Yes, I remember that almost the entire summer of 2012, before my NCXD came to my dealer in August 2012, I read probably all these stories in the motorcycle blogosphere. Forum in the UK was already in full bloom. I was curious what this "New Concept" could be. After some time, after learning more...

This is a 13-year-old joke that started with a response from one of Honda's engineers to the media's question about how the engine for the NC series of motorcycles was created. He said they cut the Honda Jazz (Fit) engine in half. This was enough of an explanation for many motorcycle...

I must admit that I was a little lost in your story about... charging the battery? One rhetorical question is about your theory about the battery charging system? Some modern vehicles have battery charge control systems to prevent overcharging. But, in this motorcycle, the battery is charged...

I think the problem started a long time ago with different interpretations of the definition of "Initialize Learning". I saw a suggestion quite a long time ago that "learning" should be interpreted as "gathering information". "Initialize" should be understood as it is, for example, in the...

I can only guess because I am not a specialist in PGM-FI engines. And Honda doesn't bother providing details. This is not their goal. But I think the main factor in determining the DCT shift point is the acceleration ratio and load demand. So, the throttle position changes in relation to time...

Yes, you are right. Starting the engine is required to allow oil pressure in the DCT system. This is needed to properly measure the voltage of the clutch pressure sensors. If it does not deviate from the assumed data, the analog voltage values are converted into digital values in the PCM and...

Your use of the word "apparently" is logical based on observations and information provided in the Honda Service Manual. It is not Honda's responsibility to educate how the system works in their DCTs used on their motorcycles. The "DCT System Diagram" shown in the Service Manual is a bonus...

It may be from coolant if it has accidentally spilled or leaked onto the surface of the engine block. Or it could be from humid air mixed with salt water. If you live relatively close to the ocean, many stormy weather events carry large amounts of seawater mixed with air. In one of your photos...

I would not like to start a discussion about the future of DCT again. There have already been such discussions. And statistics on world production are easily available. Only Honda in 2020 had the record of producing motorcycles in the world, over 20 million. Last year it was 18.7 million. Over...

It's a little strange that this is coming from you. You have been practicing hypermiling on your NC X for many years. (75.2 MPG. Wow!). And you certainly would not achieve lower fuel consumption results in NC DCT MT mode compared to AT mode. I have been driving vehicles with manual transmission...

I thought it would be easy for you to guess. I'll give you some clues in the form of pictures. In one photo, my wife, in a white hat, among the blooming azaleas, and in the other one, my wife waiting for a water organ concert. This is of course Rome and Villa d'Este.

For me this is already a routine trip. When spring comes, I like to spend my time on the famous steps among the blooming azaleas or listening to the organ fountain under the wisteria. And that incredibly blue sky.

Oh, believe me, I'm not worried anymore. In a month I'll be recharging my batteries under your sky.:cool:

My fault. I meant that on the Honda website you will find installation instructions for the accessories they installed for you at the dealer. That is, instructions for heated grips and USB charger. I don't think Honda sells anything like a power distribution module or power hub or power fuse...

Such instructions may be useful on how to connect to wire connectors. Here we can download instructions for installing Honda accessories from https://powersports.honda.com.

I haven't heard of Honda using a power distribution module, but I could be wrong. I only remember from the early years that I saw Honda instructions to connect heated grips to the Optional connectors. Now I see in the 2021 installation manual for OEM heated grips that they are connected to...

It's hard for me to answer this because I don't know the history of your motorcycle. If heated grips and USB-C port were installed by the dealer as additional options, the OEM instructions probably did not require a special power module. Were they installed at your request?

You never apologize for not knowing a specific topic or for asking questions. Apologize when you pretend to have knowledge and don't want to admit ignorance. During my stay in Italy, I noticed quite a lot of motorcycle and scooter repair shops. The modifications you want to make are quite...

You should answer this question yourself. All electrical devices allowed for sale must have information on the amount of electricity consumed. Based on this, you design your additional electrical circuit to safely provide power. This means protecting electrical wires and connections against...

At one point I wanted to respond to your request for help with my initial question about whether you were using pressure washing, which could have caused the problems you were having. But I gave up on asking because it seemed too obvious against doing such things. In almost every owner's manual...
