I picked up a 550 Nighthawk that sat for 20 years. My first bike. Did all the repairs myself with the help of KZbin videos. Runs awesome now. It was not difficult finding parts (gaskets, jets, turn signals) on AliExpress. Parts are common to other, more plentiful Hondas.

Finally got around to watching the whole video! Was super interesting to see the whole process. Definitely a longer fix than I realized. Very impressive.

You should definitely take the boat to a detailer and have them wheel the entire boat inside and out its 100x better with a wheel and polish with someone who knows what they are doing than just rubbing it down with 303 it will be worth it.

I’ve got some Oxidation remover, wax and a buffing wheel. This video was to get the boat operational, following videos will be to shine it up👍.

Good video. She sounds much better after the carbs got rebuilt. I bought a used one in 1984 with 200 miles. Mine was burgundy. I kept it for one year than bought a 1985 Kawasaki Eliminator 900.

@joechevy20352 жыл бұрын
The carb is easy to remove and fix. Plenty of KZbin video's on how to take out and clean the carbs. Do it yourself, at least you'll know how to do it when it fouls up again. I went 4 years between carb cleanings...
