Honda NC750X Spark Plug Change

[@lesbishop7016]

Good video Adrian, especially for those who may be faint of heart and fearful of such relatively minor work on their machine.... It's worth mentioning that when re-inserting the plugs, whilst holding the socket as level as possible and applying a light pressure inwards along the axis of the plug, turning the thing back the way first until you feel the two thread starts "click", then turning clockwise to screw in, should prevent cross threading and subsequent damage to the alloy head!

[@garthhowe297]

Thanks..I just got an NC750X, and now I know the plugs are so easy to get to. In Canada we get a long winter, so pulling the plugs to oil fog the cylinders is a good idea. My last bike I didn't, as the plugs were buried.

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Garth Howe - yep. Know what you mean. My wife has a Honda 500x and that’s a real pain to get at the plugs.

[@garthhowe297]

My trade-in on the NC750x was a CB500F ... so probably exactly the same to get to the plugs.

[@alanhenderson3417]

Great video as usual.....I prefer to watch/someone to show me how to do jobs then I feel more confident than reading straight from a manual......thanks for posting👍

[@mrfechu6281]

Thanks for your useful videos!!. Official dealer tried to charge me 200 USD to change both spark plugs at the 12k service. I just said no way, and now I se I did the right thing. They warned me that this could void the warranty if future problems could be related to this "bad maintennance".

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Mr Fechu - and they wonder why everyone complains about poor service ! It’s why I decided to “take the risk” and do all my own maintenance from day 1.

[@rocketron6677]

Nice that you have so much space in your garage. Makes life easy. I’m not so lucky.

[@TheDervMan]

I remember the days when you changed plugs every year 😱 You should put a tripod on your Xmas list as doing stuff over handed looks awkward! Great video 👍🏻

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

DervMan - got a tripod. Just too slack to use it.

[@TheDervMan]

Honda NC750X Stuff Typical bloke 🤣👍🏻

[@maltesedonkey]

Thanks as always. Nice and easy job but it least you didn’t have to replace them. They almost look brand-new. A bit of a brushing and I would’ve been happy to put them straight back in.

[@mrfechu6281]

That's why I love your channel. Waiting for more...

[@bigwheelsturning]

On aluminum blocks I always put a bit of Anti-seize on the threats before I screw them back in by hand. Then torque them up in stages to the final setting.

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

bigwheelsturning - yes. Like you, I was in the habit of lubing. There is a lot of contradictory argument about whether to lube or not. I was finally convinced not to lube by an article by the plug manufacturer. But I haven’t seen any harm in using appropriate lube.

[@1bike2up]

Yet another great video

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Tony Bigt - thanks mate. Appreciate the feedback.

[@crispernator]

Gday mate ive just recieved a set of iridium plugs for the cb the 100,000 km is why i bought them as you will know why . I found this mob on the net in australia called spark plugs online and they worked out at a reasonable price for the two express post 9.00 delivered the next day cant beat that .

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Wow. That’s cheap. Wendy’s bike didn’t specify iridium but given how much of a pain they are to change, it’s a good move to use iridium.

[@crispernator]

@@AfricaTwin-Stuff yes after seeing what is involved in getting at them i want it to be a once in a lifetime event

[@iribertomuller7868]

Thanks Adrian. Excellent and useful video.

[@ГлебкаЖиглов-ю1в]

please tell us how to repair the rear monoshock or equivalent

[@ropeysubstance1719]

did you swap out the crush washer with a new one, or perhaps flip it to the other side?

[@mikkei3532]

I still ride in OEM Sparks - 56kkm in 19 year old in cbr600f - no problem at all i check it twice and they are in superb condition - Denso IUH27D

[@ukgardener973]

Great video, how many spark plugs does the bike have?

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

2

[@raptor074]

Can i use copper plugs ?

[@oscaranton4400]

Did you use an adjustable torque wrench to make sure you get 22Nm? Read somewhere that excess of torque may damage the engine block in the medium term. Thx!

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Oscar Anton - no I didn’t. But it’s best to use one if you are inexperienced or unsure. I’ve been maintaining my bikes for 46 years so my arm is my torque wrench for everything other than engine head bolts.

[@Oddingen]

Takk!

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Wow. Thank you so much.

[@davidleoncampbell]

I currently have 62000+ miles (100,000+ Km)on my original plugs and still going strong. Do have replacement plugs available if/when my fuel mileage starts decreasing...Today's plugs should be good for 100,000+ miles or longer (especially Iridium plugs).

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Yes. I agree.

[@burakaydn4553]

I have 52000 km on my NC 750 X and I was thinking about changing the spark plugs. Now, I am confused After reading this comment. Maybe I can go for another 50k km with these plugs :) Dont have any problem though.

[@davidleoncampbell]

@@burakaydn4553 I did change my plugs at 64000 miles, doe to I was moving a thousand miles. Kept the old plugs as backup-they we're still good. After the move, I changed the plugs in my car at 160000 kms.

[@stevelookatherfn1085]

Hi With what torque (Nm) the spark plugs are tightened again?

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

SteveLookAtHer FN - I didn’t say as I just tighten till firm. But the manual says 22Nm

[@stevelookatherfn1085]

Ok, thank you!

[@ricardogomez9581]

Exelente video no sabes si es igual con la 700

[@D-Khalid]

Is it both sides of spark plug?

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Sorry. Don’t understand the question.

[@aminedest9929]

Thank you good Sir !

[@paulburns4806]

For a sceen adjuster see message below has a you tube channel too

[@keithau.]

Wow nice and easy to change your plugs Wish mine were that easy i have a Suzuki V-strom so i have to take the fuel tank and other bits off its a pain in the ???..

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

keith AU - yes, unfortunately most bikes are like that these days. It’s one of the main reasons I chose the NC (ease of maintenance) over my other possible choices of the V-storm or Versys.

[@DsCheng81]

Only one sparks plug?

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Den C - 2. I just didn’t want to bore you by doing the same thing again for the one next to it.

[@DsCheng81]

Can you do a video of how to replace the headlight plug (H4) and pole light?

[@robsonenduro3316]

almost 50k km and not a problem, no sense replacing before 80-100k.

[@mikkei3532]

it is a half engine of Honda Jazz 1.4 - it is bulletproof. My f4i has oem 18years old sparks - millage is 50kkm. works superb (denso iridium)
