Plugged in my 5amp battery tender pro. Still read 80% plus charge after 4 months of storage. I have 5 motorcycles in my garage right now (storing for friends) and I forgot to rotate the charger to my motorcycle. I cycle through each bike once a week. Takes 5 weeks to get to all of them. All...

I do the 8000 miles as that is what I rode roughly in 1 year. But since having a kid, that's down to 2500 miles a year. So now I go 2 years and come out to about 5000 miles on the oil and filter. I have a 2012 nc700x DCT which actually has 2 oil filters. I have a 2016 honda accord that has...

Finally, finally done. Spent all went and some of April completing this project, mainly due to lack of time to work on the NC. I parked the motorcycle with a bit over 16,500 miles in October 2016 with the idea of replacing drive components over the winter. All parts were OEM original from...

My first GoPro video ever. Gave it a shot. And was told to check out Vimeo vids instead of youtube. Interesting site! Here it is: https://vimeo.com/163747264 or embedded if the one or the other doesn't work. https://vimeo.com/163747264

I second this. I lowered mine with some British company 40mm lowering links 3 years ago, front forks lowered 3/4th an inch. I replaced the kick stand with a sloppys adjustable, I inadvertently bought the 700s version of the center stand, and that mistake turned out to work great on my now...

I rolled over 13,500 miles on my 2012 NC700X and besides a seat, windshield, handle bar riser mod I've done little else besides a couple oil changes, and a valve adjustment at 10,000. Well this winter I decided it was time for a major overhaul. On the list is the following: -New F/R tires...

I was just in a group ride with Harley's, inline 4s, and single 250s. They all where in wonder on how smooth I was at take off, and low speed operations. I cannot go back to manual. Now all I want is shaft drive.

It was complete. It came with the locking bolt, twin spring setup, and long shaft/bolt. Everything you need to attach the center stand. Shipping will take a while as it comes out of Japan.

It's shaft drive!!! I want this. I looked at the Crosstourer in Europe with envy every time. I'll wait for a second hand one as I got my NC700x setup how I like it. Maybe late 2016, early 2017 winter I'll pick one up and trade in the nc700x. Shaft drive and DCT. All I wanted. Now its...

I've got thick riding jackets and gloves and a fully closeable helmet, waterproof, windproof insulated riding pants and thick warm riding boots and a winter scarab gauntlet. I also have a very large windshield on my nc700. With all of that I can stand about 15 minutes of riding in below 45F...

Hello. Felt like posting an update to the general masses. I have a 2012 NC700X DCT. I just rolled past 13,000 on the odo. I've had the original chain and sprockets since new. Noticed today when I got to work some of the links are no longer laying flat in a row. Kinks as I think they...

$2.55 far south suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, USA I've seen $3.00/gallon in the city.

I'm just here to say that's my photo from the Chicago Motorcycle Show! HA! I take it a google search rendered your results? To the OP: I have no idea what went wrong. First I have heard of this issue, Keep in touch with Honda of America. To everyone else: I object to ever hitting the kill...

I can answer a part of this question. I own a Sargent DTX seat. I went with DTX due to it being much more "grippy" than the carbonFX. I hated sliding on the OEM Seat. You don't move on the DTX. Paired with my motorcycle armored riding pants it is a perfect match for me. Helps me maintain...

Yes that is the one. Work with it slowly and carefully. It will come out and you can remove it.
