Thanks Janus. This is enlightening. Never too old to learn.

I'm happy to report that I found the problem and have fixed it. Thanks to @Scorpio54, this post was very helpful: https://www.nc700-forum.com/threads/nc700x-ignition-total-failure.17832/post-227382 I had precisely the same problem with the same wires - corroded and perished.

Maybe I'm just ignorant. Maybe mine has fuel injection too? I just removed the entire air filter and cleaned the thing that looks like a carburetor. I haven't seen any injectors on this bike, maybe they're hiding somewhere...

Nope, no modifications. This model (2013) comes standard with a carb. There are no fuel injectors - just spark plugs and a good old carburetor. The fuel injector systems must have been introduced in later models. But this will not affect power to the ignition.

Hi. I just disassembled the entire luggage compartment to inspect and clean the carb. This included removing the battery. After putting everything back together, there is absolutely no power to the ignition. I have checked all the fuses, including the 30A fuse at the starter relay - all fine...

The sound is audible all the time (once the engine heats up), both in neutral and through all the gears. However, it seems to go quieter when revs are over 3500rpm. I'll post an audio/video. I removed the tensioner for inspection on Monday. Both tensioner and chain look to be in good order. So...

Thanks guys for your responses. @showkey, I have done the test with the clutch you have suggested as other posts with similar noise problems likewise suggested this test. However, this makes no difference to the noise level. @Griff & @HarveyM, I am also suspecting tensioner failure before...

Hi there folks I recently bought a NC700X (2013) which has 55000km on the clock. I'm hearing a mild knocking noise after the engine warms up. A motorcycle mechanic in my area diagnosed the problem to be a stretched/worn timing chain. Does anyone out there know what the normal service intervals...

Thanks for the welcome. I have the 6-speed manual transmission.

Hi there guys I just bought a second hand NC700X 2013. I'm loving it. I live in Cape Town, South Africa. I've been riding since 10 years old (38 now). My last 'real' bike was a Suzuki GS500E which I sold in 2004 and bought a 1300cc custom built 3-wheeler. I only got back on 2 wheels 2...
