Just bought another NC30!!

Post by CharlieK »

Hi guys thought you would like to see this, sorry for the poor quality pics, taken from my phone quickly in someone elses garage. This thing is a true barn find, bought in the late nineties by the daughter of a friend and only ridden a handful of times as a result its done 4990km, about 3000 miles! It's like a time warp, original uncut exhaust and mint plastics, it even has the Honda safety sticker on the screen. It has been garaged all that time so its not corroded anywhere, a bit dusty and mucky from the last ride, fuel has gone stale and no doubt the carbs need a clean out. I'll post more pics when I pick it up next Wed. Not bad for 1500 quid!

Agreed. Great buy.

Ideally you'll wanna give it a good over-haul before your tempted to play, as well as checking everything...

* Clean carbs out
* New fuel
* New Oil / Oil Filter.
* New brake fluid
* Check the airbox/filter . i've seen mice nest in them beforenow.
* New battery.. the old one might take a charge but it'll probably kill the reg-rec (maybe r6 mod the reg while your there?)
* Tyres might be shot too.

The bike will love you for it ;)

Finally got one of my storage finds up and running (even though it ran badly after trying to start it straight away) and now it's fantastc. Glad I took my time with it

Just had a good clean up and polish, used 'gunk' on all the greasy parts, wheels, sprockets and linkages with a toothbrush, then Tcut on the bodywork followed by Plexus with a soft cloth. Thought you might like to see the result, I'm pleased to say the least!

That is looking very clean indeed. :up: Well done.
The top yoke looks ok in the photo, I'd leave it.
