Plenty of time for things to seize up. Mine sat for almost 10. Never used sea foam as I am a sucker for marvel mystery oil. Just gotta love the name. Tank looks really nice, look that good on inside? And are you going to go with stock paint scheme on tank? On Fri, Jan 25, 2019, 3:55 PM bobshel.

That cluster has been in storage since 1984. It came from a bike with 204 miles. I put some royal purple synthetic in the rear diff. That stuff is amazing. I hope the cylinders clean and the psi goes up. Thanks! On Jan 25, 2019 2:55 PM, "Darin Hatton" wrote: Sounds like you did the right thing.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] 700 S Compression Readings

Sounds like you did the right thing. Like graham said, I'd expect compression readings to rise after putting some miles on it. Instrument cluster looks pretty damn sweet. Keep up the good work, now that January is pretty much in the rear view it won't be long. If you haven’t done so, it would be a

Forgot to ask, did your 700 sit for a while before you got it? May help compression by running it on the road some to free up rings that may be seized/ partially seized. Had to free up rings on one of my pistons before it would fire. I soaked it in atf and acetone mixture for a week On Fri, Jan 25

[Nighthawk Lovers] 700 S Compression Readings

Compression readings with full engine warm up and throttle wide open are 118 to 126 psi. I know this is way below the 171 +/- 28 psi. It always starts instantly and runs great. To me it has good power. I guess my gauge could be wrong. It only has 15,000 miles. Any thoughts? Thanks! -- You rece
