  2. Like @Andy m I'd say don't bother. All you will get is a slightly different noise, no more power, and people will wonder why you stuck an Akroprovic on an NC.......
  3. I have a Delkevic exhaust for sale if you are interested.
  4. I have a Delkevic can, it was fitted when I bought it.
  5. Welcome to the forum. Don't. Noise makers are anti-social and the NC sounds like a washing machine regardless. There is no more power to release, Honda designed it to run like a Diesel, efficient but charmless. If you want more go and a more traditional sound the only effective way is another bike. Andy

  7. Hi, new to the forum and I am looking at changing to exhaust any recommendations just looking at something a bit louder than the stick fit one 👍

    brake overhaul

    Hi Dave I agree with you about the Honda bleed system. I had a 2010 ST1300 and i bled the brakes 3 times over the years , and there were i think 7 or 8 steps in the process, and it had to be done in sequence and if you missed one , start over again. The NC is a pretty simple bike to work on concerning maintenance issues. Phantom

    As for Pirelli Angels (back on topic? wth??) - had GTs on my CBF1000 replacing BT023 - what a difference, much better all round.

    What they've taken to doing round here is resurface the road to get rid of poholes but not raise the manhole cover ('cos it's a pita to do properly, it costs and closes the road) so instead of actual potholes the drop down onto the cover is just as bad and just as jarring - fine for cars of course as the manholes are all on or near the 'command position'.

    Because that’s where they site the cable winches when they’re putting in new or replacement cables. One persons way of making the job easier is another’s way of inspecting the scenery, or getting a bigger laundry bill😎

    On the Holyhead side just after the Britannia Bridge there is an expansion joint covering the full width of the road. It’s two strips of polished shiny steel located in a nice very fast bend. It is a 50 limit over the bridge so that is what you supposed to do, but it’s tempting to go a little bit quicker. In the wet it’s always a sphincter clincher but all that happens is the bike shimmies as you go over it as you lose and then regain grip in a fraction of a second. I have seen riders panic as they approach it but no need.

    What I really detest is the amount of manhole covers that seem to be in corners rather than on the straight bits of road.

    There is/was a non metallic inspection cover launched a few years ago with a very grippy top surface, I cant remember what it was made from, but it was recycled from something and moulded into the correct shape, it was said to be more durable and less likely to break and had no scrap value, so highly unlikely to be stollen as quite a few were.

    And no tyre grips on wet smooth metal. there are a few 'grippy' manhole covers which have a non slip surface with a non metal surface and are (sometimes!) placed on riding lines around bends, but they are few and far between.

    filters etc

    Oil filters - HF204 + HF117 Like many I use HiFlo filters ('17 DCT) Just checked - £42 for 5ltr Westway oil plus the two HiFlo filters.

    The manual has one cartridge filter. DCT has the same one, plus an extra mesh type one for the gearbox elements. If unsure check Fowler's fiche https://www.fowlersparts.co.uk/browser/manufacturer/honda/bike/nc750x-abs-dual-clutch/year/2018 and work by either their part number or Honda's. Fowlers won't have two shelves for the same part, so if it fits ten bikes it'll all be the same number. Avoid any supplier that isn't clear by part number. A knock-off with a part number cross reference is fraudulent while one described in Chinglish as "Oily filtery Big red happy motorc

    yes thats what the manual say. what I want to know is are filters different on year models seeing it uses the same engine. Forza 750 cost £42 for one filter/oil where as the NC 750 is £36 for the same.

    The previous owner had just fitted a pair of Bridgestone Battlax T32's when I bought it and they've been faultless wet or dry.

    What does the manual say? It used to say 10w 30 for all DCT models.
  23. Taileron

    Pirelli Angel Tyres

    I have just put a set of angels on my NC, transformative is an understatement, in a good way. I was considering a rear shock change but with the new tyres I don’t think it’s worth the money. FYI I’m 6 ft 3” ish, 95k loaded with gear, my little one is 45k, Mrs Taileron is 70k. The angels seem to have no issues with pillions. I am comparing them directly to the awful OEM tyres so my view could be a bit rose tinted. Hope that helps.
  24. john mackay

    filters etc

    are there any actual differences for the NC750 x/s dct. some say 10-30w others 10/40w . filters I would of thought they'd be all the same seeing that it is the same engine through out inc forza 750. there seem to be price differences nForza being more expensive.

    Yeah, right! (Not long gone 63yo and still struggling to act my age rather than my shoe size. )

    This time of year the road surface gets a greasy surface, this gives a not secure feeling on the bike, and you can easily find yourself on your backside if you ride like you would in summer. In my opinion for what it's worth Michelin Pilot Road 4 are a great all year round tyre.

    Same age, same description for me. But I would argue that any loss of skill has been at least partially made up for by an increase in common sense. As to @Gringo’s question, I have not used Pirelli Angels myself, but I have sold a fair few sets to sport-touring bike owners, and those who have reported back have had no complaints. I read a lot of tire reviews (for professional reasons), and I have not run across any negative press for the Angels.

    I use PR4s on my X-ADV, cost a little bit more but are generally better than alternatives although I would use PR6s if they did a 15 inch because to me the two areas not to scrimp on are tyres and brakes.
