This guy is directly responsible for saving tens of thousands of $£€ of thousands of drivers and making them more confident with doing their own maintenance. Thank you!
Thank you very much for the demonstration. Honestly, Honda should not require strictly authorized dealers to do this task. Any average person like me can do this, safely so.😊
Thank you, great video! It looks a simple enough set of tasks, but if done without care (or love!), there are lots of things that can go wrong - fairing bits pulled out roughly breaking fasteners, overtightened bolts, wrong oil, etc. Now think about who is more likely to do this with care, love and diligence - the person for whom the bike is their pride and joy, or some random person at a dealership or mechanics. I've learned the hard way that no one is going to care about doing a good job on your bike more than you do. While there are plenty of jobs that I couldn't/wouldn't do myself, for everything else I DIY it. With excellent content creators like Nick, all the information you need is out there.
Just a little suggestion when using the sump plug washer again, hit the washer with some sandpaper. This way you remove the old “sealing” marks on the washer and you get a clean smooth washer again. Don’t forget to clean the washer afterwards.
Honda don't make oil filters, they buy them from oil filter companies and stamp Honda on them and charge you more money. Its only wise in todays economic crisis to think smart and save money
This is what youtube was invented for. Just done mine and many thanks indeed . Can I just point out,on my 2018 NC 750 dct, the right hand fixing screw is longer than the left one. Baffled me for a few mins if I am honest.
Just subscribed, nice clear video and good info. I prefer to use a torque wrench where values are given. I have a Honda oil filter removal tool which is used for removing and replacing the filter without causing any damage. It also allows a torque wrench to be used to tighten the filter up to it 26 lb ft figure. Ex mechanic so I have a lot of the tools to hand.
First try and undo the oil filter by hand. Then increase your tools until it comes loose. You don't need the fancy wrench if you can't afford one. The cheaper ones, like chain straps, don't work. When doing it up, a bare hand grip only. If you get stuck a local bike shop may lend you a pro-tool for an afternoon FoC if you are polite. As long as you have a second mode of transport, have at it.
In an emergency you can "hack it off" with a screwdriver rammed through it and used for leverage. When that fails you have pretty much opened it like a can anyway, so strip it back and grab the actual core with vice grips to crack it open. If someone else serviced your bike last time... don't go back. Oh... and expect a LOT of mess to clean up.
Nice vid pal. May I ask, does the oil level have to be done on the stand or off? My biffer has to be on the ground held up. Didnt know if it made a difference for the NC. I ask as I'm looking at buying a 21k 2016 model soon. Ride safe
This is the best, most clear, and in-depth video I've seen for changing oil on this bike. I have a couple questions though: I know you said you can re-use the crush washer if you flip it around, but what do I buy to replace it if I think a previous owner might've flipped it or reused it in the past and I want to be safe with a new one? Is it a part I can find in my local automotive parts shops, or do I need to order through Honda? Also, I thought the draining procedure is best done on the side stand, rather than the center stand? Is that true? The center stand is used when checking the oil level.
Nick can I just ask how did you get the coms recorded in both helmets when you rode together, I have Cardo and DJI action 3 and just doesn't play, You see us youtuber's keep the idea for future content, your camera is always going to call you now 🤣whould be great to know your setup
@@nicksepisode OK cheers, I have the wireless dji it's just pulling all the data off and sinking, I may have found a way with Y lead, hope you through the odd bit content, it pays for your petrol, meant to say You should of bought the NC DCT🤣🤣👍
I am glad I saw if I could loosen the oil filter first as my chain wrench would not budge it so ordered a better one like yours. By the way what was the 17mm socket for?
Thank you for the video. It is really easy to understand. I have just one thing I need help with. What's the sice of sump bolt please? Is it like M12X1.25? Thank you.
Good clear video well done. I am all for DIY and saving some cash but does your home servicing and use of non Honda filter invalidate your bike's warranty? And ... where did you get the magnetic drain bolt?
*HEY GUYS, I NEED SOME HELP!* I changed my oil and oil filter yesterday on my 2011 kawasaki ninja 250 and when I went to tight the filter cover and oil filter mounting bolt, I broke the filter cover.. It's in pieces and I've been searching all over to get a replacement but where's a good place to order one? Or could I use another oil filter cover at maybe a local hardware or bike shop??
Nick, thanks for this helpful video. Question if you have time to reply... Is that an aftermarket oil drain plug? My 2013 doesn't have magnetic plug, so I'm curious if I can order one through my local dealer.
the stock header is prone to rust, but its only surface rust, i use it all year round, with cleaning weekly this can be prevented, but im ok with a rusty header as most of it is hidden
I haven't watched the video yet but I was wondering for your wife to move up to a bigger bike wouldn't this be a great option and in an auto ? Can she touch her feet on the ground or toes on your bike ? Andrew

1:30, I believe the correct oil filter is the one bought directly from Honda.
This will fit but it's not the correct one.

The tool linked is 6.99, does the same job as my snap on one, I'm yet to find an nc750x filter hand loose after a year of use, but you never know 😅

On the centre stand so the bike is upright
Hi nick I have put motul in my bikes . Might try the castrol.
HI Neil, I've never tried motul I've heard nothing but good things about it, but I choose Castrol as its recommended by Honda
Nice vid! Thanks! saved me a small fortune :)

You can use a car drain washer too. Centre stand is best for drainage. Thanks for watching

You should pour oil into the filter before screwing it on.

Love your video .any idea how much oil in the dct version please is it 4.1 l ? Or 3.4 l ?
DCT type:
3.2 liters (3.4 US qt, 2.8 Imp qt) at draining
3.4 liters (3.6 US qt, 3.0 Imp qt) at oil filter change
4.1 liters (4.3 US qt, 3.6 Imp qt) at disassembly
@@nicksepisode Why did you use only 3L of oil for oil + filter change?
Just read the description, you poured 3,4l total.
@@tekoslabse best thing to do is top up gradually and check yourself

Exhaust looks v rusty from underside shots? Does your acf treatment not prevent this. My bike 16yrs old chrome exhausts and almost as new
the stock header is prone to rust, but its only surface rust, i use it all year round, with cleaning weekly this can be prevented, but im ok with a rusty header as most of it is hidden
Would like to know if there is a chance to use hf303 hiflo oil filter instead of hf204 for the bike
Always use what's recommended. They may look the same but internals could differ
