Since Jan. 10 when I got it------NOTHING!!!!!!!

[Guest jmjohnson]

Dec 2012 - no issues so far, thankfully, about 5K miles on the bike

[Guest jorgegofio]

Just the chain after the recall. Everything else has been like clockwork.

[bikerbampi 542]

As above.

[Guest Lockon2]

As above just the chain.

A general rule... Usually you don't have any problems during a warranty period. Any problem will appear the next day it expires!

[steelhorseuk 1,690]

Mines on second chain and sprocket set and swing arm. < 3000 miles completed

Had the Chain replaced under recall and had a new wiring harness fitted.

My ignition lights used to come on and off all the time especially on a slightly bumpy road, Eventually sourced the problem to the wires being pinched against a bolt head under the not the tank tank.. new harness fitted, no questions asked

Only thing discovered is a fastener on the plastic chain guard that backed off and drifted away.

Nothing other than the chain recall and just coming up to 10,000 miles since August 2012, haven't even changed the tyres yet, they've got about 2mm of tread left at the moment.

[ncmf 87]

Chain at 14k

Nothing since at 22k

Chain at 14k

Nothing since at 22k

[Guest Flighttime]

New dash fitted at 13K due to moisture (fogging). And my metzeler tyres need replacing at 14K.. must be faulty? surely they should last forever

[Guest lesj48]

new ecu at 4500k--- expected it to last to have lasted at least till 80-90000

Do you remember the old Ford Cortina's or Dagenham Dustbins as we used to call them? It used to be said if you had a lot of work done on your new car it had been built on the Friday as they had a job and knock policy and if they completed the days quota they could finish early, needless to say some things got missed and short cuts taken to get off early sounds like yours was built by the same crew.

Only chain recall done on mine touch wood everything else is fine.

[Scootabout 2,248]

Can someone tell me when they stopped fitting the dodgy chains that had to be recalled?

[Guest Black Knight]

Maybe I've got one, as mine stretched like an elastic band after only 325 miles!!   My machine was registered new on 1st June though, so it should have the new replacement already fitted.

What happened to your ECU?

I suspect you could be right Bill!

 

Its being fixed again on Friday . Chain again is knackered and Honda have to make a decidion about the swingarm replacement.

 

Had a look at a Yamaha Fazer8 (ABS) yesterday as a possible replacement next month.  Yamaha are doing 0% on new one with a £1000 off the asking price. 

Also, the dealer knocked a bit more off. The trade-In isnt brilliant, got offered £3800 with all the extras removed though ...   

 

Simon, I am not confident that the replacement chains are not dodgy judging by my experiences to date! Sorry I cannot be more upbeat about this but this bike for me has been ruined by the continuing chain malfunctions I have experienced. Don't let it put you off though its just bad luck I guess. Many NC owners on here have had no problems. I guess they were not built on a Friday afternoon!!

[Guest lesj48]

just got home after picking the bike up , it appears to have done the trick , so far it's running fine-and long may it continue to do so , they have fitted a new ecu and key set which must have been the problem , i also pointed out an apparent 'split' in the paintwork on the rear wheel so they have taken a photo of it to send to honda to see if a replacement is warranted and will let me know what the result is as soon as they can- so apart from the hassle of having the bike  breakdown etc i must admit HUNTS have del't with the issue in a very friendly and professional way , which has been a breath of fresh air from other dealers ,so i think a hearty ''WELL DONE and THANK YOU''  goes to HUNTS M/C .

That sounds like an absolute nightmare, Mark. I don't blame you in the circumstances for looking to buy another bike. I hope this isn't going to turn out to be a widespread problem. A couple of little anecdotes, FWTAW:

- dealer who did my first service last week said NC chains are typically knackered after 10k miles

- another dealer (Tippetts Honda) to whom I would have entrusted the service had they not been booked up for 10 days, said 8k service intervals are unrealistic for London commuters because of the stress it causes to the bike: "they come in with chains dragging along the ground".
