My name is Lamar (23) and i bought my first bike (NC700X 2014) in August of last year. At first, my ultimate plan was to purchase a scooter. I just wanted something where i never had to worry about parking. I never used the car we have, because i was always afraid i would come back to an hour of looking for parking. So i never really went anywhere. I was looking into scooters for three reasons. 1.) Cheap 2.) Storage 3.) Easy to ride (No clutch) THEN my best friend ended up getting a cbr300. I couldn’t ride around with him on a scooter, so I started looking at motorcycles. I’m very happy I made that decision. Without a clutch, I didn’t have much of a choice, so I found the CTX700. I went to the dealer to take a look, and there, i was introduced to the NC700X. Fell in love with it. Kept going back to see it, and a couple months later I decided to walk in and buy it. Same day, a guy walked in 5 minutes after I did, and was looking to purchase the same bike. Safe to say it was meant to be.
I love riding it around the city, over the bridges, and avoiding all the bumper to bumper traffic on my way to work, and just on my daily rides. I do have a couple of questions...
1. I’ve recently gotten comfortable having a passenger on the back of my bike. Does the height of the bike need to be adjusted when riding with a passenger? I know some bikes do. For this one, all i ever find is the psi for the tires.
2. The bike is coming close to its 8k mile service. I would like to learn how to do my own work on the bike, what’s the best way to do this with no prior knowledge at all? Should i take it in for this one, and moving forward, learn how to do the work myself?
3. Since I’m new here, is there anywhere I can go to just ask away with any questions I have?
I don’t want to make this too long so i will leave it at that. I look forward to hearing from you guys.
