Hello Everyone,
Can you please share your experience and recommendations with:

1. Coolant for the UK weather
2. Oil and Filter
3. Sparkplugs
4. Brake Fluid
5. Tyres (all seasons don't want to change)
6. Waterproof over suit (I want to wear my rain protection/air over my leather suit)
7. Brake pads
8. Headlight bulbs
9. Fuses
10. Air filter
11. Brake and clutch levers
12. Chain and Sprockets
13. Anything else that is not listed here that I can change to upgrade/improve my NC29?

What should I use? Can you give me full name of the stuff you are using so I can google it and purchase for my bike. I want the best based on your experience with your own bikes.

Best waterproofs are a 2-piece made by Scott. Available from Urban Rider and Motolegends. Tried and tested by me.

See you ask a forum and get many different answers so you are still none the wiser as to which brand to buy. I must say if using different headlight bulbs don’t forget to put a relay inline as there isn’t one on the nc29 dipped beam but i think you asked that on a different topic
