A few people have been scammed on the site, Only use paypal to pay for items for sale by other members. If they will not use paypal, its likely a scam NEVER SEND E-TRANSFERS OF ANY KIND.
I had a clip-on for a while (in addition to a Moose Racing +9" tall windscreen). My impression was that the clip-on did not really deflect "move" a whole lot of air upwards, but the true benefit was that it acted as a spoiler to break up the smooth airflow coming off the top of the sharp edge of...
The photo is 2.5 MB. That is not unreasonable for a photo post. I hate it when online software re-compresses or downsamples images, to the point that they are horribly blurry. Facebook is a big offender. Sorry your Internet is so slow, that is probably frustrating to deal with.
Battery swap today. The old Yuasa (MotoCross-branded) was 5 years old and losing capacity rapidly. I have killed that battery several times and re-charged from dead (< 10 volts), so it is actually pretty great that it lasted this long.
I decided to do an experiment and try the cheaper Mighty...
Those are the R-Gaza engine bars (the smaller ones), that are talked about very positively here. Might be hard to find new right now as the seller is from Russia.
I think you did great. As others have commented, I may have given a little wave, but I also would have been very startled with someone coming that close to me.
When he got in front of you and shook his head, I would have probably given a big exaggerated shrug. ("IDK man??"). Like I said, I...
I have not either, but it comes up enough on here (and elsewhere) that I've pre-ordered a full set of bearings and seals to do when the time comes. That being said, checking bearings is not something that immediately comes to mind when inspecting a bike.
Hi NovaGeeze,
Welcome to the forum, and it is exciting to hear that you are considering the NC. I have a 2013 NC700X and I absolutely love it. I bought it in 2018 with about 6500 miles, and now have almost 14,000 on it over four years.
Now that I am not replying from my phone, a few more...
Thanks for sharing your oops. When I was learning, my friend let me borrow his learner/loaner bike for practice. An old Honda CM200. I was showing it off to friends, didn't realize it was in gear, and hit the starter (not sitting on the bike). The bike took off, smashed into a mailbox, and fell...
Another possibility is that the oil filler / dipstick cap could be not on tight, or cross-threaded. I even managed to cross-thread it once, and wondered why I was getting oil on my leg while riding.
Overall my concern about that finding would be very minimal.
I think this will be my last day riding to work for the year (in December, not bad!).
Today is relatively nice with a high of 38 F. Streets this week have been clear of frost, snow, and most importantly salt. But unfortunately big snowfall overnight tonight will likely stick around longer term.
