I am measuring it at the tip. I am using the GN4 10W-30. I have given the clutch just a little more freeplay than normal and it seems to shift alot better. The bike does creep forward when shifting to a gear and does engage the clutch fully when I grab it. I think that after riding my shadow...

Treybrad Did you find out anything on the above issue?

Ok so I just did a quick measurement and my friction zone is right at 2/8's of an inch. This is the actual cable movement from start of friction zone to full release which is the begining of the free play.

Not at all good info

Nope I skip N

Ok good info guys. Just to report one more thing. I noticed that when I am in neutral you can also hear a faint rattle or garble somewhere. It stops this when you just barley squeeze the clutch. If you place your hand on the clutch cover (Boy it is really hot!) you can feel it until you...

Ok so just an update. I adjusted the clutch a bit. First at the lever I screwed it in all the way and locked her down. I then went to the lower adjustment and gave myself the 3/8ths Is there any harm in having the free play a smaller amount? So now I can tell you that when letting out on...

Ok thanks so much for the quick replies. Yes I will tighten the chain a bit I think that would be the place to start. What is interesting is that once I go from neutral to first or neutral to second and it clunks. If I keep the clutch held through all of this and go back to neutral and then...

Hey guys. Got about 1000 miles on the bike so far now and I seem to be having some problems. After I start the NC and squeeze the clutch I step down on the shifter to 1st and the bike makes a loud POP or Clunk going from neutral to first. It also makes the same noise if I go from neutral to...

Ok so for an update. I am at about 1000 miles on the bike right now and I have noticed that I am having my clutch issue again. As a release the clutch I get in the friction zone and then as I continue to let it out it is very short. So from the time of friction zone till it grabs it is very...

Well another question. I live in Indiana and I am at 520 miles on my NC700X and I am about to change the oil for the first time. It seems that both of the INDY area Honda dealers only have the GN4 in 10W-40 and not the recommended 10W-30 for whatever reason. I assume I will only loose MPG...

Ok so I think I will be going with the regular honda 10w-30 oil. But then again the red bottle of Honda full synthetic is only a couple more bucks. I want to you use the t6 so bad but for basically the same money I can get the conventional honda oil for the same price as the t6 so I don't know.

Hello I was just tinkering around in the garage and placed a 1/2 piece of plywood on the top of a floor jack. I then put this under the shock assembly on the bike and jacked it up. I balanced it all out with a couple pieces of wood under the side stand. Just a cheap way to make a stand to...

What is your thoughts on the pro honda 10w-40 vs the 10w-30 that the manual states you should use. Then again the service manual says to use 10w-40.

Hello I have a 2012 NC700X and I have been wondering about my clutch. I'm not sure if it is working correctly. It seems that when I let out on it that the pull range is very small. It grabs right at the end of the let out. Is there a way I can check on this to see if I am where I need to be?
