Changing out the chain and front and rear sprockets today...
Removed rear sprocket, called dealer to get torque specs on rear sprocket nuts from the maintenance manual. He called back and said 80 foot lbs.... No problem.
Set torque on 3/5 nuts to 80 foot lbs (with torque wrench), but 2/5...
Hey everyone,
Just curious if anyone besides me is heading out to the Death Valley Noob ride at the end of March ? I will be there the entire weekend and a little more. Unfortunately, I am leaving the NC at home, ditching it in exchange for a loaner 250. It should be a blast.

Alright guys just to get your input on the best chain and sprocket purchase here.
I have a 2012 Manual with 14K and I think it is finally time.
Should I go ahead and replace both sprockets? I am running taller shinko 705s so is there is a need to go down a few teeth on the rear sprocket ...
Few things frustrate me more than when a simple job takes much more time than it should because of a poor design on the part of a manufacturer.
Long story short, OEM battery died. Ordered new "Mighty Max Battery" with the common cheap terminals that include rectangular nuts and nothing to...
Moving tomorrow and just found out I have to have an empty gas tank, how hard is it to drain gas on this beast ? Am I better off just trying to ride out the last Gallon ?
I am happy to share the first video in the Get Out to Garrapata Series with everyone here. Today marks 5 years to the day we lost our friend who would inspire us to take 4 Novice riders (including myself and my NC) through 1700+ miles of Dirt Roads and Back Roads from on a unique route from...
Unless you just really like spending money on tires.
a 740 mile trip cost me about 3/32nds of tread depth on the rear over two days... nuff said.
Good tire, just short lived.
Ride Highway 89A... the whole thing, beginning to end.. you will not be disappointed.
This was me riding on 89A (AKA: "The Viper") from Jerome to Prescott. Photo Courtesy of Hwy89AViper Photos. Think Tail of the Dragon with Less traffic and Less Cops...

First clip From the Get out to Garrapata movie.... Coming as soon as I can make the time to finish putting it together :p;)
I drained the oil today with plans to go and retrieve some oil from the dealership tomorrow and then got started on my valve clearance check... but now I'm wondering before i turn the crank if oil needs to be filled back to proper level. I imagine so, but thought i would check here first.
Id...
After 15 days on the road, 13 nights camping out, 4 states, 4 national parks and more than 2500 miles, with about 500 miles of dirt, we have safely returned to our starting point and are beginning the process of taking account.
We'll have full ride reports up soon as well as plenty of video...
Good afternoon!
As requested, I have put together a go-by video for the install of Fork Tube Extensions for the NC700X. These are avaliable here at the bottom of the page. fork extensions I used the 1 inch 41MM extensions and I am quite happy. This is a good mod to consider if you are...
So after switching from Avon Distanzias to Shinko 705s, I figured I would share a thought or two.
The Good:
Overall the Grip from the tires (both front and rear) off road is noticeably better, even at road-inflation pressures (I run 32 psi front, 36 psi Rear). Off-road, I think that these...
Front Fender Raise, along with ALU-Rack install and More....

Okay so I just gave my MotoSkiveez their first test ride, hoping they may be able to substitute for a new seat and I am less than impressed. Unfortunately for me they wernt any better than the $10 set of bicycle shorts bought at Target :confused:
