Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: First new to me 750

[Dustin Anderson]

Again, I do not know a lot about carbs, but maybe the carbs are out of
sync? Below 6500 rpms the difference in vacuum timing doesn't effect much,
but once the engine starts pulling harder, the difference causes the timing
of the spark plug firing and the cylinder getting fuel is off? There are
two syncs that you do, a mechanical and a vacuum. There are a couple of
videos on youtube and probably several people here that can actually
explain the procedure. When you look at the spark plugs, that will let you
know more of what is going on inside the cylinder.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: First new to me 750

[Dustin Anderson]

And also check out the air filter. Could be running rich at higher rpms
because the air filter is too dirty to allow enough air into the carb. I
don''t know alot about carbs, but it seems to make sense that the engine
could start running rich at higher rpms, which could flood the engine.
Again though, I have not messed with carbs alot yet.

Keep the spark plugs and do the thing where you run he motorcycle fifty
miles, then take the new ones out, and then compare them to the old ones.
Google spark plug chart and you can see kind of what is happening inside
the combustion chamber.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: First new to me 750

[Dustin Anderson]

Grab some Yamalube Ring Free Plus Fuel Additive and put a cap full in at 
every refuel. I have been using that and prayers in my 1984 CB700sc that 
only had 18,000 miles on it when I got it. It runs pretty good two years 
later and I haven't yet had to rebuild and resync the carbs yet. I know it 
is coming, but hopefully I will have another motorcycle to commute with by 
then and can rebuild the carbs at an easy pace. Maybe you too will get 
fortunate results. I don't know what time of cam chain tensioner you have, 
but grab another valve cover gasket and check to make sure your timing is 
correct. It is unnecessary, but relatively easy to get to and gives you 
peace of mind. 

As far as the battery goes, use bikebandit, partszilla or babbitts honda to 
find the Honda part number for the motorcycle, then go from there. 
Copy/Paste is your friend.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Stuck front brake caliper piston -1983 Nighthawk 650

[Dustin Anderson]

First get a service manual if you haven't done this stuff before. Check out 
Babbitts honda, they are sometimes cheaper than other places for OEM parts. 
As far as kits go, there are a couple of companies that make brake caliper 
rebuild kits, just type in the make model of the motorcycle and brake 
caliper rebuild kit into the google. And being you are going to be down 
there, you might as well do both so that you know the braking system will 
be wearing at the same rate. If you can afford it, go with OEM if you can, 
just my personal opinion but I am not a mechanic or technician. Taking 
everything apart and putting it back together isn't that hard, it is the 
cleaning of everything that actually takes the most time. YOU CAN DO IT! 
YOU CAN DO IT ALL NIGHT LONG!

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Adventure tires for NH750

[Dustin Anderson]

As long as you match the rim size and tire dimensions(110/90 or whatever 
your stock tire size is) It should be fine. Just go for quality and and be 
realistic how aggressive you want the tires to be for the dirt. Metzeler 
makes a more aggressive tire in the Karoo 3 
, then 
Continental has the TKC 70 
, and then 
there is the Bridgestone Battle Wing BW501/502 
,
 
which a less aggressive dirt tire. I am using revzilla just becuase, find 
the best deal for the best tire wherever you can. The motorcycle can 
definitely make it. Hope you go and have a good time.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Starter Brushes keep burning out.

[Dustin Anderson]

Real quick, just in case somebody else is having the same problem in the 
future. I think it is the quality of the materials used in my aftermarket 
kit. I am not using Honda OEM brushes. I rebuilt the starter, I didn't 
replace the brass bushings just the starter brushes and o-rings, the 
bearing and seal was still good. After I got everything back together, I 
started the motorcycle and it started wonderfully. I then remembered that I 
didn't but the shims back in the brush housing(?), cussed a bit then took 
the cap off and put the shims back in, thin/thick/thin. I took a look at 
the brushes and after one start they were already flaking apart and there 
were little chunks of the brushes in the cap, after one start. So I think I 
am going to maybe start the motorcycle first thing in the morning then push 
start it till I am done with the day and order some Honda brushes. I also 
think that is why the starter housing started getting so gouged up. 
Hopefully I dont screw my commutator up until I get the Honda OEM brushes.

I have noticed gouges in the starter housing. The commutater (the part that
spins?) is pretty clean with no smooth parts.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Starter Brushes keep burning out.

[Dustin Anderson]

I keep having to replace the starter brushes on the Mitsiba SM-8 starter. 
Other than me using it as my sole form of transportation, are there any 
reasons why the brushes would keep burning out? Is it spinning while the 
engine is running?

[Nighthawk Lovers] Cam chain tensioner on a 1984 CB700SC

[Dustin Anderson]

As I was removing the old spring from the tensioner, the rubber boot 
started flaking apart. I did not order this part with the spring. Is it 
necessary for the cam chain tensioner assembly? Could I just put on a large 
heat shrink wrap?

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Engine oil leaking from Clutch Slave Cylinder on CB700sc

[Dustin Anderson]

But there is oil on the bottom of slave cylinder and the bottom of the
output gear case cover. Would the wind be able to push leaking oil up onto
those?

[Nighthawk Lovers] Engine oil leaking from Clutch Slave Cylinder on CB700sc

[Dustin Anderson]

So I had the same issue with oil leaking out of the clutch slave cylinder 
last year. I rebuilt the clutch slave cylinder and replaced the pushrod 
seal inside of the output gear case. Noticed wear grooves on the pushrod 
likely from it spinning. Everything stopped leaking as badly. Still was a 
leak out of the oil pressure sensor and I replaced that. Now there is 
another leak, below the clutch slave cylinder, and to the rear of the oil 
pressure sensor, and I think it is again coming from the pushrod seal in 
the output gear case. Is the bearing out that keeps the pushrod from 
spinning, and then the spinning pushrod wears out the oil seal? Or is all 
the leaking a sign that the piston rings are gone and so the pressure from 
the cylinder is pushing down past the rings and into the crankcase? I am 
ordering the parts that I think will fix the issue, but I was looking for 
any advice.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: 1984 CB700sc Carburetors

[Dustin Anderson]

Thanks for the site. Only reason I was going to into the carbs is because
the pilot screw, the one the bottom in front of the floats, is broken on
the number one carb. Been using Yamalube sense winter because of the
ethanol and being not sure the quality of the gas.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Valve Cover Gasket

[Dustin Anderson]

I have found the Versa gasket kits, but am only needing the valve cover 
gasket, part number 12391-mj0-000. All the online part sites show the part 
unavailable. I also need to replace the handle bars because I went moto 
camping and hit some clay mud at the campsite parking space. That was great 
at 10:00 at night. Are there any special procedures in replacing the 
handlebars?

That exhaust looks like the stock headers but with a 4 into 1 collector and
then some more pipe. Why not just grab the components and weld or get them

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] CB700sc Exhaust

[Dustin Anderson]

I really like them. I was just thinking about replacing them with something
a little lighter and easier to take off when I need to replace the exhaust
gaskets. I need to replace the valve cover gasket and wasnt looking forward
to wrangling them back off and on the motorcycle. But, it isn't necessary
to take them off. As far as looks go, I don't know if you can get any
better than stock.

Pretty good, no holes, They are still functional, and I plan on keeping

exhaust would be to add a little bit more performance but mostly just to
shave some weight and make it easier to maintain.

[Nighthawk Lovers] CB700sc Exhaust

spray paint to to paint the frame. Is it worth it, or should I just get 
better at handling the stock exhaust?

[Nighthawk Lovers] CB700SC swingarm dust seals/oil seals

[Dustin Anderson]

I replaced a couple more gaskets and seals and noticed the swingarm has 
packable bearings. But the oil seals can only be found in Norway or 
something. None of the online partshouses have any. Are those seals 
removable with messing them up?

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: 80's NH Brake feel

[Dustin Anderson]

Also, make sure you start with the caliper on caliper on the opposite side 
of the master cylinder, then the other. I heard you could wrap a rag around 
the lever and the grip and zip tie it after bleeding the brake lines which 
also helps with brake response.

I got no idea dude, but I think that mid 80's dual disc brakes are just 
that way.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Questions about engine heat.

[Dustin Anderson]

I let it cool down and then started it and did the big horrible of revving 
it, then shut it off and then tried to start it again and it cranked like 
it used to before it waited for parts. Starter motor and clutch was 
supposedly replaced before I bought it, which doesn't rule it out as being 
the problem but thanks for the focus.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Questions about engine heat.

[Dustin Anderson]

I recently replaced the spark plugs, exhaust gaskets, rebuilt the clutch 
slave, replaced the gear shifter cover gasket, gear shifter linkage seal, 
oil pan gasket and the gear indicator seal. No leaks as of right now, but 
the motor is having problems turning over after a short ride, due to the 
engine being hot. I also noticed that the valve cover on the front, above 
the headers is starting to leak and that the engine seems to be hotter. The 
CB700 seems to be running better than it did before, but when I stop it 
seems to be wanting to not turn over. My question is how does one know if 
the exhaust gaskets are sealing properly? Is it just my two year mark on 
the battery and time to replace it?
