Oh, you are in Chicago area. Yep

Dang. I did 1054 miles in 17 hours back in 2014 for the butt burner ride on my nc700x. That was with an 1.5 hour stop at a DQ outside Pensicola and 45 minute stop in Lake City to get dry from a super rain storm. Don't think I want to do that again, but who knows.

Look in the bikes for sale section. A member has a 2021DCT for sale for $8000.

What is bbg?

Hello from Florida, USA

Nice. My 35 L topcase

When you hit the rev limiter. 75mph in 6th gear, the bike is at 4000 rpms, 2000+ rpms below the rev limiter. I don't think you can hit the rev limiter in 6th, don't know about 5th gear- never tried. I maxed the speed in 6th gear once (100+ mph) and was below 6000 rpms.

Yep, all is normal. Nothing to get by hitting rev limiter (which you can't hit in 6th anyways). I have a 2013 nc700x also. 4000 rpms at 75mph is right.

Thanks, I found it on Amazon...

You have a link for that toggle switch?

The clunk is normal and I don't notice it. Even my little klx250sf has it. The Honda is clunk, the C50 is Clunk, and the bmw g650gs I used to own was CLUNK. The only time the service manual states to do a DCT resynchronization is when clutch plates are replaced.

I did the same a few years ago but with a large plastic cutting board from Walmart. I also mounted the topcase bracket on it. For bigger loads, I can remove the top case and place the load on the cutting board.

I sat on a 500, but didn't feel comfortable on it. Knees were too high with my 33" inseam. I have been test riding other bikes, but haven't found anything I like. My nc700x, my Suzuki C50 Boulevard, and even the little KLX 250sf have low torque and don't need to be revd very much to get going. I...

A question. If one of the brake pistons were grabbing/sticking, would it cause the same condition?

I am in Indiana visiting my kids so I am in the path of totality..no bike though.
