Hello again! It's been 2 years since I last visited the website but, as I approach 50,000 miles on my "near trouble-free" bike (2012 NC700) I felt it worth mentioning to other NC owners. I will break the 50K mark within my next 2 fill-ups and I can honestly say, the bike has been good to me...

Has anyone mounted aux spot or flood lights on the basic bike frame structure on each side of the engine? I want to add auxiliary lights, but prefer avoiding the purchase either the engine guard or the light bar at this time (OEM or aftermarket). I may change my mind later.

My JIS screwdriver set is on the way as well. Thanks for the help!

I recommend Liquid Wrench Chain Lube for less than $4.00 at Walmart, 11 oz can. There are many products that folks highly recommended that may be superior however I noticed that no one commented on this product that I use. This chain lube also contains the anti-slinging additives which...

Super clean design and interfaces really nicely with the rear rack system mount that you have on the bike!

If you read my initial note thoroughly, it clearly states "higher gears", under load. In fact, I should have specified in rpm range instead (say 2800 to 3200 RPM. Specifically, when in 6th gear and in the range of 51 to to 58 MPH the problem is more prevalent. For my bike, I had the same...

I did not do any prior injector testing primarily due to the difficulty in accessing them. I was led to believe that they (among other things) may at fault based on the fact that it worsened and then got better over many months. Clearly my issue was not related to my driving habits, neither...

Time to get me a set of the JIS screwdrivers!!!

Cost was approx. $150.00 for the injectors, seal rings and O-rings. I purchased from Procaliber (Washington or Oregon) I believe and no shipping due to the value. 2 ea Injectors- 16450-MFA-D02 @71.89 ea 2 ea Seal ring, injectors- 16472-MGS-D30 @ $1.62 ea 2 O-rings 91301-P7A-004 @ $1.81...

I apologize for recreating this topic which was closed by others who felt our vibration claims had no merit, no solution, or they just got tired of hearing about it. I am now approaching 22,000 miles, and have lived (suffered) with the noted vibration at varying degrees for the two years I...

Several folks have recommended various ways to push the brake piston back into the caliper. Doing so does in fact forces the old contaminated hydraulic fluid back into the "master cylinder", against the seals designed orientation. I know this technique has been performed for years (my dad...

That makes sense. I am reluctant to react to this mpg reduction thus far, unless it continues to drop. I don't notice any sluggishness in the bike's performance and I know that I have been driving with significant headwinds and crosswinds to-from work over the past 2 months. Would you think...

I have also experienced a decline during cooler weather as well. Chart reflects my mileage over 16 months, 15K miles. Lower mileage is during the two winter months. I did not expect it to drop as radically this winter, as it did the prior winter because I was also experiencing other issues...

Greg, I also like the cheaper price options, although we may find the results not to our liking...time will tell. Definitely want to know how yours' turns out. I just purchased the Oxford Hot Hands wrap around heater grips. Got these for $59 - no shipping charge via Revzilla (they price...

Gigs, What tire did you finally purchase? I also have the OEM Bridgestone tires with the "G" suffix NOT "GT". I was able to locate and purchase the same exact OEM tires only from motorcycle superstore. Purchased them back in June to ensure I had a spare set, front & rear. Motorcycle...

My homemade links dropped bike 1-1/2"- fits my 29" inseam perfectly I fabricated several different sets of lowering links to try on my NC700X by drilling stock steel plate 3/16"x 1-1/4" . I eventually settled in on a set of links with the holes drilled at 145cm on-center. This link hole...

Now that the topic has come up again, I am compelled to throw in my two cents! I was planning to dispose of my bike this spring becuse the vibration I had was NOT just in sixth gear--- it was in all the higher gears whenever the bike was placed into any load (climbing a mild hill or...

Just got the omni-cruise after trying all the you-tube cheapo alternatives with o-rings and cable-ties. I noted your e-mail and others' positive comments, and went ahead and ordered it. Quick question... are you using the included band on your throttle grip? The instructions said that it...

Thanks for clarifying. I plan to order tomorrow. Originally targeted the SMH5-FM for the FM Radio but the overall additional flexibility, battery life, distance. Audio clarity, Etc make the SMH10. Worth the added cost to me. I have a tiny SONY FM/Weather receiver I use when working out. I...

Rob- where did you plug the "earbuds" plug into the stock SMH10 unit? I can not seem to see it on the pictures that are published. Earbud interface/connections appear to only be referenced on the "SMH-A0303- Helmet Clamp Kit - For Earbuds", not on the stock clamp kit.
