[Nighthawk Lovers] Hello, I'm new here.

Ok with that out of the way, I have owned a 1983 cb650sc for about a year and a half, but I've never learned to ride it. It has a few minor issues so I've only ridden around a parking lot a few times on it. I need to flush the clutch as there's no play at all so it just sits in front of the gas

By the way, Javier knows all about how I feel about locking up the front brake. -- 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

This is fun, but there's no way it is real (although I haven't verified this with snopes). I've been reading the work of Japanese writers and translators since 1989 as a writing teacher and proofreader, so I'm familiar with all their mistakes, and they would never ever write like this. There

I've heard of soaking parts in ArmourAll to soften them. On 28 November 2017 at 09:06, EGrider wrote: > I just recently did this with boots from 1978. Just 10 minutes in hot > water. Not a long term solution, but it helped get the carbs past the > collector box. The bike

I just recently did this with boots from 1978. Just 10 minutes in hot water. Not a long term solution, but it helped get the carbs past the collector box. The bike fired up fine after that, so that was enough to satisfy me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Carb Sync Tool...

If you are sharing with a friend it makes a lot more sense. I also got one and I have probably used it twice in 4 years, but to be fair I don't hang out at the garage as much as I used to. And yes, Manitoba is a bit too far from SoCal to borrow mine. On Tue, Nov 28, 2017 at 3:35 AM, krunch
