How is it going people BrownBrady here
And in this episode I am taking you
For a short ride on my newly purchased
Honda Nighthawk 450SC
Which I suspect has dirty carbs
I am not a bike expert
Don’t know much about bikes
But I can tell you the symptoms
That I am experiencing
It’s mostly hesitation during low speeds
As well as backfiring when I release the throttle
It’s about 5 degrees out and
The bike had been idling for about 3 minutes
And what I will do is tell you how much throttle
I am about to input and how I felt
The bike responded and I’ll get out of the way
So that you can have a listen for yourself
So in this first part here
I am gonna be doing about 25 percent throttle
And I felt that the bike was hesitating
And backfiring several times
Here we go
Alright so what you weren’t able to see in
That video was the unpredictable power delivery
Which becomes a problem during low speed maneuvers
This next sequence was taken a couple of days later
The bike is already warm
I’ve taken it for a 5 minute spin
And if you take a look at the tachometer
It is hovering between fifteen hundred
And two thousand RPM
Earlier in the video it was just around a thousand
I’m not sure if that is normal
But I’m about to make a U turn in this parking lot
And I nearly dropped the bike
Thanks to the unpredictable power delivery
But I saved the bike
I used my leg
So in this next sequence the throttle input
Will be between twenty five and fifty percent
Which would be typical throttle input
For me anyway during street rides
And I must say that the bike does respond better
It is a lot more predictable
I can feel my butt sinking into the seat
When I reach around 50 to 60 kilometres per hour
It smooths itself out
So anyway I’ll get out of the way now
And you can have a listen
Alright so that was throttle input of
25 to 50 percent and the bike responded nicely
This next part is throttle input of
50 to 75 percent
Or that’s what I thought it was anyway
And the bike responded even better
So I’ll get out of the way now
So you can have a listen
And finally this test is at full throttle
Keep in mind that I didn’t just crank the throttle
I smoothly reached wide open
And I never reached red line
It could be my clutching so
Please feel free to critique my clutching skills
Dirty carbs
Most likely but let me know what you think
