    2024: What did you do to/with your NC700/NC750 today?

    My wife and I mourned the loss of her 2013 NC700 DCT back in July 2023 that was totalled after a driver made a last second left turn in front of her and she center punched the front wheel of he SUV which caused her to slam into the front windshield pillar, deflect into the air about 7 feet off...

    Helmet fogging after installing Madstad

    I live in Seattle and ride all year, even on those rare occasions when the temps dip down into the teens. We get a lot of drizzling rain, so perfect conditions for fogging face shields when you add a big windshield. Like so many others, I've tried many products and by far the best is the...

    Good service from Xena (disk lock)

    Thanks for the report. Good to hear because I have one of their yellow locks with alarm and really like it. No problems so far after a few years of occasional use when I'm on the road. BTW, that alarm feature is good for more than protecting your bike. I used mine by sliding a piece of...

    Cleaning Mesh Riding Gear

    A front loading washer is like hand washing if you use the slower speed settings and much easier than actually hand washing. ;) I would highly recommend removing armor as a good general practice because some types of armor get ruined if washed. I bought a used Aerostich Roadcrafter suit that...

    Traffic controlled lights

    I'm a strong advocate of reporting defective traffic lights for a couple reasons. If a light doesn't trigger when a motorcycle is waiting, then it's defective. It's not practical to report lights when you are traveling out of town, but there's no reason to not do it for the ones you encounter...

    Almost became one with my NCX

    Glad you survived that! He was probably texting on his phone and not paying attention, which seems to be standard ops these days. :( If nothing else, riding a motorcycle makes you a much more defensive driver because of your vulnerability out there. I've taken to always looking in my mirrors...

    Brake disc lock - I'm an idiot

    Great minds think alike apparently. I also have the Remove Before Flight banner for use with my disc lock. My banner is 3 foot long and attached to the disc lock itself so that it drapes along the ground and hopefully won't get missed when I ride off. It's one of the ones with a motion alarm...

    Packing heated gear

    I have a set of Harley Davidson branded battery heated gloves that are made by Gerbings. Like SergeantChuck, I have them mainly for commuting and they work great for that. Mine put out lots of heat, but the battery in each glove only lasts about 45 minutes on high. That's no problem with my...

    Tacoma, wa

    Welcome from Bonney Lake! You'll usually see me on a FJR1300 around town, but I ride a NC700XD part time. It's a great bike!

    Can happiness be found with DCT?

    Although the NC700XD is my wife's primary bike, I do ride it occasionally. I have many 100's of thousands of miles on mostly sport bikes including my current FJR1300, but they've all been manual trani's. I must say that the DCT works very well and has been a God send for my wife with her bad...

    Oil Change

    The WD40 only leaves a light coating and doesn't sling off like chain lube can/does. Because the chain is permanently lubed and sealed with O-rings, the WD40 just stops the chain from rusting (which is why I always hit it after riding in the rain). Otherwise I lube every few hundred miles. By...

    replace brake light bulb

    JIS screwdrivers are "the bomb!" I wish I had known about them when I started wrenching on motorcycles over 30 years ago! My impact driver has seen a lot of use over the years due to stripped out screws. Now you can even get JIS bits to put in your impact driver to increase it's...

    Oil Change

    Motorcyclist magazine had an article on chain lubing years ago and I remember a chain manufacturer recommending WD40 for cleaning/lubing their o-ring chains. I can't find the original article, but did find this excerpt: Chain Lube . I used nothing but WD40 to clean and lube the o-ring chain on...

    Back pain

    I find that the upper back pain is from tension. To avoid this, I need to consciously keep my grip on the throttle loose because I tend to grip too tightly when riding in a spirited manner or in stressful traffic situations. Another important trick is to use the Master Yoda riding position...

    Automatic and Cruise Control

    I have a Audiovox CCS 100 installed on my FJR1300. It's very nice on those long freeway trips, but I try to avoid those as much as possible in favor of twisty back roads. ;) It's a very involved job installing one of those on a bike. I briefly looked at the NC700, but decided there were too...

    motorcycle specific dash camera

    The wife and I have been using the Sena SMH10 Bluetooth communicators on our helmets since they came out with that system years ago. I see that they now have a very slick looking communicator with HD camera built in: 10C - Sena That's what I'll be buying down the road when it comes time to...

    Denali DM1 Auxiliary lighting... Too bright?

    Another lower cost dimmer option is available from ADV Monster: Waterproof Wireless LED Dimmer with High Beam Bypass - ADVmonster I haven't installed it on the NC yet, but did test it on the bench and it works great. The remote is used to set the lower power level for normal running and then the...

    Re-key Honda panniers

    I live pretty close to Olympia and now have your key code. What was your home address again? :) LOL I bought the OEM panniers and top box for the wife's 2013 NC700 for self install. The ignition key didn't seem to work with the top box, so I opted for keying the top box and both panniers to...
