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

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

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. On Sun, Nov 4, 2018 at 3:50 PM Tommy Hill wrote: >

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

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

[Nighthawk Lovers] Starter Brushes keep burning out.

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? -- You received this message because you are subscribed

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

[Nighthawk Lovers] Questions about engine heat.

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
