Hmm, yeah, I don't think that's a known issue with AE, so it may have been user error. I'd never ridden one before this video, and during a couple of U-turns it behaved nicely. I kept it in 2nd when stopping/starting, per my buddy's suggestion. Seat time is the best trainer for anything new.

You are correct. It was a weird riding the AE at first, knowing I had to shift, but with no clutch lever to "feather" or feel the friction zone. The AE did a smooth job at slow speeds, especially when I kept it in 2nd gear when stopping (red light) and starting. And the power (as I knew from...

I agree. My previous FJR1300A was one of my favorite bikes during the past 45 years. Painful left-hand arthritis prevented further clutch-pulling and forced me into the NC DCT world... which has been wonderful. The "clutch-less" FJR1300AE I test-rode in the video is great, but it still requires...

I used to own a (manual transmission) Yamaha FJR1300A, but I've enjoyed my 2016 NC700X DCT for the past 5 years. A friend asked me if I'd like to ride his "clutch-less" FJR1300AE, and this video is the result.

Question: 112 or 114 length for replacement (520 pitch) chain for my 2016 NC700XD (DCT)? The local Honda dealer just told me 114 (after I reiterated my bike is a DCT, not standard), but I'm 99% sure I need 112 length. Thanks in advance!

I don't have much mechanical experience, so sorry if this question seems too basic. I want to install an inline taillight flasher (Vizi-Tek SupaBrake), but I don't know a) how to release the top tab to separate the two halves of the wiring connector, and b) whether or not the bottom of connector...

https://youtu.be/gF7Tr_E5jRU This 40-second video shows three items I just added to my 2016 Honda NC700XD: 1) a second Fiamm horn, 2) a headlight modulator and 3) a radiator guard. Two years ago I replaced the stock horn with (a relay and) a single, low-tone Fiamm horn. This second one is the...

MiG: Per my photo earlier in this thread, I have my 20" Madstad all the way down and tilted with top furthest toward rider. Ideal angle will depend on rider's torso length and riding position. I don't use risers. I'm 6'0", 32" inseam.

The light gray tint reduces glare a bit, while still maintaining excellent see-through of the road directly in front of the bike. I never considered clear. Madstad says light gray is the most popular choice also. (I've seen photos of the dark gray version... it looks like your bike's been...

Dress for the slide, not for the ride. Me: ATTGATT, meaning full leather jacket and pants (+ leather boots, gloves and FC helmet) all year 'round.

You can see the new Givi tank bag in this photo from my Dana Point ride today. Secure at 80+ mph speeds. Easy to access water bottle at red lights, etc. (Before this I used to leave my frunk ajar/unlocked for water bottle access. Now the frunk stays closed/locked.)

Silver: Well, if you SQUISH the Givi bag, I guess it would fit inside the frunk. I plan to keep stuff in both locations (frunk and tank bag). Yes, I saw Twisted Throttle as "out of stock" too. I ordered/paid, then a month or so later... voila! It arrives!

Red: Yes, and yes! Full access to fuel/frunk lock, and frunk opens as usual with bad attached. :-)

After a 2+ month backorder wait, I just received the new Givi EA116 tank bag from Twisted Throttle. It's designed to fit 2016+ NC700X/NC750X. It fits securely, looks good and detaches quickly so I can easily take my "stuff" into a restaurant, etc. I'm not a fan of panniers, so this new Givi...
