hi
I bought myself a Honda 650 Nighthawk 1983 and I want to change the hydralic clutch oil. I think I know how to do that, but I dont now how to remove the the plastic cover (black plastic cover) . I gues it is only to pull it of, but I want to be sure before doing so (if I brake it, it is really hard to find a new one - I live in sweden, this bike did only sell a 1000 in sweden and only in 1983).

Hi,

I had the same problem, and it took me a while to figure it out.

The backside of the cover has 3 protrusions sticking out. The plug into rubber grommets, just like the side covers. I too was afraid of using too much force, but I finally got the courage to pull really hard at the back. problem solved!

Good luck, and be aware that there is always a possibility of damage, YMMV.
