My NT700 has 60,000 trouble free miles on it now.
My much newer NC700 DCT is only four months old and has continuing electrical issues.
I ask if any of you would keep, sell or trade a Honda with this many critical problems.
The NC700 DCT first had the left handlebar control cease to function.
That control operates the horn, signals, all-way flashers and the shift change paddles for the DCT.
It was replaced under warranty.
The dealer says "that never happens, we don't stock the part, and we ordered a new one."
Now the ignition switch works intermittantly, sometime turning even off the engine uncommanded.
I have to jiggle the key to start the bike and hope that it keeps running.
This too will be fixed under warranty.
The dealer says "that never happens, we don't stock the part, and we ordered a new one."
I worry because these are all electrical problems that the dealer claims to be rare.
The whole DCT transmission is electrically controlled.
I ask if any of you would keep letting the dealer fix the bike, if you would trade it to stay away from that bike's troubles, or if you would just sell it outright and stay away from Hondas for a while. The dealer offered a pretty good deal on another bike.
Thanks for any comments or advice.
