I saw someone else post up saying they had a manual, so I figured it would be okay. Yes mine is a 2013 Manual model. -Jesse

Just ticked 4000 miles the last time I was out, had to pull over and snap a pic of the mileage haha. Oil change at 600 miles, that's the only thing besides exhaust so far. Tires might not live to see the end of the season... How many miles have you guys gotten out of the stock Metzlers? Mine...

23 here, probably one of the youngest on the forum haha. -Jesse

I've actually out shifted bikers many years my senior, on my manual 700. I usually shift without the clutch if i'm not cruising. I kinda brought that over from my quad riding days, I only use the clutch to stop and go on a quad, that's it. -Jesse

My manual model does the same, the engine RPM is too low to give the smooth operation you're used to. -Jesse

Used this technique more than once, I hate doing the "back it up and pull it forward" method... -Jesse

I'll put it in neutral and hawk the mirrors till there 3-4 cars behind me, I rarely have the bike in gear at a red light. -Jesse

Mine does the same thing, I consider it normal honestly. If you think about it, when the clutch is engaged in neutral, it's spinning the transmission. That's where your extra noise is coming from. -Jesse

I usually wave at anyone on 2 wheels, most wave back or nod their helmets. The only time I won't wave is if I'm focused on something else or trying to maneuver my bike. -Jesse

Does anyone have a link to ones with LED signals in them? I'd like to get rid of the3 stalks on the front fairing and run different mirrors with the signals in them, like some crotch rockets. I think it would give a different look to it. -Jesse

I have mine set to 1080p wide, on a 32gb card that gives me about 2.5 hours of runtime, which is about the time I need to charge it. Most times it's around town and what not, I haven't been on a ride longer than an hour or so yet. -Jesse

For the HID in the stock housing on the NC, I have AWESOME light output, and no one has flashed their lights at me... yet. I too am using a DDM kit for the bike, as well as 2 kits on my DD truck for the low beam and fog lights and have zero complaints. Back to the NC, the output with the HID...

I'll usually turn mine off mid corner, that's about the time I remember about it haha -Jesse

Those look amazing! -Jesse

What is the purpose of having the cross brace? Does it stiffen up the handlebars? -Jesse
