Hello Kurt, Thanks a ton for the input, it makes a big difference.
The camera is in the workshop and UAE is shut down for the "Eid" festivities, will send you snaps tomorrow. The bike was out in the open, propped against a fence, adjacent to a park. The corrossion on the bike has to be seen to be believed. Kids playing on the bike have torn the seat, the indicators etc. Will keep you posted. Thankyou once again.

Weird... Well, dry rot I suppose. Three liters of your finest 10w-40 motorcycle oil will do perfectly with a filter change. Or, if you're regularly going to see 43+C temps you can move up to a 20w-40 oil. Pictures, please! And of any of those fine British bikes (I'm a closet Triumph and Royal Ensfield man hiding amongst Nighthawk lovers!) -Kurt On Fri, Sep 10, 2010 at 11:48 PM, Joji & Sini Kurian <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Group, > > I am currently based in Dubai/ UAE. > > Rescued a CB 750 Nighthawk that was left in the open for the past 3 years to > rot! > > I've restored 8 British motorcycles in the past, this is my first attempt > with a Japanese machine. > > On the positive side, I've started the engine and the electrics, next on the > agenda, disc skim, indicators, oil filter, oil change, tyres, battery, seat > recovery etc...etc.. > > I'm attempting a complete fluid change etc. However, a manual is hard to > comeby. > > SO, please revert with the quantity of oil this old nail will require and > any pointers to a user/ workshop manual would be truly appreciated. > > Take care and stay well. > > Britishbangers > > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/nighthawk_lovers?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
