Hi guys,
Had the NC35 2 years now, just plucked up courage to check the valves clearances, and, yes, I should have done it before!
All perfect! How brilliant is that?

Now do I fit the Tyga exhaust? What are my chances of snapping a stud? Stock honda system is working just fine.....

What one is it.as long as you soak ALL the bolts/studs in wd40 or plus gas for a few days you should have no probs doing the changeover...also get proper fitting tools as crap ones will chew the bolts as well.good luck and show us the before and after!!

Just the basic one, single carbon can. I was pretty nervous, but I've realised this bike hasn't seen rain. All the nuts etc seem brand new and not corroded, so maybe I have a decent chance of getting them off intact. Got the body kit too, bought the lot after test riding 899 Panigale, and deciding to keep what I've got....
