I'm taking the NC to the garage for the first time. The occasion - swapping the brake cables for braided steel ones.
EDIT: I have the ABS version NC700X, 2012
Folks here suggested that swapping the cables helps with brake feel. I also read that it's good practice to replace the cables every 4 years. Mine is 2012, so I figured this would put me at ease + provide some extra brake feel.
I was wondering whether there are things you (might want to) do before you leave your bike at the garage. This one specifically is a modding garage, not Honda specific as far as I know.
I was thinking -
- Marking the location of the right hand plastic that holds the brake lever and other buttons with 2 pieces of tape.
- Removing fairings that cover brake lines in advance, so they don't try to yank them off or something (Which ones would those be? I was aiming at the side ones that have NCXXX on them)
- Leave the shop manual in the frunk, with bookmarks on torque settings, right handlebar plastic holder removal etc.
Is this something you would do? What else would you recommend?
Thanks
