A Few Words About Safety

Service Information

The service and repair information contained in this manual is intended for use by qualified, professional te chnicians. Attempting
service or repairs without the proper training, tools, and equipment could cause injury to you or others. It could also damage the
vehicle or create an unsafe condition.

This manual describes the proper methods and procedures for performing service, maintenan ce and repairs. Some procedures
require the use of specially designed tool s and dedicated equipment. Any person who intends to use a replacement part, service
procedure or a tool that is not recommended by Honda, must determine the risks to their personal safe ty and the safe operation of
the vehicle.

If you need to replace a part, use genuine Honda parts with the correct part number or an equivalent part. We strongly recommend
that you do not use replacement parts of inferior quality.

For Your Customer’s Safety

Proper service and maintenance are essential to the customer’s safety and the reliability of the vehicle. Any error or oversight while
servicing a vehicle can result in faulty operation, damage to the vehicle, or injury to others.

Improper service or repairs can create an unsafe
condition that can cause your customer or others to
be seriously hurt or killed.

Follow the procedures and precautions in this
manual and other service materials carefully.

For Your Safety

Because this manual is intended for the professional service technician, we do no t provide warnings about many basic shop safety
practices (e.g., Hot parts–wear gloves). If you have not received shop safety training or do not feel confident about your knowledge
of safe servicing practice, we recommend that you do not attempt to perform the procedures described in this manual.

Some of the most important general service safety precautions are given below. However, we cannot warn you of every
conceivable hazard that can arise in performing service and repair procedu res. Only you can decide whether or not you should
perform a given task.

Failure to properly follow instructions and
precautions can cause you to be seriously hurt or
killed.

Follow the procedures and precautions in this
manual carefully.

Important Safety Precautions

Make sure you have a clear understanding of all basic shop safety p ractices and that you are wearing appropriate clothing and
using safety equipment. When performing any service task, be especially careful of the following:

• Read all of the instructions before you begin, and make sure you have the tools, the rep lacement or repair parts, and the skills
required to perform the tasks safely and completely.

• Protect your eyes by using proper safety glasses, goggl es or face shields any ti me you hammer, drill, gri nd, pry or wo rk arou nd
pressurized air or liquids, and springs or other stored-energy components. If there is any doubt, put on eye protection.

• Use other protective wear when necessary, for example gloves or safety shoes. Handling hot or sharp parts can cause severe
burns or cuts. Before you grab something that looks like it can hurt you, stop and put on gloves.

• Protect yourself and others whenever you have the vehicle up in the air. Any time you lift the vehicle, either with a hoist or a jack,
make sure that it is always securely supported. Use jack stands.

Make sure the engine is off before you begin any servicing procedu res, unless the instruction tells you to do otherwise. This will
help eliminate several potential hazards:

• Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust. Be sure there is adequate ventilation whenever you run the engine

• Burns from hot parts or coolant. Let the engine and exhaust system cool before working in those areas.

• Injury from moving parts. If the instruction tells you to run the engine, be sure your hands, fingers and clothing are out of the way.

Gasoline vapors and hydrogen gases from batteries are explosive. To reduce the po ssibility of a fire or ex plosion, be ca reful w hen
working around gasoline or batteries.

• Use only a nonflammable solvent, not gasoline, to clean parts.

• Never drain or store gasoline in an open container.

• Keep all cigarettes, sparks and flames away from the battery and all fuel-related parts.

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

How To Use This Manual

This manual describes the service procedures for the NC700X/XA/XD/S/SA/SD-C.
Sections 1, 2 and 3 apply to the whole motorcycle. Section 2 illustrates procedures for removal/installation of components that may

be required to perform service described in the following sections.
Section 4 through 23 describe parts of the motorcycle, grouped according to location.
If you are not familiar with this motorcycle, read Technical Feature in Section 1.

Follow the Maintenance Schedule recommendations to ensure that the motorcycle is in peak operating condition.
Performing the first scheduled maintenance is very important. It compensates for the initial wear that occurs during the break-in
period.

Find the section you want on this page, then turn to the table of contents on the first page of the section.
Most sections start with an assembly or system illustration, service information and troubleshooting for the section. The subsequent

pages give detailed procedure.
Refer to the troubleshooting in each section according to the malfunction or symptom. In case of an engine trouble, refer to PGM-FI

section troubleshooting first.

Your safety, and the safety of others, is very important. To help you make informed decisions we have provided safety
messages and other information throughout this manual. Of course, it is not practical or possible to warn you about all the
hazards associated with servicing this vehicle.
You must use your own good judgement.
You will find important safety information in a variety of forms including:

• Safety Labels – on the vehicle

• Safety Messages – preceded by a safety alert symbol and one of three signal words, DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION.
These signal words mean:

You WILL be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t follow instructions.
You CAN be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t follow instructions.
You CAN be HURT if you don’t follow instructions.

• Instructions – how to service this vehicle correctly and safely.

As you read this manual, you will find information that is preceded by a symbol. The purpose of this message is to help
prevent damage to your vehicle, other property, or the environment.

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

SYMBOLS

The symbols used throughout this manual show specific service procedures. If supplement ary info rmatio n is requi red p ertainin g to
these symbols, it would be explained specifically in the text without the use of the symbols.

Replace the part(s) with new one(s) before assembly.

Use the recommended engine oil, unless otherwise specified.

Use molybdenum oil solution (mixture of the engine oil and molybdenum grease in a ratio of 1:1).

Use multi-purpose grease (lithium based multi-purpose grease NLGI #2 or equivalent).
