How to change your radiator fluid on your Honda NC700X.

Doing your own maintenance on your motorcycle can save you a lot of money and you can make sure it's done right, "hopefully". In this video it's time to change the radiator fluid and I'll show you how it's done.

Design engineers obviously don't do any mechanical work. Else they wouldn't make regular bike maintenance so difficult. They should have to do maintenance procedures with time limits before releasing a design for a production build.

Yes, I totally agree with you! I used to have a Yamaha dragstar 1100 and had to remove the whole exhaust just to replace the oil filter. Got rid of that bike.

Hey bro, thanks for the video, one question, to know if the coolant level its ok, i need to see the coolant in the top of the radiator? Or has a level mark in some place?

[@d.i.y.davejapan]

I didn't see a level mark but there is an overfill tank on the bottom of the bike so fill it up to the top is best.

Hi Dave. I have been looking for an easy way to attach highway foot pegs. It looks like your frame sliders would work nicely on some of my 500 mile+ days. Could you share a link to your frame sliders? Thanks for posting these videos.

Hi timmcintyre5236, These are from a Japanese company called Moriwaki. Unless you can read Japanese I recommend just going on amazon and ordering from there. There are lot's of frame slidders on there and yes they do work good for those long rides to stretch out on . Good luck and stay safe out there.

What's the name of the liquid it takes

[@d.i.y.davejapan]

Thanks for the question. I used long life coolent that is already diluted with distilled water and ready to go. The brand is called Lifelex that is popular here in Japan from the homecenter called "Conan". You can find coolant at any car shop and look for a ready mix type like I used or mix it yourself with distilled water. Good luck!
