Looks simple enough once you have the fairings off, but aren't you missing a step? Don't Honda recommend flushing the system with clean tap water?

thanks for posting -i just couldn't work it out

I did not go into removing that much for my coolant.

TYVM

Nice Garage!!! Super Organized 👍

According to my factory manual, there is another drain bolt in the engine block as well. I’m guessing that there may be an area where old coolant might get trapped? Dunno... but a deeper dig and probably not worth going after. I think as long as you get the vast majority out, your probably in good shape. I bumped into another fellow rider once who said he just pulled the most lowest radiator hose off to dump the fluid. If this was an easier project, I would just do it more often, but yikes! I certainly appreciate your efforts in this video and find it extremely helpful. I will seriously contemplating trimming that plastic flap off with a Dremel tool tho.

Man.... I’m all about doing things the proper way via manufacturer’s procedure, but this is ridiculous. I think what annoys me the most is that it didn’t have to be this complicated. Honda could have easily prevented all of this especially for a routine maintenance procedure. Ugh 🤦‍♂️

Thanks for this. Very useful video. You would have thought that removing the seat would be incredibly simple but it has its quirks. I have a question: my bike doesn't seem to have that rubber piece that fits between the tank and the seat. Is that a problem or is it unnecessary? Thanks again.

There are another two screws to remove on 2007 model .. Remove windscreen ; remove small panels ;; remove screw on each side ... If you pull the surround as shown in the video it will shatter to bits .. Then you will see the offending anchoring screws attached to your broken bits +++

Great video. Thank you ! Great advice on buying a Japanese screwdriver. Only $9 on E-Bay. (JIS Screwdriver) Learned the hard way when I bleed my breaks on my NT. Besides metric, any other tools you recommend to buy ? What size torx's do you recommend on a budget that you'll need to work on my NT ? Thank you

Would you mind telling us about the cruising pegs/bars and the running lights on front wheel?

Thank you ! 👍

Thank you ! 👍

in < 2009 years, the dash cowl has 2 additional screws holding it down; these are accessed under the removable panels which flank the windshield.

Thanks for making this very helpful video on seat removal. I’ll try to remove my seat tomorrow.

You do go on a bit .

Super. díky

Bang on I’ve been pissing about walking around the bike for an hour trying to figure that out.😎👍

great !! now a space to fit a bATTER TENDER OR trickle charger !

Be helpful to show how to do it if you don't have the vacuum tools

Great video. Thanks for making it.

Thanks so verry much.I have change my Pan (became to heavy)for a second han Deauville.This vide's are verry helpfull.Greatings from Belgium.

2 minutes with this video vs 2 hours before...THANK YOU!!!

There is no need to go through whole procedure, if you remove the right side fairing pocket and you will be able to see the plastic cover above the cap, just cut away that little section and you have excellent access to the coolant cap without the need to totally strip down the front end

Having issues getting my seat latch to release. Any suggestions?

Thanks for making this video as I just bought a Second hand one from the Auctions so this video was really helpful to me

Hello capozzr, Always glad to see others contributing to the library of “how to” videos regarding the NT. If you do things the “right way” there is always a plethora tabs, screws, pins and clips hiding in places the manual conveniently forgets to mention. Videos like yours certainly gives folks an idea what their in for “before” they attempt a procedure and hopefully reduces frustration and lots of broken plastic. LOL I have posted a few myself and from one NT owner to another, I enjoyed watching yours. Nice garage BTW!

Great information mate thank you for taking the time! But what a load of faffing about just to get to the coolent!!🤬🤬🤬🤬 I was going to get one of these bikes now I’m gonna consider my options! 🤬🤔🤔🤔

thank you for this video, I'm always afraid I'll break something removing fairings. Appreciated

Magnífica explicación del montaje y desmontaje de piezas en la Deauville. Es una pena que no esté el vídeo completo desde el inicio, con la moto intacta. Pero enhorabuena por la utilidad y la profesionalidad, incluyendo al desconocido cameraman.

Great detail as the manual never tells you all the information - Thanks

MERCI !!! Thank You my friend !!! I should nerver be able without your help ! Please to meet you. Lucio (www.bodygeez.com)

Thank you for your very quick response. I am enjoying watching your videos very detailed

Do you use automotive coolant and not motorcycle specific coolant?

Thanks very much - the manual instructions are awful!

Thank you very much for making this video, you have saved me from either doing a lot of unnecessary work or from damaging my bike, I thought that my cable had stretched and was not releasing all the catches. My battery is now on charge. Thanks again.

Thank you!

We all have our way of doing things. I prefer not cutting up my bike but you can of course do just that if so desire. You may want to post a video on how you cut up your bike to speed up you coolant service. That may be helpful to others looking to do the same.

Thank you for helping other bikers. Your video was really useful. Will surely keep an eye on your videos.

Yes you can alter the body to provide access to the radiator cap. However, I use a tool to pull coolant into the system and avoid air pockets. Altering the fairing does not provide enough room for the tool. So removing the fairing is not unnecessary for me. There are always short cuts to be taken. I am showing how to do it per the service manual. Removing the body work is often intimidating for many and this provides an opportunity to show that other than a little time, removing the fairing is quite doable. Removing the fairing is useful for many other maintenance activities. I hope others find it helpful.

Thank you for your time and effort in putting this video together. However I agree with Anthony, why would you do all of this unnecessary work? I have a 2010 NT700 and when I removed the fairing pocket you can see the radiator cap under a thin 1/8 inch plastic cover. I felt under the cover to make sure no wiring would be in the way and in less than 5 minutes I trimmed the cover back enough to access the radiator cap and remove it! Doing this saved hours of work and in my opinion does no structural harm to the fairing. If you wish, you can trim the cover from the back side and leave a 3/4 inch portion attached. Then when you replace the coolant, you can simply duct tape the cover back in place (if you feel that removing it will cause a self destruct mode!)

Very useful, thank you

My friend came around with his NT700 to do this, it was an easy enough job once I got the Hot Knife out to cut that tab above the Radiator Plug away. Cheeky Honda putting that labour causing tab in there. If you can think of a purpose for it I'd be interested in why it's there.

is there enough space around the battery area to fit a small alarm unit? i couldn't really see very well. Although an alarm right next to the battery would be easy to disconnect they would still have to open the pannier and remove the seat to get to the alarm to do so and i assume a simple pressure switch on either would stop that

Thanks for this, great insight into the inner sanctum of this beautiful bike! Greatly appreciated.

Great video, thank you once again! One question, I've noticed in forums people mentioning that by removing the Cowl it is easier to replace the headlight on the bike. From your experience is this the case?Thanks

Why are the plastic blocks necessary? I thought that was the purpose of the assist are, i.e. to hold the tire in the drop center of the rim.

Thanks. Very detailed. One question, What are the bars lower of the fairing ?

Looks like something went wrong uploading Video resolution doesn't look properly scaled :-/ Yet, very usevul video, thanks!
