- This 2012 Honda NC700x has another chance at life! After spending many hours troubleshooting the issue, I discovered the bike had a defective/damaged cam chain tensioner.
Thanks for the 100 subscribers! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Great vid. Great sleuthing. So sad for the previous owner that after running "Diagnostics" the Dealer's shop failed to notice the cam timing marks were out. One would think that timing issues would show up on a diagnostic readout or that someone would've pulled the valve cover and checked the clearances etc.
Worked out well for you though. Nice work.
Love the graphics! I can tell you spent a lot of time editing. But the start to finish process was super satisfying
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Well sorted out - good job.
Well done,young fella!
Top film, I need to see more of your stuff!
Thank you, that's very kind!
Have heard of them
failing, thanks for sharing.
The background of the used bike just like this guy said it was perfect and long story short he dropped it at high speeds and covered it up. I wish I payed more attention but I was too excited since it was my first bike
This a great video. Good job. I have the same bike and I love it. Love the way the torque comes on. They're known to be super reliable and I haven't heard of this happening before. Simple enough to repair though and I know now to watch for this.
very good work.
Good job. I think you can get the tensioner out by just undoing the top two bolts.
Thanks for the video, nice to see the insides of these motors.. not much info on them as they are very reliable usually, I just picked up one with extremely low kms. Low rev limit is hard to get use to.
Congrats on the new bike! The rev limiter was hard for me at first too. I kept hitting it in first and second gear whenever I was distracted 🤦
@@rookiewrenching938 where do you find these broken bikes?
@@turkishman4202 Just local classifieds. At the time, I was scanning bike listings multiple times a day to find deals.
So smart 👌🏻
Wow you are an expert bike's mechanic, I would like know your mechanic knowledge.
I'm flattered, thanks! In reality I just try a bunch of stuff until it works 😅
Great job ,How did you get the cam chain sprocket off,with engine still in frame?
Amazing skill . how many times did you take on this project?
I should've been a mech. Came up with the same hypothesis as you on each step, at least up to the timing.
I would have just got a new tensioner, they aren't that expensive, at least compared to an engine.
Hi BRILLIANT hope this bike is still running they say they can do 1.0000 miles
1 mile?
How do I remove a computer box on this Bike
Great video, certainly a standout in a sea of typical crappy CZcams videos. The only thing I wonder is why you made a gasket when Honda builds these engines with a thin bead of sealant there, not a gasket. I have done a clutch replacement on an NC700X and followed the service manual instruction for using the appropriate sealant. It worked just fine; no need to make a physical gasket.
I am reading of a number of NC engines that had a cam chain tensioner fail in the first 20,000 miles. Seems once you've past that mileage point, you're OK.
Can't understand your username "Rookie Wrenching" If this is rookie Wrenching, wondering how a does it ... Great job and movie !
Don't ride without a helmet,even if its only around the block...my uncle died that way, he went to the store 50m away and soke idiot hit him...
Mine has gone on a 2021 at 6500miles. Really not impressed with Honda build quality, or lack of!
