I am moving to China this year so need to sell my NC30. Apart from dealers, I am the third New Zealand owner. I bought her early last year with the intention of holding onto her for a good long time as these bikes are just so bloody fun, and in good condition they’re a beautiful classic sport bike.
In the time I’ve owned this bike I’ve given it a good going over and replaced any bits and pieces that I thought looked a little suspect, or are known to fail over time.
Done in last 1500kms:
New AirFilter
Replaced fuel tap vacuum hose
Replaced fuel hose
Replaced A/F screw O rings and washers in the carbs
Recent oil change
New exhaust system
New spark plugs
De-restrictor circuit added
Carbs serviced and balanced
New front tyre (Bridgestone S20). The rear is still good, it’s a Bridgestone BT014 which has a harder compound so wears a bit slower
The owner before me races an NC30, and this was his road bike. He put in quite a lot of work replacing seals, bearings, sprockets, and doing required engine maintenance.
Done in last 5000kms:
Oil filter changed
Valve clearances checked and adjusted
New engine cover gasket
New front sprocket (Renthal anodised aluminium)
New rear sprocket (Renthal anodised aluminium)
New chain (RK 520 O-ring)
New fork seals, dust seals, and fork oil
New battery
New front wheel bearings
New rear wheel bearings
New headstock bearings
Goodridge braided front brake lines (the front brakes are insane on this thing).
New EBC Pro-Lite front brake discs
I put on a new exhaust with a free flowing carbon fiber muffler. It’s not baffled, and is reasonably loud. I also fitted a later model rear shock with the remote reservoir as it is a bit better than the standard one. The carbs have been rejetted to run 118f/120r which is perfect for this free flowing exhaust. I will of course include the standard jets in case you want to return it to the standard exhaust setup.
When I had the carbs off they were serviced: They got a good cleaning with carb cleaner, and all the passageways blown out with compressed air.
Carbs were balanced after everything was back on the bike.
I still have the standard full exhaust system (which is in very good condition), and the standard rear shock. I also have a banged up ‘Zorst’ muffler which fits the NC30 (it’s a bit quieter than the one on there).
All of the original parts and the Zorst muffler are included with the bike when sold.
There are only a couple of potential negatives about the bike:
It has a fibreglass front fairing from a New Zealand company (Just Fairings) which has been painted in the original type 1 scheme.
There is a slight dent on the left side of the tank. I’ve tried to show it in the photos, but it hasn’t creased at all so it’s quite hard to notice.
There is normal wear and tear on the paint from stone chips etc (it is 25 years old!)
When all is said and done, this is a great example of the original 1989 NC30. It’s rare to find one in this condition with mileage this low. Pretty much any part that could potentially fail and cost you money has been replaced in the last 5000kms.
Considering the condition of this bike, and the inclusion of the original parts, I think the price is pretty good. Although I am open to reasonable offers. No chips.
