This video helped my understand how to remove the top of the fairing as knowing where the clips (and what type) are positioned, is a great advantage. Still rather nerve-racking, but managed to remove without breaking any bits off. Appreciated.
sim mas tem que ter cuidado ao montar de volta pois ficou uma espaço na carenagem, entre a carenagem vermelha e preta. pois na minha Nc 750 x venho montada da concessionaria errada, dai tive que desmontar e encaixar direito para não ficar aquele espaço.
Lovely video Bruce - thanks and it's obviously of great value to those who've bought the latest-model "X" bike. Next time you film inside the Frunk, please remember to throw some ARTIFICIAL LIGHT on the subject so we can see clearly what's going on ! It's all-black in there !
Daft question - Have you ever removed the side panel beneath the seat ? Asking for a friend who needs to retrieve a dropped bolt (note to self; get a friend)
My XMAX does, but it is made for city riding. Most ADV bikes are advertised for travel and off road, so I guess they think you wouldnt want to charge stuff away from the city :/ But it might also be a way to make more money. I came looking for this because Honda wanted to charge $80 for a 12v optional in the seat storage. Here the only tool I dont have is that drill piece, but I have a drimmel so I think I should be able to install one for an hour of time and $20?
drawback of direct connection to the battery- if you forget USB socket or connected device it may cause draining you battery within night or few hours or few days... recommendation is re-wire it to ignition switch and usb port make work.only while driving. turning of ignition turn offs usb port.
Woxidus Woxidus - don’t agree. By direct wiring I can use it to charge the battery. And if I’m stupid enough to leave a device plugged in that drains the battery (cannot think of one off hand) then I deserve a flat battery.
@@AfricaTwin-Stuff Good lithium batteries have BMS that wont allow for such full discharge. They will shut down the battery when they detect too much parasitic drain on the battery that drops it below a certain point. The system always leaves enough juice to restart the battery. I love lithium despite their expense. Antigravity and Full Spectrum power are the 2 companies that have this feature. Havent found others that have it.
Thanks for the video! Q:As you are connected directly to the battery, aren't you concerned that an accessory left connected overnight could discharge the battery? Also, can I ask what size fuse you use?
It’s my own stupid fault if I leave a power draining accessory on overnight and it drains the battery! Fuse - 12, as I wanted it to be able to drive my heated vest.
Thanks for the video. Appreciate how you take the effort to show all your maintenance work, step by step. Just an observation: did you get the order of the side panel reverse during re-installation? Shouldn't the side panel be above the center piece? 1:22 & 3:27
Do you know where there is a live feed near there that will allow the charging point to turn on and off with the ignition please? Would drain the battery if you forgot to unplug it wouldn't it? Great videos by the way. Looking at getting myself an NC750 after watching how easy it seems to be to work on it. Cheers from the UK
Nick D - I believe there is a dedicated plug for this purpose but I can’t advise. Join the face book group “Honda NC750X Owners group”. Lots of owners have this info to share.
Would it be possible to have the 12v socket inside of the trunk but run my phone charger cable from the inside of the frunk to the handlebar so that I can charge my phone while using navigation? Or would that squish the cable?
I have the honda socket similar to yours I think. I think I blew a fuse with my air compressor today. Socket went dead shortly after plugging it to compressor. Is that fuse hard to replace?
Vance Smith - if it’s exactly like mine then the fuse is in the line and is a standard type. If it’s a Honda installed plug then you may find the fuse in the fuse box. I don’t think the Honda installed plug is meant for anything heavier than phone charging.
If fitted correctly - No. Power doesn’t leak out like water from a hose. It’s has to be used up by something drawing current. My setup does not draw current unless something is plugged into the socket.
Why is the power socket not a USB (or Dual USB) plug? Is there any need for an old fashioned power socket, which will require an adapter to plug your modern electronics into?
It provides a lot more power and flexibility than a USB socket. You can trickle charge your battery directly from a 12v for example, or run non-USB devices. My tire pump can run from the 12v I believe. So while you may call it old fashioned, that is only in the same way that any wall plug is old fashioned. It still does the job best for the most amount of things due to its high energy input/output.
Hi, where did you buy the socket from? I try to find one like this, that can screws, and not stick it with silicon or something like that, without any result...
ktsiknakis - plenty on eBay. Like this. m.ebay.com.au/itm/12V-Volt-Waterproof-Car-Motor-Cigarette-Lighter-Plug-Outlet-Power-Supply-Socket/291940617614?hash=item43f9044d8e%3Ag%3APXEAAOSwsW9Yxh%7EU&_nkw=12v+socket+waterproof&rt=nc
I SO WISH that I'd done a DIY install- I got the Honda 'Power' outlet which comes with the comfort pack- when I picked it up the tech casually mentioned that I can only draw O N E Amp! Useless! Going to rip it out and put in a real one.
Eddy Couvreur - no I don’t know. If you are worried about warranty (the way bike shops scare you into paying through the nose for their services) you need to check with the bike shop.
Honda NC750X Stuff I'll go for the dealer install of that socket (and sub-harness) for warranty, and after that i 'll be able to install other things on the sub-harness sockets (4), things i could easely unmount if i run into problems... Example of sub-harness location after mount here: vincentrobic.me/2017/06/20/branchement-accessoires-honda-nc700/
John Jørgensen - probably enough room. But you would have to check for yourself. I cannot speculate where you choose to put it, or what plug you are using.
