Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] No Rejetting required for Exhaust Baffle removal

Yeah! It's pretty much like a Honda Civic, open it up, make it loud. Jetting and opening exhaust does not add HP, you are moving the power band. You have to do internal engine mods to add HP. I agree do what you want, but it's a waste of time and screws up a bike that was already dialed

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Exhaust

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] If at first you don't succeed. Yell Out Heeeeelllpp!!!!

They are shims and thrust washers. As long as you put all the washer back in you should be good there. The armature would have a endplay issue without them installed and shorten the life of the starter but not so great in my opinion to make it miss the clutch gear. Sent from my iPhone On

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] If at first you don't succeed. Yell Out Heeeeelllpp!!!!

There is no shim for the starter, or anyway to incorrectly install it onto the engine that I'm aware of. So we can rule that out. There is a planetary gear housing on the end of that starter if I recall. So I assume during your bench test you saw the final output gear of the starter move.

Maybe contact Airtech and see what they could do. I purchased a VFR tail section from them, very nice work. They might even have the mold just not listed on their site. Sent from my iPhone On May 10, 2015, at 10:39 PM, EGrider gevan...@gmail.com wrote: I don't have any bikes that are

Don't do it, not worth the risk if you get a over charging issue. Electrolyte battery should last, just make sure your not over charging and keep it topped off with distilled water when needed. Sent from my iPhone On May 1, 2015, at 11:24 AM, Tommy Hill ominbo...@gmail.com wrote: Yeti,

at the proper fill volume and in good shape (maybe), and the correct static sag (adjusted for your weight via the spacers). There is an excellent how-to for adjusting static sag by yourself, let me see if I can find it. It's not hard at all. Kurt On Apr 23, 2015 6:41 AM, Jeremy jman2

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] 1983 cb650sc fork spring replacement

You need fork oil, I use regular transmission fluid myself. But that is your issue, low fork oil you loose your damping. Like a coil spring/shock suspension on a car, if the shock is bad, it will bounce easy. Sent from my iPhone On Apr 23, 2015, at 1:03 AM, Simon Ehrlich
