You dont need an additional tools only the ones provided inside the manufactures tool kit, you will find a screw driver and a Allen wrench
first thing you should do is remove the battery cover as shown
this will allow you to gain access to the lower air filter cover screws
remove the left panel has shown, the front end is clipped in so carefully pull it away giving it a slight wiggle
now do the same for the right side
here you can see it hooks in at the front
next thing you need to remove is the centre panel, this is held in with these plastic push rivets, push them in half way and the rivet will prise up
in total there are 6 holding these on, 3 each side
there is a hidden one inside here
now remove the silver screw on the left
pop out the three rivets on the right side,
now remove the silver screw
lift the left side and make your way to the right
once both sides are lifted now you can pull the centre part towards you because its clipped in under the dials, be careful here move the bars from left to right to wiggle the panel out, the plastic is soft and can flex if you need to.
Here you can see its one complete part
now remove the centre lock panel as shown
remove the centre lock
pop out the air sensor, its only a push fit and will easily come out
here you can see there are 6 screws holding the air filter lid in place
carefully unscrew all of them
now lift out the air filter lid, the filter is attached to the top part
its clipped in you can use a screw driver to pry it out
here is a k and n high flow air filter, if its red in colour then its pre oiled, if not make sure you buy some air filter oil and apply it first
here is the stock filter against the high flow filter
install the parts as shown, be careful not to trap any wires, especially the air flow sensor we pulled out earlier
now push the flow sensor in
install the locks
make sure the cables are not kinked and routed correctly
install the centre panel, clip the front in first then clip in the side section
install the silver screws and then the rivets
clip in the painted panels
install the battery cover
before closing the lid check both locks function correctly using the Allen wrench as shown
Thanks for watching!!

Being an ex car mechanic, I'm astounded that so many bikes need to be virtually dismantled just to do routine maintenance. My wife has a cb125r, and I had to almost strip it just to get to the battery. I had panels screws and clips everywhere.
These days biked are all clipped together! Although some modern cars can be a pain to work on
Nick, A massive thank you from me for a very detailed video on how to get to the air filter on the NC. I had my tablet next to my wife's NC and it was a life saver. As always thanks for all your time and effort in putting these videos together for the benefit of others. Cheers
David
Thank you, Dave. comments like these keep me going
Hello, it is the second time I do this filter replacement . It is still a pain. Many thanks for your video It helped a lot.
Cheers
Another great video on the Honda NC750X, just bought one myself so your filming and instructions show me how Honda had put the filter in the most difficult place, just managed to change it with your help.
Congrats
A really good informative video of how to remove the panels, good one Nick keep them coming.
Thank you John
I just finished changing mine with your video on the workbench. It was excellent and I thank you. Would have been tricky without it. Well done
No problem
Great reference material, produced to a very high standard. I have the K&N waiting to go in, but have been putting this job off. Will give it a go with your assist. Thanks!
Thank you and good luck with the installation, you'll be fine ! Cheers for watching
Very good instructional video!! Thank you. I don't even own a NC but its at the top of my list for next bike.
The new model is cracking !
Very nice instruction. Thank you 🙂
You're welcome
Very informative video, appreciate your labours.
My pleasure
Hi Nick , another great video ,
I've been waiting for you to show " us " how to do it !! I'd already bought the k + n , so will now have to get on and fit it !
many thanks , Derek
Hi Derek, I'm so glad I could help ! All the best 😀
Fascinating even though I don't own a NC750. Probably a bit out my comfort zone doing this but I guess I could do it after watching your vid. Its what I love about RUclips, you can find out how to do most things watching vids.
Cheers Richard, this was the first time me using the insta360. It's an amazing camera which I find it's more editing but I like that you can pick your camera angles after. I really enjoy the editing part so it's all good and I'm still learning. The camera recorded for over an hour in 360 5k and I still had battery left, and guess what, no over heating! I am fully converted now! I'm going to record an on the road vlog today with a pov angle. I have the mic adapter with a 150 degree view set. Do you turn hdr on? Cheers
@@nicksepisode I'm glad the camera worked so well for you. Not overheating and long battery life is my biggest reason for buying.
My only advice when filming in 150 is make sure none of your camera mounts sit forward of the recording lens or the stabilisation will sometimes bring it into shot. Also double check which lens you've set for record (yes I've recorded my face) and make sure you've set landcape format. It's worth doing a short test to establish the tilt angle of your camera in 150, I initially set mine looking too low. As for hdr, honestly I've not checked but I use mainly stock settings.
On overcast days I do find myself taking the brightness up and I definitely take the audio up in post when compared to the Gopro
Thanks for the advice! Have a good weekend! 😀
Thank you very much Nick!
My pleasure
I tried replacing the air filter with a oem one and was stood there for a good few mins, fiddling trying to get the filter to fit into the lower air case convinced I had been sent the wrong filter before realizing you put it into the top case lol.
It's buried in there !
Nice description! Very clear. I’ll refer to your video when I change my air filter👉once I buy my new 2022 🤷🏼
Thank you! 2022 nc750x how nice! When the best just got better
Great video will be checking out the rest of them! As I have not long brought aNC750 xa 2020 blue colour as well with only 1k miles on it
Welcome to the channel! Enjoy your new ride 😀
Nick,
This is a great video. Very nicely done. You know what's amazing here? The fact that I just acquired a 2020 NC750X DCT about two weeks ago and being that I live in the U.S.A., it's an ALL-BLACK UNIT! After doing some research, I have found that there are or were, multiple colors of the 2020 model of the NC. The Canadian versions are WHITE. Yours is apparently an English or maybe I should say British unit and it's BLUE. And what's really crazy here, I just disassembled mine to remove all the BLACK painted parts and have painted them the same exact color as yours, BLUE!
Anyway, I'm definitely logging this video in the memory banks to reference when it comes time to change my air filter. It should be quite a while since there's only 2,300 miles on it at present. There sure are a lot of fasteners, both screw type and push-pin type that hold all the body plastic parts on. Your video will definitely aid when it comes time to reassemble mine after paint. Thanks so much for this.
SR
I have a few more based on the nc750x. Enjoy
Did half of that a few months ago, would have been easier with that video, good explanation!
Thank you
It seems to be a bigger task than adjusting the valves..😮
You’re not wrong
Great job at producing a clear and concise video with all the relevant footage. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
What a pain vs the royal enfield. Love the royal enfield. Thanks for all your hard work.
Interceptor is so easy to work on, I love it
@@nicksepisode
Hey Nick are you getting any rain yet. We are finally getting some up in Washington to help put out all of the fires here.
It's raining very heavy here
@@nicksepisode Until you have to replace the sidestand switch.
Hi Nick i found it,,,Great Video again....Christ a lot of panels coming off, didnt think it was that Tricky..Lol
excellent! it does look worse then it actually is though, you'll be fine :)
The amount of things to dismantle just to get to a filter.
I would have started the bike after fitting the sensor, just to make sure that the bike starts and function well before fitting all the panels again.
I didn't actually unplug the sensor so all good, but I understand where you are coming from
@@nicksepisode I work as an HVAC technician. I've learned things the hard way...
I can relate 😅
Thank you for your perfect amount of detail video. 👍 now for the brakes. 😅
You're welcome!
ruclips.net/video/mKgjdKvcDXY/видео.html check this one out, may be some help to you
OMG ... to replace the air filter disassemble the bike!
Crazy !
Nicely done, keen to know what difference it makes. Any change in intake noise? Performance and mileage differences?
Tad more acceleration, no change in induction noise, I'm still getting a good 80mpg. Filter has been in there 16 months now.
Thanks mate! Where did you find the bungee net for frunk lid?
I cut up a cargo net from amazon
I was thinking of getting this bike but just to change the air filter I need to dismantle half the bike, NO mate, not my style. I need easy access to at least basic stuff.
It makes up for ease of maintenance in other areas, such as valve gap checks. The filter replacement looks worse than it is to be honest
Hate to say it, but that is such a poor design by Honda making it so difficult to change an air filter. Thank you for putting this video together. I might still let the dealer do this for me as it never seems to be as easy as even your great video makes it seem.
I agree it's a bit of a faff, surprising because the bike is easy to work on in other areas! Thanks for watching 😄
Just finished doing this today, when putting in the air sensor it was just flopping around. Took the lid off for the air filter and out rolls a rubber grommet, ah there's the problem. Great video
Fantastic tutorial Nick although you have to ask yourself why Honda make it such a PIA to replace an air filter, is it so they get more business off owners who don't want to take this task on I wonder ?
I think a small sacrifice has been made in order to make all that storage available for the frunk compartment. Don't think honda are on thay band wagon yet, unlike bmw lol
Good video , did this take 2 or 3 days??
It felt like it
Hmm I have a 2014 NC with original filter in place , guess I should change it 😅
They're good for 20k
Excellent instruction as usual Nick. Just one question if I may, Is it going to increase performance and if so do you lose anything else such as fuel economy etc? Cheers.
Fuel consumption is the same, acceleration is better and a slight induction roar.
@@nicksepisode Brilliant thank you. Another item for my increasing list of minor mods. I am loving the NC Nick even in the Welwyn Garden City frost. Thanks again.
Thanks for the video, glad to see the same engineers that designed the GL1800 air filter are still employed!
good video, i was able to pull off and remount the fairings cuz of this. I noticed on my honda nc750x that there is a gap where you rub at 11:24 . This is the same case for the other side of the bike. I see that where you rub at 11:24 that there is no gap between the 2 panels and it connects smooth to eachother. you might have an idea as to why those 2 panels dont fit smoothly together ? It's the first panel (or the last if u remount everthing) that comes off and creates a gap. my ocd can't handle it.
Sounds like you have the centre black section the wrong side of the black side panel where the push rivet goes in.
@@nicksepisode
Ill check it thoroughly tomorrow again, hopefully that might solve the gap ! Ill let you know. Thanks!
@@nicksepisode Fixed it! you nailed the advice. Now its all smooth haha saved my ocd. Funny how i bought this bike 2 weeks ago from the honda dealer (used bike) and it came like this. anyway love all the video's you made about the NC750x they really help me alot !
WHAT A NIGHTMARE, I have the nc750d and i was thinking what a mess to change the filter, but seeing this im happy asfk with my 10min filter change hahahahaha
Haha
How often do you have to change out the air filter?
Depending on where you ride and live, it will vary. Dusty conditions , I'd say, 7-8k miles. Normal conditions 12k miles.
Hi!... Did replacing the original filter with the K&N filter have any practical effect on the motorcycle's performance?! Best regards
With the Leo vince exhaust fitted, yes, it added a little acceleration
Oooh no terrible ,you have to take apart the entire motorcycle😱
Looks worse than it is to be honest
Cor thats a lot of fking about to get the filter out 😮
Couldn't have said it better myself
Hi Nick, where did you your handle bar crossbar from ?
accessories.hitchcocksmotorcycles.com/accessory-shop/handlebars/42987
Que diferencia ahí entre el original y el k&n??
Menos desperdicio porque puedes lavar el filtro; también tendrás un mejor flujo de aire, lo que aumentará la aceleración en una pequeña cantidad.
Good thing it doesn't have to be done very often.
I know right
Hallo,
is the k&n airfilter better than the original? Do you notice a difference?
Thank you.
Bye
Yes more acceleration
its a pain in the ass to change air filter but likely its after 24.000km so its ok.i like your handlbar-crossbar,where did you buyed it?thanks a lot...
It's a renthal one it come from ebay
Where did you get that luggage rack?
From ebay
Congratulations you successfully turned your motorcycle into a vacuum cleaner, your engine is guaranteed to ingest dirt now
The oil catches the dirt, the UK isn't very dusty and its location isn't vulnerable.
High flow filters will leave a fine coating of dust in your intake, thottle body, intake valve seats.and will sand down piston rings and cylinders. The stock filter has plenty of flow but needs more air in the box.removing the rubber snokle tube helps a lot.
Adding oil to the filter stops this dust, removing the snorkel will do more harm allowing water to enter the filter box.
very hard
I'm pleased my video had that effect on you 😀
Easy bike to work on then. Jeez.
The valve adjustment is lol 😜
Really good video...will help a lot when time comes.
But what a going on...to change an air filter!.
Just as well doesn't use them up so quick.
👍
Glad I could be of assistance, thanks for watching
ok, my decision: when my bike has 16k and needs maintenance, I‘ll drive to Honda, take the mechanics outside, take my battery angle grinder and cut all the stuff away until just the mainframe is there. Then I let them change the filter and buy new plastics. When they ask, my answer will be: it‘s cheaper than let you do the stripping!
follow the vid, you can do it your self, I believe in you!
@@nicksepisode no. Every action has a reaction. This failed construction makes me aggressive. Then they shall see how good their plastic is, when I cut it from the bike. Will be interesting how Honda reacts when my video is online.
Fuck that i will let the shop do it when i take it in for a service 😂
Yeah, I can appreciate that
Most un honda like imo!
Yes generally you expect Honda to be simple to work on.
If it wasn’t for the good maintenance intervals on that for 16k miles I would NOT consider buying this bike. THIS would be the SOLE REASON to not buy this bike. Pay the dealer to do it. I,like the battery access though. Too bad the back side of storage area housed the air filter like the front does for the battery. Just run a couple intake lines back there . Does bike have smart cruise control?
There is no cruise control, unfortunately. The motorcycle is very adequately priced, though.
exactly what I thought. When mine is ready for maintenance, Honda can do that. But I will tell them, that I will only pay 1/4 of the work.
Such a complete fail 😤😤😤
I like the look of the NC750x but that is frankly a ridiculous amount of work to get to the air filter. The parts removed look flimsy and easily damaged.
Luckily the tappet adjustments are very easy and better than most bikes. Air filter is OK once you've done it once. Something that only need doing twice a year on average so all in all worth the frunk storage
Educational video .... thanks
I really don't think that's its a good idea for such replacement. Originall filter will clean air much better.
I can see where you are coming from because Honda spend millions into developing these engines, but the K&N filters are proven to perform better, its counter intuitive for Honda to use these as they are more expensive to produce. The aftermarket consumer benefits in the long run because this filter can be cleaned and not thrown away every time like the standard one. That reason alone is why I choose the K&N cleaner
@@nicksepisode I agree with you, that its cheaper and even more earth frendly. But I used K&N on my subaru 3.6, and after 10k km i replaced it on standart, becouse I saw dust in instake hose.
I really don't trust the cone filters, and these must be properly oiled to prevent dust.
@Nicks Episode actually it was not cone filter. It was same style filter like yours, which must be fitted in standard (original) filter box.
I'll keep an eye on mine and report back in the future maybe with a video if I find any dust inside the inlet
That is frankly one of the worst positions I've ever seen for a simple air filter 😮 poor design
Good job it doesn't need changing too often
That's true, I wonder if the air filter is in the same position on the nc750 S I'm thinking it should be a bit easier to access due to the lack of the amount of bodywork plastic 🤔
Thanks nick. I like the final bit about testing that the locking mechanism works properly before shutting the frunk :-)
Yes I've learnt the hard way in the past lol 😆
@@nicksepisode A thief broke my frunk's lock and when I turn it to open the frunk nothing happens. How do I get into the frunk to take off all those parts to replace the lock? Break it open?
Unfortunately I think that's the only way, you could try unscrewing the outer screws, I wouldn't know a safe way to suggest to be honest, sorry to hear your misfortune but good luck and I hope you get it sorted.
