Javier, Thank you. Once again I doubt I will remove the baffles. The owner 2nd back from me, had pulled the baffles & drilled them.
Tell you a story. Back in February March, I was working on my bike and the cheapie rear axle lift, bent a tab and dumped my bike over. I tried to lift it myself but couldn't leverage it up. I had one (1) of my sons help me stand it up. My wife said why don't we get me a newer, smaller, lighter bike. That sounded good to me. I asked when & she said maybe August September. So I found a 2013 Kawi KLX 250 with 47 miles on it. I came home & told her & we one of another mother of all fights. Needless to say, I'm going to keep my 1992 750 Nighthawk. My uncle rode one up until he was was about 75. I'm only 59 & still act like a teenager, when my body allows. I also had a 1972 CB 750 back when. I have a soft spot for this bike. I told my wife I will keep it but that I'm planning on fixing it up. No problem. The old girl needs a dent removed from the tank & the tank needs to be repainted. I have other repairs to do but the basic bike is solid. Right now it will idle but not accelerate. After all the repairs to correct that, I'm convinced it is screen mesh filter in the petcock. Gotta drain the tank & fix that. I travel a lot for work, so weekends are precious as far as family & grandchild time. Also, it's been so hot in Houston, you can't hardly work outside. (We move Houston in the summertime. It's about 2 ft from hell). It's starting to cool off so I can start working on it. So that's my story & I'm sticking to it.
