For years I have been in endless pursuit of ways to attenuating the aggrevating noise of my various motorcycles. I always kept the muffler stock. I have tried tall after-market wind screens. I have invested in $500 to $800 on helmets each. I have a pair of custom molded silicone earplugs. I...

Hybrid cars have their engine off while at red lights as do a few non-hybrid cars. This saves gasoline and reduces emissions. Since buying the NC750, I have adopted the habit of turning off the engine at a stop if I had entered the beginning of a red-green traffic cycle. I wanted to know if...

This thread is about how I have made my ride quieter by: 1) using an alternate arrangement for a laminar lip on a stock short screen, and 2) enhancing a quality helmet with a foam neck collar. MY TOUR I recently came back from a 5 day ride, covering 2400 km. This took me mostly through...

I went to my local Honda dealership and bought stuff so I can do my first 1000 km service: - Oil filter: Honda 15410-MFJ-D01 - 12 mm washer (flat machine type) - Motul 5100 10W40 oil I was surprised that the washer is a plain machine washer. Having only owned Yamaha bikes before, their OEM oil...

A couple weeks ago I road 500 kms on my new bike. It was all highway riding at about 120 kph. The trip revealed some discomfort for long rides, for my preferences. 1) Stock seat leans forward bit too much. It is uncomfortable. 2) The foot pegs are too high and back. It gave my legs slight...

As titled: Is rear shock adjustable? (There was no wrench in our bike's tool kit. This made me think the shock can't be adjusted. On the other hand, I see a pair of detent rings on the shock, typical of adjustability.)

I recently purchased an after-market wind screen. I wanted something taller than my stock screen on the NC700-S. My concern was how the taller screen should/could be fastened to the bike's mounting bracket. CONCERN The after-market screen utilized the 'well-fasteners' that are fitted on...

I needed to remove the side panel (called, 'shelter') so as to install some wiring. A service manual shows where some internal snap-tabs are located. I used that to aid me in the removal. To assist others, I am including photographs of the panel removal...

I installed this alarm in my new bike. All the modules fit in the cavity of the tail section, found after lifting the rear seat. Motorcycle Honda NC750-S (Canada) Alarm Maker: Scorpio Model: SR-i800 Modules MCM = Main control unit RFID = Microwave proximity sensor...

Can the NC750 do a wheelie? I have had powerful sportbikes but have never been skilled enough, or inclined, to execute a wheelie on them. So, even if the NC750 could, I don't think I could pull it off. Has anyone with a 700 or 750 been able to wheelie their bike?

This is my review of my new Honda NC750-S 2014, after one week. For the past four years I have been riding two bikes: Yamaha FZ1-2010 (1000 cc) and Vespa GTS-2010 (300 cc). The Yamaha (fitted with high windscreen and luggage) was used for highway touring, while the Vespa was used for urban...

I just bought my first Honda - NC750S. I will be riding it to Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada (think Alaska). It will be stored in an unheated garage over the winter, where the temperatures fall to -45 oC. Normal antifreeze/coolant is 50/50 mix of coolant and water. This mixture...
