Estupendo vídeo Mike. Exclentemente explicado. Es una tarea de mantenimiento a la que no se suele prestar mucha atención y que, de hacerse así, alarga mucho la vida útil del kit de arrastre. Una cadena sin la tensión correcta hace que la moto sea bastente menos agradable de conducir. Gracias por subier los vídeos. Un saludo.
Nice Video. However according to Honda, measurement and adjustment should be done under load (e.g. 1 person on the bike) bcs. you will end up riding with a loose chain if you adjust it unloaded, alltough of course your unloaded measurement will be within the specs limit and trick you.
Dear FinnMike, Thank you very much for sharing this useful video. I ride a 2019 NC750X DCT, very pleased with the bike. DCT is unbelievable. I have one question though. You measured the chain slack with the bike on the centre stand. The manual states it should be on the side stand. Do you agree? Thanks and greetings from The Netherlands, Paul
Hello Paul, You are absolutely correct, the chain should be measured when on the side stand. However, I measured on side stand and on center stand, and allways got exactly the same measure, so I decided to start measuring on center stand because it's easier. I forgot to mention this on the video. Happy riding ! :-)
I just rode my new (0 miles) home from the dealer yesterday. Bright day and had a hard time seeing the dash. Is there a trick to making that dash visible?
Thx FinnMike, great info! Can't wait to hear from you regarding the install of the ROX bar risers. I bought the same and my local Honda shop could not install as the DCT cable is too short and can not order a longer DCT cable. Let me know when done installing yours and any tips for my local dealer. Happy trails, JP, Canada
It's funny that in the manual doesn't says nothing about the 22mm nut from the left side, still a nice and useful video!
A lot of bike manuals don’t. Worryingly, I found if you don’t loosen both off, the adjustment dosen’t work.
Please, nerver adjust a chain on the center stand. Always on the side stand, if possible you, or a person sitting on the bike ( no side stand).

Ah, that sweet sound of that background music! Love it, man!

OK, maybe I'm in for the same problem ... Im hoping to try and install them next week. I let you know how it goes.
Thx a bunch for your help!!!! JP
First attempt to install ROX risers today, didn't go well, but it's possible to make it work. Will release a video about it today ....
Is it possible to over tighten the rear axle by hand?
What center stand do you have? Which brand?
Hammer 😂
