2013 Honda NC700X Overview
For 2013, Honda offers the NC700X as a super motard motorcycle with 670 cc on tap. The 2013 Honda NC700X is built around a Twin, four-stroke engine running SOHC valve actuation, a compression ratio of 10.7:1. Internally, bore and stroke are 73 x 80 mm. Out on the road, the NC700X delivers 60 Nm @ 4750 Revolutions of torque. In everyday use, the 2013 NC700X tips the scales at 214.1 kg, carries a 14-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 831 mm and spans a 1,539 mm wheelbase. Every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes, is covered in the full 2013 Honda NC700X spec sheet below.
2013 NC700X - Pros & Cons
Strengths
-
🔧
Fuel injection: No choke, no jetting, no altitude compensation to think about - fuel injection just works across a wider range of conditions than carburetion.
Considerations
-
📏
Tall seat height: A 831 mm seat puts flat-footing out of reach for a lot of riders - sit on it in person before committing.
-
⚙️
Chain final drive upkeep: A chain drivetrain is the most common setup in its class, but it's also the one that demands the most regular hands-on maintenance.
Wear Points & Servicing Notes
Fuelling & injector care
Fuelling on the NC700X comes from fuel injection. Cold starts and throttle response stay consistent across altitude and temperature, the main practical edge over a carbureted equivalent.
Valve clearance checks
Valve clearances on SOHC-equipped engines like the NC700X's drift slowly with mileage rather than failing suddenly - sticking to the service interval keeps it a non-issue.
Brake disc and pad wear
Single disc. Two-piston calipers. up front provides the primary stopping power; inspect disc thickness and pad wear at each tyre change to catch scoring before it becomes a rotor replacement.
Suspension condition on used examples
Suspension duties are handled by 41mm fork, 6 inches travel up front and Pro-Link® single shock; 5.9 inches travel at the rear. Weeping fork seals aren't a dealbreaker on a used bike, but they're a fair basis for negotiating price.
Final drive maintenance
Chain final drive on the NC700X means routine lubing and tension checks are part of ownership - skip them and sprocket wear accelerates noticeably.
Frame & chassis check
The Diamond steel pipe chassis holds up well with normal use; on a used bike it's still worth checking the head-stock and swingarm pivot area for impact damage or corrosion.
NC700X - Buying & Maintenance Guide
What to check before buying
A pre-purchase check on the 2013 Honda NC700X should cover the same ground every time: service history, chain and sprocket condition, and any oil seepage around the casings. Start it from cold if you can - a well-kept NC700X settles to a smooth idle within seconds.
Oil and filter changes
Oil changes are the cheapest insurance you can buy for a NC700X's engine - keep to the manufacturer's interval rather than stretching it. Use the viscosity grade the manual specifies, not whatever's on sale.
Fuel system care
Injector systems like the NC700X's hold up well with basic care - decent fuel, an occasional cleaner additive, and draining old fuel before any layup longer than three months.
Valve clearance service
There's no reliable seat-of-the-pants way to tell if a NC700X's valve clearances are in spec - a light top-end tick is the only real warning sign, and by then some wear has already happened. Service records are the only proof.
