honda x-adv performance upgrade with DCT and chain baseline first
I am planning a honda x-adv performance upgrade, but the bike has DCT behavior, chain drive and enough weight that random parts can make it feel worse instead of faster.
I found this related page while comparing notes: honda x-adv performance upgrade. I wanted a practical thread before ordering parts.
Would you check DCT service history, chain slack, sprocket wear, air filter, plugs, fault codes, tire pressure, brake drag, fuel range and same-road roll-on tests first?
