I would read the manual carefully and make a judgement from that. the 450
and 250 are both 2 cylinder and very defferent from the 550, 650 and 750.

Why would you want to give your kids the same education as everyone else??? Im
shure theres something that you can teach the kid something they wont learn in
school, so think of it as you teaching them all that you know, then the school
as a supliment to the things you cant teach as well.
Sorry to hear that. I think the consensus is that the problem with
public education lies with the government\union setting the agenda,
mismanaged funds, and hands off parents. Not a lack talent or care on
the teachers part.

I just inherited a 1982 Honda CB450 Nighthawk. It is really great to

Also the right hand switch or kill switch is not connected at all,

The first thing I would suggest is to replace all fuses - older
fuses can break down even under normal load and cause phantom
electrical issues. I'd start with that, plus a new battery and go from
there.
On another note, pick up a 'Battery Tender' style float

Welcome to the group. Did your new bike run when you got it? Has it been
sitting a while? I'm curious about it not turning over. If the starter
works, it could be something wrong with the engine.

Kyle You are absolutely correct. I got it last weekend and it had been

The engine so far looks good. I had the clutch cover off,

Did you check the large fuse on the starter relay? Big 30 amp fuse,
can't miss it. Also, if the bike is in gear, or thinks its in gear it
won't engage the starter.

When you get no immediate answer to a question here, it's most likely
nobody has a clue.
I'm guessing you won't find a ready-made aftermarket solution. My
first thought would be to find a local upholsterer who could modify
your existing seat.
Or Google for motorcycle seat pads for the accessory
If the fuses don't solve it your new best friends are a wiring diagram
and a multimeter. Start tracing the wiring path from the battery,
though the starter switch, through the clutch and neutral switches and
up to the starter solenoid. If the solenoid is getting power on it's
firing lead but
You could also just jumper the two terminals on the starter relay, which will
bypass all other considerations. At least you will know the engine is free and
the starter functional.
If you do that, be sure you are ready for a cranking engine..

on rebuilding a motorcycle seat should return good info. We had a
thread about this not long ago. I posted a bunch of links on

It's been my experience that you can reuse rubber gaskets, but not
cork or paper even if they come off in one piece.

Wouldn't it be better to not have to move to a county with a good
school system, and instead just send them to a good school near where
you want to live. That is the problem with taxing people more money
than a private school charges and providing a canned one size fits all
education.

My 700 and 650 both will start in any gear too as long as the clutch is
