    NC7 Alumni : What have you been up to since your NC7 is now gone?

    Dear all, I am starting this post for all the ex-owners of the NC7 machine. We shared the same history of owning this beautiful machine but have since moved on to another machine. I think it will be a great thing to keep in touch and post pictures of our biking life here without disrupting the...

    Hey guys, Many of you already know what happened to my bike recently. Timing chain assembly is totally new. All fluids changed. Brand new battery installed. Now why is it when the engine is hot (say after running 50km or more), and I switch it off at a train crossing and then immediately try...

    I have destroyed my engine (really)

    Hello guys, I am not finding an excuse to sell my NC700x. The engine seems busted. It can rev but it is (how to describe this?) ...out of breath and out of power. It is like something is broken inside or loss of compression or worse, one piston is broken or seals are broken etc. Sorry I am...

    Hi guys I found this while browsing....this is in no way any kind of marketing or endorsement of the featured bike. It is more for the bike handling tips. https://youtu.be/YXFXHvYwexA Sent from my LG-D955 using Tapatalk

    DAMMIT, I broke the motor of the NC700X

    Hi guys Today I made the dreaded trip to the Honda shop to 1. view the AT 2. get a new battery 3. ask how much he will give me for the NC700X. And the dealer...(he is a star mechanic allegedly from his past) said something totally out of my scope. He said, while the engine was idling, that...

    New acquisition, what would you choose?

    Hello guys, I know that I have been away for a long time but I have good reasons. You see, I was out of work for a long time and then last year I chanced on a job which took all my time away (including motoring my NC7X). I have been watching the market for a new bike to replace (ok ok don't...

    Who will lend out your motorcycle in a heart beat? Really who?

    Recently I have made a request to my biker friends, that I would like to borrow or rent a motorcycle from them because I have a visitor at my home, and we would fancy a half-day ride to the mountains. I know motorcycles are a priced personal possession and some even would rank it as high as a...

    New tires fitted: Metzeler Tourance NEXT (same sizes as stated in manual)

    They seem to hold the curves very well. Who says you need a new bike? Or a GS? Just install these and you will have that "new GS" feeling. I am not kidding.

    Urgent question: Front wheel axle with a groove?

    Hi All I have an urgent question about the front wheel axle installation. After installing new tires (by a wheel shop), and coming home and a wash, I discovered a small groove on the right side (nearest to fork) as show. This is about 3mm or 4mm "outside" the front-fork hole. My question is...
