I got 14,000 miles from the factory Chain on my 2012 NC700. Replaced the chain with a DID 520 VX2, and the high quality sprockets from sprocket Center. With 16,000 miles on this chain, it's time for replacement (I have several kinks in the chain, which makes it impossible to properly adjust...

I purchased a Honda 4 year Extended Warranty Policy the day before I had my NC700 for a year. At the time, a salesman tried to sell me a Non-Honda Extended Warranty Policy. I insisted on the Honda Policy. A little over a year after I bought the Honda extended warranty policy, I noticed a small...

I’m replacing my Michelin Pilot 4 Road with another Michelin Pilot 4 Road tomorrow. I’ve been very pleased with the tire. After just a few thousand miles on the tire, I got a flat and plugged it. The plugged worked great until recently, where it’s starting to leak a bit (I confirmed this by...

I chatted with a Japanese NC700 owner on Facebook the other day. He has over 180,000 kilometers (110,000 miles) on his NC700. Besides normal maintenance items as found in the owner's manual. The only thing he has replaced/repaired are front wheel bearings and a turn signal switch.

Just thought, I would create a thread for those who have over 20,000 miles on their Honda NC700, and would like to report their thoughts about the bike. As for myself, it does exactly what I expected of it. The only minor complaint that I have is that the original chain only lasted 13,500 miles...

I've noticed that Beemerphile has been gone from this site for several months. I really miss his input. He was a person, You could pretty much count on being right, and the few times when he wasn't, he would admit it. I really valued his knowledge, comments, and opinions.

I have several feeler gauge sets, but none of them have all the ranges that are possible when adjusting the tappets. Especially if You wish to adjust the tappets in the middle of the range. Thanks.

After several times getting charged over the suggested retail price for factory motorcycle parts, I'm looking at buying online. Does anyone have any suggestions of some online stores? Has anyone done any business with Discount Parts for Honda Kawasaki Suzuki Yamaha Polaris BRP ? Thanks.

I thought somewhere at this site, Beemerphile had a really good tutorial about the process of replacing the chain and sprockets of the NC700. But I can't find it. Does anyone know where it may be? Or, is there a site that has a good turorial for this process? Thanks.

What repairs and/or replacement have You made on your NC700? Looks like I'll be putting 12,000-15,000 miles on my bike every year, so I'm wondering what may have to be replaced or repaired that is not scheduled in the Owner's Manual. Specifically but not inclusive; Brake Shoes Chain...

I got more mileage out of the original tire then I thought I would. Replaced it with the Michelin Pilot Road 4 tire. I hope to get close to 15,000 miles on that tire, but who knows.

Seems like the original motorcycle chain we have on our bikes, wears out quicker then we would have expected it to. I was hoping of getting 20,000 miles from my chain, but shows signs of needing replacement at only 8,000 miles. I have a buddy who has several motorcycles and he gets over 30,000...

Where can one find a Feeler Gauge Set that has the Blade sizes necessary for checking and adjusting the valve tappets on our bikes. Also a parts guy mentioned if You can't find the blade size, you can add two blades to equal the size You need. Does this work? Thanks for any suggestions.

Does anyone have any recommendations for chains, and sprockets for our bike? Also costs, and labor costs to have them installed. Thanks.

Something really strange happened today. I went on a ride, and about 70 miles out, I had a car driver point to my rear tire, saying it's low, and I should look at it. I pulled off the road, and checked the tire pressure and it was 15 psi. I inflated the tire to 46 psi and started looking for...

I highly recommend the Freeze-Out Neck Guard. If You don't have something already to protect your neck and chin from the wind, then this is the product to get at the sales price. Through this month it's $7.00 at Cycle Gear. It really helped me out when I used it on my 1,000 mile Saddlesore...

Weather and other circumstances permitting, I am planning on a 1034 mile ride taking less then 24 hours to complete, and getting a certificate from the Iron Butt Associtation for doing so. I plan on leaving around 11pm Friday (April 26) or perhaps the next day. I'm starting in Phoenix, heading...

Posted below is a paragraph from a Honda Motorycle Dealership's Website. Looks like it's going to be harder to negotiate a price on a New Honda Motorcycle in the future. IMPORTANT CONSUMER ANNOUNCEMENT: Effective April 1, 2013, a revised Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) policy will go into...

I'm just curious what's the most amount of gasoline You have put in your NC700X gas tank in a single filling. Just wondering how close one has come to the capacity of the gas tank. The most I have put in so far has been 3.43 gallons, this is after riding about 35 miles on reserve (about...
