I purchased a 1984 Nightawk 700sc, fell in love as soon as I climbed
on, and when I drove it, like butter is all I could think! On my
maiden voyage something jamed and caused by new bike and I to take a
plastic breaking, metal grinding slide across a intersection. Not
being able to figure out
First, sorry to hear about the accident and glad you're alright.
Second, what are the prices we're talking about here? An 84 700S in great
condition is worth around $2K. What are they wanting to charge to do the
fix. Also, what's the extent of the cosmetic damage after the spill?

On Sat,
So the bike's still running a tad rich. Poked around and I noticed one of
the choke plungers wasn't really going up and down with the rest of them.
Pulled the carbs off *again* and set about checking the starting valves
(chokes,enrichers,whatevers). They're held in place with a little plastic
nut.
I'm assuming you mean the main gears that transmit power from the
crankshaft to the clutch. The clutch basket with the large gear can
be easily replaced but I'm not sure what he intends to do about the
crank gear. I haven't seen that particular crankshaft but they are
usually part of the
Thanks Kyle, I was VERY lucky. I was quoted at least 20 hrs of labor
and a rough estimate of 3,000$ to replace everything. The cosmetic
damage I am taking care of my self and have already found all the
parts on e-bay.
The bike is in MINT condition, it seriously looks brand new It had sat
in
Kyle look around at hardware stores or McMaster.com in a pinch. A
pure nylon nut should be a direct replacement for that you just need
to identify the thread. It's probably an M2 or M3. Get yourself a
thread gauge (or you could just count them against a caliper) and
figure out the pitch.. Hell
Most motorcycle engines don't have a removable oil pan that you can
drop to access the crankshaft bearings and oil pump. Instead the
entire crankcase, oil sump and all is cast in two separate pieces and
held together with bolts. Cut into these two halves are spaces for
the crankshaft,
Honda calls it a nut, it's more of a hollow bolt with an integrated
nut and a rubber dome cap. Very proprietary and not something you'd
find in a hardware store. I found one in a salvage yard for $5
luckily. It looks like it's in good shape, but it's 20something yrs
old too. Probably cost Honda
Bahhh fuzzy bike bandit diagrams, my bad.
Send me one and I'll turn you a set out of high carbon steel, that
outta keep it from breaking ; )

I did not post a photo of the clutch gears, there are a few of those
missing and one of the teeth is jamed between two of the unefected
teeth, it in much worse shape.but from the way I am feeling after
reading everyones post ( and thanks to everyone) I need to look for
another motor, but how

I wonder if this is a result of the bike sitting up so long? It's
always a good idea to have a spare bike for parts on these older bikes
anyhow. You could always look for a second donor bike if you can't
find just a motor.

I love that idea, I am an organ donor, willing to give my parts away
when I don't need them any more, I wonder if there is a donor bike
willing to give me parts it does not need any more! I'll start my
search tomorow.
Thanks so much to everyone!
