And if you want the DCT to run even smoother and quieter, do the DCT Clutch initialization procedure. I’m assuming it wasn’t done by the PO.Update.
Love. It.
What an awesome bike. Picked it up 2.5 hours ago. Stopped for coffee just now. Suppose it’s time to get home.
And don’t worry about the thread debates. It’s the internet. Lol.

I haven’t read about that yet. Doing it now. I also need to do the ECU reflash at the Honda dealer this week.And if you want the DCT to run even smoother and quieter, do the DCT Clutch initialization procedure. I’m assuming it wasn’t done by the PO.

Why would you really appreciate the fly by wire throttle? This is the first bike I’ve bought with it and it just performs the same as all the fuel injectEd bikes I had. A downside I find is that you can’t adjust out the throttle slack on the grip. Not a Plus for me.The ride by wire throttle was that one change that I would really appreciate on my 2019. I appreciate features on all three generations. I would like to be able to have a menu that allows me to pick and choose features from all three generations and make one complete motorcycle!

”all the hardware necessary”, except perhaps a clutch disengagement microswitch. The typical clutch interlock switch ensures that the clutch is fully disengaged before allowing starting in gear. For cruise, you also need a signal to release the cruise at the moment the clutch lever begins to disengage the clutch, not fully disengaged. Does the TBW manual NC have two clutch switches? My Goldwing (with cruise) does, my non TBW NC does not, but maybe the ‘21-‘22 NC has some other trickery that you know of?Drive by wire throttle is usually accompanied by the inclusion of electronic cruise control.
When you have drive by wire, all hardware necessary for the electronic cruise is already installed.
For the manufacturer, all that's necessary to add cruise is the the handlebar control and the programming into the ECM.

You said in post #68, “When you have drive by wire, all hardware necessary for the electronic cruise is already installed.” The transmission type was not mentioned.The Africa Twin and Rebel 1100 have cruise on their DCT's.
I'm quite sure every DCT already has those microswitches in the clutches for their operation.
The Rebel 1100 and AT with manual transmissions both have cruise as standard equipment, so I don’t know what to tell you that you don’t already know. Until the NC gets cruise to go along with its drive by wire it’s all speculation.You said in post #68, “When you have drive by wire, all hardware necessary for the electronic cruise is already installed.” The transmission type was not mentioned.
Now in post #71, you’re talking only about DCT. What about the manual transmission?
I looked quickly, and the Africa Twin MT has two separate switches on the clutch lever assembly. The second switch is likely there to cancel the cruise control if the clutch lever is pulled slightly, but I didn’t try to find the wiring schematics to verify. The MT 2021 NC750X has only one switch At the clutch lever assembly. So it may be contrary to what you said, such that even though ‘21-‘22 NC has throttle by wire, the manual transmission model may not already have everything needed for adding cruise control. It also needs to have all the interlocks, most of which are already in place. But it may need a new wiring harness to the left handlebar, and it may need a second microswitch, unless Honda has some other trickery to get around those needs (like maybe monitoring the individual wheel speeds and the engine RPM in order to attempt to detect clutch slippage vs rear wheel slippage).The Rebel 1100 and AT with manual transmissions both have cruise as standard equipment, so I don’t know what to tell you that you don’t already know.
