Quick answerThe US-market NC750X uses a plain cut key with no immobilizer, according to Honda's 2018 US owner's manual. A lost key is cut to the bike on site. What makes this bike different is how much depends on that key: the front luggage box and the rear seat both lock with it, and you cannot refuel without opening the rear seat.

Honda NC750X key quick facts

  • The 2018 US NC750X manual, covering manual and DCT versions, has no HISS or immobilizer section.
  • The bike is supplied with two ignition keys and a key tag with a key number and bar code.
  • The fuel filler is under the rear seat, which is released with the ignition key in its own lock.
  • The front luggage box, where a fuel tank would normally be, opens with the ignition key in a separate lock.
  • Honda's manual says to take the spare key and key tag to your dealer or a locksmith for a duplicate.

Plain key on the US bike

The NC750X is another Honda where the US and European bikes part ways. Honda's worldwide HISS list includes the NC700X and NC750X, and European manuals warn that losing all keys means replacing the control unit. The 2018 US owner's manual says nothing of the kind. Its Keys section describes two ignition keys and a key tag, tells you a duplicate can be made by your dealer or a locksmith, and has no immobilizer indicator in the instrument pages.

So on a US-market NC750X with a plain key, a correctly cut key is all that is needed. If your bike is an import or you see a HISS light on the dash, mention it when you call, and we confirm from your VIN.

Three locks, one key, and the fuel filler

The NC's layout puts the fuel tank under the seat and a storage box where the tank usually is. That gives the key more to do than on most bikes.

  • Ignition switch with steering lock: push the key down and turn to LOCK. The key comes out in OFF or LOCK.
  • Rear seat lock: insert the key and turn counterclockwise, then lift the front of the rear seat. The manual states the rear seat must be opened for refueling.
  • Luggage box lock: insert the key and turn clockwise, then lift the front of the lid. It locks automatically when closed.
  • Helmet holder: under the rear seat, used with the helmet set wire from the tool kit

The luggage box and the rear seat lock

First, the luggage box. It is big enough for a helmet, it locks itself when you push the lid down, and Honda's manual warns in plain words to take care not to lock your key in it. The same warning appears for the rear seat. A key shut in the box is a lockout, not a lost key, and we can open it on site.

Second, the rear seat lock. Because the filler is under that seat, a seat lock that will not turn means you cannot put fuel in the bike. If the key is starting to bind there, do not wait for it to fail at a gas station. On any bike a worn key is a common cause, and a fresh key cut to the lock often cures it; a lock that is damaged can be repaired or replaced.

All keys lost

We confirm ownership with photo ID and the registration or title, cut a key to the bike's locks where it is parked, and test it in the ignition, rear seat and luggage box. There is no programming on a US-market bike.

Honda's manual says that if you lose every key and the key tag, the ignition switch assembly will probably have to be removed by the dealer to determine the key number. Keep the key tag at home, not in the luggage box, so it is still there when you need it.

Where to find the key code

On the key tag supplied with the two original keys, printed with the key number and a bar code. Honda says to store it with the spare key. Without it, the number can be worked out from the bike's locks.

What to have ready

Have this ready when you call or text

  • Year, make and model of the bike
  • Where the bike is parked
  • Whether you have any working key, a broken key or a key code
  • Photo ID and registration or title (we verify ownership before making a key)

Honda NC750X key FAQ

Does the US NC750X have a chip key?

The 2018 US owner's manual has no immobilizer section and describes plain ignition keys. Bikes sold in Europe and other markets can have HISS, so an import may differ.

I locked my key in the NC750X front storage box. What can I do?

Call us. The lid latches automatically when closed, which is why Honda's manual warns about it, and we can open it where the bike is parked.

My key will not open the rear seat and I need fuel. Is that a key or a lock problem?

It can be either. A worn key is a common cause on any bike, so try your spare first. If neither key works, the lock needs attention, and we can deal with it on site.
