    DCT Transmission Clunky

    not, according to most articles I read (since I was about 4 years old when it was released), you could leave the 750 in high gear all day long and never use the low gear at the expense of slower acceleration ability. The same applies for the other "true automatic" torque converter big bike of...

    DCT Transmission Clunky

    Having studied automatic transmissions out of personal obsession I can tell you that modern automatic transmissions monitor and estimate the rate of engagement of their internals that is affected by the general wear level along oil pressure/temperature/viscosity etc and and do self adjust their...

    DCT Transmission Clunky

    I have not gone extensively through the answers and never owned an NC (yet) but please allow my view: Since you got a new bike, give it some time for the DCT controller to adjust itself as it estimates clutch wear and rate of engagement over time and self-adjusts accordingly (I am not talking...

    Losing One Cylinder

    I'd say that 5% is too low to be considered any different out of a lab... Now, 1mm-1.1mm is the gap mentioned in the greek NC700 owner's manual so you should get pretty much away from this number to have weak fuel failing to ignite or have any weak coil symptoms show up - when the driving...

    ABS & DCT Question

    tape and mud should not pose any real problem if the hall sensor's embedded magnet is OK in health (strength) - I guess there is a small rod magnet providing the field and a sensor glued one end - as the metal holes pass by they disrupt the field and this disruption is what the (usually dual...

    Sound from engine area

    If you do the oil change grab the old filter and disect it to see if anything is in there also install magnetic drain plugs just in case - they have saved people in the DR650 world from freed screws from this bike's NSU design defect

    Sound from engine area

    My guess is that a some tiny shrapnel was the reason and it now resides in the oil filter. If no peculiar sound at all now and all is 100% percent back to normal, particularly regarding gearbox and clutch operation I would suggest you do an oil & filter change and just be careful over the next...

    Sound from engine area

    +1 Continuing my amateurish guesswork: In the video the bike stands in Neutral and the clutch is released. So no movement in the secondary shaft of the gearbox and following parts to cause this sound: The source of the noise can only be from the primary shaft and rotating parts before it. If...

    3/4 Helmet Opinions

    most probably great damage to jaw and who knows what else but there are always those surgeon artists to fix things up, if you can source the $$ that is... - some rotten internet places have graphic pictures of such terrifying accidents - but surely not "dead on that obscure front impact" while...

    3/4 Helmet Opinions

    Note that there is one very particular (and rare) case of impact that a 3/4 helmet gives better chances of survival than a full face helmet. I remember reading a research in the mid-90s on unlucky riders that where carried DOA while wearing seemingly intact full gear (I think in Germany): A...

    Losing One Cylinder

    modern cars usually use the plugs not only as a spark producing mechanism but also as a sensor by providing a bias voltage (80V?) and checking the conductivity that is affected by the presence of combustion related charged particles to check (and adjust) for pre-ignition knocking or for misfire...

    Losing One Cylinder

    wiring issues could just be plugs needing to be removed and reattached to their matching sockets a couple of times as friction can fix eroded metal contacts
