What do you do with a Honda Nighthawk that idles very low and even turns off once you push the choke back in after giving it a long time to warm up?

Charge and check your battery. Charging systems in these bikes are notoriously not amazing. Nighthawks have electronic ignitions which controls idle speed automatically. I.e. if the battery power isn't there, theres no idle = bike dies. Might want to look into a new voltage regulator if problem is persistant. Or, just use a battery tender frequently.
Hope that helps.

Your bike idles high with the choke on but when you take it off it shut off?
It's OK for your bike to idle high, briefly, as it warms up. Just move the choke to the half-way point or so before taking it off completely. A gradual reduction in the choke will make shut-offs less likely.

When cold the civic idles up and down What could cause this?
incorrect choke adjust ment. when cold if choke is working correctly the car will idle higher until warm enough for the choke to release. It Depends on the year of the car as to whether it has a choke or not. If it fuel injected it will not have one. If that is the case it could possibly be due to a coolant temperature sensor. If there is a check engine light on,it would be best to have the computer scanned for codes.

You might check to make sure that the choke is not staying partially closed. That will cause these symptoms. Also, make sure you have a clean air filter.
