    Fuel gauge issue

    You might want to give Honda your VIN (vehicle identification number) to see if there is an outstanding recall. My 2014 (US Model) was recalled for a faulty meter panel because the fuel gauge was doing the same thing.

    Looking to add an additional brake/tail light for more visibility from the rear, any suggestions?

    I have no idea about the Denali but I run a pair of Whelen TIR3 on the back of my bike. They are pretty robust which is why you see them on law enforcement and first responder vehicles. They also have a bunch of different patterns that you can use. No issues after lots of miles in all kinds...

    NC700X Photos

    Thanks, In early summer of 2015 I did a two week tour from Maine to about 24 other states and 50 National Parks and Monuments and back, around 13,000 miles. Again in the summer of 2017 I did another similar two-week tour (but hitting weird roadside attractions) and did about the same 13,000...

    Is NC700X a Dual Sport bike. Yes, it is. And, no, is not.

    Possibly, but traction control does zero for braking on gravel. When the ABS kicks in, the brakes release whether you have traction control or not. Not a fun experience. Honestly, traction control on a quarter-ton + motorcycle w/50 hp is kinda.....unusual ;-)

    Is NC700X a Dual Sport bike. Yes, it is. And, no, is not.

    Right up to the time you hit a deceasing radius, off-camber turn with a drop off a bit "warm" (not even hot!), and try to bleed some speed with the brakes. At which point the ABS kicks in and you well, have no brakes. Don't ask me how I know this ;-) That is why most dual sports w/ABS have...

    A bit confused about the empty gas tank

    Almost 77 fluid ounces.... hard to believe that you actually ran out of gas or that the pump is that far off. Maybe an intermittent fuel pump issue?

    A bit confused about car (bike) loan...

    You would think, right? But that isn't how many lenders see it. The three common factors usually considered when offering a rate on a vehicle loan are: # 1 Your FICO score #2 The Term of the Loan (Longer term = higher rates) #3 The age of the vehicle or mileage on the vehicle (Older...

    A bit confused about car (bike) loan...

    Principal is the same but there are two other factors needed to calculate any differences. You need to know the term (loan length) and interest rate of each. Given that the principal is the same and presuming the term and interest rate are the same, there would be absolutely no differences in...

    Crash Bars NC700X

    I have some experience in both those situations ;-) The Arizona Police report said the bike slid 568 ft down I-40 after impact. I depart the bike way before that. Driver behind me (it was about 10pm) said it looked like a 4th of July sparkler display as the bike slid on it's left side. Sadly...

    Question Givi Top Case Rack Fitment Problem-Solved

    Want to add that your mount looks slightly different than mine. Might be an older design (but it is the same part number). In your 2nd picture of the side mount, there looks like some sort of sleeve or ??? that one of the screws goes through. Mine doesn't have that, the entire mount is just...

    Question Givi Top Case Rack Fitment Problem-Solved

    Mine mounted up with no issues. 1 1 1 1 FZ Bag supports and GIVI- M7. I also installed the PL-1 1 1 1. Double check the orientation of those 4 tabs that screw to the same holes your grab rail uses #2 and #3 on the parts list. Might have them in the wrong spot Remember that being a bit of a...
