Glad to hear you are enjoying the bike. I appreciate the level of detail in the review. As a fellow NK owner it has provided me with a list of things to check on my own bike.

Great review, I am also loving my NK. I agree with the fastener issue 100%. I've found that I've stripped a couple of threads on the frame for attaching bodywork, the cutting of threads in the frame is very hit and miss. I have bought a workshop set of thread repair inserts so I have inserts to hand as I need them. I think I might also go through the bike and check and replace any low quality fasteners as I come across them.

a huge miss for me is no trip meter, I really like that as a back up as I've always found motorcycle fuel gauges to be pretty hit and miss. Secondary for me is to find an add on clock that doesn't spoil the looks of the gauge area of the bike.

really interested to hear anyone's ideas on add on trip meter solutions.....

Not had a problem with the frame threads, I'll try and be careful with them. I think there are nearly unlimited options with the thread lengths and shapes. You can buy reasonably price titanium bolts in the same sizes.

Hi Zmc888

I just use stainless steel ones found a shop that has loads all types "Titanium" i ahd it hard to find the SS shop not surs in china if people know about these lol
but good luck

Prince the problem being is that most of the steel bolts you can buy in China and on the web internationally are made in China then you are back to square one. If you want good quality steel you have to pay quite a bit for it. However you can buy very strong and of course light weight and non-corroding titanium for a price, but considering I want to keep the bike for 10 years or more it's worth it, would be buying from western web shop of course.

Ho i see i be happy if the TR last 3 years as for 10 years i think the odds are more in the favour with in 10 years riding a bike in china you will be killed? but i like your thinking no harm being a Optimistic i am more a skeptical when it come to how long it will last, ok so i am being a bit of a pessimistic but TIC .And i only have a 1 year visa as well lol

Odd, horn only works intermittently. Need to look at the wiring probably in or near the switch.

I think I've got a coolant leak coming from a seal around the front right hand side of the bike, probably the water pump.
