Just got a 2012 NC700X just under 3000 miles. All stock no upgrades on it yet. I am going to fix some of the stock parts that are slightly damaged, get a taller windscreen and maybe change the headlights to LED's. (and get crash bars/cage, most likely from the guy in Russia)
My question is, as a primarily street rider but hopefully occasional dirt rider, what should my order of upgrades be?
Also I was wondering from some of you long time owners, what kind of trails can I expect to be able to ride without having to be a pro X-Games rider? Just gravel and smooth dirt roads? If it helps I live in Maine, just outside of Lewiston/Auburn but plan on taking the bike up to a camp in Aroostook which will require me to take it down some camp roads and probably logging roads. I know it's probably asking much, but I want a bike that I can take for long cruises or just around town but is also capable of tackling some terrain when I decide to do so for camping trips. Maybe Shinko 705 tires are my best bet?
TL;DR I just got a stock 2012 NC700x, what should my order of modifications be other than taller windscreen and LED lights? (also pretty sure I already have an O-ring chain so can check that off the list.)
