Somebody rode with the brake on. The 750 motor has a lot of torque. Don't ask how I know.Anybody know the cross referencing Number for

It also suggests the Honda brake is rather weak, that one could ride with the brake on and not know it.Somebody rode with the brake on. The 750 motor has a lot of torque. Don't ask how I know.

That is exactly what I’ve heard about the NC DCT parking brake. It seems like a less than well thought out design.The parking brake works just fine for its intended purpose, It wont stop the bike while riding.
Because it is a mechanically operated mechanism. Maybe someone has already made an electronically controlled parking brake mechanism for motorcycles, as in many modern vehicles....I always wondered why the NC was designed in such a way that it can be ridden with the brake on.
The 3 other other machines I described in post #8 all have mechanically operated parking brakes, as is the NC’s. They are all either automatic transmission or have no transmission. The Zero has no left hand brake. The NC stands alone as the one out of four that I’m familiar with, where the bike can be ridden with the brake on.Because it is a mechanically operated mechanism.

I think Honda decided to design the parking brake in such a way to meet the requirements for automatic motorcycles. Many countries do not allow a left-handed rear brake, as in scooters, and this would probably simplify the parking brake mechanism.
Okay, my fault. I wasn't paying close attention. I thought you were asking why the parking brake mechanism is not disengaged automatically when starting from a standstill.The 3 other other machines I described in post #8 all have mechanically operated parking brakes, as is the NC’s.

The DCT Goldwing uses the same design, Its a Honda thing.That is exactly what I’ve heard about the NC DCT parking brake. It seems like a less than well thought out design.
On both our old Honda Reflex 250 scooter, and on my Zero DSR, those bikes will not move at all with the parking brakes engaged. Even the Zero’s high torque motor can’t overcome the strong parking brake.
The way our Honda Ruckus parking brake is designed, it is going to release when you start the engine, and you can’t ride away with the brake on. You have to squeeze the brake lever to be able to engage the starter. When you squeeze the brake lever, it disengages the parking brake.

Ahhh so there is an adjustment.I dunno … I’ve ridden off a couple times with the parking brake on in the 8 years I’ve had my 2015 DCT. I’ve noticed it pretty quickly, but it certainly wasn’t crazy obvious it was on based on the bike’s behavior.
At least on my bike, if the brake is adjusted as the manual indicates - so that the lever aligns between the two marks when engaged - it grabs just enough to keep the bike from rolling but will certainly allow you to ride off with it on. I’ve set mine much tighter so it is VERY noticeable if you try to ride off when it’s on.
Very easy adjustment too.Ahhh so there is an adjustment.
