Holy thread resurrection... But yeah, mine is exactly the same, 90k on the original clutch - still no slippage so I'm expecting 100k+ I use the clutch to pull away in 1st, once rolling I never use it on the upshift and always balance the revs on a downshift (blip throttle so the clutch is...

NC700S, 2012 ('62 UK plate), 29200 miles. I ride in London and have seen a couriers bike (same age) on over 51000 miles.

Just in the tail access above the rear wheel, all of the other colours were there. Not sure where the option connector is? I mounted the alarm unit in the tail cubby as you suggested, the siren just in front (it's extremely loud there, so no issues with it being muffled!) The alarm seems to...

Weirdly I didn't have unswitched power (red with white), so I ran a fused link directly to the battery. I then solder-tapped the turn signals to the alarm and ran the ground to the seat bolt. All works well and installed in under an hour :) I haven't installed the blinking LED (not sure...

I've had a Multitec for the last 5 years and it's been great, but I've just bought a Neotec too. I've got a massive head and the Neotec has more room around the chin (I can 'kiss' the chin bar in the Multitec, but not the Neotec) Both good helmets though.

Cheers - I'll pay the bit extra to keep things correct!

I just had my 600 mile service, I enquired about the 8000 mile service and the dealer said the valve check is optional and that he probably wouldn't bother doing it until 16k (he said that they've checked lots so far and not a single one was out at 8k) Thoughts? It works out at around an extra...

That's superb info, thank you. The wire colours would be massively appreciated!

I've just bought a basic alarm and want to fit it (I just wanted something to make some noise and flash the indicators if it's moved) - has anyone done this? If so, where did you mount the control box and the siren? Anyone know what wires to tap for the indicators? It's an NC700S, but I'd...

Yep no probs, the gauge kept flicking back to 2 'clicks' so I guess there was still a bit sloshing around. I filled it to the brim and it took 10.23 litres, so there was still a good couple of litres left. I got 76 UK MPG on that tank.

Cheers - given me a bit more optimism in getting home ;)

I read that the NC could achieve over 200 miles on one tank, I've currently put 130 miles on a tank and the fuel gauge has just started to blink on the bottom segment. My first 2 fill-ups have averaged 73mpg (imperial) which I've been quite pleased with. I need to do another 35 miles before...
