2016: What did you do to/with your NC700 today?

[peergum]

A Genuine Wal-Mart fix for the battery low problem can be purchased at any Wal-Mart you are near.

Schumacher Red Fuel - works great on a motorcycle. About the size of a cell phone, so packs easy. Bingo - fixes battery
problems when on road with no one's help. Also, charges Iphone and tablet. Especially made for us folks who leave our key on! A must have for DCT owners who can not push start their motorcycles.

Remembered your post today and bought it at Walmart. A good $50 bucks or so well used. No battery drained issue for me in the future [emoji1]

I bought one too. It would be better with the ability to charge from bike, but only comes with 120V AC charger so have to charge at home.

Ditto. I bought one, too. Strangely, prices vary widely. I see them as high as $80. I bought one, sealed box, $35 on eBay.

Lubed the chain, checked tire pressure and went for a ride in 40F weather.

I went for the worst ride of my life this morning. I got up early, and went to the toilet in my bedroom out of habit. Being I had my knee replaced a few days ago, and no one was home but me, I got a long ride on that toilet. 4 hours later my wife retuned from shopping. Don't know which hurt worst, the throbbing in my knee, or the throbbing in my wallet?

My UBS port in the frunk has stopped working for some reason, so I have been using my smallish 12v dc to 120v ac inverter lately to charge my cell, iPad, and auxiliary XP-10 battery. I've been surprised that they have charged much quicker using their 120v ac plug chargers this way than before using their UBS chargers cords. Not sure of the amps right now, but the inverter is only about 4" x 6" x 2", bought it probably a decade ago.

Costco has a different brand but same device for the same price and a better return policy

Is that the honda usb port or a aftermarket? The honda usb has a one amp inline fuse, slow charging devices and easy to blow the inline fuse

I think Honda only has the 12v accessory plug option, not a USB option. But to answer the question, no on both. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YX7AQOQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

Ok yeah I was having a brain fart there. I has the honda cigarette outlet and it sucked so I bought the same cigarette and usb outlet combo you got and I wired up both from the battery with a on/off switch for each, my usb outlet only lasted a couple of weeks the guts inside vibrated loose I think I bought another usb outlet that was sold by itself and glowed when it has power if I can find it I'll post a link

Another great trip today though I almost got cold a couple times and my mirrors were fogging up. Open-face most of the time though!

I suck all the power I can suck. Guess I am an electrical vampire. Direct to battery with the 15 fuse each with 5 devices. In over 4 years, still using the same battery. Just ride a lot and the battery stays charged. Won't be able to ride until next March or April. So, I had best purchase a new battery................

Now that I can't ride, it appears my lizards must be using my battery, she laid 15 eggs this morning.

Today I cleaned my chain. First time I've done this. Turns out my sprocket isn't black after all.

 

[Midnight Rider]

I finally finished installing my Oxford heated grips. Only took me three weeks from start to finish... Looking forward to having a useable bike again!

 

[frozenpoet]

Took it out for a ride... starting to get cold in these parts.

 

[drdubb]

Got in a couple of hours today myself.

That was my last ride for awhile. Shoulder replacement surgery tomorrow.
