    Wiring a replacement turn signal

    The right turn signal's wiring on my 2014 NC-700X has three wires, which I identify as Green, Blue, and Blue/White Stripe (I word it this way because I'm not sure of what the factory calls these colors). A few years ago I dropped the bike and installed (among a fair number of other things) a...

    2023: What did you do to/with your NC700/NC750 today?

    Yesterday (Monday 4/10/23) the 2014 NC-700X and I did one of my two standard loops on rural county roads, this one 72 miles... with some trepidation. Almost a month ago a deer leaped into my 2018 DCT Gold Wing (my "Oh Deer...Again" thread, with a photo, is on the 2018-and-later board) and...

    NC700X replacement battery... AGM?

    My local Battery Warehouse, with whom I've dealt for years (including 6v antique-car batteries), had a Powersonic PTZ12S at $80. I bought it, installed it, and fired up the NC. Pleasant sound. Thanks for the advice. This is a great group!

    NC700X replacement battery... AGM?

    After being away for 3 months, I charged the 2014 NC's (original) battery (at least the Sears charger "charged" light was steady), started the bike and rode 10 miles, then stopped for gas. Click-click, black screen... My jump battery was relaxing at home, where I wished I was, but a friend...

    Damage to handlebar end

    Wow, thanks, r3! The Partzilla pages for the 2014 NC700 and 2018 NC750 show the same part number. There must be a Private Message function here, though I've never used it.

    Damage to handlebar end

    After my 2014's 2020-Thanksgiving Day encounter with a deer (https://www.nc700-forum.com/threads/deer-damage.18171/) I keep finding more previously unnoticed damage. Trying to salvage the right (as one is seated on the bike) Givi handguard, I found the 6mm screw provided with the handguard...

    Deer damage

    Progress report: New fender, radiator, reflector, and right footpeg; right Givi handguard was patched up and is serviceable. The rear brake pedal was ground down a bit and is now awkward to use (a lot of ankle twisting is required) --- even more than normal, I mean. I probably should do...

    Deer damage

    Good suggestion. I've only wheeled it from the tow company's flatbed into the driveway, and the forks weren't obviously twisted. But I wondered what got pushed against that radiator. I'm pretty sure I did hit a deer squarely, so perhaps the forks were pushed back without being twisted. There...

    Deer damage

    Thanksgiving Day, the 2014 NC and I were heading home on a semi-rural two-lane road at about 45 mph when a group (herd?) of about 10 deer suddenly blasted into the road from right-side trees. There was absolutely nothing I could do. I remember a blur of white and brown, then lying on the road's...

    Suddenly, ads...

    Probably not the right place for this, really a computer question, but when I decided to look at my own post of a few days ago earlier this morning, this came up: Does someone know what's going on, and how to stop it? I tried closing and restarting Firefox to no effect. Looks like some kind of...

    2019: What did you do to/with your NC700 today?

    A short jaunt to pick up two states A couple of long tours from Baltimore on my 2014 NC-700X accumulated quite a few states for my signature map, but nearby states DE and NJ were still blank, so when the weather looked good yesterday I decided to pick them up. We left shortly after 9 AM...

    Replacement Battery

    Does anyone know about, or use, a Sears DieHard "Fully Automatic Battery Charger/Maintainer"? (Model 200.71219) It charges at 2A with 12v (and 4A with 6v, perhaps useful for my antique car). My Gold Wing battery can take a 2A rate but I don't know if the 2014 original NC battery will. Guess I'm...

    How many miles on your DCT?

    2014. Just over 19,000 miles.

    2018: What did you do to/with your NC700 today?

    Think it's $20... but I followed some advice months ago to get a lifetime Senior National Park pass and, amazingly, remembered to bring it.

    The PGM-FI "malfunction indicator lamp"

    On yesterday's Skyline Drive ride (I posted a brief report in the "What Did You Do Today" thread), when I fired up the 2014 NC after a lunch stop this warning light did not go out. After riding around the parking area a little it stayed on, so I parked it again to look more closely. Wiggling the...

    2018: What did you do to/with your NC700 today?

    SKYLINE DRIVE... A bit more than I bargained for, 438 miles yesterday. I should have checked the maps more carefully! From Baltimore I picked up 70 west to Frederick and 340 south to Front Royal, 115 miles in nearly 3 hours. Route 340 has traffic lights and towns (Berryville, I think, was...

    Turn signal replacement's short stud

    You bet, Garry. I'm not really happy about this "fix" but it was all I could figure out. With the stud and nut, and the wires passing through the other bushing, the turn signal is not likely dangerously to fall completely out. But I will keep an eye on it...

    Turn signal replacement's short stud

    Turn signals are a bit vulnerable. This tale might be useful to someone. After damaging my 2014's right front turn signal, I ordered a Chinese replacement, something like $19 for a pair. Pretty much identical to stock Honda, except for the (photo) shorter mounting stud. The broken original is...

    Bar end -- what do I need?

    Thanks for the advice. I tried a couple of measurements and there's no discernible difference between left and right. But I haven't ridden the bike yet to see how it tracks --- the lack of a RF turn signal and handguard aren't the problem, but I can only get a couple of fingers on that stub of a...

    Bar end -- what do I need?

    After my first accident I'm repairing the 2014 NC-700X. Not much damage; I must have slowed considerably from the 70 I last remember from the speedometer before spilling. Turn signal, footpeg, front brake lever, and this bar end. I think I can get that broken bolt out, and will eventually...
