1983 Honda 750 Nighthawk Is the charging alternator rotor supposed the slide out and in with the nut tight in place. Scraped up the bottom of the stator/rotor cover but not all the way through.

Had to lay it down. Starts and runs fine with small rattle coming from stator/rotor cover. Rode it about 100 yards and seemed good. Question: is rotor supposed to have forward and back play about 3/4 inch. I'm 69 so bear with me. Thank you, Steve Snyder

What is the firing order on a 1983 Honda Nighthawk 650?

Instructions
    • 1 Remove the front tire with the crescent wrench and set aside. Remove the nut and axle bolt from the tier and use the hammer to remove the axle bolt from the forks.
    • 2 Remove the securing bolt at the top of the fork on the handle bars. Slide the forks out of the fittings.
    • 3 Place the forks into the oil pan, bottom down, and remove the oil nut. Let the forks drain for ten minutes into the oil pan.
    • 4 Tighten the oil nuts and remove the seal from the fork fitting with a screwdriver. Slide the seal off the fork.
    • 5 Apply oil around the inside of the seal. Slide the seal onto the fork and press into the fitting tightly.
    • 6 Replace the oil in the fork following the manufacturer's recommendation.
    • 7 Replace the forks and the tire following the steps above in reverse order.

I have a 1983 Honda Accord LX with the charging system light always on. I have had the altenator checked and it is putting out 14.89 and the battery is brand new but receives no charge from the altenator....

I had this problem about 10 years ago on my 1983 Honda Accord so I traced the wiring and found the problem to be with the cable connector that is near the battery. I removed the battery and traced the cable from the alternator to the connector that is located near the bottom of the battery. I unplugged it and checked to see if all the pins were making good contact. Two of them (the main wires from the alternator output) were deteriorated to the point they actually melted part of the plastic plug. Since I wasn't working on a new car, I simply cut the wires from the connectors, stripped about 1/2 inch of the insulation and installed a large wire nut that made a very tight connection when I tightened the wire nut with pliers. I still drive the car every day and haven't had any more trouble with that issue. It would be a good idea to check all the wires in this connector since one of the smaller ones could be broken at the connector itself.

The speedometer on my 95 honda nighthawk 250 does not work.

look on the bottom of the speedo, there is a cable there that runs to the fron wheel, check to make sure it is tight, if it is not, tighten it and it should work, if already tight, unscrew it and check the cable inside, pull it all the way out of its sleeve (the black plastic part) it will be very dirty, so be prepared. ensure both ends are square at the tips, if they are not you need a new speedo cable, if they are square on both ends, slide it back in all the way down and try to twist it, it should not twist once all the way in(but if you turn front wheel, it should twist inside sleeve). once the cable doesnt twist inside the sleeve, match the square end into the square hole where you unscrewed it from on the speedo, then tighten the sleeve nut back on tight. if this doesnt fix it, repost as "how do i relpace speedometer"

1983 Honda Nighthawk 650 stopped starting

Sounds like the starter solenoid went bad. Turn the key on, Make sure it in N. Take a screwdriver and jump the terminals on the solenoid and see if it turns the starter over and starts the bike. If it does then the solenoid needs replaced.
