2018 Honda NC 750X / DCT Overview
The 2018 Honda NC 750X / DCT is a scooter motorcycle built around 745 cc of displacement. Under the tank sits a Four stroke , Parallel twin, SOHC, 4 valves per cylinder engine, a compression ratio of 10.7:1. 2018 Honda NC 750X / DCT delivers 40.3 kW @ 6250 rpm of peak power and 68 Nm of torque. From a practical standpoint, the 2018 NC 750X / DCT tips the scales at 220 kg, carries a 14.1-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 830 mm and spans a 1540 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 22.3 kg heavier than the average scooter motorcycle in our database. Scroll down for the complete 2018 Honda NC 750X / DCT spec sheet covering every technical detail from suspension travel to tyre sizes.
2018 NC 750X / DCT - Pros & Cons
Strengths
-
⚡
Strong power output: 2018 Honda NC 750X / DCT makes 40.3 kW @ 6250 rpm with 68 Nm of torque - competitive figures for its class.
-
🔧
Fuel injection: The PGM-FI electronic fuel injection system delivers crisp throttle response and reliable cold starts regardless of altitude or temperature.
Considerations
-
📏
Tall seat height: The 830 mm seat height will challenge shorter riders - tiptoeing at low speeds is something to factor into your decision.
-
⚙️
Chain final drive upkeep: Chain final drive needs regular cleaning, lubrication and tension checks to get full life out of the sprockets.
Wear Points & Servicing Notes
Cooling system servicing
The Liquid-cooled system on the NC 750X / DCT needs a coolant change roughly every two years (or per the service schedule) - skipping it lets the coolant turn acidic and corrode the aluminium water passages over time.
Fuelling & injector care
Fuelling comes from PGM-FI electronic fuel injection. Systems like this are largely maintenance-free beyond keeping fuel quality decent and injectors clear - a fuel-system cleaner every service interval is cheap insurance.
Brake disc and pad wear
The Single 320 mm hydraulic disc 2 piston calipers and sintered metal pads front brake gives strong, progressive stopping power. Disc thickness and pad depth are worth checking at every tyre change, since worn pads can score the disc surface.
Suspension condition on used examples
Up front, the NC 750X / DCT runs 41 mm telescopic forks and Single monoshock damper at the rear. On a used example, check fork seals for weeping oil and test the rear linkage for play - seals are a relatively cheap fix but useful when negotiating price.
Final drive maintenance
Final drive is by chain - expect to clean and lube it every few hundred kilometres and check tension regularly; a neglected chain wears the sprockets faster than the chain itself.
Frame & chassis check
The frame is Rigid tube steel diamond - worth a visual check for corrosion or impact damage around the head-stock and swingarm pivot on any used example, since frame damage is far costlier to fix than any service item.
Handling the weight at a standstill
At 220 kg, the NC 750X / DCT is a substantial machine - low-speed manoeuvring in car parks takes more physical effort than on a lighter bike, though the weight disappears once rolling.
NC 750X / DCT - Buying & Maintenance Guide
What to check before buying
When inspecting a used 2018 Honda NC 750X / DCT, start with the basics: check the service book for oil change frequency, inspect the chain and sprockets for wear, and look for oil seepage around the engine casings and rocker covers. A cold start test is invaluable - a well-maintained NC 750X / DCT should fire up cleanly and settle to a smooth idle within a few seconds.
Oil and filter changes
Regular oil changes are the single most important maintenance task on any NC 750X / DCT. Stick to the manufacturer's interval - typically every 6,000 km or once a year, whichever comes first. Always use the correct viscosity grade as specified in the owner's manual.
Fuel system care
The NC 750X / DCT's fuel injection system is durable but benefits from quality fuel and the occasional use of a fuel-system cleaner additive. If the bike has been stored for more than three months, drain and replace the fuel to prevent varnish deposits in the injectors.
