Hey all, just picked up my Olympia Avenger 1 piece mesh suit from Revzilla. It costs about $350. It is a partial mesh suit with elbow, shoulder, back, and knee pads. Zips up both legs and one for the front of course. I bought the high viz model, and let me tell you, it is very high viz. The suit...

Hey all, I tried doing a search and came up with nothing. I have a 50 mile (each way) commute and noticed something odd. About a month ago I was at the end of my commute in the early morning and the engine sputtered a few times. It was about 50 F outside and the engine was definitely warmed up...

I know this doesn't count as touring, but it seemed like the most appropriate place to post this. I was just thinking today about how lucky I am. I don't think I could ask for a better commute then I currently have. I could ask for a shorter one, but only if I am being picky. I get city riding...

Hey All, just trying to narrow down a small vibration and figured I'd reach out for help. I have been noticing a small vibration at 4k RPM. I have searched the forum, and I do know there are already threads talking about the 4k and the 3k vibrations/throbs. However, those threads became very...

Why hasn't the Honda NC700x been compared (professionally) to the Aprilia Mana GT 850? I am literally scratching my head as I type (very talented I know). The Mana is closer to what the Honda is than any other bike it's been compared to. The Mana has a frunk, rear fuel tank, same rider...

I noticed two gaps that I previously did not. Curious if someone can take a look at their bike and let me know. The first pic shows the left fork tube. The gap that the flat head is in is not present on the other side. The fork tube was replaced under warranty by the dealer. The second pic shows...

Got a flat going over highway 17. It was about 5 in the morning and every turn was getting harder to maintain lane position. Slowed and pulled over at the summit. 12 psi left! The plug I put in when new finally had enough. Gave no warning, held perfect pressure for 6k miles. Turned around and...

Does anyone else wish this bike came with a belt drive. All the accessories I have added, have made this bike almost exactly what I want. If Honda wanted to introduce a cheap low maintenance bike, I don't get why they didn't go belt drive. Hopefully the aftermarket isn't far behind. Okay, done...

Well it happened. I ran out of fuel, and it sucked! I was in Visalia to rent my house out to some folks before heading back to to the coast. Well, when I left for home I hit horrible head and cross winds which took a lot of energy to manage. Because of that, I wasn't monitoring my mileage. I...

I recently purchased the Hippo Hands hand covers. They are AWESOME! Yes, they do look incredibly dorky, but they work! When I installed them, it was in the low 50's. I took a 30 minute ride at high way speeds without any gloves to see how well they worked ( not smart I know, so save the ridicule...

After experienceing a fork seal leak I decided to get some fork gators. After much research on the various styles, I went with Hippo Hands. They make a set for under $20 that goes on in 30 seconds with some Velcro. They are padded and protect the fork tubes without promoting moisture build up...

Well, kinda bummed! Noticed when I got home today that there was a slight oil like line on the front fender. Sure enough, theleft fork seal is done. Only 2,500 miles on the bike. Drive chain, weird engine vibe, fork seal. Kinda wishing I got that extended warranty. Oh well!

Hey guys, I have a bunch of Honda parts on order that are on national back order. I am waiting on the rear carrier, trunk, wind screen, center stand, ect. I have these parts on order with Babbits. I am in the USA by the way. Is there any where I can order these items and get them now? Maybe from...

Is anyone using an Amsoil oil filter yet? I use Amsoil on everything I own but can't seem to narrow down the filter I need. The Honda filter number is 15410-MFJ-D01. I have heard of some guys saying that the Honda 15410-MFJ-505 is compatable. Amsoil has a cross reference for that filter...

So I was at cycle gear when the salesman tried to get me to purchase a trickle charge kit. I explain that I ride it every single day at just over four grand for about 80 miles. He laughed at me and said it dose not matter because bikes do not have alternator's like a car. I told him that I...

Just hoping someone has some pictures of the top box on without the side boxes. I like the side boxes better, but it looks like the top box set up is half the cost. I just don't want the bike to look goofy!

Maybe I am still adjusting to short shifting, but this gearbox dose not seem as smooth as other Honda's I have ridden. Is it just me, or do you guys/gals feel the same. I have put 800 hundred miles on it in 12 days. My reference is a new cbr250r, 2007 cbr600, 2011 cbr1000. Don't get me wrong, it...

Hi all. First off, this forum will be an awesome resource for these bikes as I do all my own maintenance. I truly appreciate all of the informative answers to other posts given thus far. Second, I know this question has no definite yes or no answer. I have a job interview tomorrow that I really...
