2016: What did you do to/with your NC700 today?

Expensive Learning Experience

He upgraded again to a DCT version of NC700.

That's a round about way to get a new version of a new bike.
Smart decision!
ENJOY!

ALSO: Dave since you sold your Sargent Seat, what kind, BRAND, of seat are you using on you new NC700 bike?

 

[670cc]

Dave, is that you on that NC700X. I thought that you had traded it in for a Triumph for a deal you couldn't turn down?
Or is this just an OLD picture of Steve and you? Don't you ride the Triumph on forest outings?
Is that Steve on the white Beemer?

Here's some catch up reading for you, Pismo: http://nc700-forum.com/forum/nc700-general-discussion/9955-dct-abs-model-review.html

670cc,
Thanks for the attached reads so that I can catch up on what's been happening.
Last year my wife had some unexpected health problems and spent about 8 weeks in two different hospitals. I fell behind on my reads of the Forum.
She's much improved now and our lives are returning more to normal.
So I'll try to stay current.

Sorry to hear that, but I'm glad the situation is improving. I hope your wife recovers.

As soon as I got the 2015 I bought another Sargent seat. With the experience I had on the 2012 I knew some of the things I wanted right away. Seat, suspension, windshield, etc.

Last winter my wife had a similar experience....two hospitals, nine weeks, three in ICU. Miracles walk among us!

Broke my coldest riding record this morning. It use to be 14F, now it is 9F. Took about 10 seconds of cranking for the engine to start. 6.5 miles, highest speed was 69mph, about 10 min. ride to work.

My bike was covered with ice after my commute home. I tried to attach a pic, but it would not post right side up, no matter what I tried.

Send to me or post here, I fleep it

An ice bike deserves being seen

 

[rippin209]

Wow that's crazy cold, I'm in central California the coldest I've ridden is the high 20's for a hour long ride to work and I've got heated grips, it was hours before I was thawed out

 

[rippin209]

Turbo you can see the ice in your pic, it just looks like a bad tint job at first glance

:BRRRRRRRRR:

No cold riding for me but I did receive my new tires and chain!

On Thursday, January 21st, I did a 160 mile ride loop in SW Idaho. The temperature was in the low 40s, but with little to no sun and 20 mph winds, it was still rather cold. I would like to get some heated gloves or heated grips, though (preferably both.)

I only averaged about 55 mpg on this ride, but with the winds and fairly high speeds (65 mph most of the way and 80 mph for the last 40 miles or so), that's probably not unexpected.

All in all, it was a good ride.

 

[drdubb]

My mileage really drops over 55mph.

I love my heated gear. Wish I'd gone that route many moons ago.

 

[rippin209]

Got my tutoro oiler on Tuesday and my tusk riser on Wednesday, just put them on today

Nice.
So when it is sitting it does not flow I guess. The valve works on "bumps"?
I have read some things online but have not found what is a "normal" rate of oil usage. cc per hour? (normal paved roads)

 

[turbodieseli4i6]

The Tutoro is one of my favorite additions to my NCX. It only flows when moving and you can control the flow rate to suit your needs.
It's stupid simple to use. (Which is needed for me.)
The ice covered NCX pic proves the stupid part, because I didn't check the weather forecast before I left for work that morning.
I have a feeling that my guardian angel will be kicking my butt when I get to heaven.

 

[rippin209]

The picture above shows the bracket to far forward. I installed the bracket to far from the fork where the oil comes out, gave it to much wiggle room. Worked going forward but backing the bike up after parking messed up the position. Had to move the bracket almost 2" back. Works perfect now

I have a Tutoro also. It is an excellent piece of kit. It seems to always meter just the correct amount of oil, whereas the Scottoiler I had previously used on one of my KTM's always made a mess.
