MyBB Motorcycle Owners Thread (2nd gear)

Hi guys I hope someone can help me. I have been having problems with my Honda NC750X (Manual). The clutch starts to slip once the bike has warmed up and gets worse the hotter the bike gets. Does anyone have an idea what could be the cause?

Likely the clutch is just buggered, or someone used the wrong oil.

How many kilometres?

definitely sounds like a worn clutch. (Or a badly adjusted clutch cable? I thought the clutches were bulletproof?)

I suspected the clutch cable and I have tried many different settings but it doesn't seem to make any difference. I have also changed the oil a couple of times since I got the bike with what the owners manual recommends. Was really hoping I wouldn't have to replace the clutch :confused:. The bike has 48 000km. Thanks for the advice :thumbsup:.

Usually there are two places to adjust the cable.

One at the lever and one further down the line.

Did you adjust both?

It could also be that the tension of the clutch cable where it connects to the clutch housing hasn’t been wound back and setup correctly, but I only know how this works in so far as it pertains to Buells so might not even relate.

Ultimately best to have a dedicated manual specific to the bike.

I think I have the honda service manual somewhere. Let me poke around.


Clutch slips when accelerating
• Clutch lifter sticking
• Worn clutch disc
• Weak clutch springs
• No clutch lever freeplay
• Engine oil mixed with molybdenum or graphite additive

Presumably the NC shares engine and clutch oil like most bikes?

I remember with my Buell (split engine and gearbox oil) they once put fully synthetic oil instead of mineral in the gearbox and it was an absolute disaster.

Bloody thing would actually pop out of 5th gear and I was convinced I had broken the gearbox because the bike took a small tumble a few days before it went in for service.

Took it to a different dealership who actually specialised in Buell and they immediately changed the oil and it was sorted.

Thanks so much for the feedback here. These bikes have such road presence and endless power from what I've seen. Lots of high mileage owners complain of paintwork getting easily damaged by boots etc and stickers peeling off. Any experiences in this regard?On my short list to drive as well. The red is quite pretty. But yes, this is certainly a bike that could quite easily kill a noob.I thoroughly enjoyed my loaner F750GS. But I have my heart set on eventually going fast and having an achy ass after 20 minutes, which is why I'm wanting to try a Superbike for a bit.

Side note: the GSXR 750 doesn't come with ABS at all it seems. Only the 1000. Well worth the extra money I reckon

No issues with peeling stickers or such. But, I'd have to add, I have had [some of] the fairings replaced via insurance claim- my bike is not accident-free, unfortunately. The fairings are oem though, no issues with quality (visual or otherwise).
 
Harley-Davidson puts electric bike on hold

Harley-Davidson announced on Monday that it had suspended production and delivery of its LiveWire electric motorcycle, which the brand had rolled out as part of a diversification push.

"We recently discovered a non-standard condition during a final quality check; stopped production and deliveries; and began additional testing," the company said in a statement.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the decision came after a problem with the vehicle's battery charging was discovered. The manufacturer did not say when they planned to resume production.

Unveiled in 2014, the LiveWire sold for around $30 000 in North America and Western Europe, according to the Harley-Davidson website.

Lady biker gets harassed by a POS beggar, nobody helps, one guy gets out of his bakkie but does nothing, gets back in and drives off, leaving the lady in distress, generally people are useless.
 
I'm not so sure pepper spray is the best solution for full-faced helmets. If you get it wrong, you're fekked.
