    DCT Low Oil

    I did it myself and put in just shy of 1 gallon. I even just rechecked the container to make sure that it was 1 gallon. When I changed the oil, it was just slightly over the full line. I have now put checking the oil level more often on my things to do list.

    DCT Low Oil

    I bought a new 2016 DCT in August of last year. I performed the 600 mile service in October. I now have little over 1,700 miles. The DCT was shifting with a clunk last night so this morning I checked the oil level and it wasn't even registering on the stick. I am not seeing any oil on the...

    Top Box Recommendations for 2016 NC700X

    I have the same bike. I put a GIVI Outback 42L black box on it. I installed the GIVI rack for it but as I understand it SW-Motech does have an adaptor for a GIVI top box.

    How NOT to do Post-Winter Maintenance!!!

    I feel your pain. Over the winter I decided to 1) Add my own 12 volt socket to the frunk. Installed no problem. Glad Honda put a mark in the place to drill the hole…. Otherwise I am sure I would have messed this up. 2) Now decided to install Rox 2" riser. After I got the handlebars...

    How to buy a helmet?

    I agree with dduelin. The first few rides were without earplugs and my ears would ring when I finished the ride. I purchased a set of NoNoise earplugs and haven't had an issue since. I can still hear what is going on around me except now the wind noise is gone. Wish I would have used them to...

    Turn signal switch problem

    I wonder if you maybe some dirt got inside of the housing and is occasionally blocking it. If you do have to replace it, it is relatively inexpensive. When I had to replace mine, it was $35 and that was with the DCT controls.

    Test Ride DCT in San Diego?

    I purchased a 2016 DCT in August of last year without test driving a DCT. It is fantastic! Even though it will shift for you, you have paddles on the left grip that you can manually override the computer. So if you want to pass, you can downshift. If you want to engine brake, downshift...

    NC700X DCT for First Time Rider?

    I purchased a leftover 2016 DCT in August of 2017 for $7,600 out the door. Just ask the dealer if there are any leftover models at the warehouse. A dealer in St. Louis was selling some leftover 2014's in August as well. Make sure when you are dealing with a dealer that you are getting the out...

    NC700X DCT for First Time Rider?

    If you are looking at a Honda adventure type bike in 1200cc then the only one that I am aware of is the VFR1200X. It does come with manual or DCT. From what I have gathered from the people who own them or have test driven them (I have not test driven it) is that they are extremely heavy...

    NC700X DCT for First Time Rider?

    Ultimately the answer is yes. However it is not solely because I got a motorcycle. In the beginning of July, a friend I was riding with went around a corner wide, exited the road, wrecked his bicycle, and died right in front of me. Since then my desire to ride has been less and I struggle to...

    NC700X DCT for First Time Rider?

    You sound exactly like me. I purchased the NC as my first motorcycle ever in August of 2017. Going from riding my bicycle 3,000+ miles/year (I still ride my bicycle) to riding a motorcycle has been an easy transition. I have found the DCT to work flawlessly and it has allowed me to focus on...

    Funny eBay deals

    I purchased a Hotwire jacket for $9 including shipping because the battery didn't come with it. The controller came with it and that is all that I needed to connect to the SAE cable on the bike.

    Rough engine and vibration

    Mine will lug in 6th gear at low rpm's. I just use the manual paddles to shift it into 5th gear and it becomes smooth as butter.

    Electrical Connector

    I am trying to install the Smart Turn Signal. I am needing access to the wires coming from the controls on the left handlebar. The wires are in a very tight space and I have traced them to this connector. If I can get the connector disconnected, I can move the wire temporarily and gain easier...

    Risers

    I have a 2016 DCT. The parking brake cable wasn't even close to being long enough for the 2" risers. I am going to have to check with a local shop about getting a longer cable.

    Couple questions for DCT owners

    I bought a left over '16 in August of this year. I love the thing. Just wish it would warm up some so I can ride it. I drive it in D mode 100% of the time. My dealer said to keep it in D mode during the break in period, so I did. Now I just go with it in D mode to get the max economy. I...
