95 mile ride on my Frankenseat. http://nc700-forum.com/forum/nc700-mods/9275-frankenseat-my-mod.html?highlight=frankenseat
FABULOUS!!!
It may be ugly but it sure works for my butt.

559 miles now so I went ahead and did the 600mi service since I had the day open. On call but nothing intervened.
Checked most things in the Maintenance section of the manual. Everything is dandy. I did put in 4.5 quarts of oil though - what it says is needed after disassembly is 4.3. It is just a tad over the high mark. Go figure. I replaced the transmission filter too.

I remember reading threads about the oil filters and found that the Fram PH7317 weighs 6.13oz while the Honda factory is shorter and weighed 8.95oz - after draining for 20 min. Could it hold 3oz of oil?? I guess so. Will find out at next oil change. 8000mi. Wow. Hope I remember.

4 of us on July 3rd rode over to Rabbit Hash, Kentucky, an old Hamlet literally on the banks of the Ohio River:


50% of the 4 bikes were Honda Nc700x:

Just spent 10 days at the NC (North Carolina) coast. I trailered the NC so that I could sneak away and ride from time to time. Did a little exploring in the Croatan National Forest. Place was a little sandy for street tires, but I still had some fun. I avoided the worst areas, but every time the road intersected another trail or road, it became very sandy. I avoided two tracks and trails. I was alone and didn't want to get myself stranded.

Just ordered a new rear tire and the tire irons, valve core tool and rim protectors. Added some Ride On to the cart to see how I like it. Yesterday, I built an aluminum bracket to raise the front of the seat. Pics will come later.

I don't mean to question your mechanical abilities, but the manual states the oil capacity after oil and filter drain/change is 3.6 quarts. At 4.5, you could be nearly a quart overfilled. I always put in the 3.6 and mine is right at the correct level on the dipstick. I'm curious where your 0.9 quarts is hiding in there.

Oil level is checked with engine off, bike vertical, on both wheels, and dipstick resting on threads but NOT screwed in.

By comparison, a GL1800 takes only 4 quarts.

OOPS! My bad.

It seems I didn't read the oil bottle correctly. It was more like 3.5 quarts and it reads a tad high.

Dang, this gettin' old sucks. I am going to have to measure thrice and then have someone else check it and watch me as I cut it once! Dang!!

Does the XD with the auto tranny require more than 3.6 quarts as the manual tranny model?

My manual (just bought) came as a 2012 with stickers and instructions on where to place them. They say 2012-2013. Heh.
In it is:
NC700X/XA/SA
3.3 US qt. at draining
3.6 US qt at oil filter change
3.7 US qt at disassembly

NC700XD
3.4 US qt at draining
3.6 US qt at oil filter change
4.1 US qt at disassembly

It doesn't say anything about "at transmission filter change"

But this is all about my initial mistake.

I put the right amount of oil in it 3.5 qt (or so) and then read the bottle wrong and promptly posted before triple checking and having someone else check my figures.
Sorry.

Today, UPS delivered a couple new farkles for installation this weekend. One is an Ohmics Smart brakelight and the other is a tall windscreen.

Dropped my NC off at the dealer after being rear-ended at a stop sign on wednesday. The bike is pretty messed up, but at least I walked away with just a few contusions.

 

[Grey1one]

Good you could walk away, too many people rear-ending bikes lately.

 

[drdubb]

Damn cell phones.

 

[Burnt Rider]

After adding skid plate did 120 mile trip with 56 on forest service roads and some double track. Bike did great.

 

[Burnt Rider]

Glad you were not hurt.

 

[Chestnut]

Got title/registration switched from CA to Pennsylvania. Then hubby took the tiny human shopping and forgot his wallet, so I had to ride the bike out to rescue him.

Added reflective decals to my rims. Id been wanting to pin stripe it with paint but figured the reflective sticker would help with night visibility.

Sorry for the bad photo all I had was my tablet on me.




Here is the decal I got.

I've finally passed the motorcycle exam and are now waiting for updated driving license to be made
In the mean time: today I am strapping the license plate on.
I've also ordered few parts: rims reflective stickers and chain lubricant; also, ordered SW Motech center stand, Puig rear hugger and Puig high windscreen.
All will be mounted this week while I wait for the DL to get printed Photos shortly, can't wait to start working on farkles
