83 V4 engines were notorious for having top end oiling issues, and they would smear their camshafts. On the interceptors they actually added an external oil line to mitigate the problem. Most sabmag or magsab owners (that's what they call themselves, google it) do some sort of oil mod. If that bike doesn't have one then it probably needs new cams. Ask the guy what oil mod was done and if he doesn't know then I'd keep looking. A nighthawk would be the more reliable bike anyway. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

The Nighthawk 750, or the guy who's selling it never called me back. So, I'll take a look at the V45. It has 44,585 miles on it. The valves have been adjusted and the tensioners verified. Carbs have been completely rebuilt with new rubber intakes. Newly painted this year with new forward foot controls it looks like a new bike. I will of course check why the repaint. He has all the documentation on this. What do you guys/gals think of it? Once again I'll mention I know zip about these bikes. Forward foot controls is what I got used to on the Sporty. Thanks again. -- 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].
