Hello and advice on my nc30
Posted: Wed Jun 02, 2010 4:06 pm
Hi Guys
I have been reading this forum for a while now trying to fill up on as much info as possible on my nc30. So I thought I'd say hi and ask a few questions of my own..
I passed my direct access course last thursday and got a little carried away before I passed my test and brought a clean, recently rebuilt nc30 import of an enthusiast. I did lots of research on these and really wanted a 400 sports bike opposed to a 600 hornet or something (I thought a cbrr/r6/gsx etc would be too much to be sensible on for a first bike). The NC30 fitted the bill and i've fallen head over hills for it.
I live in Swansea but had it stored at my folks (Southampton) while my garage was being sorted...It's been there for a month now with a trickle charge and is started up every week more or less. It starts first time and warms up well. I am going home this weekend to collect it. I plan to ride on saturday to get used to it and clean out the cob webs. Then ride it home from southampton on the sunday. I'm a little excited...
Can any one give me some tips, what to expect sorta thing in terms of riding it, what to look out for etc? would be much appreciated!
I've got a fair idea on the mechanical side, got me a haynes and the info on this site and idea on service intervals etc but fingers crossed it should be good for the summer.
I am a complete novice!
Cheers
Jack
