Finally, finally done. Spent all went and some of April completing this project, mainly due to lack of time to work on the NC. I parked the motorcycle with a bit over 16,500 miles in October 2016 with the idea of replacing drive components over the winter. All parts were OEM original from...

My first GoPro video ever. Gave it a shot. And was told to check out Vimeo vids instead of youtube. Interesting site! Here it is: https://vimeo.com/163747264 or embedded if the one or the other doesn't work. https://vimeo.com/163747264

I rolled over 13,500 miles on my 2012 NC700X and besides a seat, windshield, handle bar riser mod I've done little else besides a couple oil changes, and a valve adjustment at 10,000. Well this winter I decided it was time for a major overhaul. On the list is the following: -New F/R tires...

Hello. Felt like posting an update to the general masses. I have a 2012 NC700X DCT. I just rolled past 13,000 on the odo. I've had the original chain and sprockets since new. Noticed today when I got to work some of the links are no longer laying flat in a row. Kinks as I think they...

Well I did it. First, I won my first ever ebay bid. Secondly, I installed them tonight. Install was pretty easy. The hardest part was freeing up the rubber grommet on the brake line that is present on the ABS version of the NC700X. I ended up slicing it off very carefully. All the other...

I'd like to lower the pegs, and if possible, wider for a more comfortable footing. I won't be off-roading. Wider, lower, and more forward would be best. I'm trying to straighten out the knee bend. I ride long miles sometimes. I'm not a road racer. I don't lean as much as possible, and have...

The weather was very nice on March 14th in the far South Chicagoland suburbs. I decided to ready my motos. I followed the How to written by Antarius in the how to section. Very well written with photos. The hardest part is removing the radiator and all that clips to it in the back. My...

Yesterday (3/18/2014), I managed to get home from work with the sun still up and air temp above 50F, my riding limit. Pulled the battery tender off the X and wheeled it on to the driveway. I checked the tires air pressure, after 5 months of storage the front was 23PSI and the rear was 33PSI...

Got this email today: Sargent Cycle Products - In Development Sargent cycle products said they are in development of a NC700X seat/saddle. This kinda throws a wrench in the works for me. I was all set on a Russle Day Long saddle, both rider and pillion. Now I'm curious if I...

This was on a news feed: Micheline Pilot Road 4's announced for 2014 No reviews yet.

I "liked" their facebook page a while ago, today they had a fire sale on the X1Slims for the first 20 that responded to a post. I just bought 2 for $215 each. Hope this was a good deal. Been looking for almost a year now for good communication system for my girl and I. This system says...

We don't have all the facts yet, as the investigation is ongoing, but what is reported that a SUV hit a motorcycle that brake checked the SUV. Pulled over to stop, and then was attacked by bikers, knifing tires on the SUV. The video explains the rest. These are not motorcyclists, they are...

Just ran across this: http://ultimatemotorcycling.com/2014-honda-ctx700-motorcycle-recall-due-to-abs-malfunction "Honda has recalled 235 of its 2014 CTX700 Motorcycles manufactured from March 6, 2013 through April 11, 2013 due to possible ABS issues." - ultimatemotercycling.com Don't have...

LINK: Vololights: Enhanced Motorcycle Visibility by Vectolabs, LLC Kickstarter Think its worth it? I understand the concept, and have wondered about this situation myself. I apply light braking even when engine braking (not much on a DCT model) just so my rear brake light will illuminate...

I have been heavily researching exhausts (slip-ons) for the the NC. I want it a bit louder and some more "throaty" sound instead of the sewing machine noises from the valves. What I have discovered is all the major exhaust manufactures state repacking exhausts every 7,000-10,000 miles! For...

I was curious of what these spark plugs sell for, and per the manual, the NGK IFG6k -11 Spark plug does not exist on NGK's website and parts list. Fantastic. Anyone know what and where to get the plugs? *the part number might be wrong, as I am going from memory... but I searched the...

Indy Car, F1, and Sprint Cup! I need a DVR... Couldn't watch everything. Hope more races line up in such a way! I've got the schedule of all three posted on the fridge!

I am planning a lot of highway mile trips this summer. I WILL encounter lots of road debris and small rocks. Is their a precut plastic film protector for the headlight yet? Right now I have custom cut some universal film on the headlight, but after 2 hours of measuring, test fitting, cutting...
