Great write up with very good pictures. Many thanks...I recently purchase a 2012 NC700X and will probably need to change the fork oil soon. This write up will be very helpful. Thanks again...

Just my 2 cents worth...I have owned motorcycles with all 3 final drive types (chain, belt and shaft). All have pro's and con's in performance and maintenance. I just want to point out one comment that was stated earlier in this thread that basically stated that shaft drive was zero...

I bought my 2012 NC700X about 6 months ago with 9600 miles on it. After some routine maintenance, I have installed GIVI TN1111 engine guards (installed longer mounting bolts), Pyramid fender extender (glued on with Gorilla 2 part epoxy), and installed after market center stand. The center stand...

Welcome...hope you enjoy your new ride. The NC700X is a good reliable machine that does pretty much everything pretty well. I also have a 2012 NC700X and am very happy with it after 10K miles.

I just adjusted the valves on my 2012 NC700X with 9700 miles on it. For the most part the valves were very close to the specs. I found one intake valve on number 2 cylinder slightly out side of spec (tight) and one exhaust valve on cylinder number 1 cylinder also tight but just barely in...

Welcome from Central Florida and enjoy your new ride. I believe you made a very good choice in purchasing a NC700X. I just picked up a used 2012 NC700X myself and my sister has a 2015 NC700X. I am also new to this forum and there is quite a bit of very good information and from what I can...

Welcome from Central Florida. Hope you enjoy your 2012 NC700X. I have recently purchased a used 2012 NC700X as well. Have been going through the bike (routine maintenance items) and hope to be riding with a smile on my face soon. Best of luck with your new ride. I think you made an excellent...

Welcome....It's never too late to ride a 2 wheeler. I have been riding for 41 years and now at age 57, I just purchased a used 2012 NC700X a couple of weeks ago. In my opinion you picked a great bike to enjoy the nice Maryland country roads. Ride safe and keep the rubber side down. Enjoy....Fernando

670cc I completely agree with you that the NC700X red line is pretty close to most automobile engines. After all the NC700X engine is partly based on the Honda Fit automobile engine. The point I was trying to make was that in general, motorcycle engines (including the NC700X) will usually run...

Hello to all.... I have to totally agree with the earlier post by summitx . Indeed valve clearences usually tighten up (valve noise gets quieter) as the engine is run due to valve seat wear. This is especially true in motorcycle engines due to the increased RPM operating range as compared to...

Hope you enjoy your new NC700X. I have a 2012 NC700x that I recently purchased used. Based on the information from my owner's manual for the 2012, the motor oil should be a NON-ENERGY Conserving 10w-30 that meets JASO T 903 Standard MA with API Service SG or higher. One good choice would be...

potter0o, thanks again for your note. I did go ahead and purchase the 2012 NC700X . This morning I cleaned and lubricated the original chain. It has a few binding links so I will be right behind you in ordering a replacement chain. The sprockets still looked very good, so I am pretty confident...

670cc , thanks for your input. I am going to clean/lube and adjust the chain as soon as I get it home. If after adjusting the chain the rear axle is at or close to the limit indicator, it will be NEW Chain time for sure. Based on how loose it is and where the axle is currently (about 1/2 way to...

SergeantChuck , thanks for your reply to my post. I am feeling much better based on the input I have received regarding the NC700x. Sounds like they are pretty solid bikes. I agree with you that it may be time to start shopping for a replacement chain. I took a quick look at the brake pads and...

potter0o thanks for the reply. I think you may be correct in suggesting the chain may need to be replaced. I took a quick look at the rear swing arm and the axle was about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way through adjustment slot in the swing arm and the chain was still pretty loose. I may find that when...

Nofear2trek, thanks for the reply and for the feedback on your NC's. Sounds like they were very good rides. To answer your question, I don't think my sister has joined this forum yet, but I will make sure to encourage her to do so. From what I have seen so far it is full of great members and...

eastbayandy, thanks for your feedback. It is nice to know that your NC is doing well. I hope it continues to give you many years of trouble free enjoyment. Thanks again.

Hello to all and thanks to everyone who has contributed to this forum. I have found it full of good information and great advice. I am a long time motorcycle rider and helped my younger sister purchase he very first motorcycle a few months ago . It was a 2015 NC700X which she purchased new...
