Hello everyone!
So I am at wits end with my NC700x I have a huge gas mileage decrease can anyone maybe give me any reasons why this is happening?
So a bought a 2013 NC700x used with a nice aftermarket muffler on it and even hand warmers!
I bought it for a fantastic price but mainly because the mileage was around 20,000 :-/ despite the high mileage it still ran amazingly and sounded awesome!
I was invited to do a little bit of off-road venturing so bought new tires and hit the trails for a weekend. I may have went a bit overboard and decided to do a river cross and got soaked, but Id like to point out I made it across and didn't drop it once on the trip. the bike still continued to run great until a few months later I moved down to Florida from Maryland.
I haven't done more then 400 miles when the problems started. First I took care of my chain (expected its old and has ran on the same chain 20g+)
Almost a week later the battery started going to shit. eventually It just wouldn't hold a charge for more then 5 minutes. I quickly took it to the same shop who worked on my chain and at a light I made the dumb decision to try to keep the engine running by over revving the engine (I'd like to point out I am a new rider and stupid)
well once the overheating took effect fluid started draining out the drainage hose so I shut it off and towed it to the place.
So they told me I needed a new stator ( I figured that much) I paid out the *** for a new stator because it was out of warranty and they implored me to buy factory stock.
**at this point is when I started getting ticked off.**
ever since I got my bike back it is extremely quiet (the muffler barely pushes air out), The rpm's in 5th gear will not go above 4,000 rpms!!, its gas mileage is now barely getting over 50mpg and finally It will top out at barely 90mph X-(
Ive done the following in effort to improve performance with zero effect, I replaced spark plugs, I cleaned and checked air filter, and I even brought it back to them to run diagnostics and check electrical all tests came back normal and they told me that 50mpg is great and it doesn't go fast because it is a 700cc and that is expected with age.......I tend to believe that sounds like a bunch of bull.
Please any suggestions you have for me to resolve this would be greatly appreciated! I'm very close to buying a manual and learning how to rewire my complete system!!
