Sena attachment to the clamp mount is a fragile piece of plastic. I have had two Sena 10s devices that broke off the attachment tab and they are not fixable. I wonder why Sena does not have a device that clamps over everything and keeps it on the helmet—even if you accidentally brush the tab...

It may be poorly selling but I never see one on the showroom floor in any of the dealerships around me here in Northern California.

1. Extend the front fender downward. 2. Provide a tall screen as standard equipment. 3. Provide heated handgrips as standard. 4. Provide a 12v Socket inside the trunk as standard. 5. Make the seat as comfortable as the one on the NT1100. 6. Provide Cruise Control as standard. 7. Provide a...

Per normal, I have no perfect ideas about where to hide a key on a motorcycle. I do have two ideas to impart about key management. One, the key goes in the front pocket of your riding pants. Two, if you use a hotel safe to store your passport, place the key with the passport. Never store a...

After reading your general description I believe you might find that the Africa Twin would check all he boxes. Especially being 6 5 you would probably like the seat in high position and a small tank bag to replace the forward trunk. I had both a 750 and an AT and in the end I stick with the 750...

You might turn blue holding your breath on this one. I have called Honda dealers and received nothing but telephonic blank stares in response. I would be first in line to order one but that opportunity may never come. I guess I should do the 16,000 mile service, install a new chain, check valve...

I am thinking about it but it remains a ghost bike here in the USA. I have a feeling that we may never see it. I was in Europe in July and August 2022 and I saw a few on the road. Very enticing. I have a 2018 NC DCT and I just sold a 2018 Africa Twin DCT base model with slightly over 16,000...

I am growing skeptical that the NT will ever come, especially because getting a new bike approved for the street is so expensive. I hope Honda sees the light and decides to do some meaningful tweaks to the NC750X DCT. Adding to the 2022 model I could see an emphasis on a slightly longer front...

I had a similar problem. On a trip I stopped at a roadside pullout and everything up to then had been just fine. When I got up to leave I had a dead dash, no lights, nothing. I fiddled around with the terminals and everything perked up so I put it down to just gremlins. When I got home from this...

Also, make sure your electrical connections at the battery terminals are bright and tight...DCT won't work otherwise. Learned this the hardway.

I stopped by a Honda dealer in Santa Rosa, California and asked them if they had heard anything about the NT1100 becoming available. The look on one salesman's face revealed that he not only did not know the answer to the question, he had never heard of the bike at all. I have a feeling that it...

Do the cheap and easy stuff first. Would be a bummer to tear into things and then find out the fix was easy. There are YouTube videos on the DCT reset. Believe me, this is very effective. I also recommend making a quick check of your battery terminal connections. Both of the things I just...

I might just wish for a few tweaks to the NC750x DCT models. Throttle by wire. cruise control, heated hand grips, centerstand, 12v socket in the trunk AND on the outside somewhere, a slightly larger tank (by a gallon or so) and the 750 would be a serious competitor to this new bike. We may not...

Double check that you have tight clean battery connections and that the terminal screws are compressing the connectors completely.
