Andy. Yes, I believe you are right. In my experience a lot of dealers put 10w-40 in everything because that’s what their bulk oil is….Dealer put in my RE on the basis that he uses it in his race bikes. 2 Link to post
Steve Case 934 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 This is a new thing for me choosing oil, when I had the burgman I used whatever was lying around. Triumph get good stuff but I wasn't going to waste money on a suzuki. Link to post

Tony Roche 17 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Hi guys I'm an instructor and have two NC700X's 2012 & 2013. One has 81.5k used as my main bike and the spare has 52k. I've done most of the miles on the higher one which I took on at 24k. I was thinking just last week that it feels just as good as it did 50k miles ago! :-) 1 Link to post

alhendo1 3,015 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 @motorbykcourier posted up in April that his NC had done plus 250k miles.. It would be good to see a post update and see where it's at now... 1 Link to post
Integrator 180 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Now 96700m. - After a terrible time round 60k.miles with lots of dct sensor gremlins flying around the gears are back to normal.. Last month I’ve crisscross’ed France 3k’s in a week with no problems. She seldom runs much more than 200m on a tank, - I think the boosterplug is taking its fair share, now I only drive with it engaged. Difficult to letting it stay off.. 1 Link to post
Duncs 44 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Hi, I've not been here for ages. But I'm a courier bought my 2018 NC750X with 1000 miles on the clock in 2019. This week I just hit 80000 miles. There is one colleague at work who has a NC700 with over 200k miles. I'll speak to him on Monday and get confirmation of this. 5 Link to post
stvlas 15 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 There's a guy in Thailand on YouTube "Mikefreerider". He has more than 250k km on his 2015 750X 😳😲😲😃😃 Link to post

Hope someone comes along to advise you on your cam chain issue because it could be something I'll come across later. 🤞 Link to post

At least it’s a good time of year to be stuck with a van, eh, Steve? 300K is a pretty good mileage for anything on wheels and a testament to Honda’s engineering. 2 Link to post

It’s a manual. It was as a result of reading his article in Ride magazine in 2020 that I bought my manual NC750X new. I feel it would be useful if high mileage bike contenders were to indicate manual or DCT too. I doubt that a DCT would do 300,000 miles without major attention. I’m happy to be proved wrong…. 1 Link to post
embattle 328 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I suspect like most things as long as you get your bike serviced and you also maintain it I doubt there are many people with long term issues who have DCT. Link to post

Wheel bearings & steering head bearings Thats IT !! It gets new oil and filter every 8K miles, along with filters, plugs etc at appropriate intervals. Occasionally I'll check the valves - aprat from early on they just don't change. Doesn't use oil But now it IS getting very vibratory..... 4 1 Link to post
rjp996 1,091 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 im on 90k with a 2015 DCT - not been used so much the past year as working from home - no real issues in all that time - I replace wheel bearings and had a starter relay fail - service it per what the manual says at homer - get put away wet all the time - gets washed maybe 3-4 times a year 1 Link to post
