When this happened to my ‘93 CB 750, the issue was failed spacers between the carbs and the head. All were causing vacuum leaks. Happened on spring startup.

Sigh…first world challenges. 😀 All seriousness aside, I support your thoughtful decision to keep the Hawks. 👍 Solid, reliable and part of the family! My ‘03 recently logged 120,000 miles, and other than required maintenance items (I’ve used automotive motor oil!), here’s my DIY repair list...

Hello! Getting ready to post about my fork issues when I noticed your‘s from earlier this month. Hoping you have been able to resolve the situation. If you still have your shocks on the bench, I’d appreciate some information. I just replaced the seals on my ‘93 Nighthawk and, following advice...
