Thank you for sharing this. I’m looking at a Deauville for my first motorcycle and it’s very encouraging to hear how well they run when properly maintained

@riderramblings Ай бұрын

As a first motorcycle you may find the NT700V a little heavy. Having said that, they are lovely bikes suited to both commuting and touring.

@geoffsmith1616 3 ай бұрын

Very interesting, I do love a deau.. I have had a few 700s one with the non adjustable (mechanical) screen and one with the sliding affair (post 07 iirc) also both my bikes had iffy latches on the pannier lids .. a weak design by Honda but probably not helped by neglect and road grime sticking to grease applied by previous owners? How are your catches on the panniers , oh yes and the plug caps I had a misfire which was rectified by new caps Thanks for sharing your magnificent machine I am in awe at how many miles she’s done in your ownership and how sweet she sounds a credit to you no doubt

When I got the Deauville new in 2010 I joined a couple of Deauville Forums and the main topic of discussion was the pannier latches. The consensus was that you needed to close the lids carefully, not slam them and, if they didn't close correctly, investigate and solve the problem or they would break. I took this advice to heart and, I've had nearly no problems with the latches. I have managed to crack the plastic on the inside of the lid where the catches attach with 2 screws. Baking Powder and superglue fixed that. The left hand side one, which I open and close a minimum of 4 times a day (usually well over 10 times a day), is getting tired. I will remove the plastic body panel and investigate at some point when it's raining but a bit warmer in the garage.

@@riderramblings well that not bad after that many cycles !, yes I hear slamming them is not the way to, I watched an American chap on you tube who had one and said the same thing I believe he still has his one to form many many years ago

A big thank you from South Wales UK, Recently bought a 2006 Deauville, love it, would like to raise the handle bars like you have done, would you mind passing on some more information on this subject? what type and any adjustments to cables etc. Many thanks!

@riderramblings 2 ай бұрын

Hi George, I raised the handle bars by about an inch. Up to 25mm you do not need to lengthen any of the cables or brake hoses. My bar-risers have been on now for about 10 years. I bought mine on ebay, but having had a quick look, the ones advertised are either not the correct ones or very expensive. I've had a look on Amazon and found some that might work for you (note the top piece is not required as you reuse the Honda one). You will need to check that the diameter is correct and whether you want them angled towards you or not. _Hlyjoon 22mm Universal Motorcycle Handle Bar Riser_ and _ANCLLO CNC Handlebar Riser Bars Kit 22mm Motorcycle_ and _CNC Motorcycle Riser Lifting Handlebar Clamp Fit for NC700X NC700S NC750X NC750S CB500F CB500._ Link below has quite a number for you to look at if the two I mentioned don't take your fancy. amzn.to/3UqXjKg

@@riderramblings Thank you for letting me know, should i go to Honda to purchase the correct risers?

@riderramblings 2 ай бұрын

@@georgestanton660 I don't believe Honda makes them. I've checked the fiche and can't see a part listed. You need to decide whether you need the bars angling more towards you or not. Mine are the non-angled version similar to these: amzn.to/3xBViBZ (Note, as I bought mine from ebay 10 years ago these are not exactly the same as the ones I bought). I also note they are offering free returns on these so, if you don't like them, you can send them back.

What about valve adjustment?

@riderramblings Ай бұрын

Because of my job I didn't do most of the servicing, it was done by the Honda Dealership I bought her from and was done according to the schedule. Some of the services took more than a day to complete. So, valve adjustment was done by the book by them.

Before I fitted my road 6 tyres I had very little confidence riding in the wet , not anymore

@riderramblings Ай бұрын

With Michelins I could ride in the wet how most people could ride in the dry. Out of all the Michelin tyres the PR3 (no longer available) were the best in the wet.

Brake pads 12 000 km ?????? Me = 50 000 km !!

@riderramblings 2 ай бұрын

The Deauville is used as the commuter bike in and around Paris so eats brake pads like nobodies business. The FJR, on the other hand, is used for touring and, so far has done 27,000 km and the pads are less than half worn...
