Thank you. That’s an interesting idea, I haven’t heard that before. The ride went well, and we both had a good time. Luckily we got the best weather we’ve had in weeks! She was squirming and moving around a bit, though I had instructed her to keep still, which was unsettling. I will remind...

Can someone please tell me how to get these pictures right side up?

Here is the only picture I have from behind.

I have the Givi V35 Monokey bags. I like them a lot, and I think they look quite good on the bike. I didn’t have to replace the grab handles or anything. They are easy to put on and take off, and the brackets by themselves are not obtrusive. Sorry about the photo- I don’t know how to get it...

I just go to my dealer where I bought my bike(s). They treat me very well, and I don’t mind paying a little extra to support them.

Thank you Thank you to everyone who for the posts and advice. Much appreciated!

I have agreed to take a woman I met for a ride this weekend, at her request. I am feeling kind of nervous about it, because I haven’t ridden with a passenger in 35 years ( I just got back into riding again 3 years ago). How does the NC handle with a passenger? Any tips would be appreciated...

I bought the Honda centre stand when I bought my bike. The cost was $250 Cdn. installed.

. Thank you!

What tires are you using?

My bar ends were hitting the shield slightly after I installed it, when the handlebars were fully turned, so I adjusted them downwards. I also added some small bar raiser spacers (I can’t remember what they’re called), trying to find a more comfortable riding position. It worked well - I now...

The other day I was sitting outside Starbucks on Brant St in Burlington when a young guy rode up on his new cbr300r with his girlfriend on the back. I struck up a conversation. He said he got his motorcycle licence 2 weeks ago. I noticed they were both wearing running shoes, he had jeans on, and...

This is probably the wrong thread to post this in, but I wonder why Honda isn’t offering DCT in some of the smaller displacement bikes to attract new riders? I would guess that learning to use the clutch and gears is a big barrier for many new riders who might otherwise take up motorcycling...

Great, thanks!

Why does the chain have different slack at different points in the chain? I re-adjusted mine today, and it drove me crazy because I would get different measurements at different places on the chain.

What do you use that, or the broom handle for?

Thank you potter. I have ordered the Motionpro alignment tool from Fortnine. Is there a trick to getting the metal brackets on the ends of the swingarms to snug up?

Thank you. I adjusted the chain 2 days ago, but I have yet to buy a torque wrench. I used a 27 mm combo wrench from Canadian Tire to tighten the axle nut. I will get a torque wrench to check it.

That looks nice, thank you.

Do I need to use a torque wrench when tightening the rear axle nuts? Also, do I need to loosen both the left and right nuts to adjust the chain tension? (the manual seems to indicate you only need to loosen the right nut). Thank you.
