Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Some general questions about the last gen 750 NHawk
I've replaced the valve cover gasket and all four turn signal stems on my '96 after 60k miles. Other than normal maintenance, that's about it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.

The only work I can think of is new clutch plates and spring, specially if you ride hard; then fork service (new seals) probably. Starter might need attention after a very long while, and bearings are supposed to be checked and/or replaced when miles are high. > > I like the conventional looks and riding position of these bike and the > lack of required maintenance.

You can switch to one of the new lithium batteries which can also save a surprising amount of weight. After that there is no much to do IMO that won't require cutting stuff from the frame.

[Nighthawk Lovers] Some general questions about the last gen 750 NHawk
I've owned two and found them to be fine machines. Looking again at a 2003 750 w/23K miles. I'm thinking these bikes are good for 50-75K without any major work required- agreed? I like the conventional looks and riding position of these bike and the lack of required maintenance. I would like to figure out how to lighten one up some. My guess is the stock pipes w/be the biggest weight saver (going to an aftermkt), but I dont see much else to work on/with?
