RU-vid changed the way they monetize my content. My channel now needs 1,000 Subscribers so it would be AWESOME if you could show your support by both watching my videos and subscribing to my channel if you have not already done so. Monetizing my videos allows me to invest back into the channel with new equipment so a small gesture from you goes a huge way for me. Many thanks for your support !
Thanks for the explanation of the dash board I haven't bought the bike yet but will be by December I will continue to follow your channel I'm envious of the landscape in your videos will post when I get my ride
Great video, thank you! I just wonder if the shift menu is referred to each single shift mode (D, S1, S2..) or not. And if not, witch shift mode is this menu referred to? Many thanks, regards Danilo.
Thank you for the tutorial. Is it possible to know the all-time consumption average? Also is there any add-on thermometer in the market that suits NC750x neatly?
Hi. First of all, thanks for this video but I have a question. The "ECO" mode, is only for show that you're in "optimal" revs. or make the engine to works in a efficient type of driving too? I wanna say, the gear are changing at low revs. Recently have bought a 2019 NC750X model and I wanna know all the possible specs for it.
Just drove my new (0 miles) 2019 NC750X home from the dealer yesterday. It's difficult seeing the dash (bright day). Is there a trick to making the dash more visible? I have no trouble seeing the dash on my 2012 NC700X.
Hello and congrats for this very well made vid. One question : I had my bike yesterday and as I look at the date entered, I see : 2016. It is a « of the store » and brand new one. Does it mean that the bike was assembled in 2016 or this date is just insignificant ? Thank you for your reply and all the best to you! Francis
2016 it's the date when the bike entered into the country, which means that the bike was produced lately in 2016. It's not such an issue if the bike has 0 Km. Still need to check better for eventually rust, tyres, coolant, brake liquid, engine oil, due to the fact that in time, these fluids are loosing their proprieties. Greetings!
No temperature gauges for coolant or oil, no outside temp info nothing. This bike has the most uncomfortable seat ever. It's struggles on the motorway /highway I can't recommend this bike,
After bought my bike 15 months ago, I still don't understand the possibilities on the dashboard. Now, after seeing your video, I must say it is very welcome additional help next to manual instruction from the book! In fact, this video should make it easier to create the best results for your own use. The main problem is: there are a lot of possibilities on the dashboard which make me pretty dizzy..... but don't worry, I will survive this issue..... like the others, right?
Great explanation, had my NC for 18 months now..... never really understood the dash ..... we do need a temp gauge and a compass would be good. Thank you for taking the time to make this video 👍
You’re not alone! It isn’t particularly user friendly. When I first got it I thought the mileage in the reserve tank display was how much I had left! Someone said that was actually the mileage since the last segment came on! Plus too much emphasis on colours!
Also this week I have add the usb connection, I had preferred to pay little bit more but with the usb connection ready, nevertheless I am very happy with the bike!!
I think Honda is the only manufacturer which does not engine temperature indicator!! I can't understand why ?! 😡 I had several motorcycles and almost every one boiled at least once, with temperature indicator you immediately see that something is not OK, flow hose, thermostat, fan blower, coolant vessel ,coolant housing, it can all be damaged, when temperature red light, lights up on, that temperature engine is high, then it's over, engine is already damaged! an incredible omission of HONDA !!!! I can not believe it! 😡
Indeed you are right, also for the new model 2021 there is no temperatures indicator. Perhaps they are thinking that the bike its too reliable and dont need to monitor anything...just kidding.
@@IdealBike I saw that, 2021 model doesn't have it either, I went crazy right away! 😡 of course model VFR800X it has a temperature indicator! But also a significantly higher price, so is that an idea HONDA, obviously it will annoy us and pick up money for a significantly more expensive model !!!! 😡 here I must also mention a completely insignificant windshield, which you have to change if you want to stay alive in the winter, and a totally funny and stupid color palette, ugly! no black paint ?! OMG! 😡
Next to the absolutely terrible seat, the LCD dash has to be the worst thing about this fantastic bike. Honda ! just give us 2 proper analog dials like you used to fit to bikes. They work and are easily understood with just a short glance. Failing that, could you make the slope of the display adjustable to suit the riders height &/or sun position? It is strange that Honda has made the indicator warning light not very visible in daylight and yet they have allowed the high beam warning light to be absolutely blinding at night...
The Dashboard it's not perfect, that's why we should give solutions to all issues hoping that Honda will fix it for the next bikes. If we compare the previous Dashboard from the NC with this one I think there is an improvement
@@IdealBike Very true. It was reported in the press that Honda are thinking of a middle weight tourer based on the Africa Twin. I wrote to them suggesting a tourer based on the excellent NC750X but hopefully with shaft drive. The NC is a very good bike but it is inexplicable that they have not improved the seat given that people have been complaining about it since day 1.
@@ccooper8785 I dont know about the shaft drive if its a good idea. About the rest I totaly agreed. Now I have to buy a 450$ comfortable seat, new foot pegs because the originals are shit, already bought a windshield ... but the seat its the most important one
Yes the seat is worst. I have reduced the tilt and have a clip on gel seat over the top. Most useful feature of the dash is Eco mode and I never use sport modes of the DCT. You also cannot see the dash when standing up which is bad for an adventure bike.
Absolutely it's the worst Honda seat!! I would love analogue with odometer. Sport is unnecessary after 2020 the gearbox gives you what you want based on how much throttle you use👍
Thanks so much for the tutorial. I recently purchased a 2018 model with 121 total miles on it! So it's a new bike. Though I've had a number of bikes, none with the complexity of this DCT model and its dashboard. I will be returning to this tutorial frequently. Thanks again.
Excellent tutorial. I agree with you that Honda have placed far too much emphasis on ‘colours’ and overlooked other key requirements such as ambient temperature gauge and a range fuel gauge. The menu can be very confusing for newbies so this video makes things that bit easier. Thank you.
Oh my god. I've just put a deposit on one of these bikes and tech never really was my thing. All I want is a speed and something to tell me when I'm about to run out of petrol. Now I'm going to have to find a 5 yr old to teach it to me!
Hi Orlando and thank you for the comment! The bike's maximum speed is arround 199 Km/h. I personaly ride it with max. 190 Km/h. Hope this helps, Greetings!
Warning about - lack of - accuracy with the fuel indicator: Those stated 3.2 liters left when the last bar of the fuel gauge starts to flash are apparently calculated, not measured! How much is really left, seems to depend on the conditions the bike was moved when the tank was still full. I had a case when I ran out of fuel while the last bar wasn't even flashing yet. Fuel consumption was higher than usual then (about 4.5 liters/100km, running dry after 320 km) , possibly because of driving against strong wind most of the time. But whatever the actual reason, the fuel gauge tricked me into believing that I had more fuel left than was really remaining. Therefore I wouldn't take the stated amount of 3.2 liters remaining when the last bar starts to flash as granted. I now fill up after not later than 300km, not relying on the fuel gauge any longer, and tend to carry a small (filled) 3 liters jerrycan with me, Measured, not calculated.
Hello! At the very beginning, after buying the bike,there was also a difference on my side regarding the fuel indicator versus the gas pump. But after few days, I never ever had differences. Both measurements are identical. Could be indeed in your case, that leaning the bike on the back, could influence the gasoline sensor.
I've always been intimidated by digital displays. Having you work through this system is re-assuring, in that, having subscribed, I know I can always review, to find where I neeed to be and how to correct / adjust things. Thanks so much for this excellent work.
Thanks, great video of the Honda NC 750 DCT. Agree, this dash is full of useless flashy colors. It seems like it has been designed by someone who does not actually use a bike. >No ambient outside temperature gauge >No BIG flashing orange light for low fuel / reserve >No engine coolant temp gauge (would be nice, not essential) >No electronic throttle ("drive by wire") to manage throttle response in idle, stop/go traffic. Difficult to control bike in maneuvering idle speed situations because there is no manual clutch to slip in slow turns and maneuvering at crawling speed. >No combined front / rear brakes (no combined ABS). It has ABS on front and rear independently, so full emergency breaking is NOT combined front and rear.
Hi there! Very pertinently observations! Regarding the throttle by wire: I myself two times but also a friend of mine same bike - pushed by accident the throttle, it's sensitive especially if you have thicker gloves and you don't feel 100% the percentage of twisting the throttle, that's one good observations. Thanks a lot and Greetings!
Also too much emphasis on fuel mileage. I ride a motorcycle for the joy of riding, couldn't care less what it gets for fuel mileage. Only need to know when to put more gas in the tank.
I agree about all the colors - who cares, put a damn compass on the dash. How many times have you been out on an "adventure" bike and wonder what direction you are going? They put a compass on most car dashes and they rarely get used but on a bike where it would get used alot, they don't.
Honda should listen to it's customers and react fast, we are in 2020 and the technology it's so advanced the expectations are higher and higher. We just ask for functional, usefull and updated to 2020 features. Seems like we still have to wait for it when it comes to the Dashboard.
Thank You, Thank You. This was so helpful. I agree, they should have focused on outside temp, voltage, distance to empty.... I also wish they would have made the screen a little bigger, my aging eyes have a hard time reading the small print. But I still love my NC750XD . Again, thank you for taking the time to do this.
D mode seems to shift way too early and S1 seems to never shift up. Can the shift menu be used to alleviate that to some degree? What is a good value for the shift option? Is the setting for D or S, both? Wish the manual was a little more comprehensive
Hello, you can put your personal settings when it comes to gears shifting, adjusting at what revs your gears will change. I personnaly make it simple: manual mode for the city rides or very twisty roads, or S1 for long boring roads. Sometimes S3 its also good for some curvy roads.Hope that helps! Also on my video check out this minute 08:40 - this is the SHIFT menu.
Would you recommend buying one ? I ride a vespa gts 250cc at the moment but had a 300cc vespa gts as well previously, my heart it's into scooters but my head is into big bikes so I think this it's perfect as it's more scootmoto . Thank you
Hello, not really. Now I use a scooter for city rides and the Transalp 750 for travel. The comfort has increased significantly and also the riding experience.
Ohhh thank you!! I bought a BMW 1200 on November and I have sold on February!! Too much motorbike for me in everything fortunately I haven’t lost too much money and my NC still is with me. What I valued most in a motorcycle is the smoothness of the engine and gearbox and the BMW haven’t these values. Thanks for your reports!!
Hmmm, haven't encountered that, as you probably saw in the video the unit mode it's there. I'm thinking that you have a US or UK version of the bike otherwise cannot explain. Try ask the dealer see what they know about that.
Do you know how to tell if you mileage has been altered ?.. I've looked at 3 bikes for sale so far with very suspicious low mileage, but displaying wear and tear which indicates 2 or 3 times the mileage ?
Hello, could be because of the gear modes. Try to press the left button for 5 seconds to switch between the gear modes, like in the video. Hope it helps... Greetings
I get a good reflection of the chin bar of my helmet! The speed I can barely see and the rest of the overly complicated dash I cannot see in most lighting conditions. Still a very good bike though, very happy with it.
@@ccooper8785 I agree. Love my bike too. Everything else more than makes up for the mirror dash. Also, very good video and i'll, probably, have a little play with the dash to see if I can improve things little.
Entering in the menus it's done by pressing the right and left buttons, before each function I explained what button to press and hold. Hope that helps, greetings
hello nice video you made there thank you a lot i have a question does anyone saw the fuel consumption indicator if after some time or km the guage rises up i bought the bike with 4.9ltr per hour and now is 5.2ltr/ph
Great video thank you very much. Now the dashboard makes so much sense! Btw, I think you realized towards the end that the word "Gear" is pronounced like the G in "George" :)
@@IdealBike Vezi că în funcție de ce an de fabricație este motorul, este posibil să trebuiască ținută accelerația la maxim în timp ce vei ține apăsat pe D înainte să se stingă becul de Check engine. Deci.... dacă nu funcționează fără a ține accelerația deschisă, încerci așa. Sunt ceva filme pe RU-vid. Caută Honda DCT learning reset...sau ceva de genul. Foarte important..... motorul să fie cald :) Enjoy!
Hello Dragan ! Thank you. Just to give you an example: I ride also now in december and it's very important to know what is the outside temperature in the morning when -3C or +1C makes the difference to know if you can have ice portions on the road or not .
