( The gas tank bolt is out and the gas tank can come off, but that's all I could do today, all staggering from heat exhaustion. I tried for an hour to unscrew it "sensibly" but it really needed to be sawed off with an oiled hacksaw. It was not as easy as it might sound. I''ve been avoiding getting

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Feeling like Hodor

if you can get a pair of nuts on the remaining stud you can probably unscrew it from the head, Better yet buy a stud extractor an have the right tool for the job. The trick is finding a replacement stud. On Sun, Sep 6, 2015 at 3:54 PM, Graham Rogers wrote: > Forget

[Nighthawk Lovers] Forks feel stiff after new seals

Anyone encounter this? I replaced the seals myself for the first one and made sure to clean everything really well. Used simple green and a bit of water to clean the tubes and stanchions. Everything went back together correctly. I wasn't sure what side was up on the fork seals so I just stuck

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Feeling like Hodor

You're right Allen. I didn't realize it was a double sided bolt. Cmsnl has one left. One. And it's 30 euro to get it here. Screeweww that! Pun intended. Maybe I can get one custom made for cheaper. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk

So I'm sitting here thinking. Couldn't I just get a really long 8mm bolt and be done with it? Pull the old stud out and just use a bolt for that one exhaust? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group. To unsubscribe from

RE: [Nighthawk Lovers] Feeling like Hodor

No. I'm sorry but on the 91 and up 750s, the exhaust studs are used with nuts to tighten the pipes to the heads. The heads are aluminum which strip easily. I know I messed up a couple trying to use long bolts. Not sure about the 650s though. If you use bolts, get the best kind you can get so

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Feeling like Hodor

The length shouldn't cause too much trouble as long as you can slide the collar over it. You may have to drill it out a little. -Kyle On Sun, Sep 6, 2015 at 5:55 PM, Alexander Press wrote: > I wish I could find a 6-8mm stud. Looks like Honda is the only ones to use >

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Feeling like Hodor

Don't just use any old bolt and cut the head off. The heat will rust it out quickly. Take the old one into any autoparts store where the counter jockey has half a brain (probably not Autozone) and get a matching exhaust stud. There is a difference between that and a standard bolt to handle the

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Feeling like Hodor

Kinda what I was thinking. If it does I'm sure a machine shop could cut it to size and round the ends off if absolutely needed. Man what a nightmare this has been. Ugh! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group. To

I wish I could find a 6-8mm stud. Looks like Honda is the only ones to use them. I found a 700s 7-8 stud on eBay. Bought it. The length on mine is 52 the 700s is 60. Will that cause any issues you think? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk

If the battery runs down at an inopportune moment, remember that you can jump the bike off your car battery. Do not have the car running at the time. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group. To unsubscribe from this

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Metallic snap/slap on cold start

Thanks Allen. I may try to have a spring made or maybe get lucky on eBay. There's a whole NOS assembly tensioner on eBay right now for 200 bucks. Wish I could afford it. It's the bulky silver aluminum piece that the spring attaches to. Dang I wants it. -- You received this message because

So I got a torque wrench the other day and wanted to check some of my torque jobs I've done recently. (My rear axle but was spot on btw. Cheers). I get to my exhaust flange bolts and I couldn't even get near the 17-22 torque spec before the flange bolt snapped. So I'm warming up my soldering

[Nighthawk Lovers] Feeling like Hodor

Soldering attempt was futile. I went a bought some Jb weld high heat and it was setting for maybe 3-4 hours and I tried doing some sanding on the weld and the bolt came off pretty easily. The Jb weld was still kinda moist. It was a bit crumbly. I'm thinking it hadn't cured totally yet. So I
