Hi All, Earlier in the spring dad & I changed the outer shift-shaft seal as it was leaking pretty badly! Been fine all the way up to a few weeks ago, is leaking as bad now if not worse than it was before we replaced the seal?!?!? Am totally stumped as to why it would all of a sudden begin

Some of the aftermarket relays are backwards. Opposite of the original mounting. They work fine, just need to trim some of the placid housing. Sent from my Verizon 4G LTE smartphone Original message From: hunterkol...@tamu.edu Date: 7/28/16 10:45 PM (GMT-05:00) To:

Hi, Dan here. Nice to "meet" you all. I am 44 and have always wanted to ride and am finally doing it! Took the MSF course 3 weeks ago and just bought a 2008 Nighthawk 250 this week. Yesterday evening was my first time riding outside of a parking lot. I had to be careful on the dirt roads

first thing i would do is check the fuse box if its the plug in one or the glass fuse one if its plug in one check the possitive connections for signs of over heating as these are renound for melting -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk

You are going to want this. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5rhwMkJQ5ORakJxZnk2UlZCS0U/view?usp=drivesdk Print it out as big as you can. See if you can find a CB650 Nighthawk manual, factory is best, Clymer's is okay. If you can't find one let me know, I think I have a spare I'll sell you

Find the Oill pressure switch and test it or replace it. I would be real worried about letting it even idle with the light on. Since it started acting up only when you were working on it, probably it is not really low oil pressure, but too much to mess up if it is. -- You received this
