Howdy. If you haven't already, you should check out Two Wheeled Texans: TWT Forums - Powered by vBulletin Lots of Central Texas group rides formed there.

I own both and a VFR1200X, all DCT. Despite the fact that the NC700X and AT might be close on the scale does NOT translate to the "feel" weight of the two bikes. If I had no idea about bike weights, I'd guess my AT weighed 100 - 150 lbs. more than my NC700X just going by feel alone. Plus...

Yeah, but in reality though, when exactly does a 19" wheel trump a 17" wheel? I've had my NC700X on some fairly rough roads and haven't noticed a huge difference. What are people rolling over on their CB500X's that they need 2 more inches to make it? If its just marketing, then I get it...

What do you feel you gain in advantage going from a 17 to 19 inch wheel?

Interesting news. The site seems to be down.

It's actually 74cc diff. 745 vs. 671. I'm curious in the speed difference as well. I've heard the 750's are geared differently though, not sure if its accurate or not.

"There is no replacement for displacement" My 2012 NC700X (671cc) tops out at 94mph My 2016 Africa Twin (999cc) tops out at 117mph My 2016 VFR1200X (1237cc) top out at... I'm too scared to find out.

I developed a fork seal leak over the weekend on my 2012 NC700X at 6700 miles. Tried using a fork seal cleaning tool to no avail. Taking the bike in tomorrow to get both fork seals replaced. Are there any boots or protective socks for the NC700X that I can install to prevent this from...

Does anyone know what the S setting on a 2012 NC700X equates to on one of the newer NC700X's with multiple S modes?

Mine is at the shop for it now.

It does kind of sound like that. I don't ride the bike a lot so I'm not entirely sure it wasn't doing it already. Thanks. I'll lube the chain just in case that might be a factor as well.

I did 250+ miles on the NC700X today and towards the end of the day, I started noticing a noise that I hadn't heard before coming from the bike. Every time I would accelerate, roll the throttle, I would hear a squeaking noise that seemed to continue as long as I held the throttle. If I...

I'm a DCT person, so therefore a Honda person.

If I was going to pick one seat manufacturer to make me a seat that is 2-3 inches taller than stock (and hopefully more comfortable as well) which one would you recommend?

Thanks for all the tips. If I was going to pick one seat manufacturer to make me a seat that is 3 inches taller than stock, which one would you recommend?

How long does it take to swap out the stock saddle for a taller aftermarket one? Wondering if I can buy an aftermarket saddle and just interchange them depending on who is riding that day.

I crashed my KLR two weeks ago after coming around a blind corner and finding a wet, wooden bridge. Bike disappeared from under me before I knew what happened. KLR hooked on the bridge runner and went straight down the bridge and skidded to a stop down the road. I skipped off the side of the...

I have an Africa Twin and KLR and both of these bikes fit my size (6'+, 260lbs) well. This seems to be in large part to having a taller seat height, lower foot pegs and longer, flatter seats. When i sit on my daughter's DCT NC700X, I love the powerplant, but I just don't fit on the bike well...

Still liking that bike? I bought a used CRF250L and sold it 6 weeks later. Just wasn't the bike I was hoping for. Ended up buying a KLR650 in the meantime until 500cc Africa Twin DCT drops.

Getting some Shinko 805's and a SW-Motech skid plate added to my daughter bikes (NC700X DCT) this week. She says she's ready to play in the dirt some. I'm interested to see what it feels like with a 17" knobby off pavement.
