maltpress 20 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 The front clip on the plastic chain guard on my NC750X seems loose and I think the chain guard is rattling a bit (although TBH I can't always hear it and it could just be engine noise... I'm not used to it yet!). I think the hooked over bit on the clip should go over the top of the guard and the straight up section should slot into the guard but I can't seem to wiggle it in properly and permanently. I've tried looking for pics online but it's not exactly a bit of the bike a lot of people share pictures of. Anyone experienced similar? Any ideas? I'm tempted to get a more solid aftermarket guard but aesthetic customisation is a rabbit hole my wife (and bank manager) probably won't want me tumbling down... Link to post
klrman 560 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 My 750X chain guard wobbles too. Not a failure of the guard, but a combination of value engineering and perhaps commendably an attempt to cut down on the proliferation of plastic. Or less diplomatically put, ...... not man enough for the job Link to post

Mine has done about 15000 miles up to now and is fine. So maybe it is man enough, but after a lifetime in railway engineering, I'm too much a "belt and braces" man. Link to post
maltpress 20 Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 Thanks. It's just had a service at the Honda dealership I got it from (second hand, 8k miles) so I figure it's fine. I can always replace if I need to. Just needed reassurance - all a bit new to me right now. Link to post

Quite a few examples of dealer errors or overlooking things in these threads, I'm afraid. 2 Link to post
Andy m 23,473 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 IIRC you are right that the hook and clip have been assembled incorrectly. Undo the bolts, do the clippy bit then put the bolts back. Andy Link to post
