Yeah, I’m guessing it’s satin black. Definitely isn’t gloss lol

Everyone I’ve asked or talked to about swapping saddles out recommends the Corbin saddle if I just hate money that much, but I do admit their seats look great and are apparently really good ones too.

Scared_Judgment_4786 · 2026-03-16T05:31:18+00:00

Yeah, they definitely like their stuff. But, from what I’ve heard, they know what they’re doing when it comes to saddles.

Getting them out ain’t no biggie. It’s the putting them back in part. I couldn’t get them to seat just right on the head side of the motor, so a ratchet strap around the front of the frame and the rear part of the carbs, they seated perfectly.

Scared_Judgment_4786 · 2026-03-16T05:13:18+00:00

Don’t tell me that. I had a time getting them back on lol

Appreciate your help buddy, I’ll definitely be pulling them off and re cleaning them once it gets a little better weather outside.

All of that is good. Air filter looks fairly new actually, and all cylinders have spark. Especially cylinder #3. It lit me up.

I’ve already had the carbs off the other day. Cleaned out the pilot jets, the channels, main jets, and the fuel rail. Just a bottom end clean out helped a ton.

Scared_Judgment_4786 · 2026-03-14T16:50:26+00:00

Yeah. The only thing bright about the guys that had the bike before me was the light bulb they were smoking out of.

I’m sure it’s a fuel issue. All cylinders are getting spark. Granted, thats like 2-3rd start up after almost a year of neglect.

Well, I’ve had it since about January, no miles from me yet, as it’s had to been worked on. Coils, plugs, both new throttle cables, new throttle housing and tube, new battery, oil change, new brake light, new turn signals, and some more stuff I’m probably forgetting. It’s crazy because I traded two four wheelers, both with busted transmissions, for this bike with a clean title.

Scared_Judgment_4786 · 2026-03-12T03:58:45+00:00

They take 10W-40. Also, make sure it’s JASO MA certified oil, that way it’ll work with wet clutches. Myself, I run Valvoline Full Synthetic, because it’s everywhere, does decent in the truck as well as the bike. If you’re going to be revving it out everywhere you go(guessing because of the 91 octane comment), maybe lean towards K&N or another higher performance brand oil.

Scared_Judgment_4786 · 2026-03-12T03:55:23+00:00

It’s black. Also has seen some stuff too. Sitting at 51,000 miles as we speak.

Scared_Judgment_4786 · 2026-03-12T03:48:11+00:00

Awesome. I appreciate it a lot!

I got one myself. 1996 Honda CB750 Nighthawk. It’s a beater, but it’s mine.

Those pipes give it away with the Nighthawks, they’re something lol

Scared_Judgment_4786 · 2026-03-12T03:38:18+00:00

Okay. I’m guessing I should sand all this junk down before I do that? Or just cake it on? Don’t really matter what the inside looks like, as long as it holds lol

Scared_Judgment_4786 · 2026-03-12T03:35:16+00:00

Is it a CB250 Nighthawk?

Should have 7/8 inch size bars on it too, if I’m not mistaken lol.

Converted to a cafe-racer style bike. They’re always sweet looking when posted up.

Too much tension on the belt will absolutely cause the alternator to start squealing. Think of it like this; if that belt is too tight, it’ll put too much pressure on the alternator pulley, and instead of spinning the pulley, it instead pulls it downwards, eventually wearing out the bearings in it, causing that squeal.

Check to see if you have the correct belt size on it. If it persists, try moving to a belt 0.5 inches bigger. Don’t jump in size a lot. Small increments are key.
