+ 1 on the oil filter pliers. Fits em all, apply as much or as little effort as you need. Have had one for years and use it on all my spin-ons.

Nitrile glove - inside of an old sock (or rag if I’m out of socks) and gear oil. Wipe the chain down. Never needed a brush.

105? 125?? Well, y’all just wave as you go by. I’m just happy as a clam poking along and taking in the sights. I think somebody all ready said it, but the NC is just a great “all-round” ride. It has something for everyone. Even those speed demons!

To me, the slotted rails on the frunk lid of the 2016 models was a smart innovation. I don’t understand why Honda dropped that feature. The dedicated bag that was made for it in the aftermarket worked great. A small tank bag really does come in handy on a trip. Even with the frunk.

Makes a body wonder…. I would never have thought of mine as being easy to roll off the center stand. It takes a pretty good bit of oomph,

It ain’t a great idea whatever road yer on… but sheesh….

What passes for journalists and news these days is a joke… I can just see the control freaks in the legislature rubbing their hands together at the prospect of a new bill to curb this threat to society Hopefully the kiddies in the back seat were appropriately strapped into their rear-facing...

That is why I always apply the brakes in this situation to give the engine braking some assistance. I wouldn’t normally allow the bike to just continue to the bottom of the hill un-assisted by me on the brakes - knowing that the hill is too steep for the bike to completely and adequately hold...

Neutral before shutting off saves some work for the battery the next time you turn the key on. And if the battery happens to choose that next start-up to say “nope, it ain’t happenin’”, at least you’ll already be in neutral and able to move easily.

+1^ That dduelin... wise man, he is :cool:

No doubt about it. He’s gonna stick the landing..

These hills are just what you’re looking for. ;-) I’m certain that if the DCT was ever going to shift on its own while coming down a mountain it would have done so rather than screaming along at almost 4500rpm in second gear. I don’t know about “incline sensors”, I really haven’t read up on all...

Let’s see if this helps. To leave or enter the area where we live there are two very steep and very long hills. It’s the low mountainous region around Birmingham. After reading your question, I’ve made it a point to see just what the DCT does in D mode if “left to its own device”. Normally as I...

Holy crap. That sucks. Thank goodness for the brain bucket - avoided some serious ”tissue damage”... Get better and go shopping

Interesting study by FortNine on this subject...

Welcome Steve! Very happy for you!. I‘m certain you’ll enjoy the NC. Hope I can one day slip down your way for a ride. Happy Holidays :cool:

Welcome newbie! We were all newbies once :cool:

Check the easy stuff first and the area most recently “touched”. With the symptoms you describe, my money is on the battery terminals. Disconnect the terminals. Clean them and the cable ends up with a wire brush. Re-attach and get em tight.

One thing for sure, using the clips will sure shorten the installation time. I may have been a little too meticulous with the rivet install as I measured numerous times while mushrooming the rivets. No regrets, but it took considerable time and patience.

Nice.. worries over... The Mobile Tech visit went well?
