Hi all I bought an 83 Nighthawk 750 back in March. The bike was the 83rd one off the assembly line in 83 and only has 20k miles on it. I got it for a grand which I thought was a bargain. All that I have had to do to it was change the battery, oil and tires. I absolutely love my bike. I have been thinking about putting a cafe racer fairing on the nose but that isn't what I am writing about. I would upload pics but as I am fairly new to this group I haven't yet figured out how to do that. I live in the Derby city, Louisville where people have no clue how to merge and it creates crazy amounts of traffic. I was on my way back from Lexington and got stuck in traffic. Needless to say going slowly the tranny got really hot. The hotter it got the less clutch that I had. It got to the point that I didn't have a clutch. I was having to shut it off and start it up with space because I was in gear on startup. Once I got out of traffic and opened it up to 75-80 the tranny cooled down and my clutch came back. I remember reading recently I think about someone having a similar problem. What causes this? Can it be fixed or replaced? I was planning on taking a weekend trip down through Tennessee into NC via "The Dragon" but I am concerned with it heating up at low speeds. I would rather not be halfway into it with a 150 curves left and lose the clutch. Suggestions?
