This is awesome!!! I've done a fair bit off-road on my slightly modded NC and this build takes it to the next level. Bravo!! I haven't had an issue with the cast wheels as long as I keep the tires at 25psi but the 17 inch front does require some riding style adjustment.

Honda should take a moment to listen to your recommendations. The NC-X bikes would have sold even better with a 21 inch wheel from the very start. Thanks for posting. Safe rides 👍🏍🙏 My personal opinion on the 520 chain.... I don't believe you gain anything with a 525 chain. The 520 is plenty strong. I have done incredibly milage with a 520 chain on my NC700S, in fact have even turned it over ( meaning open the chain and turn it over ) and it still runs smooth. Given I do lube it a lot. But in 40 years of motorcycle riding I never had a chain problem.

Thanks,much appreciated for your comment,i can use a 520 chain if i get a rear 520 sprocket to fit on TA wheel,the Transalp unit is a 525 sprocket,will see how it goes next week.Frank

Transplant something better into it

The seat is "great?"

I have a 2012 model with 24k on it now. My big issue is that the suspension is very soft for my 200lb butt. That and for some reason, even after a clutch and cable change, going from first to 2nd is always clunky or grindy if I get above 3,000rpm then shift. Then I always have to adjust the cable after it warms up or there is too much play in it. I want to keep it around and not change it much because i love the way you can haul around corners on stock wheels. I mainly highway drive it to work and never off road so I assume most things shown here wouldn't benefit me.

@FranksWay

Hi, i will have a look if i can find any common issues concerning the clutch and revert with feedback, i run Motul 5100 oil in mine, what oil do you use in your NC?

@UN-intelligent

@@FranksWay I mainly use mobile 1 racing 10-40. I appreciate it if you find anything. I bought it with 13k miles on it. I usually take 1 qt of oil out at 2,000 miles and dump a fresh one in then change it totally at 4-5,000 depending on how bad it has gotten by then. The only thing I've noticed, is when I let the chain have a bit more slack, the issue almost stops. I might have too much weight on the back and am pulling the chain too tight when on it. That possibility doesn't explain why it's only between 1st-2nd or going into first.

@FranksWay

Жыл бұрын

you need to adjust chain with your weight on,try that first..recommended as per OEM clearance

@UN-intelligent

@@FranksWay Yeah, I've had the tire replaced a few hundred miles ago and it was adjusted by them. I hate doing adjustments myself to it. For some reason I just never get it right. Suppose I need to buy some cheater tools for slack and tire balancing. It's more of a pain than my 08 ninja zx6 was. I can put enough pressure into it to remove slack, but when i need slack the adjustment plates are way loose . Might need to add another or get a thicker one.

Just take your time and get it sorted correctly,a good chain clean with diesel and a relube and sdjust goes a long way,once this is correct,one can have a look at various other components

I wish you would have done this 2 years ago, I had a NC750 then and sold it for the very reasons you are doing the upgrades. I live in KZN and our dirt roads are better than our tar roads so I bought a BMW 310GS but it is lacking in quality and strength.
