Hello fellow bikers,
1992 cb750 nighthawk bought used with fairing installed plus handle bar extensions for a touring bike setup. No go for me!!
Removed the fairing and handle bar extensions. I installed handle bar riser's for a more upright riding experience.
Front forks were very stiff. No sag on me getting on bike. no road feel.
So I drained oil 350cc and removed 1 inch from a 6 inch spacer no sure what springs are installed. flushed the forks with ATF and drained again.
Then refilled with 375 cc of ATF. installed a tie on fork tube to get an idea of travel. Took it for a ride.
very compliant front fork now I can feel the tar snakes on the street - maybe a little to soft.
Fork travel is about 1 inch from the lower triple tree mount- SAG is 1 inch when I'm on the bike.
So suspension travel is good.
Question the amount of fork oil for these bikes?? Some say 4 inches from the top with forks compressed. Some quote a volume of approximately 12oz (350cc).
Anyone want to chime in on about of fork oil for the 1991 to 2003 750 nighthawks.
Thanks in advance
