NC700D Integra Service Manual

[Guest uzi22]

Hello Folks, 

 

Finally had sometime to better understand what I have bought.

 

The bike is in really good shape, has new tires on, drives very smooth and overall seems quite clean. (would post some pics, but still figuring out how to upload them).

 

Previous Owner mentioned the bike had an oil change less thank 100 miles ago but he has no proof of it and since the bike is hitting the 21k miles and I like to sleep at night, have decided to do a full service.

 

At the moment Oil and full sets of filters (Oil, Air and Clutch) are on their way while I am still looking to source spark plugs and brake pads (which one do you folks recommend).

 

I have also spotted that the bike mounts a 41 teeth rear sprocket but not sure they have also changed the chain. Transmission seems fine, but to me the whole rear axel looks veri close to front which could be a sign that they have adapted the original chain to the larger sprocket (I know it might not be the right thread for this but I'd really appreciate your experience, since it's mi first bike/scooter with chain drive).

 

Coming back to the title of this post, any idea where can I source a Service and Repair manual for the nc700D. While I've found on the web a few copies of the one for NC700X and SA, the one covering the Integra seems really rare. 

 

Thank you for your time guys! Hope to hear form you very soon.

If you subscribe to this forum there is a full manual for the 700 S/X which gives you all you need to know for basic servicing data on the Integra. There is also a partial manual on bodywork removal in the filestore. Several topics discuss chains and sprockets for the different models so a search should get you what you need to know. Guessing from the spelling of tyre you are not in the UK?

Hey Dave,

Thank you for coming back. Unfo it was just a typo. 

I am in the UK, based in London, but yes I am Italian.  

Tried with the search, will give it another go! Cheers!

The correct sprocket sizes for the 700DCT variants is 16/39. Fitting different sizes can give rise to gear shift issues according to some reports from owners on this forum.

Note that the manual 700 uses 16/43 and the 750 uses 17 on the gearbox with either 39DCT or 43 manual rear. Yours should be 16/39. Some catalogues may show incorrect sizes.

 

Make sure the chain is set with the right amount of slack, too tight can put very high loads into bearings and will drastically shorten chain life. You need around 35mm up/down movement when pushed with fingers mid span on the lower run, checked with bike on centrestand (as stated in the owner's manual), you'll probably find that equates to the chain just touching the lower rubbing strip under the swingarm with light finger pressure.

I found the adjuster markings on the plates each side of the wheel spindle are pretty good and can safely be used against the back edge of the slot for getting the wheel alignment correct. It's usually easiest to start with the chain slack, nip the spindle up just enough to provide resistance to movement, and pull the spindle rearwards using the adjusters a little at a time, checking for the tightest point in the chain run when you revolve the wheel. Keep fingers away from the chain/sprocket meshing areas!! When nearly right only half a flat on each adjuster will make quite a difference. You often find that the slack reduces slightly when you fully tighten the spindle, so you may want to set it slightly loose to compensate, try it and see.

 

Spark plugs are precious metal versions as standard and the recommended service interval is 32k miles, though based on car usage for similar items (specifically Honda Jazz) they ought to be fine for more like 50k miles. If you do want to renew them I'd suggest going to either https://www.sparkplugs.co.uk/ or https://www.gsparkplug.com/ depending on prices. Be a little cautious of buying expensive plugs from auction site vendors, unless they are reputable known name places, there are fake items around and there's big money to be made from the expensive versions You need NGK IFR6G-11K, I don't know if there is a Denso equivalent..

Cheers Embee, really appreciated your help.

 

The slack on the chain is actually correct but the tyre looks as it is at the beginning of the slot for the alignment. Will check again later today. Shall I go back to 39? or wait till I wear it down?

All noted re sparkplugs, thanks! Might keep them for a little bit longer.

 

Read you are in Warwickshire, funnily enough my white integra comes from Combrook. Have I bought your bike? Or you still have it...lol

Still got mine ……………………… I think! Quick, look in the garage ……………………….

In my opinion you can't beat the official Honda service manuals, they are not cheap but they are excellent.

I've bought a few from HGB Motorcycles in Ruislip, they are pretty good on price and have a good mail-order service.

Did a bit of maintenance and guess both chain and rear sprocket were replaced. Chain is a DID 520 VX2 while the rear sprocket is a Renthal 404U-520, I believe 41, but not sure (pics attached). Can’t really judge if the sprocket needs replacement. Never cleaned a chain before, it’s one of the dirtiest job I’ve ever done in my life... got this iPone kit which was brilliant but is still an incredibly messy job. Went also to replace the air filter but found out it has a K&n filter on which looked still new so went back on. While doing so I noted a red socket with 4 pins which seemed like disconnected. Any idea what it could be?

The red 4 pin socket is the diagnostic port. The part on the left should be capped by the blanking bit on the right and clipped to the frame. The sprockets look OK for a while yet but possibly not the right ones. Don't go off the stamp, count the actual teeth to be sure.
