DMV: Blown Shock - NC750X Suspension Upgrade - Scotty's New Bike - Riding Western NC
Рет қаралды 7,237
20 күн бұрынIn this video, I head over to Mountain Cycleworks in Asheville, North Carolina, where I install a new Hyperpro remote reservoir shock and fork springs on my 2019 Honda NC750X. Also making an appearance is the motorcycle legend, Scooter Tramp Scotty, as he works to get his new bike outfitted for the road. Later, we ride around the gorgeous mountains of Western North Carolina, trying some delicious barbeque along the way.

Scotty is like a new proud Poppa with the new Bike. Good for him. It's the little things in life that make us happy. I'm sure the new shocks were a game changer on your Bike. Maybe I'll catch you guys on the road 95 n. bound Saturday to 26 then 77.

Hay Joe. Back like 20 years ago, I had a 83 GL1100 that would not sit on the side stand the forks and rear shock were so beat. So I put Progressive springs in the forks and a set of shocks in the back, and man, what a difference. Fixed the brakes and put on new tires. It looked like shit but went down the road great. Ride safe brother and watch ⌚️ your 6.....

After I had written the comment, I realised that many modern bikes have one fork for preload and the other for rebound damping, So you have fitted the springs correctly as the instructions stated. I run 70's Japanese bikes. They are not like that, I am getting old, and my memory isn't as sharp as it used to be

The efi on Scottys bike isn't bad, it's problem was if you added performance parts it's wasn't tunable. If I were Scotty I would replace the 2 fuel lines sooner rather than later, that's what blew out on mine going to Sturgis last year (400 dollar tow and 400 dollar repair). The new gas eats that old rubber up. Those fuel lines are pressurized with check valves in them, best to fix before the leak.

About the springs. My CTX1300 has two different fork shocks. I'm not sure, but it seems one side is for dampening and the other for the rebound. One does call for slightly more oil than the other too.

Scotty is right. Unmolested Harleys are the best as stock is most always dependable. I will take dependable over somewhat more power every time. Broke down along the road trying to troubleshoot a bike modified by someone else sucks. Your spine thanks you Joe for replacing the rear shock. In a month you probably be a half inch taller again 😁

Red threadlocker is fine where you can get to it and heat it up to break it loose. This is from Permatex: Permatex High Strength Removable Orange Threadlocker is a hybrid formula that combines the strength of Red threadlocker with the removability of Blue Threadlocker. Orange Threadlocker is ideal for modern day engine bays with a great deal of lightweight components and high vibration applications. Unlike traditional Red Threadlocker, Orange Threadlocker can be removed with hand tools when extra force is applied.

The right-hand spring seems to have been fitted upside down. When you removed the left spring, the coils at the bottom were tighter wound than the top spring coils. Unless that is how the right spring needs to be fitted, that is just an observation.
