    Chain & Gear Repalcement

    For those who might be interested - the dirty drive gear has just over 50,000 miles on it, next to a clean new replacement part. I'd had the dealer replace the chain when it needed to be as I just wanted to ride on - Until now - and they didn't replace any gears along the way. New chain (4th -...

    Handy Tools . . .

    Did the OEM Heated Grips install this weekend - invovles removing all the side body panels . . . In another life I was a bicycle mechanic - from there the Park Tool: AWS-1 - 4-5-6mm Allen Hex Triple and ST-3 - 8-9-10mm Socket Triple - are effective tools for accomplishing this kind of work -...

    Front Caliper Adjustment?

    Finally got to ride on Thursday after almost six months of not. Anyways, one of the last things I had done back in September was the 24,000 mile service at the dealership. Not sure what all brake stuff gets done then but I'm now getting a little scraping sound in the front brake, nothing from...

    IBA SaddleSore 1000-In-1 done on a Stock* NC700X

    Not official yet as I still need to submit the paperwork - but Saturday completed the required distance (1,000 miles) in the allotted time (one day or 24 hour period) and have the required mileage logs, gas receipts, and witness forms. Actual numbers for my ride were: 1,060 miles in ~16-1/2...

    20,000 miles on an NC700X in less than a year . . .

    Well, just barely - but by four days, it counts! I know, I know; others have done more - but to think a year ago today, I'd never even been on a motorcycle. 10-Aug-2012 was the first day of the three-day Beginner MSF class, we didn't get on any bikes until the next day though. Went to the...

    Bad gas? Clogged fuel filter? Other? . . .

    This afternoon ~75 miles into a 100 mile ride - I initially felt a very brief loss of power, almost like a mis-fire? was in 6th gear ~75mph ~4000rpm - the momentum kinda throws the weight of the bike forward when this happens. I thought I just hit some sort of irregularity in the pavement and I...

    Mirrors!? What - Where - How?

    Are there any general rules about positioning and setting up your mirrors? There must be about a million ways to position the attachments, arms and mirrors, and get them to work - But aren't there some guidlines or something to help you make the most of them? - set the attachements, align the...

    Thinking about adding CRF250L to the stable . . .

    Maybe this isn't the best place for this, but I've come to know some of you and trust your opinions. I want to ride the forest roads in the moutains here but there would be ~20-30mile ride to reach the dirt so would want street-legal but off-road-capable - dual-sport seems to be the best answer...

    Accidents Happen . . .

    Had a little mishap Saturday - slid on some gravel in a turn and ended up in the ditch on the side of the road. Was probably going ~35mph when the rear wheel came loose - could either continue down with it, or what I did was to steer into the slide - bike stood back up, but then of course I was...

    16,000 Mile Service?

    Anybody know what they do at the 16,000 mile service? Manual seems to indicate - replace engine oil and oil filter, clutch oil, air cleaner - anything else I should expect? Will they want to do another valve clearance check?

    Handlebar end cap coming loose?

    Not sure what's up - the throttle side handlebar end cap on my bike seems to loosen on it's own. I tightened the screw, but it still seems to be able to turn inside the handlebar. Is there a trick to getting it to stay in place? How do you pull it all apart - as in removing the part inside the...

    Radiator Guard?

    Wasn't sure of the appropriate place to put this or thread to attach it to, so I'll just ask - I've put on ~11,000 miles in 9 months and never even thought about putting some sort of guard on the front of the radiator to protect it. How necessary it is? How many people out there have actually...
