Any electrical accessories should be routed through a 4-pole relay so it gets turned OFF when the ignition is turned OFF. It's simple to do but most people skirt around it.

The CB500 series of engines (F, X, and R) were made to fit under the Euro A2 licensing rules so HP is capped at a little below 50 HP. It is essentially a 2-cylinder sport bike engine that has been detuned but it still likes to rev like crazy. As regards the DCT, it does take some "adjustment"...

Typically, breakaway torque (loosening) is much higher than the tightening torque applied originally.

My NC is For Sale and I bought a used CB500F last winter and have put around 8k miles on it. Someone asked me to compare the two so here goes. The NC has a ton of torque compared to the CB500 and with the latter I had to relearn how to downshift! The CB will RPM like crazy where the NC feels...

They are 6 mm bolts going into aluminum so it should be around 7 ft-lbs. If you go much higher, you risk stripping the threads in the case!

I will sent you a PM on this website.

...Michelin fronts typically last around 13-14k miles and the rears 10-11k miles. Of course, it all depends on how you ride!

I tried a Seat Concepts Low Seat and it was about as forgiving as a piece of mahogany! I have an extra seat Sargent seat but it makes it feel taller because it's wider in the front. I had the standard seat modified by a guy in FL who has since retired. He replaced the stock too soft foam...

It's actually closer than 135 miles because I live south of the City of Troy and closer to Tipp City. On Goggle Maps, it is 110 miles from my house to Post Road/I-70 on the west side of Indy. It has Soupy's Adjustable Links and currently they are adjusted for a 1-inch drop but can go further...

...or you can reduce the length of the spring spacer by 1/2-5/8" to retain the same ride height.

Yes, it's still available. Later today, I can take some pics for you. Anything in particular you want to see more closely?

40k miles, extras include crash guards, Stebel horn, 33 litre Givi side boxes, front & rear Cogent suspension, Michelin tires, Soupy's lowering links, etc. $3000 no trades. Located in Troy, OH

I need a rear brake caliper for a 2013 NC700XD.

I love the hinged rack that swings up to allow access to the fuel cap. And the width of that rack is HUMONGOUS!

It was a great 1st race of the season with an unexpected winner from a small team. I won't spoil it for those who haven't watched it!
