i have a 2017 DCT and it works great, no known problems. i just drove up to glacier point in Yosemite with my wife and no issues at all.

But my driveway is quite steep, not crazy, UPS truck gets up here, but its a hill for sure. I always go manual in 1st and by myself no problem, but with my wife on the back its doing something weird with the throttle,, i think its the traction control , i think i see a T think come up on the dash. Its hard to say, my driveway is curvy and gravelly so i have to watch where I'm going.

Should I do something with the traction control switch? i actually have no idea what it does?

thanks

sometimes out of laziness i drop the side stand while in drive (i have a DCT). this cuts the engine of course which is fine. is there anything bad about that? i assume the bike computer figures it out and goes into neutral before killing the engine?

hi all, in the past I've used a mini PA system to listen to music while i drum, but that makes something loud, even louder. i know a lot of people use headphones or in ear monitors but they block and muffle the sound of the drums.

i'm looking for a way to hear my drums without muffling but also hear music to play along with. something like headphones that don't completely cover my ears or something else?

any ideas, what do you all do? thanks

is it safe to put the weight of the bike on the engine sump? if not, how to jack it up?

I changed my mind, i ordered this instead

i'm worried about damaging the sump

AI says EBC Brakes FA196 but amazon is saying it doesn't fit.

any idea?

i was looking for a tank bag with a phone window thing on amazon but they all seem to be made for regular bikes. as you all know the nc750 has a plastic thing on the frunk to tie a bag down, is there a bag on amazon that fits? thx

Hi, I'm a 66 y.o. guy just getting back into climbing. I live in Groveland and plan to go climbing every week, mid week to avoid the crowds (yep, I know, it's Yosemite, no such thing). anyhow if anyone local is into some easy 5.6 or so climbing please let me know. Thanks Steve

using this https://www.easternbeaver.com/honda-nc750-nc700/#elementor-toc__heading-anchor-11

but its kinda expensive with shipping. is there a US stocked alternative? otherwise i guess i'll just splice into the cables.

for 50 years I've been resting my left hand fingers on the clutch lever while ridding, now I don't have one and its making my left hand cramp up. I'm wondering about putting a fake clutch lever on. has anyone else done that?

(i just ordered one on amazon, see how it works out)

first real ride today, hard to beat this one. I'm getting used to the weird gear shifting on mountain roads. I'm having to switch to sport up hill and drive down hill and the using manual override a lot. why Honda couldn't have make a better algorithm on the DCT I don't know! still, great bike.

Just picked up my new cherry red bike, love the color. I'm a bit surprised how it feels like a tractor, I was expecting it to be much smoother. Is that normal? Cruising at 55 in 6th you can really feel the thumping. Sure I can go into sport mode or drop a gear but that doesn't feel right.

Maybe I'm just not used to it yet. What do you think?

BTW, i just check the oil and it seems over filled, it's about 2-3mm above to top of the flat area when i hold the bike upright. should i try drain some oil?

Hi, I'm looking for a lift from Groveland to the bay area (BART station would be great) any time in the next week or so , April 27th onwards. I'm happy to contribute $30 towards gas.

I'm a older guy, going to pick up a motorcycle in San Jose, no bags, just me and a bike helmet.

Pls PM me if you can give me a ride.

Thanks, Steve
