DCT shift cotrol motor cleaning (NC700) - ratio assy, motor assy, ratio control

[@ropeysubstance1719]

This was the motor that gave me issues at around 50,000 miles. It would overheat after 40+ minutes of riding and then my NC700XD would stop shifting and go into limp mode. I took to to the dealer and they had no idea what was wrong because it was only an intermittent issue and they couldn't duplicate it. They tested the shift motor per the Service Manual but it was reading fine in both directions. At the time I didn't know it was the Shift motor either, so my bike sat in the shop for 2 weeks until they told me they wanted to replace the ECU. I decided to take things into my own hands and replaced the motor and it's been fine ever since. If you own a DCT i totally recommend you clean it every 16,000 miles or so.

Meni se nekada desi da kada stanem,pokazuje da je u prvoj brzini a i dalje se cuje da motor nesto radi,onda upali gresku i moram ds ugssim i ponovo upalim motor.Posle tiga radi normalno neko vreme,nema pravila.Vozim se 20 dana nista i onda u tri dana se desi tri puta,pomoc?

[@ropeysubstance1719]

@@aleksandarlatinkic3602 Go to NC700 online forums and post about it and maybe someone can help you there. For me the problem was the Shift Motor which I replaced and I haven't had any issues since I replaced it. Good luck

[@stemoonie4136]

Just done exactly this. Worked perfect. Bike was stuck in 2nd gear. Turned off, wouldnt start. Battery was 100%. Cleaned and re fitted, worked. One thing to note (as others did) move the bike on the wheels. There is a speed sensor that typically likes to know the bike is moving before changing gear. Not always but it can help. Thanks man, owe you a beer 👍

Thank you very much from south korea!!. I had gear shift problem thesedays at 13,000km intermittently. (especially shift to 3 during hot condition.).

Same here, 13.000km and failed to shift down from gear 3 to 2 after 40 minutes of riding at warm +26° C

Dear, first of all thank you for this video from Tunisia ;-). My problems was the blinking dash while riding, and I have just remove this shift control motor, and clean it. It was not dirty after 65 000 km and hope that it should be enough to solve my problem. I should test it in 2 or 3 days and come back to you to give the final result. One more time thank you for your video.

[@njamai4917]

I have made the test, and it was not OK. I have changed this motor... and still not OK. I think I have to change the selection PIN inside the GEAR BOX.

[@ropeysubstance1719]

@@TheDervMan Interesting. mine went out at 47,000 miles. But it was only failing intermittently so at first I had no idea it was the problem. It cost me lots of money and time wasted at the dealership but eventually I just purchased a new shift motor and the problem was fixed.

[@TheDervMan]

@@ropeysubstance1719 That's what happened to mine, very occasionally would stick in gear when the bike was very hot (ie in traffic). Bike was under Honda warranty but they had it for a month as couldn't figure out what was happening. The fact Honda couldn't diagnose the problem really worried me. It's content like this which is super helpful as it helps people understand what the problem might be. it's frustrating the manufacturers don't share more information on how these systems works.

[@mauricioregalado562]

Buen video amigo yo ya tenía ese problema

[@ae.thelred]

Changed the front sprocket at 25k, figured I'd do this while in there. Broke the plastic casing trying to put the contact tips back in when reassembling. Rolled the dice and got about 100 miles until it went into limp mode a few miles from home. Couldn't rock'n'roll it back into neutral to get it started again. Hopefully a new shift motor ($237 with 1 day shipping) will rectify my mistake...

Das Motorrad auf die linke Seite zu kippen und einzuschalten kann auch helfen. Bei mir zu 100% Prozent aber nur kurzfristig. Den Motor zu reinigen und die Rillen rauszuschleifen haben endgültig das DTC wieder zum laufen gebracht. Den schwarzen Stecker abzubekommen war das schwerste Problem. Kilometerstand 55000.

[@guidomende5470]

Wonderful video, Mr Do it yourself! Would you please give us an advice how to loosen stiff chain links? IMHO the o- chain- rings are bloating during the time, they become more and more voluminous and are blocking after some years, even the chain has bareley lengthened (LESS THAN 0:5 %). I am not able to find out how to solve the problem...and I have tried a lot: grease, heat, kerosin, bathing the chain one week in gear oil.... not any chance at all...

[@IFinglikemymotorcycle]

This is an interesting problem. Maybe you used the wrong chain cleaner? The brake cleaner cleans the sealing rings. All I can advise you to buy a new chain set and use a different kind of solvent!

[@IFinglikemymotorcycle]

I’ll be making a video of the chain change soon, too, if the chain slider arrives, within a month.

[@guidomende5470]

@@IFinglikemymotorcycle Thank you so much for quick reply. I do not use any chain cleaner. It seems to be the UV rays of the sun causing the desaster. In future I will project my new DID VX3 chain from the summer sun, as good as possible. Best from Germany! Cheers Guido

It seems unlikely, but it is the first step because it is the cheapest.

hey does anyone know if having a broken shift motor o ring could likely result in overheating or loss of connectivity?

Not sure if this is the problem. You have to try everything from the cheapest solution to the most likely failure. Honda dealerships would be your partner in this. Electric motor cleaning, oil pressure sensor, double clutch. Double clutch handles the even and odd sides separately.
