Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, you've gone and done it now ........ @Dunders 🤣

@Tegraman your description is very helpful for me. I'll try to not worry about the bolt/pivot in stand. @VinnyB Riding on a motorcycle upside down can have bad effects on health.

I went to see Abba in Tenerife recently. Well, I say Abba, it was only two girls, so they should have been called Aa. Just sayin.

Tubeless. Not long Andy

Bike sorted... arrived in the damp of Kettlewell.

It's not weakness in the side stand or pivot that stops me trying to mount that way. It's my own clumsiness that would inevitably have me pulling the bike down on top of myself, probably in front of a crowd knowing me.

Which will split down the exact same lines as every oil thread; Group A want to follow the manual. Group 2 want the best for their darling precious and believe evil Mr. Honda is trying to poison it, believing instead that Castrol Super Duckhams GTR is not only full of hyper synthetic block chain stabilizers, but has that new fresh minty smell with added zing and zip. 40 being bigger than 30 proves they are correct. Group III bought or sold something labelled "Happy Dumpling Motorcycle Oil" and want to justify it either to avoid legal action or calm down the voices in thei

Don't have a filter to hand. Not due. Laziness. Now look what you've done! I shall order one immediately! And I can put off the oil change..... That helped:-))

I just put red brake rubber grease on mine.

The dealers are still in discussion with Honda on other possible causes, it will be honda picking up the tab as the bike's less than a year old.

I regularily mount by letting the side stand take the strain, at 125kg (or more ?) it hasn't given me a minutes worry, so you lightweights at 100kg shouldn't worry.

We could take a lesson from the horse world. Those folk have a set of wooden steps beside the horse for mounting and dismounting. They also have a slave holding the horse’s head during the process. I’m liking this idea more and more. I would willingly employ some workshy moron (present front bench is an obvious choice) to stand at the front of my NC, holding the handlebars while I climb the wooden steps and get on. The moron could then return the steps to the garage and await my return. Hmm…...

Halfords do bike batteries, and you can check store stock online. Be aware that the CB500X battery lies on its side, and when it lies down the terminals are on the opposite sides. People have been known to put them in upright and then connect the wrong way round

If only there were one.....
