Np helmet, no jacket means no brains after a small fall.

FWIW, if you buy tires from Cycle Gear, you can dismount your wheels from your bike, take them to Cycle Gear, and Cycle Gear will swap your new tires onto your wheels free of charge.

i got a few questions about your nighthawk, im looking to buy one for 225 and its in super similar condition to yours and i was wondering if its going to be worth buying it and how much money you put into yours since you got it

Nice bike

A 2005 Mitsubishi l200 with an inline 4 COP ignition system with an engine code of 4G64 SOHC engine installed in it was pretty okay. Thus, the client used it for some errands from the morning hours to the afternoon and it was perfectly running. Nevertheless, when the client returned home the 3rd time, his boy reversed the vehicle within the man's compound for a wash. If I'm not mistaken though, the car stalled on him or it was about 20 minutes ago when the boss was about to move again with the car that the noticed the problem. But they said it was only a reverse he did. The car would crank, start but stall immediately within 4 seconds. I was called to rectify and fix the issue. One of the things I checked when the car was cranked was the fuel system. With ignition on, the car wouldn't pump even an iota of fuel through the fuel hose to the engine. Bypassing the pump directly to the battery positive and ignition switch to the on position, there's a great pressure or amount of fuel from the fuel hose. Alternatively, I unplugged and plugged back the 3 wire CKP sensor connector and noticed a great buzz of fuel too. I proceed with testing fuses and relay from the engine bay and only one fuse was bad and it was replaced. From inside the car I all relays and noticed that the CKP sensor no longer pumps fuel to the engine with the unplugged and plugged method but the bypass method and noticed the relay location that controls the CKP fuel pressure buzz on ignition to the battery positive still wasn't affected. I didn't know more to do there than swap the relay. Next, I checked for injector pulse and noticed only a single or no pulse at all. I tried to hook up a scanner to conduct some test however, the scanner was not connecting. Next, I checked and observed that the timing was pretty weak. I showed the client, he said I should replace it which I did. Presently, it's a crank no start, single injector pulse no spark, no communication to my scanner. Please, how can I address this issues? How can I bench test the car 3 wire CMP, CKP sensor with a multimeter or a test light or LED light outside the car? Where is the fuel pump relay location. Please send me the car wiring too , partaining to the no start most likely.

Talk too much just get to the point

Heyy, I saw your post on reddit. I just picked up the exact same bike/same colour = Love it! ..I'm in Canada..she has 48km = about 30k miles. I got it basically off a mechanic who fixes/sells bikes, so it's running like a top..only put on 100km's so far, but got 'er up to 140KPH & it's very smooth. I'm no speed demon..still have my 07 Ninja 250 lol but wanted to feel 'er out. Very smooth,. much nicer ride than my 250. I live pretty rural, travel allot of dirt roads, so Im going to put on 60/40 to 70/30 enduro tires. Do you still have this one? How is it running after all these years? Anything I should watch out for etc? Thnx & Cheerz!

Cute story! But I’m judging for having 5 motorcycles…

Another banger, what a cool intro

Really appreciate this video. Was wondering about your Kawasaki Concour red I think it was a 2000 or 2003 something like that . I think you had stated in the past that when riding it it gets a little hot against the legs while you're riding it. I'm wondering if you've ever gone on any long touring with it and I don't remember in the video as to whether you said how much you paid for it. as of this day what do you think it's worth used I had one dark green but sold it Cause It needed the front shocks to be rebuilt and I didn't want to have to do it or pay to get it done . but now I'm looking to get another one probably a red 2003 like yours. And last question I know it depends on the make of the motorcycle but in regards to motorcycles in general is over 100,000 miles pushing it as far as expected it to last very long after that without getting an engine rebuilt.

Wow, we're up to motorcycle number 5! Hope you guys enjoy this 52 year old bike and watch me work through all the struggles I had with the gas tank this time around.

wow that a great buy i love the older bikes ninja 500 ..the new ones look awful..you did great on getting it back to running

i JUST got one for 600 eur from 1988 and it everything works on it except the acceleration feeling kinda jerky, it's my first bike and it was a gamble these things are old and not a lot of people want them so hey just sit around

Im pretty sure the fumes were getting to you around the 13-minute mark...

Hey man I’m looking to get one of these it’s gonna need some work but guys selling it for 400 is it worth it

Very nice to observe and learn. I just picked up a 2000 Concours1000 and this is THE BEST ! Thanksabunch !

Nice to see that you moved on. And found a new place looks fantastic. you ever decided to sell that kawasaki concour let me know. I'm guessing but I'm assuming you might be around the Carolinas or Tennessee that you moved to. Great choice. God bless you Sir. and you look happy that's the most important thing

This guy is tenacious! Appreciate this video. I have an 05 Connie with 30,000 + miles. Can cruise around all day between 3000-4500 rpm, but this bike doesn’t redline until 10,500 rpm. Kind of a sleeper bike.

If I sent a perfect condition 1990 seat, how much money would I have to add for that Corbin seat? Thanks

Did you sync the carbs? Multi-carb bikes you have to sync them.

Well, I have to say I was disappointed at the carburetor segment of your video and lack of detail. Not helpful when in other videos and guys do carbs they disassemble everything/clean everything/sync etc. But it was a good overall. Im looking at a 2002 C10 with 52k on it and the guy wants $3800 for it. Pretty pricey. Anyway, thanks for your video.

Hey, great video! Can you explain the frame sliders? Kinda a mystery. Cheers! Subbed

That seat is great! What is it? Thanks

The screws strip because you are using the wrong type of phillips bit. Needs to be a jis screwdriver

Greatest video on this bike I ever seen . There’s one for sale locally in my neighborhood and I’m going to pick it up today

I had three new ones back to back in the late 80s. They went like a rocket and their top speed varied between 131 and 139 m.p.h. But with panniers fitted they dangerously thrashed around due to air turbulence at close to 130 mph.I guess their model numbers fell in the A1 to A4 range. Because of the turbulence issue Kawasaki de-tuned later models and declared a new top speed of 118 m.p.h. For years I craved for a low mileage one. I now have a 1995 A-7 with 16k miles. I had it fully serviced inc. top of the range exhausts. Wheels painted etc. I had fitted top sat. nav. and two spot lights. But despite all this it runs like a 500cc piece of sh*t. So I now await my tuner's appointment. I don't crave Hayabusa performance simply the performance originally given to this model by Kawasaki which was quite adequate. The Kaw. dealer advises that my bike is close to perfect and runs like new. There is no bigger fan of this model than me, but only if it can be fully restored!

Love it, can’t wait for the next video! (Hopefully not 2 years)

I owned a 2001 GTR 1000 with 24000 KMs owned the bike until 2012 i traded it in with 164000 KMs without any issues on a new FJR Yamaha 1300 which im still riding im 65 in August so hopefully will keep my Yamaha FJR until im to old to keep on riding her all the larger sports tourers should last a very long time as at my age they hardly ever rev past 4 thousand RPM which is about 120 kph on the highway

Love the new place. I am still hoping to buy a house with a 2 car. Been working out of a 1 car for a long time. I have an '84 Nighthawk.

dude...long time...welcome back!!

Been close to two years since a video and a lot has happened. Come take a look!

I have a 2004 gpz500 and what a dick made me cringe with his work carbs 5 mins to remove (the tank mount 4 bolts, the fuse box holder 10mm bolt then the front 2 screws by the carb then the wiggle and hey presto it’s out and enough room to put back in with the movement of the airbox , Carbs in a vice damaging the alloy and didn’t check the pilot jets and the breather pipe is well caked in grime restricting the airflow cos if you block that tube the bike will stall, and at the end when he is having trouble when uneven revs stalling and increasing it’s the balancing out on the butterfly’s in the carbs needed syncing not the air/fuel mix and in the garage when he took the bike apart he also needed to put the airbox sides back on as it no efi with the input air mix was more and when starting the engine after a rebuild you need to add the exhaust as it needs the back pressure to help suck the fuel through and yes I’ve found out my self as ive got another 3 in the process of rebuilding from scratch and for my 1994 I need front break master cylinder, both break callipers, and another tank and nose cone and headlight

Great video man. I appreciate the effort and the detail. I just bought an 09 concours so even though different bikes still interesting and helpful information. Love the blooper reel at the end. Two thumbs up my dude!😅

Bro hows the bike? Any major issues? Did you rebuild the l carbs? Any information is helpful for me. I am thinking about sealing the deal on one of these babys!!

Mine has a strange noise up front too...Only when the forks compress.

any chance someone knows where i could find that seat?

Exactly the upgrade I was thinking of, thank you for providing what needed

Thanks

How tall are you if you don’t mind me asking I want to buy the same bike but I’m wondering if im too short for the bike im 5ft 7in tall and don’t know

Bruh, on the cooling Tank, I said the same thing about who thought this was a good idea to mount a plastic cooling tank right behind the front wheel as low on the bike as possible. UGH.... The Oil Filter is dry, so remember to just go ahead and add the 3rd Quart then Run it to oil light goes out, then, re-check it........ That head lamp looks really bright. LED? I replaced my front bleeders with SB7001S (last S is for short. The also have an L if you want that.) Water is the best brake fluid cleaner, it is absorbed by the brake fluid (hydroscopic) and thereby dilutes and eliminates it with a lil surface flush. DOT 4 can be used in any DOT 3 system but NOT vice versa. higher boiling point is all. Bruh, you a better man than me. I just pay for it to be done and pick it up. 180-225 in my area. Was thinking of buying the Rabaconda us.rabaconda.com/products/street-bike-tire-changer?variant=46550324052263&currency=USD&gclid=CjwKCAiAk9itBhASEiwA1my_61BD2AkuFbaMfRjjuiivzrI0jnTZaol5CiiJGFFaknLV-kTY1bcPpRoCC3gQAvD_BwE all in 600 bucks and ya still need some extra bits but has great reviews. Or the Motea with Discount Code MOTEA25 (25% offffffffff whoooo hooooo) Also TOP25 works. 232.+ www.motea-shop.com/en_us/motorcycle-tyre-changer-tire-bead-braker-for-12-21-constands-md4-blue-a576726-0?gclid=CjwKCAiAk9itBhASEiwA1my_6zYKQ44nRO7JVOsu44SoJUDhtfJl16mF36fe0wDFJWMO_vbOBinG-hoCWToQAvD_BwE And I've paid twice for em which would nearly buy the Rabaconda Guess I'm just a dumb fukker

One does not drive a motorcycle one rides a motorcycle!

Thanks for the procedure. But the crank in a car turns faster than you probe and so I wonder if the sensor may look fine with a slow test but not work well at a faster pace as required by the ECM. Perhaps a frequency setting on a multimeter may be a better test. Mine fails to show 5V randomly when away from metal.. (as if it gets stuck) but seems to start working again after a few tries.

Good afternoon I was checking your video and I did a bench test to a crankshaft sensor Hall effect (3 cables) but I supplied 5V with a topdiag 200 tool, other cable to ground and the other to a multimeter to see the voltage flow but the voltage went from 1v to 0 when you approached an iron piece as you do In video, in this case why I have to use a resistance? Can you explain to me thanks

How tall are you? I have a 36 inch inseam. I'm 6ft 4. Looking at. 2001 tomorrow

Thank you very much ! From Japan !!
