Pulse gens are just electro magnets, if they short they just stop working. Has he tried looking at the spark once it gets hot. Motion pro sells a tool for like $10 that lets you check how strong the spark is. I have mine set at 10 mm. If it can jump that gap it will start a bike. Allen Thomas On

I had a similar issue where I was getting some kind of grit in my Suzuki's carbs bad enough to have and pull them twice. It was causing cylinders to drop. I never did figure out how it was bypassing the tank and an inline filter. I would pull off the petcock and make sure it is clean, drain the

Javier yes you have a BT023 but I'm pretty sure it is still a 150. I'm pretty sure the NH uses the same size rear rubber as a ninja 250. Allen Thomas On Mar 1, 2016 12:21 PM, "Javier Garcia" wrote: > I have the BT 023 (I think) on my 750, which is wider, and there no >

It usually takes a few tanks with Seafoam. Don't give up, yet. Try, try again. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to

Where are you located Vince? Just cleaned the carbs on a 550 and took it out for a ride today. If seafoam helped initially, try it again. Go for a longer ride. It does sound like it's going to take a carb clean if a couple hundred miles with clean gas and seafoam doesn't take care of it, Graham

I have an 83 Nighthawk 550. Here's my problem. This just started the other day and had never happened before. When I've got the bike warmed up and the choke is off, the idle wavers, dropping now and then below 1000rpms. Eventually the bike just stalls. When I pull out their is a

I have the BT 023 (I think) on my 750, which is wider, and there no rubbing with anything. If you have a center stand, try checking if there is any wobbling if the wheel, although I'll surprised if you don't notice it while riding. Did this happen slowly over time, or from one day to the next? is

I put a wider than stock rear tire on the 83' 550 and learned a couple things. Yeah, it looked nice and cleared the drive shaft fine, on days of average temperature, tire pressure and load. But when it got hot, or the tire pressure was too high (or too low) or I actually rode two up, it would

Really shouldn't have to wait till it acts up. Pull all 4, 2 should be darker in color and if it's a pair driven by the same coil I would go that route. Coil, wires, driver, doubt the signal gen but who knows. Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 1, 2016, at 7:54 AM, Tommy Hill

+1 on what Allen says. Rubbing something. Could the chain be a little loose and flopping into it? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email
