Hey Mike, I too (now) have both an early 80s 650 and an early 90s 750. :D My brother across the country!
Interestingly enough, my 650 is in a currently not-running state and my 750 is my DD, so... what a co-inky-dink! For your chain question, I've been lubing it by putting the bike up on its center stand on a level bit of concrete slab, letting it idle in low gear while I spritz chain lube on the chain as it goes around the rear sprocket. I have a little chocking action for the front wheel, so it can't rock forward off it's center stand. If you don't have a center stand on yours, might want to get one. I honestly don't think I'd manage even half of I do in to that bike for maintenance without it! As for gas, my 750 runs fine on regular, but I do lose some performance and economy; 1-3 mpg, well documented (I have an app on my Eris that lets me keep track of costs, distances and volumes, with comments). I run premium, it's worth it for me. -Kurt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
