Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Oil leak

Hi Vince, I too have a 550 Nighthawk. As Allen pointed out the most common sources for oil leaks on the 550, 650 and 700s nighthawks are the seal behind the gear shifter. This will show with oil beginning at the shifter, going back under the bike and on the side stand and main stand. The same tell
