    Down and out for a while.

    I was riding home last week and got hit. I wanted to change lanes, so I checked my mirror, turned on my signal, started to come over and BAM some woman in an SUV sped up to prevent me from coming over. Cost me a trip to the hospital and my bike. Luckily I only got a sprained ankle and some road...

    Do all Riding Jeans run really small???

    I wanted to buy some riding jeans with the armor in the knee. I went to CycleGear and tried on several pair. I heard that riding jeans run small so I was expecting to have to get a bigger size but this was ridiculous!!! Normally I wear a 38X30 in jeans, so I tried a pair on. I couldn't even get...

    How to remove chain lube from a tire?

    Got my bike out of storage. I had cleaned and lubed the chain a week before. As soon as I turned out of the driveway on to a clear dry street, the back tire had no grip and I low sided. I always wear a jacket, gloves, boots and helmet so i wasn't hurt. After collecting my wits and my pride. I...

    How NOT to do Post-Winter Maintenance!!!

    I probably should be posting this in THE BAR (comedy) section of this forum but here goes. I never would have believed that getting my bike ready for summer would have been such a pain. Working in a storage space dimly lit but I had a flashlight. I had three tasks. Re-install the battery...

    Winter storage question.

    Last year I stored my brand new 2016 at the dealership. Storage was $300 for Sep to Apr but if you had over $300 worth of work, storage was free. I had them do the first 600 mile checkup and change out the grips, so storage was free. This year I haven't even put 3,000 miles on the bike, mostly...

    Anyone know pin-out of the 6P Option port???

    I'm looking to add a couple of accessories to my bike. The thing is that I don't want to spend a bunch of money on OEM stuff when non-OEM can be had for about half the price. Example: a Honda USB port, $90 for everything; non-OEM version $28 if you can figure out how to get it installed. I...

    Took the ARC, looking for track days.

    I recently took the MSF Advanced Rider course on my 2016 NC700X. They asked if I'd be interested in becoming an instructor for the basic class. Told them I'd think about it but first I want to do a couple of track days to further improve my skills. I've looked into a couple of tracks here in IL...

    City sticker/tag - Rant.

    Went to city hall to get my city sticker for my car and my wifes. She asked the clerk about one for my bike. I had forgotten all about it, since its still practically new. Had to come back because I haven't memorized my bike's plate number. I come back and fill out the same form for cars. As...

    Suggestions for new tires?

    Looking for recommendations for new tires. I've been doing research but most of the information I find is out of date. Making a direct comparison is not easy. Right now I'm riding a 2016 NC700X on stock Dunlop Trailmax D609. They totally suck on gravel. Almost dumped my bike twice, felt like I...

    Murphy's Law - As soon as you put your bike away!

    The weather in Chicago has been bad for the past few weeks - cold and rainy. Couldn't get in much ride time and it was time for my 600 mile service. My local dealer had already started taking bikes in for winter storage (Oct 15 - Apr 15) for $300 but if you $300 worth of work done storage is...

    Daytona Multi Wing Carrier install instructions

    I received my Daytona Multi Wing Carrier and, as stated in the listing, the installation instructions were in Japanese. Needless to say neither Bing nor Google Translate were very much help. Through other means I was finally able to fully translate them to English but they were inadequate. Here...

    Installing an alarm???

    Hey, Anyone know how to install an alarm on the 2016 NC700X? Can someone put up or point me to a YouTube video showing how do it? Or should I strictly leave it to the professionals? I've watched a couple of videos on installing alarms on other brands/models (none on the NC700X) and it...

    Hi from Westchester, IL

    Got my 2016 NC700X ABS DCT. :D Had to go out of state to Indiana to get mine. :mad: Don't know why there were no 16's anywhere near Chicago but I found one anyway. Been an owner for less than a month and already dumped the bike. Gotta have the brake lever and a foot peg replaced next week...
