I think performance mods should be a priority, especially changing the air intake and adding a Vance & Hines exhaust for that sweet sound!

Totally agree, but don’t forget about tuning! You won’t get the best results without a proper tune post-mod.
The 1999 Night Train is a solid bike! I’ve found that routine maintenance like oil changes and checking the brakes every 5,000 miles is crucial to keep it running smoothly.
Absolutely! I’d also suggest checking the battery connections regularly. Weak connections can lead to starting issues, which are common with older models.

Routine maintenance can help avoid issues like the leaky fork seals. They’re a pain to fix but preventative measures like regular inspections can save you trouble.
So true! I’ve also come across electrical gremlins due to aging wiring. It’s best to inspect connections whenever possible.

I’ve had my Night Train for a couple of years now and had to troubleshoot the ignition system. It was just a faulty coil, but it took me a while to pinpoint it. Anyone else had ignition issues?
Yes! Ignition issues can be tricky. Another common problem I’ve seen is with the fuel lines. Make sure to check for leaks regularly.

Maintaining your Night Train might seem daunting, but it’s all about consistency. Make checking tire pressure and chain tension a part of your routine to avoid more significant repairs down the line!
Couldn’t agree more! But honestly, I find it relaxing tuning up my bike on weekends. It’s therapeutic!

Does anyone feel that Night Trains are uniquely forgiving when it comes to repair mistakes? I’ve learned a lot from my errors, and she just keeps on running!
Haha, well, I wouldn’t push my luck too much on that! Just last week, I found out the hard way that neglecting the brakes is a no-go!
