Last night while attempting to adjust chain tension I sheared off one of my drive chain adjusters. The lock nut and adjuster nut wouldn't come loose from each...
My bike, as mentioned in my previous post is a year old, with about 8700 miles on it. Initially I was getting 80+MPG. For several months it's been more like...
As mentioned in two other posts this morning I have a NH250 I bought new about a year ago. I've been lurking about this group from time to time since I bought...
... A windshield might help more than either of the other mods. I noticed a significant improvement in power above 55mph after adding mine. A smaller one...
... Have you changed your route? Hitting up more 65mph highways than you used to, now that you're more comfortable w/ the bike? I get the worst mileage on...
... Most bolts/nuts on the bike are normal metric sizes and can be picked up at a hardware store. Soak the nuts w/ some WD40 or similar, and they should break...
You're probably just missing that "sweet spot." I got 75 on mine when I had it, unless I really hit the highway. Even side winds can drop you down. You're...
... I'd hope not. I'm @ 26,500 miles on the original chain with adjustment left to go, and I'm -1 tooth on the rear. If I was halfway thru my 3rd chain right...
Hi, Ryan. Your reply got me to thinking why my chain is stretching as it is. I probably wring out my chain more than most; accelerate as fast as I can in all...
... I accelerate fairly quick on the bike as well, and engine brake a lot, but I don't live in a mountainous area unfortunately, so that may account for some...
... Thanks all for the replies thus far. I appreciate your time and inputs. I really enjoy riding my NH250, perhaps a bit too much. I do wish it had a bit...
... H'mm. I have been packing on a few lbs, maybe thats where the MPGs went. Perhaps I should get serious about that P90X thing my wife wants to try....
... I second this, and I'm only about 5'10". Rode a Rebel for part of my MSF course and in the process of doing offset cone weave caught the handle bar on my...
... THe BMW motorcycle guys here recommended breaking the engine in on dino and then you can change over to synthetics after something like 5000 miles. I'm no...
... With the 234cc engine, dropping a sprocket tooth in back will just reduce rpm. In 1st, 2nd, and 3rd you can shift up at a higher speed but acceleration...
Jon was addressing me personally, guys, with the "load" comment. He's concerned about my blood pressure and general health. The rest of you can go on...
Hi all, I have a Natl. Cycle Plexifairing-3 windshield for sale. It's brand-new, never mounted, hardware still bagged. This shield provides excellent...
Joel, email me off group; I'll buy it if it's the right one. I was shipped the wrong number, and it's awkwardly on my bike now, but I can probably get it to...
It's always about you, eh Mike? :-) You're right about donuts. Much faster to ride straight than do donuts. --Mike D. PS: I know, there's a hole in that...
You know who the old guys are by the fact that we're on this thing on a Friday night, for god's sake! My uncle used to say that most of my lines weren't puns;...
