    NC700/750 owners banter thread..

    And Battery. If you buy a new airfilter, get a washable one as paper filters on the NC is around R1000. BTW, my 84k service yesterday was R2250 odd.

    Standard size so most probably 160. Just a side note, the NC is surprisingly rather heavy, weighing around 230kg, which is only 30kg lighter than my GSA.

    OK, feedback: Een tank later het ek 410km op die tank gekry teen net onder 30.95km/l. Vorige tank was 28.17km/l by vergelyking. Bygese, beide die wheelbearings is vervang en deCAT is gedoen, so kan een of albei wees wat die verskil maak. Voel of ek nie meer so hard hoef te ry om iewers te kom...

    I currently have the P4 on the back and very happy, but my application is commuting. I sometimes have about 2km gravel to site but that's done at slow speed (40kph) which is do-able with any tyre. I have Anarkee 3's on the GS. Some guys here recon they are rubbish offroad, unfortunately I cant...

    Cost of service on the BMW1200 LC

    this is funny. Passion is awesome and so on but some owners just love to speach how the maintenance costs of BMW is much higher. The service costs in this thread is also less than what I always saw as quoted for a Suzuki Vstrom as well. Oh and btw...the services on my diesel F30 shape BMW is...

    Tom, die CAT sit onder die fiets se sump. As jy net slip-on aangesit het, is die CAT nog daar. Dis 'n verdikking in die exhaust wat hulle oopsny, CAT uithaal en weer toe weld. Welding nou nie die mooiste wat ek al gesien het nie, maar sit onder die fiets so jy sien dit nie tensy jy daarvoor kyk...

    Some more (useless) information. My NC's rear wheel bearing decided it had enough. Both front and rear bearings was replaced and I had it deCAT while the bike was there. Kms is 79k and cost was R2k all in. Bike feels almost new now. Feels like I was riding with under inflated tyres and...

    HARLEY-DAVIDSON ANNOUNCES NEW AFRICA BIKE WEEK LOCATION AND DATES

    I'm not a Harley owner but being I can appreciate the whole harley scene and culture, so here's my take. Previous years it was all about the mass rides, exhibits, Jack Daniels gardens and the whole Harley culture. Then we went to the one two years ago and it was flooded with locals testing...

    In Da Nc700 house

    I had the OEM unit gutted (well actually cut open and reworked). It sound now just a bit more beefy and louder without being obnoxious. I'm still in two minds if I want to decat it as that may affect the consumption.

    For what its worth, 72k services was done at Honda Sandton, R1416. I have a K&N filterwhich was (hopefully) cleaned and put back. Honda quoted me R1200 for rear only set of brakepads. Bought front and rear set for just under R1000(SBS, sintred) from independent bikeshop. Replaced the rear pads...

    Looking - NC750 heated grips/ Hand guards

    I have PUIG heated grips which works nicely with 4 heat settings (Although one stopped working a week ago ???) They are bit more expensive than Oxford ones. I have polisport universal ones, but if I would buy again, it would be Barkbusters.

    SHAD makes an aftermarket seat, Toon on the forum has one, but doesn't make that big a difference. IIRC that seat was R5500 a while back, that was before the Rand's plummet.  BTW, mine has 72k on now and can't say that the seat bothers me that much.
