I often ride two up. Judging by the grimace on the face on of wife, even after a 30 minute ride in to the city, I'd say it's not exactly suited to the task! The only positive is that my Shad box with the seat rest is really good for support on a longer trip. In summary, the seat is bad for rider...

Voted Black, as this is the colour that I chose over my second preference of white, but what I really wanted was a metallic blue! Hopefully when I come to trade in and get another one, this colour will be available.

I remember reading a review when the bike was first released and the reviewer made a comment about the rear brake, which reflects the experiences mentioned here and that of my own. It definitely needs a solid stomp to get it working! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Welcome to the NC forum from Barcelona....enjoy your new new ride!

I've managed to bring the times that this happens to me down for almost every time to 1 in 2 times. Mainly by remembering the tip given by dduelin, i.e. slight upward pressure on the lever prior to shift. Also, there is an optimum rev level where the change is much smoother...somewhere around...

Thanks Xcellor8, I need to check the adjustment, as I had a recent experience of the rear wheel nut not being tightened properly. Beginning to conclude that the dealer didn't do a very good job on pre-delivery inspection....or any kind of job at all! I have around 4,000 KM on the clock, so I'm...

Hi all, In the last couple of weeks my NC has changed in the way that it handles. Beforehand, it was sure-footed, stable and predictable.. Now it feels like I'm riding on tiled floor covered in oil, ( slight exaggeration for effect ;-)) it just doesn't feel the same! At first I thought my tyre...

Hi from me in Barcelona :-) and I also gravitated from a 125cc scooter to the NC. Enjoy your new ride and try to take a ride out to Montserrat. Very enjoyable! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

I'm also having the same issue. The front isn't so bad but I'd say I'm losing a round 2 to 3 psi per day. Thanks for the useful tips, which I'll be trying this weekend and if I don't get any good outcome, then off to the dealer I go. Cheers Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Thanks all. I'll do the checks as suggested.. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Hi, My NC has recently developed a series of odd and very annoying noises. The first is a rattling, (like a peanut bouncing around in wooden box) that I think I can pinpoint to the catch on the lid on the fake tank. Apart from stuffing a bit of cardboard down there, I'd be grateful if there...

BTW, AT WORK!! 65 years old! WTF

Happy Birthday Rocker66. Now I know that you chose your user name in anticipation of this day :-) My experience is different to yours as I bought my first bike, the NC, last October just before my 52 birthday. Sometimes I feel I've missed out on a life time of happy biking, but then I realise...

Welcome to the forum from Barcelona. Glad you opted for the NC over the other choices!

Many thanks for the update CorEnFa. The seat mod together with the different screen options represent the most popular purchasing issues that face us NCers. The quality/price product is one thing, but customer service is often the most important and this you only find out after you've made the...

Looks really good and at least aesthetically, the best add-on windscreen in my opinion, however you raise a good point zapf. I'm beginning to think I should should stick with the original short screen, as a I can tolerate some wind pressure on my chest rather than the turbulent air being...

Sure thing, ping me nearer the time. There are loads of good riding routes in the wine region just in-land from the city and a ride to Monserrat is a must!
