I don't have any solutions, but I do have a service manual for a 2012 X if you want. It's digital, so we could make a plan to send it electronically Sent from my SNE-LX2 using Tapatalk

Sounds a lot like squash. I played against an older lady, had maybe 20 years on me. With my ego I had beaten her already before the game started. By the time the game was done as a contest, she had beaten this 30 year old male to a pulp, hardly breaking a sweat. She gave me a few pointers and I...

Do Bison get aggressive when you get into their space? Here in South Africa we get a lot of hippo and they're usually quite territorial and can be deadly if you don't keep your distance Sent from my SNE-LX2 using Tapatalk

As far as YouTube is concerned, I've learned most of what I know from clips by an Australian man. I think his channel is nc700xstuff or something similar. Clear, concise instructions Sent from my SNE-LX2 using Tapatalk

All solid advice here so far. As far as tooling is concerned, I have decided not long ago, to purchase whatever tooling I need for the job from the money I would have spent at the mechanic. That way, I learn to sort the bike out myself, acquire the tools and I don't pay over the top amounts to...

So members of our local anti-poaching unit were on their way out to sea when they spotted this guy just chilling on the bouy. When he was questioned, he suddenly became a deaf mute, but he was clearly dropped off on the bouy by his colleagues for him to drop some Gill nets into the water. 100's...

I'm from South Africa and it's fascinating to see you guys talk about the poor resale value of this bike. Around here, the guys who have them are very reluctant to sell, so they tend to keep their prices very well. The 2012 model I have, could possibly go for the same price as when I bought it 2...

Well firstly, welcome @Aeroburger. Secondly, it seems I'm only going to be speaking for myself here, but when I get on the odd dirt road, I thoroughly enjoy myself! Especially with the road tyres I'm able to slide the tail out at about 40kph! Of course I'm no expert, but I've ridden the odd off...

Hi guys, sorry for somewhat reviving a dead thread... I just wanted to know, how do I tell if my bike has the oem chain and sprockets? I bought it at about 40k kms and they're due for replacement soon, so I'm trying to get a rough idea of what kind of mileage I can get with the oem setup...

Hi guys and girls. I'm Karl from (close to) Durban, South Africa. Been riding bikes for about 15 years now, but I've been on my NC for closing in on 2 years and still loving it! I've been scouting this forum for a day or 2 and have found some really interesting reading! Sent from my SNE-LX2...
