^^^THIS. that kind of giant mass of wind blockage in front is going to bake a summertime rider.

Me too. I also wave at kids on bikes - they get excited too. We're all in it together against cagers on cell phones.

I was also a 20+ year absent rider that came back to motorcycling on the NC700x. Welcome back and stay safe. I'd change the oil now, I always use fuel treatment for the winter as the ethanol in fuel will attract water and can do damage. Plug in a battery tender (smart one) and that's it for...

No need. And please don't be a "blipper"

Welcome - I too returned to the NC700 in my late 40's after about 25 years of not riding. I wanted to buy something not too fast and the DCT was a nice way to ease back in. I've owned it 3 years now and have really enjoyed my return to 2-wheel adventure. The NC700x is not a perfect machine -...

I have stock bars with heated oem grips, barkbusters installed which changed the weights. And the new kaoko throttle lock. I've read and looked at various solutions including foam grips (I use my heated grips a lot and concerned that insulating them will be an issue), barsnake (vibration...

Still riding my nc. 45 min today and my hands are tingling bad. That's the biggest complaint right now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So an update. I decided to try and stay frugal with the economy the way it is now. I bought the kaoko system and despite buying the one for bark busters it did NOT fit correctly. I had to add a couple washers to get the friction area to work correctly. In the end however it works and I've...

The bike likes low RPM shifts. Adjust your expectations. I enjoy the way it rides that way, kinda diesel like. If you want a high revving motorcycle you bought the wrong one. S mode as mentioned will solve the chugging "problem" but personally I much enjoy D mode. Good day.

personally I'd list things in order of importance for me as (note: motorcycle specific gear implied, I always wear some sort of shoes and pants, lol): 1) helmet 2) gloves 3) jacket 4) pants 5) shoes I almost always wear 1-4 and about 1/2 the time add 5. Never without the top 3. If you go...

I'm never riding in London again.. oh wait...

Lol she has been trying to convince me that the Alaska motorcycle trip I have been thinking about would be a two up trip. Might just have to show her this thread. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

WowZA! If my wife sees this she will never ride with me again. DELETE THIS THREAD! LOL

Be aware that certain years (I think 2014+) do not have switchable high beam wire in the harness. There are lots of threads on this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

video from original post works for me

I've got a 2014 - had it three years. Welcome from Ohio Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A tripod is not the same weight distribution as a motorcycle. the angles are not the same and the weight/center of gravity is not the same. Maybe others motorcycles are different but on mine the lean angle with the kickstand down is not that much and on the other side of the lean there is...

Is this a proven thing or just an opinion? Yes the triangle is wider but this just seems counterintuitive to me.... Maybe I've been doing it wrong all these years but although I typically keep my bike on it's side stand if I know a big storm is coming (mine is stored outside and under a cover...

Also I'd rather not add anything over the grips as they are heated, are there any heavier bar ends or other anti-vibration options for this motorcycle with bark busters on? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
