Side Stand Removal and Repair - Honda NC750X

[@bernardgrobbelaar]

Your channel is amazing. It's like having my own NC750x DCT mechanic. Thank you so much for posting your videos solving all kinds of issues with your bike. I have exactly this problem and have been searching for a solution to solve it.

[@azizlenox]

Thanks a lot. Your channel is always at the top when searching for NC750 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@mikekern9412]

I’m glad I found your channel. I originally considered buying an Africa Twin for a daily commuter. Because of your great videos, I test rode the NC750X DCT. You convinced me with your easy maintenance videos and I now ride a 2019. This is the first new bike I’ve owned and so far the best bike I’ve had. Thank you, ride safe!

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Mike Kern - thanks mate. Glad you are enjoying it.

[@urbanfireblade]

I love these videos where they show exactly what to do step by step with commentary. Really good!

[@petep7410]

Great video, thanks very much. I was wondering why I couldn’t remove the side-stand bolt. I didn’t realise it actually screwed into the clamp, rather than just the nut holding it in place. Thanks again.

[@3goldfinger]

I had same problem on my Yamaha, and fixed it by grinding a bit of the stand and the other part, just enough to fit a washer in between, and no more play.

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Michael Andersen - yes I was expecting I would have to do that but mine wasn’t too bad. The beating I gave it was enough!

[@rainerbauder3537]

Thank you for sharing, have the same problem after I stepped onto the foot peg with the bike loaded for a road trip. That steel U-piece seems to give way quiet easily when exposed to too much weight. Great instructions.

[@gino924]

Thank you!!!. I was able to replace my bent side stand by just watching your video. 👍

[@Ray0155401]

Thanks SO much for all of your great videos! Just got my 750xd, your vids are very helpful...

[@tchicio]

Je vais vérifier ma béquille demain et l'a réparer s'il le faut . Merci bien pour cette vidéo .

[@Hoogy1]

Thx for this video, great details ! Awesome for my NC700X get the lowering back to normal use !

[@02bigkev]

You fixed the floppy and applied the lube, job done. :)

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

02bigkev - oh dear. Was I too obvious? 🤪

[@atransient]

Even though I can write in English I write in Russian. Просто для того, чтобы Вы знали, что ваш канал смотрят в России и для меня, как собственника Honda NC700X, он очень полезен. Это маленькая видео энциклопедия по обслуживанию этого мотоцикла. Спасибо!

[@kenlocke9806]

Thank you for posting all these informative videos, I learned a lot from them. You have a magnificent voice, sounds like you should be on a talk show or a FM station, may be you are. I have one question, what year is your NC750X?

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Thanks mate. It’s a 2016 model.

[@kenlocke9806]

@@AfricaTwin-Stuff , mine is 2017, every thing you did should work the same on my bike. Thanks.

[@gutterrashautomotive3361]

Great video, thank you for this. Will be giving it a go soon

[@HuskyRides]

I also have the floppy side stand syndrome.. i always thought it was on purpose so if u lean the bike over, there's some extra play so it does not take too much force. Maybe we will never know Honda's sloppyness...

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

HuskyRides - you could be right. It’s probably always been like that on mine, I’d just not noticed it. And it’s not really a “problem” that has to be fixed. But boredom and anal-retentiveness forces me to act!

[@HuskyRides]

@@AfricaTwin-Stuff Haha, at least you got something to do during these quarantine days..

[@SuperMegaSammy]

I tough it was feature all this time for 5 years i had NC700 lol.

[@stevetaylor8698]

@@AfricaTwin-Stuff Technically, I would suggest it is "floppy sidestand disorder" rather than syndrome. You can tell I'm bored. I just wish my DIY attempts went so well.

[@robans]

Is that locking nut you bouht M10 or inch thread? I tried M10 and it is not going on.

[@MrBeracah]

Wish I could aluminium weld like you. Thanks

[@paullown4261]

Hi. Do you think you and your hammer might consider applying for a job with Honda.

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

paul lown - the letter is in the mail 😃

[@sshah876]

Thanks for the video guide, Any link/hint to kill switch removal?

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

I like the kill switch on the side stand. It’s a nice safety feature. Tends to ruin your day if you ride off with the stand down then tip the bike into a tight corner.

[@sshah876]

@@AfricaTwin-Stuff yep, it's great safety switch, I cracked mine, needs replacement now, don't know how to remove that whole switch assembly until connector.

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Ok. It’s easy to take the switch off the side stand. Just follow your nose. Then take the cover off the front sprocket. You should be able to follow the switch wiring back to a connector.

[@sshah876]

@@AfricaTwin-Stuff Excellent! new one is ordered already, cant wait to replace it soon, - cheers and thanks for the feedback!!

[@steveashworth8898]

Hi I Noticed you have some offset foot pecks Could you possible let me know where I could get a set? Cheers

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Ebay purchase. Quite a while ago. Listings come and go. Search Honda NC750x foot pegs.

[@cjbooth6621]

You could have put in a shim washer.

[@Rickroker]

thank my friend!!good job!!

[@ALEXANDR9911]

You helped me👍👏

[@davidrus]

thank you

[@testsiegerno1969]

Good job.thx.😍

[@ccooper8785]

Yes !!! for once my automatic response to any of life's problems (hit it with a hammer) is actually the right answer ! What is the chance of that ever happening again ? Best wishes.

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

C Cooper - ha! No better tool ever invented.

[@garthhowe297]

I'm sure your wife is also happy you aren't so floppy anymore.

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Garth Howe - cheeky bugger. How did you guess?

[@imanomad557]

I thought you were going to fix repair it not. Bodge it up.

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

I'ma Nomad - bodge? Is hitting it repeatedly with a hammer a bodge? No repair is worth doing if you can’t use a hammer on it.

[@danielfalin]

this sidestand play is intentional, and it is with every bike, not just this NC, you're overdoing the maintenance :)

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

I agree. But remember this is an entertainment channel not a professional “how-to” 😁

[@danielfalin]

@@AfricaTwin-Stuff I am really enjoying your channel, a lot of very useful info about the NC

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Daniel Falin - thanks mate

[@balazspiplak2557]

I think you fix nothing there... at the end it has the same movement before you started. 🙂
