bike lost all power

I joined the PC800 Yahoo group and "posted" this, but it never showed up. Maybe 
it's held because I'm a new member. Anyway, I'll post it here, but it isn't 
about a NH.

I took a Sunday ride on my ’90 PC800 before I left for Croatia. Stopped at a 
gas station and the battery was so weak that I was lucky to have someone give 
me a push start. I made it home, but I was praying all the way it would have 
enough spark.

I was hoping the battery was bad, but Advance Auto Parts told me it was good.

Did a search of the archives on the PC800 group and on Google. Got some 
diagnostics. Bought a decent VOM and rolled up my sleeves. Stator? R/R?

Got the battery halfway pulled out of the bike so that I could see the + 
terminal. Cold voltage-OK. Voltage with ignition on-OK. Start bike, rev to 3–4K 
for that check and I see sparks coming from the + terminal. OMG, shut off the 
bike.

Why the &%# is there a prong on the + battery terminal connector that sticks 
out past the edge of the battery? It poked out from the red protector and 
evidently touched the frame. I wasn’t aware that it was there.

I moved the battery so that it no longer touched the frame and breathed a sigh 
of relief that I got it shut off in time.  Restarted the bike, or went to, 
heard a snap or pop, and the bike went black. Figured OK, so I blew a fuse.

Checked all fuses (the ones in the fuse box on the left side and the main one 
on the solenoid, if that = “all”) with a VOM. All are fine. Changed the main 
30V with a new one just to be sure. Bike remains as dead as if it had no 
battery at all.

Other than loading it on a trailer and taking it to a shop, can anyone tell me 
how to begin to troubleshoot this thing? If a fuse is not blown, what did I 
most likely damage?

What is my best course of action for tracking down what I did.

Once I get it so it lights up again, I can start trying to figure out why it 
isn’t charging the battery… Any advice welcome.

I moved the battery so that it no longer touched the frame and breathed a 
sigh of relief that I got it shut off in time.  Restarted the bike, or went 
to, heard a snap or pop, and the bike went black. Figured OK, so I blew a 
fuse. 

 

Checked all fuses (the ones in the fuse box on the left side and the main 
one on the solenoid, if that = “all”) with a VOM. All are fine. Changed the 
main 30V with a new one just to be sure. Bike remains as dead as if it had 
no battery at all.

 

Other than loading it on a trailer and taking it to a shop, can anyone tell 
me how to begin to troubleshoot this thing? If a fuse is not blown, what 
did I most likely damage?

 

What is my best course of action for tracking down what I did.

 

Once I get it so it lights up again, I can start trying to figure out why 
it isn’t charging the battery… Any advice welcome.

You can remove it with the grab rail with those 4 bolts. Don't try to
remove the cowl from the grab rail though, take it all off as one unit. Or
as Richard mentioned, you can lower the fender liner and get to it that
way.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Help!

Any autoparts store should have a can of electric degreaser right next to
the can of dielectric grease. With the dielectric grease just smear a good
coating in there, the contacts will physically push it out of the way when
you plug them in. The dielectric is not conductive, the main point of it is
as a moisture barrier.

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.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Help!

[Kyle Munz]

They're different. 650 has plastic blade fuses and hangs off the front. The
700S uses glass fuses and is between the handlebars. Apart from an old fuse
falling apart I've never had an issue with the block on my 700S.The
connectors behind the headlight are a different story.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Help!

Thank you, Kyle.  I saw the #1 fuse glowing.  Pulled it out and put another in 
and the lights came on.  Rain just stopped and got it all put back together and 
it starts and runs.  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!  Put it back 
together and got above results.  

Thanks again. All.

Still would like to know what each circuit/fuse goes to but will replace in the 
order Kyle said.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Help!

[Allen Thomas]

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. Along with the fuse holders
snapping from corrosion and vibration.

Ok, so my headlight (high and low) went out on the 1 mile ride back to the 
apartment.  I pulled the cover to check fuses and they all appear ok.  I pulled 
three out to look closer and put them back in.  Now NO lights (head, neutral, 
or running), no start...nothing.  Horn works and signals work.  I have 1 hour 
before dark and a small thunderstorm just getting here.  Quick suggestions??

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.

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.

Oh, and now the headlight is not what I am worried about.  Gotta get it to run

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 me plan my next motorcycle trip

[James O'Gorman]

The salt flats are west of Salt Lake City, right on the border of Utah/Nevada. 
It is only a couple hours out of SLC. If you've never been there I would 
recommend it. There were some smaller roads the go north from there to connect 
back (eventually) to Ontario, OR.
Those roads are quite desolate but very neat. Anyone is able to just drive out 
on the salt and putz around.

 not too far off the route or if you even want to invite me over for coffee or 
 worse, I welcome all comments.
 
 Unfortunately Ol' Yeller's headlight went on strike again tonight as I was 
 riding home from work. Not sure what to do about that as I'll definitely need 
 a headlight on the trip, if only for getting back to the motel after dinner.  
 It's sure to come on intermittently during the trip; maybe I'll just rig a 
 hotwire off the battery for emergencies. Too late to buy something else I 
 could trust for a trip like this short of a new bike, or at least it feels 
 like it to me, Dang! Headlight issue is creating a love/hate relationship 
 with my NH.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Help me with my latest Honda problem

[DJFireUSA]

I have a 2006 Suzuki S50 that would fit the bill, except no FI. Added perk is 
this is a machine the wife can ride so it is an easy sell. You can both ride 
together!!

Let me know if you are interested. It is a shaft drive and low miles. It is 
also known as the VS800 Intruder.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Help me with my latest Honda problem

[Javier Garcia]

From what you describe the PC800 sounds about right for you. I agree that a
FI system will be just perfect, but the storage in those things is insane,
and they are nice to ride. I think they are perfect for city riding.

Tell the wife you could never sell the NH because of the many memories of
the two of you together with the bike, etc etc... The other option is to
say yes, I will sell it, and post it on CL for $8k or so. If you do sell it
for that much at least you won't regret it :)

 I love the `83 NH 550 for many reasons. I have put over 30k on mine.
 However, I am getting a little tired of the age of the equipment

 I want to sit up when I ride.
 I want a little more cargo space, real cargo, not yuccy add-ons.
 Most riding is in and around town, so a really big bike won't be fun.
 Need to be able to sit on it for a tank of gas (a while).
 The NH has plenty of power for anything I have ever wanted to do, and it
 is a lot of fun too. (Yes, I am under 180 lbs.)

 However, so far the only thing I have against the PC800 is that I would
 kinda like something with fuel injection.

 So tell me, why am I nuts here?
 What am I forgetting that will persuade me not to be so preoccupied with
 getting a PC800?

 Thanks for any thoughts.

 Oh, and finally. How do I convince my wife that I should keep the NH AND a
 PC800 or equivalent?

[Nighthawk Lovers] Help me with my latest Honda problem

[Tommy Hill]

Well, let's start with the wife problem.  Mine responds well to a black eye!


The hard part is being man enough and finding a buddy to hit you hard enough...

Sympathy works every time.  You could even tell her you got hit because you 
don't have 2 motorcycles!!

I have 3, but granted only 2 are at home.

[Nighthawk Lovers] HELP!

[nuevajohn]

Your lights can still cone on even if the battery isn't strong enough to start 
it. The first step is always to check the battery and make sure it's 12.7 V? or 
above. I suggest getting a voltmeter and battery maintainer. You will def need 
the maintainer( aka trickle charger/float charger)

[Nighthawk Lovers] Help I need a stator

[nythawk night]

Hello fellow Hawkers, 
  I am desperate. I have an 86 Nighthawk cb450sc. I was told by my dealer 
my stator is bad. Unfortunately Honda doesn't make them anymore. I have 
tried for four weeks to find a working one with no success. I have looked 
on ebay, I have called and emailed several online suppliers, I emailed a 
company called CMSNL in the Netherlands and they don't return my emails and 
I can't afford to call them. I finally located one at Steve's Cycle Salvage 
in Tifton, Georgia. and my local Honda dealer checked it out and said it 
was way out of specs, whatever that means. If it's out of specs can it be 
adjusted to work? Does anyone know if a stator can be repaired and if so is 
there anywhere online that does it or can you buy a kit? Or does anyone no 
where I can get a used one that will work or a new one? Could the dealer be 
wrong and could it be something else electrical that made it look like the 
stator is bad? If I can't get it fixed I will have to part it out which I 
don't want to do. Any help would be much appreciated.
   Thank you,
   Brian

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Help I need a stator

[Kyle Munz]

I've bought electrical components from Rick's before which worked fine for
me. He lists the stator for your bike but it isn't cheap and requires a
core deposit to get started.

 Hello fellow Hawkers,
   I am desperate. I have an 86 Nighthawk cb450sc. I was told by my dealer
 my stator is bad. Unfortunately Honda doesn't make them anymore. I have
 tried for four weeks to find a working one with no success. I have looked
 on ebay, I have called and emailed several online suppliers, I emailed a
 company called CMSNL in the Netherlands and they don't return my emails and
 I can't afford to call them. I finally located one at Steve's Cycle Salvage
 in Tifton, Georgia. and my local Honda dealer checked it out and said it
 was way out of specs, whatever that means. If it's out of specs can it be
 adjusted to work? Does anyone know if a stator can be repaired and if so is
 there anywhere online that does it or can you buy a kit? Or does anyone no
 where I can get a used one that will work or a new one? Could the dealer be
 wrong and could it be something else electrical that made it look like the
 stator is bad? If I can't get it fixed I will have to part it out which I
 don't want to do. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Brian

I've bought electric parts from Rick's before that worked just fine. Most
of them are reconditioned, but very clean.

 removing the dry epoxy  There is also a lot of info on the web on how to

 repaired  or find a used or rebuilt one then I'll I have to sell the bike

 it. It's a shame to because the bike has only 7,000  miles on it and other
 than the stator and a scratch on the gas tank and battery cover it's in
 near mint condition.  Any suggestions/help on this matter would be greatly
 appreciate.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Help with speedo needle

[amberTrichome]

Once you get into the panel carefully pull the tach needle straight off the 
shaft, then you can hold the magnet behind the speedo needle and unscrew the 
needle!

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Help with speedo needle

[Tommy Hill]

Good idea.  When/if I ever get this bike home, I will do that and replace the 
tach needle and fuel needle.

The lens is not nearly as bad as it looks in this pic though.

Wow! That looks great for a 40 year old dash. Good job.

Maybe a little McGuire's #10 Clear Acrylic Polish would make all of your 
clear/acrylic lenses look brand new,
and therefore your speedo needle and old tach needle VISIBLE again!?!?
