Hello! My RU-vid handle is HazMattMoto, but you can call me Matt.
My channel is brand new in terms of content production and I'm very excited to get started. I have big plans for this channel and hope you guys/gals will enjoy the content I have to offer. My content (I hope) will differ from other famous RU-vidrs, or MotoVlogers in particular, and that you'll always be excited to see a new video I've made. Here's to an eventful and successful RU-vid career, an dream that I hope the rest of you, the community, will join me and help me see through.
Nice bike brother, I just but an 83 today, I freakin love nighthawks , they stuck me as a typical 80’s bike at first but QUICKLY gained my love for its style, and engineering. Definitely a great bike to deal ride.
I had one, bought it in 1991 for $1200.00 and sold it in 2008. At the end of ownership the clutch started to slip when I'd red line in 1st and then pop it to 2nd. Other than the afor mentioned problem it was great. I saw/heard two differences in mine: your muffler isn't stock and the trans I had was a 5 speed with an overdrive for 6th.
I have the 1985 version. Just got back after getting carbs cleaned but have to run with choke on about half on or will stall out while idling, running lean I think. Plan on checking for vacuum leaks this weekend. Can ride around the block but seem to get a little hot also. Do you have a run down of the speeds and what gears you have to be in? Seem like I have to been in 4th to go about 35 to 40 mph. To me that seems a bit slow for 4th gear but it has been 10 years since I rode.
Very nice. I trust you'll take good care of it. I remember when those first came out. I would have gladly traded my 1978 Yamaha XS750E for one of those. It also had twin discs up front and shaft drive. But, it had a disc in the rear. No oil cooler, though. Had lots of charging issues with it.
