I Bought and Fixed this Broken Motorcycle

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

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!

    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.

    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.

    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 🤦

    Great video, certainly a standout in a sea of typical crappy KZread 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.
