Dealers suck. You really have to learn it your self. Carbs are not that hard... They just take time and patients.

ExchangeGuy lives in Dickinson, which is almost as far away as you can get from Ft. Werf... well, not really, but it's a long ways away. Whatever the savings might be, the gas-bill would eat it up

That is bad-ass!!
Yea ftw is a ways from my home to fix a carb. I do have trailer to tow it though....That is, if it is the carb. OK problem.... here goes: mornings and smetimes after work, after warmup. The bike seems to starve for fuel during hard and medium stops (lights and stop signs), the front cylinder pops out of the pipes. The engine runs on 1 cylinder. #2. sometime on acceleration, it acts like it does when runs out of fuel. Then, getting out the freeway sometime gets scary...I nail the throttle. The bike bike sometimes doesnt seem to want to go over 65mph....bogs. Or acts like it want to die but doesnt. It has died in traffic before. Just once or twice. Not often, just like the symtoms I have described. Yamaha has not been able to dulicate the issue. I took in 5 times after it has acted up on me, and won't do it again. I have tried different fuels, different stations. Yamaha tells me it could be the fuel....well duh! but not the fuel itself!! It's that damn carb!! They have yet had a excuse to go into it. Over the course of the last year since I had it, I have taken it in numerous times to fix it....no luck. they can't find the problem. ugh!! I had the same problem with my V-star several years ago....when they rejetted some parts fell out. so they replaced one of the carbs. I think it's the same problem with this one. They dont belive me! The float is either bad, a stuck jet, etc. i would rather replace with a 42-45mm carb (stock is 40mm). It's still stock now, with a 1700cc (102ci) v-twin engine. I even had a long talk with the GM and the owner to try get something moving on it. The Gm told me it was a normal characteristic of the bike...uh WHAT!!??. No it's not!! UGH...... |

They are more American than Harley is, they also run great! No shaking, lots of power, the actually do a great job at keeping up with the sport bikes. If you have not ridden one try them.

You must've gotten that one off one of the importers from ebay?.. or did you go directly to them? There used to be a bunch of 'em, but I've been out of that scene for a while. I've pondered trying that, but fear getting ripped off. I -really- want an nc30 (or 35!) like crazy. I feel I need at least one 'import' that has more than 2-strokes (to go along with my tzr250 and rg500). |

if you want a 400 grey bike the nc30 is by far one of the best choices. the little gear cam motor is very robust and needs alot less attention than other little high revving 400s. There's a huge following in the UK and you can always find the part you need. companies like tyga are making new parts for them as well. |
