+1. Those valves tend to crack rather easy. If you happen to replace it, look for the L-shaped valves. They make your live so much easier. On Sat, Sep 3, 2016 at 8:59 PM, Kurt Nolte wrote: > Inflate the tire to 29, then slop some soapy water on it around the bead >

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Tire pressure

Inflate the tire to 29, then slop some soapy water on it around the bead and valve stem. Look for a steady stream of tiny bubbles. Kurt On Sep 3, 2016 5:49 PM, "Dave duChêne" wrote: > try filling them with nitrogen > Dave > > On 3 September 2016 at 17:02, Dan Cook

[Nighthawk Lovers] Tire pressure

About 2 weeks ago I checked my tire pressure and it was way low, like 15 psi. So I filled the tires to 29 as instructed in the 2008 Nighthawk manual. (I didn't notice as much of an effect on traction as I expected. Another story.) Checked the tires again yesterday and they were down to 27 psi. Do

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

If I do anything with exhaust, I'll get a 4-into-1. However, I'm not enthused about the potential of rejetting. Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 3, 2016, at 10:41 AM, 'Ross M. Jamison' via Nighthawk Motorcycle > Lovers! wrote: > > Javier, > > Thank you. Once

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

Javier, Thank you. Once again I doubt I will remove the baffles. The owner 2nd back from me, had pulled the baffles & drilled them. Tell you a story. Back in February March, I was working on my bike and the cheapie rear axle lift, bent a tab and dumped my bike over. I tried to lift it myself

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

Ross, have you looked at the Tim Hodge's mod? Instead of completely removing the baffles, you can drill a series of holes if increase air flow which also results in a somewhat different tone. You should be able to find videos in yourtube. Javier. On Sat, Sep 3, 2016 at 10:47 AM, 'Ross M.

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

I have a stage 2 jet kit along with a KN air filter. It all comes out of a Mac 4-1 exhaust. The Mac is a very cheap exhaust. It will rust after a couple of years. The Vance n Hines is a better investment. The Macs have a removable baffle which is held on by only one screw. It's a very primitive

Your correct. You can typically get more performance from a stock bike with modifications. Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 3, 2016, at 8:58 AM, Javier Garcia wrote: > > While I am not voting for removing baffles or even worse a straight pipe, I > don't think the factory

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

While I am not voting for removing baffles or even worse a straight pipe, I don't think the factory setup is for optimal performance. In fact, most Japanese bikes come pretty lean from factory to meet emissions regulations. Rejetting and adjusting the carbs will give you better performance even

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
