Air Cleaner Removal Honda NC750X 2016

[@roycspary8923]

thank you for the narration and no horrid music made the video informative and usefull very well done ride safe

[@kennymclean757]

Many thanks for the video. Gave me the confidence to tackle the filter replacement. Now on to the tappet adjustment. 👍

[@netkongen]

What the hell did Honda think about, when they made this. Absolutely insane.

[@paulcowell7588]

This blokes videos are the best I've seen...excellent.

[@mikecan2392]

Thank you for taking the time to make the video. Looked like a daunting task but your video cleared things up for me.

[@carlospais5455]

Very helpful...thanks once again for showing us how to do it.

[@mbarankiziltan]

Thank you very much from İstanbul for your great videos. Yesterday my nc750x just fell from the sidewalk on its left side. Definitly my mistake. Left peg, gear pedal and clutch lever are all severly bended. I had to level the gear pedal with a stone so i can ride it back home. I would appreciate if you can post a video about how to change all that and do the proper cleaning and greasing. I will still be following your videos even if you dont:) Best regards

[@kevsmailnz]

Thanks for the how to something to add to my to do list. The bike certainly has a lot of fiddly plastic bits and can see how the bike shop doing this how high the labour charges would end up being pretty high.

[@louisrobichaud5366]

Awesome video again. Really helpful. Louis

[@Paul-pb3vq]

And another superb video. 👍 I've got the dct version. Love it.

[@5vete]

thank,s for this,been dreading taking off the side fairings but you have given me new confidence. cheers from ireland..dave (5vete)

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

5vete - agree. It's scary the first time. Those side bits don't unclip easily but the DO unclip! Just takes s bit of care once you know it's possible. Thanks

[@1bike2up]

another great video by a great NCXer 😎

[@paulegan7250]

Thanks mate, its a lot easier once you know, Thanks for showing me.

[@matjazpajek4390]

Thank you Adrian. An old video, but still very helpfull. Proud to say, I managed to changed mine on my NC750x 2020. Thanks again 😁

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Congratulations

[@stevensteel8617]

Thank you. That looks a lot simpler than the procedure described in the manual. They tell you to remove the windscreen, the meter stay, the side panels etc. I think I'll give your method a try in a moment. I tend to use HiFlo Filtro for all of my filters, because they combine high quality and much lower price than Honda parts, but I get what you are saying about reuseable parts, though if it only needs changing every 20000 miles I'm not sure most people would need to change it more than once before they change bike and the next owner is likely to bin it and use a paper one :-D

[@stevensteel8617]

Turns out my nc750XD-E from 2015 is somewhat different fo yours but you helped me gain confidence so it went well thanks

[@martuuk8964]

In the video he said 20,000 K meaning kilometers. Still considerable. At 20,000 miles you'd probably be a bit late changing it depending on your typical riding environment. I live in a dusty desert environment so I'd follow manufacturer specs on filter changing. Not all particulate that builds up in the filter is easily visible to the eye right away either. Once your filter is visibly dirty/gray/brown on 100% or most of its surface that's a sign that you're honestly really late changing it.

[@BIKEINDI]

OMG 🤯 . Why do they make it so difficult?

[@kevinsheasby6240]

Thank you for the great videos. Also bought a new nc750x in June 2017. Will also post some of my adventures and videos on youtube soon. Regards from South- Africa :)

[@cctv5277]

Thanks mate! Great, easy to follow instructions as always. Cheers!

[@בעזרתהשםיהיהטוב]

תודה רבה . נהנה לראות את הדברים.

[@MrSmith-hd8od]

Well done, thanks for the great video mate

[@3goldfinger]

I hope the filter is free, after all that work to change it.

[@ianasbiorn8657]

Thanks that was very helpful.

[@Joez86]

I wonder if this is the same procedure for the 2012 NC700X as well.

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Joez86 - similar. But the plastics are different

[@speedtriple213]

I've got an NC750S, which is slightly different, but I'm putting a K&N filter in, and putting on Oxford heated grips and Puig handlebar guards. My silly question is - how do the push pins go back in? Do they go back in the hole and you lever the centre section back up again?

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Richard Hobbs - push the pin from the bottom of the plug so it comes out the top a little, put the plug in the hole then push the pin in flat with the plug. This locks the plug in place

[@speedtriple213]

Ah, thank you! I've just watched your video on the centre stand install, so I'm going to be doing that too, thanks for all the helpful videos!

[@dustinsandage9387]

The 2020 model has some slight differences. Harder to get those front panels off as they are kinda attached to the blinkers a little bit it seems. But otherwise this is the video I'm using to dig down to my air cleaner. Much appreciated.

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Bugger. Hard to believe they made it even harder!

[@yessure5291]

Where did you get the temperature gauge? And is it measuring the oil temp or coolant temp?

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Yes Sure - bought it on eBay. It's an aquarium temp thermometer. Bought it as it's waterproof - unlike cheaper options out there that have a seperate temperature probe. No - only measures ambient temp.

[@yessure5291]

Thanks - can you send me a link to it? There are 1000's of items on eBay. ;)

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Yes Sure It's this one. Many other sellers to choose from ... m.ebay.com.au/itm/Digital-Submersible-Fish-Tank-Aquarium-LCD-Thermometer-Temperature-Meter-Z-/162560351415?hash=item25d95a1cb7%3Ag%3AH3oAAOSwrfVZSTlv&_trkparms=pageci%253A6236369f-5df5-11e7-b468-74dbd180aafc%257Cparentrq%253Afb943dd415c0a7f234450255fff7a21e%257Ciid%253A23

[@yessure5291]

Thanks - that one does not ship to Canada, but I get the idea.

[@GilesMDavis]

I was just thinking the same question myself. Thanks from old south Wales (UK) for all the great videos. And for keeping them short and sweet.

[@HuskyRides]

I was wondering or you could answers my question.. After removal of the front panel which you take out at 1:40.. is the blinker relay accessabel?, and can you reach the front blinkers like this? I am planning on changing out my standard blinkers for LED ones.

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

HuskyRides - sorry. Don’t know.

[@sharky09000]

Cheers for the info m8👍

[@holgerreimer8321]

Thanks for Instruktion

[@rdzaluk5558]

thanks a lot, I needed a movie like that

[@kiradotee]

Where did you buy the temperature gauge mate? Cheers

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

It’s just a cheap eBay item. Listings come and go on ebay. This is the one I bought www.ebay.com.au/itm/163065673773?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=p-e-pvskROi&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=CuvDZ4TkS5a&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

[@pierrejacottet2349]

Hi Kenny, would you tell us where do you fix the sensor of the gauge, please :-)

[@HuskyRides]

I just removed the fairings on my own NC. What is shown in your video is the other way around. You are suposed to first take off the front fairing side pannels.. THEN the top panel which you remove. I also took out the top panel first.. Yes it is doable but you have to flex the plastic allot.

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

HuskyRides - fair enough

[@yjchowdary]

Much appreciated for this sharing Can you please share the Temperature gauge Link and how you fix it please

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Chowdary Y J - temp gauge is just a battery operated ambient temp gauge. Nothing special.

[@kiradotee]

Link to the temperature gauge? 😁

[@norsefalconer]

Thanks for the great video! I have a USB charge port in that square "port" on the dash. But, I'd much rather have a functional gravel mode button from the Africa Twin!

[@JuanGarcia-pw7vs]

Muchas gracias 🤗🤗🤗

[@TheDervMan]

Good stuff 👍🏻

[@eloysylva6919]

que horrivel tem que desmontar a moto toda para trocar um simples filtro a honda só dificulta as coisas mas valeu pelo video muito bom parabens

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Yes it’s a pain. But once I knew how, it only took 12 minutes to remove it the next time, for cleaning.

[@fabion9744]

thanks dude

[@JohnDoe-ct8fu]

Could I ask how many miles the bike has covered at this stage?

[@JohnDoe-ct8fu]

You refer to 20k is that kilometres or miles? Great video by the way!

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Torquaytom Bray - 20,000 kilometres.

[@JohnDoe-ct8fu]

I took mine out 22,000mls and it looks just like yours after it was supposed to have been change at 17000mls by Bridge Motorcycles.

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Torquaytom Bray - I guess that’s possible. One practice that helps a little is to always ask (before the work is done ) for the parts that have been replaced.

[@JohnDoe-ct8fu]

I normally do my own servicing but Bridge offer a lifetime warrantee (not worth the paper its written on)

[@JeroxB]

That temperature sensor, does it measure ambient temp or the engine temp?

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

JeroxB - ambient.

[@desotopete]

They made it difficult enough.

[@Organiska1]

Did you notice a difference after you installed the sports filter?

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

No difference. I just like the concept of being able to service it rather than using throwaways.

[@Gryphus-R]

Do you have any video about how to install the temp gauge? I've been unable to find any. I would like to know when the engine is to operating temperature before acelerating hard.

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Gryphus - sorry. No. The temp gauge on mine is ambient not engine temp. I’ve never felt the need for an engine temp gauge.

[@larryalexander4833]

This seems to be a really good bike lote of great comments . But Honda dropped the ball on the air filter on this one ! That's crazy to have do all that to get to the air filter. This will keep people from checking it plus as plastic ages it will break putting on and off .

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Larry Alexander - yes. Totally agree.

[@larryalexander4833]

@@AfricaTwin-Stuff I just bought a used Ducati 620 multistrada . Got it at a real deal cause needs some plastic body work replaced. If I can I want to look at buying one of these nc750 in year or so .

[@farmoboy83]

But at least valve checks are really easy

[@kennyg4744]

I'm doing the ambient temperature gauge at present, but as I have so much of the bike apart, I took my air cleaner out. Did you buy the K&N filter and if so, what are your impressions?

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Kenny G - yes I bought the K&N. I’m not competent enough to know if it’s better than a paper filter. Certainly no discernible performance difference on the NC. But I’ve used K&N on many of my bikes as I like the concept of being able to clean it rather than chuck out the filter and replace.

hello! may i ask you: do you connect cable on battery for easy charge, like "Optimate battery-charger"? if you do, where do you pass this cable, on the left side or the right side? (please, forgive my mistakes: i'm french ;-) )

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Pierre Jacottet - I have a 12v accessory socket that is connected direct to the battery. I can plug in a battery charger to that.

gut job!!! thanks

[@itsallabouttheridekeepingi4449]

K&N filters are not that good these days , they do breath better ( but on the negative side let more dust in ) If you what a great filter go for a D&A - if most of your riding is Tar, but if you do some dirt I would go a Uni Filter ( but not sure if they make theses for the NC 750 X ? Otherwise I would stick with OEM.

[@mattw6585]

Talk about about a removing a lot pieces, I installed the Honda handlebar warmers. That was a MAJOR pain in the neck!! All the plastic removal and wiring!! So many different screws sizes too! Plus instead off simple high/ low switch you have to cycle through 3 settings one at a time to change the heat settings! Very poor design!!

[@constpegasus]

45 bucks for an air filter?

[@frankpinion4937]

Great video but I thought my Ducati Scrambler was bad enough but that's the most convoluted way of servicing an air cleaner I've ever seen. In comparison you remove I think 3 screws from a side panel on the Royal Enfield Himalayan and that's it. That's the way it should be too on something capable of going off road. I think the concept of this bike is fabulous and it produces good torque and economy and engine laid practically flat is a great idea. It has a lot of plastic on this bike and you doubt it's long term durability as well as the small wheel on the front. The Ducati has a 18" but 17". The Himalyan has a 21" and the V85TT MotoGuzzi I think a 19". I think this bike needs another revision much like they did to the MotoGuzzi 750 III special by moving it's air cleaner for better accessibility.

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

I agree. But given its other advantages I’m willing to live with doing this every 20,000km or so.

[@robsonenduro3316]

pain in a butt, just to change air filter....

[@ADVNomad]

Thank you! What a horrific design from Honda

[@SvenTSchixe]

Lmfao, Bro be thankful it is that easy on this bike, a Honda Goldwing will take you an hour when you know what you are doing, take it to a dealer to get it changed and it will cost you $500 just to replace the air filter!! We got off easy on the NC750X and someone was nice enough to make a video for us to boot. Take care buddy🍻👊🇨🇦

[@adildewji]

What the hell! You need to remove all that stuff to get to the air cleaner??!!

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Yep. Not at all on common on most street and many big adventure bikes. But let’s face it - it’s a job you might do every second year on a bike like the NC.

[@bachterman]

[@RobertSmith-bh5cv]

That's just awful. What a lot of fuckery to service something as routine as the air filter. You make it look fairly easy and the bike's other merits "might" justify going through this nightmare every 20K but this sort of stupidity is why I dislike a lot about modern motorcycles.
