Recently bought a 1997 Nighthawk 750 with 22,000 miles on it. It is easy to see why everyone seems so excited about owning one of these. I do too. Rode many years ago and am in love with doing it again. Problem: Starts and runs great EXCEPT ****** At about 65 or 70 mph when I attempt to punch it to get around someone it stalls for just parts of a second, then revs up and off I go. This isn't just an instant hesitation, it is dramatic enough to cause me to feel like I have put the break on or turned the key off for just an instant. Like I said earlier it runs like a top otherwise. Any help would be appreciated. S.
