Guest tiago vieira Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Hello. My rear tail light seems loose. The guys from Honda service said that's normal... Doesn't feel right. Honda NC750X DCT 2017 Best, Tiago Link to post
rainmaker 74 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Do not remember how it was on my NC700X but on my Africa Twin is loose too and apparently this is by design. Link to post
Guest machinman Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Im pretty sure the stays for the pillion seat hold the back light on. 3 fixings IIRC. Link to post
gonzo 2,211 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Just checked my 2000 mile 17 plate x . yes there is some up and down movement. its supposed to be like that , same as honda top box fittings (floating) . Link to post
Trumpet 216 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Rubber mounted and very loose. So is my 2017. Not sure I like it. Link to post

Trumpet 216 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) But its so loose it actually bounces up and down. Not so brilliant. In fact I've shimmed mine slightly so its rubber isolated, but not flapping around. Either Honda or I'm right. You decide. Edited March 19, 2018 by Trumpet Link to post
embee 7,288 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Definitely doesn't sound right. As far as I can see there's no fundamental difference in the mounting system between the 700 and 750 newer variants (check at https://www.bike-parts-honda.com/index.php ), and my 700 is quite firmly mounted. It is definitely rubber mounted, you can flex it on the mounts relatively easily, but there is very definitely no slop or free play, just a taught rubber mount as you would expect. There are rubber bushes and top-hat spacers (5, 11, 12), it's possible the dimensions on these are incorrect allowing too much free play even when tightened, needs to be dismantled to find out which is obviously why they tell you it's fine (CBA = can't be ar$ed)).
