[Nighthawk Lovers] Cylinder head nut tightening sequence

Hi Guys/Gals, Searched high and low for what I thought would have been an answer easy to find. I replaced the cylinder head gasket on my 1996 CB 750 Knighthawk and now I have to bolt it back together. I have the service manual for this bike, but the order of how the head nuts need to be

RE: [Nighthawk Lovers] Carburetor

The airbox can fill up with blow by. There should be a hose coming off the bottom of the airbox with a plug in it. You should remove the plug and drain the airbox with every oil change. On Apr 14, 2016 5:54 PM, "Richard Potter" wrote: > If a float or needle is stuck it can

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Iridium plugs?

I found the iridium plugs on sale 2/$16.39 so I put them in the inside cylinders. 33f degrees this morning, and the bike which usually gives me some trouble at those temps started right up. Cool ride with a few times needing to warming my hands on the cylinders but another great day on two

David, Look on youtube for a video about repairing plastic stuff like this on a motorcycle. It's fairly easy and I even tried it successfully enough on my ST1100. If I have time I'll see if I can find the video. Having said that my side panels are both missing the bottom post thing your

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] NH 650 and 450 tank emblem

Is it metal on your 450, because the 82 650NH is metal, and gold on silver if I recal. Size is probably the same as your tank, and should have a metal strip on It to mount emblems. Allen Thomas On Apr 7, 2016 2:44 AM, "Jon Palmstrøm" wrote: > Hi > Thanks for the answer. It
