Fantastic weather last weekend. Had a nice long ride on Sunday. Saturday i had a couple of appointment so did not ride too much.
Really enjoying this bike, It just purrs along on the highway. Love the Bridgestone Battlewing tires. Had a chat with a Kawasaki
Versys rider and he has been using the same tires and said he loves them. Tons of grip in the wet.
My first weekend of riding the bike i had issues with knee pain after a while and sore butt. But after this past weekend my iron butt is coming back.
And no knee pain at all.
I have booked my first service for May 13. I will be over the 1k by a bit but that is ok. Did the same with my former NC750S.
I knew i was going to be close to the 1k on odo last weekend. When i parked the bike on Sunday, i looked at the odo and it sits at 999km
I would have made the appointment for May 06 for service but i have another appointment that day so i have to do it on the 13th.
Making an appointment with the dealer means i will get the bike in first thing and pick it up later the same day.
I figure by the time i drop it off for service i will be at around 1500km. This coming weekend the weather going to be more sun and warm temps.
With my former NC750S my first service was at around 1400km.
One thing about the bike i noticed that i thought was cool was the ghost clock. When the bike is off the clock on the dash still works. There is a ghostly image of
the numbers on the dash. One other thing i noticed is that the NC speedo seems to be accurate. Will have to GPS test it but i have gone past some of those roadside
radar signs that say "your speed is XXX" i look at the Speedo and it same.
