I have an 84 Honda Nighthawk and a 86 TT350 Yamaha as well. I do most of my own work on the bikes and the most recent addition is the XL600R but I don´t know that much about it yet. It´s a bit hard to start but I´ve got a handle on that now. The bike seems to run pretty well but it seems like it has a ´miss´ or just doesn´t perform well after 60mph. It pulls strong up to that point but feels like it´s topping out after that (freeway speeds...) I want to go out to west Texas and ride the highways out there so I figured it would perform better (rated to approach 90+) Any suggestions about starting it easier and why it´s not performing well at higher speeds? All feedback about any aspect of the bike will be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
