Well right off the bat I was thinking that maybe you are drawing a vacuum on the tank (as in a clogged vent)and gas isn't flowing to the engine or something is heating up and not allowing fuel to get to the engine. Is the tank vented through the cap? Start it up with the gas cap removed and see...

"Yes, my 2012 is still for sale! Thanks, David, for posting the link to my ad." Look at the end of post #4 670CC! [emoji16] Good luck to the both of you. 670, if yours is still around in late spring send me a PM as I may come look at it as another daughter will need a bike by then. Sent from...

I have SW/Motech quick 1/4 turn attachments on my 2012 NC700 DCT with GIVI E22's and I have the same setup on my CBR 1100XX with E41's and a alu rack with a conversion plate with a V57 top box. All very sturdy. I can swap the side panniers to either bike if I need more or less storage for what I...

I would start at 3000 to 3100. This is low miles but miles aren't as big as factor like they were in the 70's. There are plenty of used farkled out bikes for $3500 with less than or around 20,000 miles. That's still hardly touching the life of the engine. I have two 2012's in the stable. Bought...

Of course... and please people do not think that I am trying to say anyone is wrong. This is just an exchange of ideas between friends! That's why I like this forum. Plenty of different experiences to draw from... Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Yes, but with the right tool (which I have) it is incredibly easy. I had my 11 yr old do it with me while I was coaching him. RK brand can be had for $90 on the net. Chain and sprockets for around that. Having a honda shop put on a stock chain and sprockets will cost you that much. Plenty of...

I always put on a staked or peened master link. Permanent and the clip is no longer a worry. My preference. I know people are running clips on a 700 but it is not OEM that way. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I was going to reply but TacomaJD mentioned everything I was going to say. The only other question is this? Did you get gas at a different station or fill up shortly before this problem raised its ugly head? Maybe everything is fine and you got bad gas or gas with water in it. Did you fill up...

I bought the package that juggler showed. I broke two before I figured out how to reset them. Lost one in the bowels of the bike behind some panels. I maintain 2 NC700X'S and wanted some on hand as it would cost me about the same in gas money to go to the dealer to get one or two of them...

So it acts as an accumulator for the shock then. I understand about the hydro lock. Makes sense. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

That tank thingy holds hydraulic fluid. Not gas. Don't know the answer to your question. Feel for you losing your shock. That just has to hurt. Good luck finding what you need. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I have one. I will post pics tomorrow Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Let us know what you find! Most people don't understand that brake fluid absorbs moisture. Seals don't seal 100% against moisture. If the brakes get hot this moisture flashes to steam... and bye, bye to your brakes! Your clutch on hydraulic clutch bikes same thing. Absorbs moisture as it is...

I used to think along the lines of Tacoma. That changed as a bike I have owned since 1985 started having brake problems 5 years ago. So much gunk in the system that the brakes started dragging. Opened up my CBR 1100XX clutch reservoir 4 yrs after I had changed it. Bottom was full of gunk. Sure...

Charge it up and see if bike acts normal. Dduelin is correct in stating that an old small Motorcycle battery has little reserve. Especially if the bike had been sitting for a while. Check out battery-stuff.com. Good prices. Quick shipping too. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

+1 on the battery vote. Put a charger on the battery and charge it. You can use a volt meter to see if it is charged. Should be around 13.1 volts. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Well, that's what I get for trusting a mechanic and not verifying it! He is quite knowledgeable but I will have to correct him on this. I came home and took my ancient bottle of Stabil off the shelf. Haven't used it in 5 yrs. Sure enough! No Alcohol. It even states that on the back. Below are...

Acids build up in oil as it is used. I change oil and filter at the end of the season. I don't start my bikes up until the next riding season. Don't go out and start your bike periodically unless you let it idle and get really hot where the fan cycles on and off. You can build up condensation in...

For Florida that may be over kill... heavier jacket a d pants maybe!! [emoji6] Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Just to ease the pain of the finger... been there done that! Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
