None that I could find. Proprietary Honda

Yes, they did replace both clutch packs to the tune of $325 each plus labor. You know I feel like I fell into a pack of parts swoppers but I was told that the mechanic was Honda trained and knew what he was doing, but I’m not so sure, but the bottom line is it’s shifting very smoothly now, so it...

Here is their story. See pic.

Rode my just repaired DCT to my old alma mater TEXAS A&M, Kyle field to take a picture to get my 25th picture stop that qualifies me for my 4th rocker. https://motorcyclegrandtouroftexas.com/

DCT Does the limp mode thing at 50k miles. It turned indo a 77 day long part swapping adventure at Cycle Shack North In Spring, Tx. Battery weak, change it, nope, new shift motor, nope, new DCT Controller, nope (returned, saved me $1000)@%, new clutch assembly x2 because its Dual Clutch, nope...

Thats a good way to extend a chains life…I guess.

100% agree. My Madstad is comfortable. The secret is the standoff which creates an updraft inside the windshield and the little separate wings. It’s different by design and excellent wind tunnel testing.

Damn. I missed it!

Bump

I’m 6’2” and my used NC had rhe tall oem on it when I first got it. It was very flexible and not tall enough. I have had a Madstad 22” for 3 years and love the protection. It does not flex at high speed. No Helmet buffeting and the wings add to low level protection. Now my frunk lid never gets...

Real world, real life, real people.

I bought my NC700xdct 4 years ago. I am now 70. I have put 41000 on it so far and love it. I commute to work apx 4 days per week during school ( I substitute teach) but only about 5 to 12 miles. I also ride all over TEXAS to do the Grand Tour of Texas, to get picture stops all over the state. I...

I put 2 inch bar risers with a 1in. setback and drop foot pegs on my 2012 700DCT to fit my 6’2” frame. It fits me and I have loved it fo 40k miles so far. I bought it 4 years ago with 7200 miles and it had the Honda paneers and top box from a Harley dealer for $3500. Best deal ever!
