Howdy all, I will be performing my 8000 mile maintenance within the month and had a questions about torque and the bolts. In the service manual, it says to ensure all the bolts and nuts are torque according to the chart on 1-15. On the page it has general torque by bolt type and for the...

Howdy all, I went to the shop to get some chems for the chain. I got a chance to hop on the CTX 1300. Felt great with one major problem... the damn handle bar covers the mirrors! I took this pic at my eye level.. I am 5'11". Looks great other than that.

Howdy all, Not sure if this has been hashed out before, but here we go... I read in Cycle World that the Valve Clearance inspection at 8000 miles costs around 500 bucks!!!! Couple that with needing to buy new tires soon and a new chain... I am thinking about doing my own maintenance from...

Howdy all, As stated in the title, can a NC 700x be converted to drive shaft or belt. I am not an engineer and I don't know the potential limitations or if it is impossible. I hate tinkering with the chain but love the bike. D

Howdy guys, Been along time since I have been on the forum... been riding the bike so it is all good. I was greasing the chain today and noticed one tight link! It still is moveable and I gave it a little extra love. Question time... I have 6500 miles, is it safe to keep riding on this...

Howdy all, Someone asked last week if others of the group own Goldwings.... I am curious if others own the Burgman 650? Once I pay off NanCy, I was thinking of a more touring based biked. I have heard the Burgs are great for this, especially at a third of the price. Any thoughts...

Howdy all, Does anyone have a recommendation for an in ear sports headphone (the kind that wraps around you ear) that would work in a helmet? My current headphones (iPhone headphones) fall out and I lose my funky music groovy while riding. I bet JonMckay or OCR could make me something ;) D

Howdy all, I am not sure if this has been discussed before, but I am looking for a battery tender. I want something I can connect to the bike when I am not riding and keep that battery full and happy. I assume that I could also use this tender when and if that battery dies? Any...

Howdy all, I have to take a business trip up to Bakersfield CA tomorrow, and I might have to ride through some light showers. Any recommendations for my ride? Less leaning in the turns? Try to keep the bike more centered underneath? Your help is appreciated. D

Howdy ladies and gents, I am asking Santa for the SW Motech Crash Bar set for xmas. Question... will the 1 inch Kuryakyn Offset Pegs work with them??? I ask because I had problems with the 1.35 Ks for the frame mount. Does anyone have the 1 inch ones installed on their SW Motechs? I need...

Howdy all, I have been thinking about buying the SW Motech Engine Crash Bars so I could add the highway pegs. Anyone have these bars with the pegs? Stretching out on the freeway sounds nice but some advice on the comfort would be nice. D

Howdy all, What is everyone's take on using Lucus fuel treatment with the NC? Good? Bad? Don't know? Keep in mind, I was thinking one or two capfulls to go with our small tanks. Your help is appreciated. D

Howdy all, I know the "which seat is best" discussion has been done to death... but I have a spin for you. Which aftermarket seat is best for lower back support? Long rides drive me nuts, and support for my LBP would be nice. Your help is appreciated. D

Howdy all, As I posted earlier.. I rode almost 1000 miles over two days. I had the time of my life, but my lower back is very angry with me! Anyone know of a backrest for the NC700x? My back will thank you. D

Howdy all, I just completed my first long ride on NanCy. I rode from San Bernardino County, California to Carson City and back.. It was a blast and I learned how to ride even better than before. Flipping amazing!!! I have included a couple pics to show off my journey. John Muir had it...

Howdy everyone, The wife and I are down in New Orleans for a vacation. I wanted to rent a bike and take her for a spin through the Big Easy. However, she is scared of motorcycles and scooters... I found an alternative.. It is basically a 4 wheeled motorcycle.. New Orleans Cruisers LLC -...

Howdy all, Not quite a NC700x topic, but I need a project bike. I want to build a piece of junk up to a high performance machine (or to a high performance piece of junk). I was thinking about a Honda 250 or something similar. I am looking to spend a couple of hundred and would love to get...

Howdy all, I have a questions for our European members. I heard that Cruiser style bikes aren't popular in Europe. Is this true or untrue? Just curious, because they seem to take the lion share of the consumer marketplace in the US. D

Howdy folks, I got my center stand today and I have a silly question.. Is the proper torque settings required for this install? I am pretty good at not busting screws without a torque wrench. Would a guesstimate torque work? D
