Even if you managed to do it the bike would be highly unsafe, as the 750 frame and suspension is significantly beefier. Allen Thomas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers! group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop

Well I only ride solo as the wife is too scared to try it out. And I'm just not into cruisers, mainly because I only ride solo and don't need one. I do like the look of the chrome fenders and I've gotten used to the enormous tail light assembly. So depending on how it looks after I swap on the S

[Nighthawk Lovers] No headlight.

Hey gang! I'm having a problem with my headlight not coming on. 91 cb 750. 50,000miles. I've had the occasional no headlight on over the years when starting, but I'd just turn the key off and on, and it would come on. Then last week it would not come on, but the high beam worked for a little

With the key off, shoot a little contact cleaner into the starter button area and work it a few times as a cheap/quick check against a dirty internal contact. Do the same with your hi/lo switch. If either of these gives you a headlight, you'll need to open up that switch's side pod and do a more

HI Greg, Have you checked that the bulb is functional? You can connect it directly to a battery charger if you have one. In mine case the filament was perfect, but the connections in the bulb got bad. It will come on sometimes if I giggle with onw of the three leads, but I just had to replace it.

Yeah, the bulbs are good. It seems to be the Hi Lo switch. If I wiggle the switch, the light comes on. From: jajgar...@gmail.com Date: Sun, 24 May 2015 12:00:23 -0400 Subject: Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] No headlight. To: nighthawk_lovers@googlegroups.com HI Greg, Have you checked that the bulb is

[Nighthawk Lovers] Fuse box connector removal

I'm new with motorcycle maintenance. How do you remove the connectors on the back side of the fuse box on a 1983 cb650sc? I tried pulling on them but they would not budge. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers! group. To

Throw an ohmmeter across the switch to measure its resistance in each position. Disconnected, of course, for best readings. Odds are good it's just dirty, but you might have a broken/chafed supply wire instead. Kurt On May 24, 2015 2:30 PM, Greg gman...@msn.com wrote: Yeah, the bulbs are good.

They have retention clips that you squeeze then the plug will pull out, however the 650 has a known issue where the main red/black/brown plug will arc and melt the plastic connector to the plastic fuse block. It's still possible to clean the fuseblock without removing that one plug however. I took
