RE: [Nighthawk Lovers] Cb700sc troubleshooting

@kyle I believe so, I haven't tried in a few weeks. I'll dig for the wiring diagram and check it out. Hopefully it is included in the pdf of the owners manual that I found online! @richard I'm around Seattle Washington I'll see how much time I can spare this weekend to try everything out! Thanks

@Krunch yes, neutral light and the indicator show that I am indeed in neutral. I'll do my best to trace the wires, but it may require cutting through some insulation. I think the previous owner got carried away with taping the harness.. Hopefully I can figure out something quickly without

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Cb700sc troubleshooting

Now I need more info. What exactly happens when it won't start? Is the starter turning the engine and it won't catch? Can you say it does this only when the engine is warm or hot? Or truly nothing happens? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Cb700sc troubleshooting

When you're in Neutral, and it won't start, is your Neutral light on, and your gear selector indicator (if applicable) also showing Neutral? If yes, I think those circuits are fine. Check / trace wires from the kill switch and the start button next. Understand how bit work, ohm them out, then

Hi all, I am looking for some troubleshooting advice on a beautiful (factory red/black) '84 cb700sc that I purchased last September. I used it all last year as a commuter bike (I know.. I would probably have been better off getting something smaller and newer but I couldn't resist) and have
