Hi everyone! So I recently bought a 18" front wheel for the NC700X and now I need to figure out what tire to put on it. It is a tubeless compatible 18x2.15 cast aluminum wheel with all the appropriate adaptors. It has a 100/90-18 tire on it right now which the seller said was the biggest...

My steering range seems to have shifted I used to be able to just make the hand guards touch the windscreen on both sides, now the left hand guard hits the screen turning right before there is any resistance, but I seem to hit a fairly hard stop well before what used to be full lock to the...

Hey guys, just thought I would let you all know that A chain and sprocket kit from a CBR500R (and presumably all of the CB 500 family) fit the manual transmission NC700X without issue. I bought a whole kit on e-bay with chain, sprockets, and drive hub complete with the cush drive bumpers off...

Hi Everyone My chain and sprockets are getting worn enough that I can replace them without any remorse and figure this would be a perfect time to play with the gearing. For reference the stock configuration is 16-43 I primarily use my bike for commuting, with ~1000 km round trips once or...

Today after work I am riding my friend's place in the Narrow Hills from La Ronge. It's raining and the cut across is washed out after the Wapaweka turn. Long story short: I have 175km of potentially sloppy soft gravel between where I am and where I am going. There is no cell coverage and...

Hey guys. I was talking to my parents and found out they are going to their cabin in BC right after my cousin's wedding. I booked the wedding and the rest of my shift off and it looks like it will work out for me to go out with them, spend a couple days at the cabin (I have not been to the land...

I don't currently have tools and need to put my new tires on. I called the shop to see how much it would cost to get the new rubber put on the rims with the wheels already off the bike and was told $77.50 + tax. Over $80 to mount two tires seems pretty excessive. Especially since getting four...

I bought my bike in the fall with a bit under 14000 km on the odo, The stock Metzlers looked OK but now at 16500 km the middle of the rear tire is just about down to the wear marks. I am a new rider and most of my riding has been commuting to work (6km, mostly pavement, some gravel) and trips...

Hi guys. I was wondering what you guys do to deal with bugs when you ride. I recently did a 800km round trip and since it's spring in Saskatchewan the bugs were out. I didn't bring anything with me to clean my helmet visor on the ride and by the time I made it to Prince Albert (240km) I could...

Yesterday I installed some acerbis vision LED handguards. I wanted the extra visibility of the lights being high and far apart, but did not want them to mask my turn signal. I wired them up to the front marker lights so they would turn off when signaling to make sure the signal could be seen...

Hi Guys. I am wondering how many of you guys use one piece riding suits on a regular basis and if you were to have one set of protective gear you you go one-piece or a jacket and pant combo. The reason I ask is that I bought a bike right before the snow flew, got my learners, rode it to town...

Hi Guys. My name is Eric, I'm a Wildland Firefighter from Saskatchewan and had been tooling around with getting a bike for quite a while. 3 weeks ago I went and purchased a 2012 NC700XA that I had been watching on Kijiji. Getting a learners licence took a bit longer than I was hoping but I...
