Don't want a project ? Pass it by. '83 model has issues with electrical system and cam chain tensioner. If it's a really nice one and the price is right, somebody who puts forth some effort would have a great bike. Graham seems to find all the best ones. They are out there. '85 model is last and best of the bunch.

The current owner tells me of a noise from the engine, perhaps valve lifters or more likely cam chain slack? Although I'm a fair mechanic, I do not want a project. I know that the reputaion of this bike is very good for many years of trouble free reliability. How can I determine what the source of the noise is? If it appears the bike has had reasonable care, should 30K be of concern, I might ride 2K a yr. As I understand it; cam chain noise is a common but seldom serious issue. Input/suggestions appreciated, ride safe! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
