Motorcycle Electrical and Ignition for Honda Nighthawk 250

First manufactured in the model year 1982 by Honda, the Nighthawk 250 motorcycle features an air-cooled parallel twin engine and a capacitor discharge ignition. The following are some questions to consider when looking for a motorcycle electrical and ignition for Honda Nighthawk 250.

What is a voltage rectifier on a Nighthawk 250 motorcycle?

Built to use only DC voltage for powering all the components, this Honda bike depends on an alternator for its power, which only produces AC voltage. The rectifier contains a series of diodes that work in a loop fashion to make the conversion of AC voltage to DC voltage possible for this bike model.

How do you replace a starter on a Nighthawk 250?

If you're experiencing starter issues when trying to power up your Honda Nighthawk 250 bike, you will first want to check for corrosion on the power cables going to the battery and starter. If these cables are clean, it may be time to replace the starter.

  • Place the Honda bike on a center stand for stability. Disconnect the positive power cable for the battery on your Honda CB250 Nighthawk.
  • Using the thin end of a wrench to back up the lug while removing the nut from positive lead, remove the power cable that connects to the starter. Unfasten the bolts holding the starter to the engine. Wiggle the starter free by tilting it out and up. If necessary, push down the gear shift for more room.
  • Clean the surface where the starter will mate up with the motor. Apply a thin film of grease around this area.
  • Reposition your replacement starter against the engine. Reapply and tighten the bolts, ensuring they are secure.
  • Inspect power wires for corrosion. Clean if necessary to prevent disruption to power supply. Connect positive lead to the starter, and reconnect the battery.
How do you install a coil on a Nighthawk 250?
  • Turn off the power to the engine switch. Disconnect the battery ground cable. Remove the fuel tank so that you can access the coil and spark plug. If necessary for access, remove the seat.
  • Disconnect the two wires at the switch and the black ground cable. Using an electric drill, drill out the rivets holding the cover plates in place and remove the cover plates and gaskets.
  • Prepare the replacement coil. Slip the right-angled boot over the replacement coil wire. Using cutting pliers and needle nose pliers, flatten out the wire and open the copper connector so it can be fit to the reverse side of the right-angled boot connector.
  • Fold and crimp the connector onto the coil wire, making sure the small ear sections of the connector are embedded properly into the replacement coil wire. Cover the connectors with right-angled boots. Reattach the coil covers. If your replacement coil has metal covers, use self-threading screws paired with locking nuts to secure the cover. If the replacement cover is plastic, slip the cover over the coils and secure with the snap fasteners.
  • Reinstall the fuel tank once the coil is secured. Reinstall the seat and tighten securely.
