Brilliant, thanks for posting this. I've just picked up a 2001 Deauville, I'm not particularly mechanically minded but watching this has given me the confidence to have a go at changing the oil, I'll definitely be using this video as a reference while I'm doing it mind 😂👍🏻👍🏻
Good luck with it Stuart, they are great little bikes, but the maintenance is a little fiddly for rear pads so have a good check of the calipers before buying pads as they changed from single Nissin, to twin Brembo to Twin Nissin and the year model doesn’t always correspond to what should be fitted. Just so you get the right pads. Spark lugs also a faff, but I have done videos of all of this too so hope it helps. All good fun though. 👍
Hi you are right really nice bike to ride, I would just like to point out that when you do a oil change apart from running the engine up till its warm you need to have it on the side stand when draining down and on the main stand when filling up. You probably know that anyway. long live the Deauville 😀
Yeah I don’t know why I didn’t, but in reality it makes little difference, the engine is level, it wouldn’t make a lot of difference, but best practice and all that.
Gear oil: You can also use 10w40, which has almost same spec like 80w90. And there is no such heat in shaft drive that could damage oil viscosity. "Hypoid" only means gears are at angle!
Yeah that’s the issue with a lot of bike filler caps is that they are in tight places. My flexi funnel split annoyingly, but I had a towel down so disaster averted. Thanks for watching 😊
Hi, i have a NT650V too but from 2001, right now i have to change the transmition oil, can you suggest me any oil which can fit properly?? I know it should be an hypoidgear oil sae 80 but dont know which brand will be better. Hope you can help me, see you.
Hi there, oil is oil, and as long as it’s the correct grade I do not know of a specific requirement for brand for this bike. It’s a lot more forgiving that engine oil, as you only have gears to concern yourself with, not clutch plates, so Halfords own will do.
The oil I’m using doesn’t specify, the container states for use where API SG is recommended. Honestly depending on your climate, just pick a weight, I’ve never met an engineer of mechanic that says it matters, particularly on an older machine. I’m just using Part Synthetic 10w40, a fully synthetic would be better protection. That my friend is the extent of my knowledge on the subject. All the best. Rich 😊
@@memybikeni9931 okay, but you're talking of the engine oil now since you said 10w 40 right? I meant for the final drive which I guess is SAE 80 on yours too? Sorry for not specifying straight away.
@@user-cu5rr4bc8i totally my fault, I forgot I was doing two oily things. I used 80w90 API 4, but I think the recommendation is the weight rather than anything else. A regular change matters more than anything.
Hi! If it helps, my 2001 Deauville have in this right moment 10w30, Honda service. Now that the summer is coming, time for new adventures, i will make an oil change and i will put in the engine Motorex top speed - 15W50, JASO MA2, better for the engine in high temperatures always present where i live. Regards
