Honda NT1100 Control Cluster & Screen

In this video I have a quick run through of the "QWERTY" keyboard that are the controls of the NT1100. Some folk think there are too many buttons but I give my reasons why I think Honda has got it right for this tour bike.

Hiya, Showing the 2 smaller screens as well was a touch of genius and works so well, Where did you get that idea from ? coz Ive never seen anyone else do that before but it is a great idea, well done you. It all looks complicated but you've made it seem so intuitive and simple, I did see a couple of carryovers from the NC. Thanks for the video mate it's a good one well done.

[@user-gt3bv6bo8v]

Totally agree, great idea which you should patent then sell to Honda. Makes far more sense than the handbook 😊

[@blearyview2254]

Hello Paul, thank you very much and it not really that difficult, next time I will try to keep my arms out of the side shots haha. Glad you enjoyed 👍

[@blearyview2254]

@@user-gt3bv6bo8v That a lovely comment Gordon and yes the handbooks are a nightmare at times and glad you found it interesting. 👍

[@blearyview2254]

Meant to say, I have watched a lot of videos where folk try to showcase controls and most of the time you have no idea what they doing and the effect on the screen. In a previous life, I got a couple of lovely lasses to do instructional videos on some productivity software (not the Microsoft Word etc) as it was far simpler to show folk how to do it than try write it down. I like the simple approach 👍

[@duncanhood6808]

your traction control is on low. 3 bars is full.... power though is reversed, 1 bar is full!

[@Cookey77]

Excellent video. Had a short tour of the system in the dealership and then forgot everything they said! So thank you for uploading.

[@blearyview2254]

Glad it was of some use 👍 Just back from a short ride on the NT and it still great fun 😁

[@Ainsworth-Rider]

Wow that is very impressive you do realise that you are the only person in the UK that can understand all that but the most impressive is your editing skills excellent Alex 👍

Morning James, haha you made me chuckle 🤣 It really was not that difficult and it could have been better if I could only remember not to get arms in the way. Thank you for the lovely comment👍

Many thanks and glad you enjoyed 👍

Great video fella, only thing I would say is that you can't use the touchscreen when the bike is in motion, only the switchgear operates the functions

[@blearyview2254]

Hello David, thanks for the great comment. Oh did not know that, never tried to use it but good to know. Cheers.

[@michaelaspden1732]

Thank you for the video,it really helped me understand the left hand controls when i bought my nt1100 dct.Apple car play on the bike is great,but unfortunately only mirrors my phone.When the carplay drops out due to cell phone reception,the screen goes blank,and i have to stop the bike,disconnect and reconnect my phone,then it may work again.I have decided to get a garmin zumo xt, which can also play music,send and recieve calls etc.

[@blearyview2254]

Hello Michael and thank for the kind words. Go and have a look at @kimetogo he may just have a solution for you regards Apple play although he uses the Android version. I hope you are enjoying the NT1100 as I certainly am one year on.

😳 it’s a shame there isn’t an emoji for “over the top of my head” 😂. Such a lot of information there Alex, I couldn’t ever imagine using half of it. Nice 3 video in video capture, very impressive 👍

[@blearyview2254]

I spent about 90% of my working life making a living out of technology so this stuff is not so bad for me and find the whole thing very intuitive, but then you would hope I did haha. I would change a few things if I were to do something similar but every time is a learning process. I am playing around with a couple of different videos that shows the complete forward view from a camera mounted on the nose of the bike and blend in a view from another camera of the dashboard. I kind of like it and may just stick it out there for folk to comment on. The software available to us amateurs is so powerful that we barely scratch the surface regards use of the functionality and the learning experience is something I really enjoy.

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

@@blearyview2254 I never thought, that without spending a fortune, I would be able to produce decent quality ride videos, but here we are doing just that. Ok, so the PC I bought a couple of years ago was about £700, a basic but quite powerful gaming pc. The amazing free to use Davinci Resolve 18, has transformed how I edit and produce the vids. I am seriously enjoying learning how to edit, and only scratch the surface of it’s capabilities. Then we get onto the DJI Osmo Action 3, absolutely, bloody fantastic footage. £1100 is a lot of money, but well worth the investment to me. Cheers, keep up the good work.

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

@@blearyview2254 by my own admission (though Ann keeps telling me off for saying it), I am not the brightest button in the tin, and can get quite infuriated when I just can’t pick things up, but when I know the task is daunting, I work hard at getting to know how to do stuff, and feel a genuine sense of pride once I have mastered something. Fortunately, there are so many tutorials on KZbin nowadays, it’s a shame we didn’t have them when I was growing up, things may have been different for me. Cheers

Yes it a smashing bike. The indicator stalk is too small by far and I find myself with the same problem. I am hoping summer gloves and muscle memory with help during the better weather.

How do you access the modes, do you have to be in drive or sport first?

[@blearyview2254]

Hello, the Drive control on the right hand side is where you select D, S1, S2, S3 and manual modes. The left hand side is where you selected Tour, Urban, Rain and the two user modes. You can change between the modes at anytime, moving or stopped, the Drive modes can be changed at standstill or indeed on the move. Hope this helps.

I have heard there were problems with the TFT screen but thankfully not with mine. speak to Honda, it a well known issue and they may sort it out for you.

[@jurajbaranek5815]

Hello, sorry for my English, I'm from Slovakia. There is stupidity. If you set the traction control to a value, that value remains the same for all modes. You cannot set traction control for TOUR mode, another traction control for URBAN mode, and so on so that it remains saved. So when you change the driving mode, you also have to change the traction control. Since P and EB change automatically with the mode change, the traction control set by me should also change automatically. I can't get in touch with a competent person from HONDA, but this could be solved with some kind of update.

[@blearyview2254]

Hello, I have never changed the traction control so cannot comment, can you not use one of the User settings?

[@jurajbaranek5815]

It cannot be changed individually for each driving mode. Power and Engine Brake can be saved for each mode separately at your discretion, but traction control cannot. Neither for User1 and User2
