General & Common Items


Motorcycles vary widely from one maker to another, from one model to another, and even the same models may vary from year to year. However, certain things remain pretty much the same. The intention of this section is to cover only those items which are general maintenance items, and would be the same regardless of the year or size of your Nighthawk. Most of you experienced Nighthawk owners are familiar with all this information, so bear with it. It's meant more for those who may be new to the game.

Storing Your Nighthawk

I don't claim to be some kind of expert in bike maintenance. Hell, I'm not even a good mechanic. I do know a good tip when I hear it, and my bullshit detector still works pretty good, so send me your Nighthawk maintenance tips and experiences that you feel would be beneficial to others, and I will post it.
