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. That's roughly 27.6 kg heavier than the average super motard motorcycle in our database. Every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes, is covered in the full 2013 Honda NC700X spec sheet below.

2013 Honda NC700X compared with other bikes in the Super motard category

Measured against other bikes in the Super motard category in our database (up to 305 models, one entry per model), the 2013 Honda NC700X comes out as follows.

With 831 mm, the NC700X has the joint 53rd lowest seat height of 283 bikes in the Super motard category, 4% below the category average of 863 mm.
Engine displacement of 670 cc is larger than that of 217 of the other 304 bikes in the Super motard category.
Narrowing the field to the 170 models within five model years of it, the seat height of 831 mm is lower than that of 135 of the other 169.

Versus the 2012 model

Compared with the 2012 model, wet weight came down from 218 kg to 214.1 kg (-3.9 kg). Peak torque, displacement and seat height are unchanged.

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.
Strong front braking: The single disc front brake bites hard and stays consistent - a solid foundation whether it's stock or upgraded with braided lines.

Considerations

Tall seat height: An 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 with 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 with its 670 cc super motard should cover the same ground every time: service history, drivetrain condition, and any oil seepage around the casings. This model runs chain final drive, so check chain slack and sprocket tooth profile specifically - a worn sprocket is a cheaper fix now than after it's chewed up the next chain. Now 13 years old, this super motard is as likely to show age-related wear (perished rubber, seized fasteners, degraded seals) as mileage-related wear. 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 the NC700X's 670 cc twin, four-stroke - keep to the manufacturer's interval rather than stretching it. With a 10.7:1 compression ratio, running the octane grade specified in the manual matters more than on a lower-compression engine. 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 an 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.
