Fred, The kill switch only kills the engine. The rest of the bike gets normal power. You still have to turn the key off to save your battery.

Agreed, the 2016 NC700 is probably programmed better/smoother with the additional sport modes, but the 2012-2015 Nc700s are the same in the US. I don't think the brand new one is worth the 8-9k premium over buying a used 2012/2013.

I use MRW highway pegs from Twisted Throttle. About $120 and it does use a U bolt design to fit multiple bar sizes, but it is black, and does lock in the upwards position.

Installed some MFW footpegs this weekend on my SW Motech crash bars. I was starting to get cramped up after 3-4 hours of riding, although my Shad seat made a big improvement.

If you don't mind a slightly smaller box, a box from a PCX150 will also bolt to the NC700. Honda Top Box 35L One Key System Type Honda PCX150 | eBay

Installed the MRA sport X-creen visor. At 65-75 mph I get buffeting with the stock Touring windscreen, I am hoping the visor will help with that. Will get to try it out this weekend as I go on a 500 mile trip of mostly interstate.

I ran mine like Chuck as well, just hanging loose in front of the ignition.

only (slightly) off topic, but has anyone had any issues with the parking brake losing tension after repeated use? I've had to adjust it rather frequently on mine. Could it be an issue with a fraying cable perhaps?

It is listed in your owners manual.

Potter, search ebay for an 8M4991 CAT O-ring.

Use a long key, just take a hacksaw to it to make it shorter to fit a low profile knob :)

When I did mine, I ended up taking the right side plastics off to get to the top shock bolt. Couldn't figure out how to finangle anything in there under the plastic. The bottom of the shock and linkages were pretty self explanatory. The plastics are only held on by something like 6 allen bolts...

I hope you are kidding. I started out riding scooters. I wave to everyone, scooters or harley. we are all on two wheels, and are all just as likely to get smashed by the Suburban who is texting and not paying attention. No need to hate just because a scooter rider prefers a CVT trans and built...

I use the same Model 21 LEDs and I have the older Skene IQ-175 controller, and I don't get any flicker at all on my 2012 NC when the engine is running. it almost sounds like a bad connection somewhere?

Is it red? if so, normal.
