I've got a gremlin. I don't know what it is. I have my suspicions. My front turn signals are on which is greatbut so are the back ones. When I switch the turn signal to left or right, the corresponding light turns off - both front and back. These are aftermarket signals but are not LED.

This bike is finicky when it's cold. Most Hondas are. It definitely needs a good 5-10 minute warm up and don't romp on it while it's warming up. Choke is gonna be needed most of the time unless it's 80+ degrees. Idle should be higher in the cold but idle should be around 1k to 1500. Always be

Were you having charging issues before? I had an issue with mine. The alternator showed charge but wasn't charging correctly. Changing that fixed most of my issues. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group. To

I've been looking around and can't seem to find any that would work with it. They have to hook up to the top of the rear shocks right? Or is there a way to rig up something under the seat itself? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk

Yeah. This happened to me after pulling my carbs apart. Turns out, one of the needles expanded after I out it all back together so the floats were way to high in one. Take them all apart and compare with all the covers off. Take your time. Took a whole lot of staring and swearing to figure out

[Nighthawk Lovers] Blinker and shift indicator issue

2018-06-01 Thread MizMandaLyn
Hey guys! So I've been having an issue with my rear blinkers staying on and none of them blink. I believe the not blinking thing is because they're LED lights and need a circuit thing for them. However, I'm wondering why they stay on all the time? Any thoughts? I'm sure it's a wiring issue so

Those pipes must not be original to the bike as the first generation of nighthawk had four to four. They switched to four to two in 83 for second gen. The color also looks a bit different than mine but it could be the picture lighting too. Still a pretty bike. Looks like someone restored it

Thanks! I've seen one other one out there but definitely not as shiny and pearly as mine. And since I've only seen one other one, just curious is anyone knows anything about that particular color. Not many people seem to. Grandpa's was a Honda dealer for many years but sadly isn't around

This is not an aftermarket paint color. The color code on the original frame matches this color which was applied at manufacturing of the bike itself. Trust me. I've checked. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group. To
