With that said, in this episode I am servicing Honda's 2016 NC700X DCT ABS. I recently purchased this motorcycle and want to make sure it is properly serviced and safe to ride. I will be performing an oil change, servicing the DCT, checking the health of the charging system, the lights and horn, the cooling system (coolant level and fan operation), inspecting the braking system (fluid level and clarity, pad thickness, actual function), inspecting the tires and valve stems, cleaning, lubing and inspecting the chain, inspecting the suspension, etc.
While these procedures are performed on a specific motorcycle, they are applicable to a wide variety of motorcycles.
Honda's 2016 NC700X DCT ABS is a game changer! With aggressive Adventure Bike styling, clever large-capacity storage, comfy ergonomics, easy handling, insanely good fuel mileage, linear power delivery, and ABS brakes. Best of all, this model has Honda's ground-breaking Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT). This "smart" transmission can be set on fully automatic or manual. It also has two automatic shift settings - Drive and Sport.
What is it like to service? How do you service a DCT motorcycle? Let's find out!
I don’t have this bike, but I saw one yesterday and it interested me. You did a fantastic job of explaining the needs of your bike. Your explanations were very user friendly for anyone that buys or currently owns the NC. Unfortunately for me, I’m not a chain drive kind of a rider, I prefer shaft drive since it’s cleaner, in my humble opinion. Thanks tho, it was a pleasure viewing your process.
Thanks, Jesus! I have reviewed many bikes on this channel (lots of shaft-drive bikes as well as chain-drive machines). You can check out my motorcycle review playlist here: th-cam.com/play/PL0gjN9hf6pSrz8x_DmMFEtJj_w65wQG_M.html
Just bought one of these and the seller sent me this video. Epic
So cool! There are several NC700X videos on this channel including a review and several comparisons. Here's a link to the playlist: th-cam.com/play/PL0gjN9hf6pSptPx5cJ-LNIKzLGNoLp_pp.html&si=-2B2OVzZ7jRYA2Mc
Very nice, thank you sir, next video air filter change...
I would if I could... the NC700X has found a new home at this point. Cheers!
Picked up a 2014 700x with DCT a month back with 4000 miles on it, two year old tires, and recently serviced. I'm loving it so far. I just wasn't sure how to maintain it because there was no manual whatsoever. Now, I'm covered. Thanks!
You're welcome!
you can download a manual
Thank you for this very informative video on the Honda NC700X DCT bike.
You're welcome!
They are a nightmare to do , I did mine last year , but enjoyed your video , and like the bike
Right on. I've done that job, and it is a nightmare, though not as bad as a CT700. Cheers!
Great Video! thx!
...use torque wrench specially on bolts used on a metric bike. However...There are places that even a torque wrench can get you into BIG TROUBLE QUICK... handle bar clamps for one!
Thanks David!
Sounds like we picked up similar used NCs. Mine is a 2016 bought from a coworker. Only had 1,400 miles or so on it 2 yrs ago, just under 9,000 now. Getting ready to do an oil change, coolant drain/fill, and brake fluid replacement. Then I'll be good for a couple more years.
It is hard to beat the low maintenance and efficiency of the NC!
@@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 threw new tires on it last Spring. That made a world of difference in handling.
@@porkchop10 Agreed, it's amazing the difference new tires make on a bike.
Cool lights on the forks
Thanks! The previous owner installed them.
Excellent - very helpful, thank you!
You're welcome!
Great service thanks
You're welcome!
Excellent, thanks!
You're welcome!
Where did you get the additional brake light with blinkers? Easy/hard to install?
Hi Ryan, I'm sorry I don't know. They were on the NC when I bought it.
Every 12k km the valve clearance has to be checked. Have you done this aswell?
Great question. I haven't performed a valve clearance check on an NC700X.
Hey any help, my 2015 nc700x been sitting for awhile turns on replaced spark and low on fuel so added some, change battery too, but only turns on and cranks doesn’t run?
Can you hear the fuel pump when you first switch it on?
I enjoyed that
Right on!
I got problem with my bike 2013 model 700 automatic but doesn't want to move from 1to gear 2
Wat cn be the problem please
when you lubricated the chain that was wrong because you have to put the grease on the inside of the chain and then the grease can do his work now its flying directly to the rear wheel and does not do his job well grts from belgium
Hi Joseph, newer chains are internally lubricated and sealed with o-rings. Cleaning them and lubricating them is more about removing abrasive grime and then protecting the links from corrosion on the outside. I make sure all exterior surfaces of the chain are coated with the chain wax - it doesn't sling off the chain like traditional lube. Cheers!
В фильтр масло наливать не нужно..)
Предварительное заполнение масляного фильтра помогает давлению масла подняться немного быстрее при первом запуске после замены масла. Вам не обязательно это делать, но я продолжу предварительно заполнять фильтр. Ваше здоровье!
@@jonsmotorcyclerescueandrev3538 теоретически промасляную бумагу быстрее порвёт давлением, чем сухую.. Две лишние секунды на заполнение фильтра роли не сыграют, в двигателе остаётся масляная плёнка..
This motorcycle is not 700 cc as it says on the side, there is a problem, please check the registration license in your country's government agency.
What about air filter ?
The mileage didn't warrant the air-filter replacement yet. There are dedicated videos covering that job on TH-cam. Cheers!
"E-Brake"? Dude it's a parking brake. Not for emergencies! If you did use it as an emergency brake it will be locked on and if tightly adjusted lockup your rear wheel, then you really will have an emergency while riding one-handed.
Push your glasses up, you win the award 🤓 Cheers!
