I just finished adjusting valves at 16000 miles on my 2013 DCT and found all but three just enough tight that I adjusted them to spec. I also had checked them at 8000 miles and all were in spec. Given how easy a task it is (especially if you have a friend with a motorcycle lift!!) you should...

Understand, thanks! BudK

I had a GIVI and a Cee Baily 22" which was good except for too much air flow/turbulence around the sides.. My comment about cutting noise by 50% would be more accurate by saying that it "cut noise AND TURBULENCE by 50%.. BudK

Its a 20", Chuck! BK

Likewise, dd. I supose it would be bothersome at night..haven't tried that yet. dd, on your cover that you made for the gap under the windscreen that leads back to the speedo housing... Is the cover attached to the windscreen mounting bolts under the Madstad??? Or how? Also, has this made any...

Well the Madstad came well packed with all parts included! The install was straight forward and I am very impressed with the product quality and engineering! One nice touch; Madstad bags nuts/bolts/washers in different colored bags that match colored instructions! I have ridden two rides...

Thanks Misterk, I am looking forward to mine and will post up a report soon!

dduelin, I bought my 2012 NC700X in Sep of 2012 and rode it a bit over 3000 mi before riding a DCT demonstrator at GOAZ here in Scottsdale. I fell for the DCT for many of the same reasons that you have mentioned as well as considering the arthritis in my hands and trying to prolong my ability...

Ronsaw, Good comment! I wondered about this , but DMC has successfully put their cars on 650cc bikes. Their cars are about 200 lbs. There is added drag and weight, but a sidecar rig is not a sport bike ..it is a compromise, like all bikes... My need would be urban errands, day rides and...

Sidecar I too am interested in putting a side car on my 2013 700X DCT. Some age induced and vertigo problems have caused me to research some ways to keep riding if I am forced to in the near future. I also have a 2011 Ural T that I have used mostly for off road. The 700 is such a pleasure in...

Agree with Bruce!! Bought my 2013 DCT new, April '13. Now have 9587 miles. No problems. BudK

Me too! :-)

I have been using this solution for a year or so now. It works really well for me! I did NOT cut the key, but just JB welded the whole key in. This allows the key to still be used in the ignition if necessary! It does stand up from the frunck lock about half an inch but has not caused any...

Frunk? DCT? ABS? MPG? :rolleyes: BudK

After going thru many of the same comments that have been posted in this thread, I like to tell folks that the NC700 is the only "Sensible" motorcycle that I know! :)
