Goimg to pick up another new toy tomorrow

I almost feel bad but not really. 96 nighthawk 750 nice bike 20k The guy knows absolutely nothing about bikes. Tires are good no rust in the tank everything works. Stainless supertrapp . Plugs are sooty running rich. i would say floats are high due to ethanol in the gas. No smoke. The guy thinks it needs a top end because of sooty plugs. No gas leaks cold start full choke bike starts and you have to turn the choke down a little so it runs properly. Has a little hesitation on take off but runs fine when you get the rpms up a bit $900

 

Shame they stopped making those.

 

So do a compression test and be sure it really doesn't have anything terrible wrong with it;

and then service the carbs. The pipe may contributing to how it's running too.

No valve adjustments to worry about, it has tiny little stubby rocker arms with hydraulic lash adjusters. Just have to be sure to use the exact recommended oil.

 

Got the bike today not a darn thing wrong with it motor wise. The carbs are out of sync and the floats might be a tad to high. Before he got the bike it sat. He cleaned the carbs not dissembling them completely. 1 of the float bowl orings is leaking a tad. Bike has a lot of extras corbin seat ss brake line ss supertrapp tires are almost new brand new gel battery not sure if the oil cooler is factory or not even has a screw on filter.
I have all the paperwork on the bike from oil changes down to the receipt for the header in 97 it was 500 bucks can only imagine now. The limiter screw caps have never been off. Rides fantastic. He only had the bike a bit over a month his other bike is a 600 shadow he did a very nice bobber out of it looks great and i am not a bobber fan. He told me this was the first bike he ever had with multiple carbs. Talked to him for a while and he gave it to me for $800. He is a 20 year army guy and they are moving to Idaho and his wife will only let him take 1. He put both bikes in cl and was gonna keep which ever one did not sell. This is bike number 6 gonna sell a few starting with the suzuki. Pics to come

 

I've always been a huge Nighthawk S fan. That looks like a pretty sweet find though!

 

clean up process has began back wheel before and after. Still not done
