I am coming up on 32,000 on my NC so I found myself here doing a bit of research after I was quoted the high dollars for the plugs. Happens the same plug is specked for my '05 Element but they're not to be replaced til 110000 miles. Maybe I should save them for the element?? Kidding. About...

Best milage ever was 87.6 mpg. average milage over the last 5700 miles has been 77.3mpg. worst was my 2nd tank 67.5 mpg Thrashing it on a road trip over the mtns and freeways (well over the speed limit) 10 0f my 28 fillup tanks are over 80mpg Pete

Never found one necessary.... if I'm not keeping track in my head, It's only a matter of comparing rpms to mph...... which usually results in a 'i'm not in 6th, upshift' Pete

My best run was 87.6 mpg on a 222 mile tank touring back roads of Washington...... but then I have 10 other tanks of 200+ miles better than 80 mpg. Pete

Happy, My 2 pc Roadcrafter replaced my Darin in '08. I wear it everywhere, I put it on at least twice a day 8 months of the year. Follow their recomendations an you have a 95% chance it will fit corectly. If it dosn't you simply send it back and they make the adjustments. The reason they...

Great stuff, Turbo, thanks for sharing

I didn't bother with extended ins for any of my bikes. 6 hondas in the barn and not a issue amongst the bunch. Bought the extended warantee on my '05 Element and I havn't had a problem with it either.

One of my big surprises (and it shouldn't be) is that the number of cold starts on a tank dramaticly effects the mpg by 5 - 8 mpg

I still have my first Sony mini camcorder, I remember being shocked to see the in having (as I recall) a label 'built in Shanghi' that would have been '02 or so

I've been wondering why I haven't felt this way about the NC700.... course, unlike some of the ADV rider posters I don't feel one should make comments about a bike untill they've rode it a least 5000 miles in some of the conditions critqued about. (I've only logged 5500 miles on the NC since...

Thanks for posting, reminds me much of the Mt. Baker Hwy here in Washington (the state). Better half and I were on that strech of road on Sunday. We're hoping to make it to Europe in the next few years and bag some of the roads you riders get to enjoy out your back door. Pete

Just tried my BMW F650(single) tailbag... fits like it was built for it.

Just talked to my dealer I have one of the 'RK' chains, scheduled for replacement tues .... didn't say anything about not riding it. Are talking about the vibration in the 48 to 55 mph area ?

I've been doing a bit over 77mpg in 4500 miles (that's ... 92.7 UK MPG) milage varies depending upon wether I'm commuting or touring or in a big hurry (85 mph)

They've been out for a while.... same tire that the KTM Duke uses.... Just had the local KTM dealer eyeballing My NC. He was showing me pics of his bike with MT 60's... He's very impressed with the tire.

N number off my '46 Stinson Pete

This was my thought as well, as my last 3 Honda's have been on by multiple gps checks. all have been non ABS units.... a '09 NT700, '11 CBR250R, and the '12 NC700X

I've done several fills now just after the red line starts blinking. Every time the fill has been very close to 3 gals. I've gone as much as 40 miles into my reserve, expectirng to be dry within 16 miles... I ended up taking 3.32 gals got better than 75.4 mpg on that tank.
