So, have a great deal of the bike stripped down, putting on my great pile of
parts, and I discover that my brand new B cable is too short. It's the
push cable of the pair, the safety closure cable. It's ~ 10mm too short,
dagnabbit, so now I have to put the whole thing back together minus said
Is this on your 750 or the 650? Are you sure you don't have 'em
bassackwards?
On the 750, one is supposed to be shorter than the other -- the tube
the actual cable rides in, anyway. The cables themselves appear to be
equal length.
Don't remember which is which.

I only recommend sea foam as a starter. I personally would run a can of it,
then open up one of the bowls and see what kind of junk might be in there.if
clean replace gasket and have a good rest of the day. However, if dirty
continue doing what Paul suggested and get to cleaning.

Kurt's little mishap reminds me of two genius things that I've done working on
stuff - I'll share them to *hopefully* make the rest of you feel smarter for
having not done the same.
I had the back tire off the bike and needed to skooch it up a little in the

Boy, when you get into a project, it's con musto gusto! I'd have been
whinin' like a little girl over the injury and probly quit for the
day.
Just happened to think of sumpthin' that might help prevent a
recurrence. Was at Wally World today and picked a pair of cheap
plastic wheel
Doh, got my Ferdinands mixed up! Porsche, not Piëch! Bosch and Porsche!

Hmm. You may be right about that.
I'll have to consult my bibles about it. I just assumed that the same
bolt secures the cowling and the shock. Now that I think about it,
the bolt requires torquing, 22 ft/lbs, I think. That kind of pressure
would crack the plastic in a heartbeat without a
M... that's almost as much as the drive sprocket torque.
Going to see what stepping up front sprocket sizes do for me; I left the
back the way it was, just put some new nuts on the wheel. So now I'll have a
17/38 combo on a daily commuter that's mostly highway.

Here's another short lived (I hope) thread. I just bought a 1984
Honda Magna (distant relative to the Nighthawk). I changed the oil
yesterday and there was surprisingly little oil in the crankcase. The
I noticed it has a dip stick as well as a sight glass. What's that
all about?

Dunno for sure. I think it was some perverse Japanese designer trick
to save production money by casting a tiny hole in the crankcase,
rather than a bigger hole and a stick. You may have gotten a
transition model after previous model year customer complaints led the
factory to change it. Rather
Mmmm, not a bad looking bike. And a V4! I drool for a V4... there's why it's

Oh, extra question for you, Graham: does that bike have a split case,
separate engine and transmission, or are they a shared case like most bikes?

Graham,
good looking bike. I thought you didn't like the Magna. It is that the big
1100cc engine?

No, it's the 700 Javier and it felt very comfortable, small and
agile. I was surprised.
