What is your NC700x bad habit??

Mine has a bad habit of passing traffic[emoji11]

Not riding it enough, lol

But truthfully, I would say keeping the revs way too high, so I can hear the wonderful deep bass of the DanMoto exhaust on the over run, even though I know it's killing my mpg's, and the muffler is much louder than it should be...

I am more than likely going to be trying to stuff some extra sound deadening material in it, or tweaking the baffle a bit attempting to tone it down this summer, so I'm thinking of my present (bad) riding habit as only a temporary aberrance. :whistles innocently:

Tapping the turn signal button instead of the horn. On my last bike the switches were reversed.

Forgetting to close the Frunk. It open on me once on the highway. Felt like a squirrel landed in my lap.

I have left it unlocked many times.... I hate when it opens up on the freeway.
also, I forget to turn on the key sometimes too.

going for the clutch and gears when its a DCT!
need to put my grey matter gear not the bike!

Leaving the key in the Top Box latch and then looking all over for the key.

Every once in a while, on my ride to work, the NCX tries to coax me into calling in and riding all night (I work nights). :O

Another looking for 7th Gear, it just feels like it should be there.

That is why I changed out my rear sprocket to a 39 tooth sprocket. 7th Gear!

Saying to heck with washing it, I want to ride.

12K miles on mine and its never seen soap. I'm not sure if I am proud of that or not?

Mine is more evil. She lets me get to work then starts calling me "Ride me! C'mon, you know you want to."

my bad habit is to ride it like I stole it

I have a number of bad habbits. Let me list them:

I've left the frunk open a number of times, it's a surprising thunk to the gut when it springs open at 40 MPH
I've left the key on the frunk keyhole, and walked away. Not a big deal, until you realize that it's on a crowded manhattan street!
I am CONSTANTLY fishing for a 7th gear. I think the gearing could use some work on this bike.
I always ride it like a stole it
I have never washed the bike. Over a year, and 14k miles, never washed it. I maintain the chain, and that requires a bit of cleaning, but that's all it gets.

 

[SergeantChuck]

It's wierd to me that several people have made the comment about a 7th gear. I find myself leaving it in 5th every so often. I guess I'm jsut used to the higher revs.

 

[marotajo]

Reading this forum at work when I should be working!

 

[ziggie]

Agree,it runs better in 5th,I'm always going in 6th,then dropping back to 5.just seem to like it better there.

My bad habbit with this bike is riding like its a sports bike,under the excuse "its does such good miles per gallon" ,so it can,t hurt so go a little faster...Well it can hurt if the cops catch me,,but not too bad in the wallet department ....Great fun though!!!....

My bad habit is thinking this is really an adventure bike and going a bit off road trail riding with the original tires and then finding out it really isn't a GS. Sorry. My honest view.
She is however still a great bike on road!
