You're in FLA now? Are you coming back through PA? We could do a
compression check on your engine and a few other tests, Graham

So the first half of my '92 CB 750 Nighthawk cross-country trip has
been fun: 8 weeks, 9K miles, SF > LA > PHX > Sturgis > ND > Maine >
FL, with a few epic sidetrips along the way (e.g. dodging falling
tree pieces in heavy rain and winds along the tail of the dragon at
midnight in torrential thunderstorm with 10-30 lightning flashes/
sec -- fun!).
82,000 miles on the engine now. No one can believe i'm doing it on
my 20-year-old Nighthawk. Everyone says frame will probably rust
before engine gives out. I've met jealous Harley guys in pretty
much every state so far.
Been lucky to get over 35mpg, sometimes down to 25 on windy
interstates. I've got maybe 200 pounds of gear, but still seems
low. What MPG are those on this list with similar 90's CB750s
getting normally?
Thinking to head back west across the country next, if you've
interest in a visit, ping me direct.
Engine woes: starting to occasionally lose power in top gear on
highway. I pull over, fill tank, she's fine again. Heat and wind
may be contributing factors.
Bought a laser thermometer, right side exhaust (when sitting on
bike) is consistently ~50 degrees colder than the other thee. Any
ideas if that's a problem and how I might could fix?
Love this bike. Well worth the $1000 I paid. :)
Peace,
+Lie
