As it happens I do have Hepco and Becker crash bars and when I fitted them I recognised that this would be a weak point in the plot. This is why I was monitoring the situation and had a new cable on order. Sorry for the delay, the bike is so reliable a seldom come onto the forum. Mike

With all due respect this is not the answer to the question. The question was are the clutch cables on the 700X the same as those on the 750X? As you may surmise by now the question is academic as the issue has been fixed. The problem was that the clutch cable started to fray just inside the...

Hi Guys, 2 questions. First does anybody know if the clutch cable for a 700x is the same as the 750x? The reason I ask is that Venhill show that they have cables for the 700x but not the 750x but the same cable is listed as being suitable for the 750s. Second question, where can I get a...

My speedo head was changed at 2800 miles after it was resetting all the time. No problem since. It goes in tomorrow to have the starter solenoid replaced under a recall.

Hi, My 2014 NC750XA has a bit of a flat spot at around 3000 rpm. The bike has done just over 14000 miles in the last year but I noticed this hesitation some while ago. Anybody else experienced this? Bike goes in to have the starter solenoid replaced under recall in the morning. Mike

Thanks for that guys. I'll look into these cans. I have a friend who is having a new tank made for a Ducati Monster 900 outfit so his contact may be able to make one. Just got to convince the insurance company and find out how the warranty would be affected.

Normally it is fine but I think that for touring on the continent it a bit small. I think there is plenty of room to make the tank fatter as there is a massive gap between the tank and the back wheel and I think there is space under the seat as well. I am thinking of a carrier on the back of one...

Hi, Does anybody know if there is an aftermarket fuel/gas tank available for the NC750X. Even though the bike is very good on gas the tank is still a bit small to give a comfortable 200 mile range when loaded with panniers and doing highish speeds on the motorways of Europe. I'd like a bigger...

I bought mine the end of last September. Before that I had a 700 Deauville which I put 50k miles on in a little over 4 years. I do a bit of long distance touring so need a bike that I can ride for 100 miles or so at a stretch. The NC750X lets me do that. It is not the fastest machine in the...

Check out the tyre wear and have a word with the dealer. My dealer asked me to phone Honda support and get a case number which I then took back to the dealer. They then photographed the tyres to show how worn they were. They contacted Honda and Honda replaced the Dunlops with Pirelli Scorpions...

Hi Logic_28. Good luck with your claim for tyres now. You will probably find that you had to claim at the time as Honda required the dealer to take photgraphs of the tyres. They did with mine. My tyres were almost worn out at 2000 miles but by the time everything got sorted out I had managed to...

Mine had a recall for the speedo trip fix. Had a letter from Honda yesterday. The dealer had the kit today and rang me. When I got there they discovered there was also a recall for the cubby box lock cam. This was fixed at the same time. I wasn't even aware of a problem but opening the lid was a...

I have had a result. Eventually Honda and my dealer agreed to replace BOTH tyres. This was done on Wednesday. I now have a set of Pirelli Scorpion tyres fitted. Lets see how long these last. On a different note I have had a problem with the trip meter not updating correctly. Honda have now...

I am calling into the dealers tomorrow on the way home from work. Now armed with the ticket number they will replace the tyre.

I have just rung Honda about this today as my NC750X has worn the rear tyre out at just over 2000 miles. I dropped into the dealer yesterday and they told me to ring Honda Care and get a number and take that back to the dealer. The dealer will then photograph the tyre and replace it. I think...
