1982 CB450SC Nighthawk is my 1st street bike

  Hi everyone, Just thought I would add my bike to the list.

Bought this bike last year for my first street bike and to get my license on. Was sitting for a couple of years but fired right up with fresh gas and a new battery. I also put new fork seals, rebuilt front brakes and put on back brakes, and put new tires on it. It had 3900 miles on it when I got it and at the start of this year it has 8500 miles. Runs good and never left me stranded, but still needs a little work. The clutch slips a little, mostly when its cold or when you really get on it and there is what feels like a little dead spot in the throttle, when I am cruising on level ground trying to stay at say 35mph and have the throttle just a little open it seems to buck a little. I have lived with it last year but am going to get it fixed.

Thanks, I have about $700 bucks into it and I think I got my money back out of it last year.

Hello fellow 450! Bike looks great.

  My 82 used to buck while trying to hold at 35. If you haven't yet, sync the carbs. That should clear up the flat spot and the bucking. It's amazing how much smoother and more power there is when the carbs are properly synced. Nice first choice for a bike!
