Jenya, I think you’re talking about the brushes, which are a chunk of compressed carbon powder: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brush_(electric) They’re rubbed over a ring of contacts and worked down over time. After so many years they’re rubbed

I broke it with an arbor press: https://www.harborfreight.com/1-ton-arbor-press-3552.html . If this thing hadn’t worked, I would have given the shop press a try. Just in case you have any of that in your shop. Or maybe this here:

Yes it’s a pain. I have a tire changing machine, non electric, but it has a means of breaking the bead. On Tue, Sep 24, 2019 at 4:33 PM Jenya Spektor wrote: > So I got the tires and took the rear wheel off first - it took me 20 min > to break the bead on one side and now I am struggling to

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: 1983 NH CB 650 - need to change tires

So I got the tires and took the rear wheel off first - it took me 20 min to break the bead on one side and now I am struggling to break it on the reverse side. It just wouldn't come off. The tire is super stiff and old. Any tricks I should use? Thanks On Fri, Sep 20, 2019 at 11:35 AM Kyle Munz

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: 1983 NH CB 650 - need to change tires

Agreed. No particular brand but I've got a bucket of generic wheel bearing grease from some autoparts store that I've been using for years. -Kyle On Fri, Sep 20, 2019 at 10:31 AM Tommy Hill wrote: > Perfect advice above! > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: 1983 NH CB 650 - need to change tires

Your brake linings look good Jenya, just clean them up. I use compressed air in the hub when I take the rear wheel off. I use a little fresh grease On the final drive. Any wheel bearing grease I wipe the axles clean and then just a real thin wipe with the same wheel bearing grease to prevent any

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: 1983 NH CB 650 - need to change tires

[image: 0.jpg] So took the rear wheel off. Few questions here: 1. Should I repack the final drive with fresh grease? And which brand should I use? 2. Should the rear and the front axle be greased and with what? 3. Please look at the picture attached and let me know if I need to change the break

Jenya, here’s the company I bought mine from https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/e11401.m1842.l44715/7?euid=7135d8f746634ea3be56e7a8e3b7dc6a=43699536482=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fusr%2Ffullcirclepowersportsco=bu=bu $158. Delivered. Just took the bike out for its first time on the road in 24

Graham, Where did you purchase it from? Same guys as in my link or elsewhere? The 4into1 charges 65 for UPS ground for these (bringing the final price w/tax to about $230) or so. Thanks On Tue, Sep 17, 2019 at 1:46 PM Graham Rogers wrote: > Your first option is what I just put on a CB650SC this

Your first option is what I just put on a CB650SC this morning. Took me about an hour or so to take the old tires off and mount the new ones and that’s with sticking the new valve in the wrong way and 5 minutes contemplating which way the tires go on. Even with the arrow on the tire telling me I

In Sheepsheadbay, Brooklyn, NY 11235 If anyone knows of any good shop around me - let me know. Otherwise I'll be doing it myself. And yes, I'll be getting a set of both the front/back just to be safe. I was looking for an earlier thread on the tires and can't find one - can someone point me to it?

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: 1983 NH CB 650 - need to change tires

Jenya, you mean they charge $55.00 for tire and mounting or just mounting? I do all my own but wish someone else would do them for me. It’s never real easy. Good tire irons make a different and there are good helpful tips on YouTube. I just ordered Shinkos front and back for a 1984 650 Nighthawk.
