Honda NT700 spark plug caps almost got recalled worldwide due to a common problem on this machine worldwide... these hard plastic like plug caps that secure to the spark plugs develope leakage-- voltage leaks-- the symptoms are little hesitations or stalling at stopsigns or traffic lights.. in the very first ride of this machine i made of the first ride when i brought this bike home, i rode the bike to get the oil hot to change it and to get fresh gas.. in that video,after i got gas, i mentioned in the video many times,that the machine was not running right.. it kept bucking and had little hesitations when i would make throttle changes.. it did this about 10 or 15 times after the machine warmed up.. it is in the video... i was suspecting the throttle position sensor,without knowing anything about that item.. but it turned out to be the spark plugg caps,which i learned weeks later from the internet,after i typed in a question asking if there were problems with the honda NT 700.. that is when i learned about there almost was a worldwide recall by honda to replace the spark plug caps..
i made this video in march but was unable to publish it until now..
after installing new plugs and spark plug caps, this machine runs as well as could ever be expected.. i like this machine so much now that i have it sorted out,that i sold my kawasaki Z400 that i have in a few videos.. and i am even considering selling my royal star venture which i have in many videos on my channel.. that is how well this machine checks all the boxes for compfort, luggage capacity, smoothness, wind protection, more than adaquate power.., predictable handling, one the best seats i ever tried...,the only extra missing is cruise control which i rarely use..
to put it bluntly, this machine is a shocker.. it is completely capable of any type of normal street bike duty.. not too big .. not too small...goldilocks would say it's just right.. it is just right for an adult...i am so glad the euro-UK riders made me aware of this widely overlooked gem here in the USA

You guys all leave comments not related to the bike or spark plug. LOL. Great video! I have the same bike and it's not easy to DIY maintenance. Thank you

sorry, the video is so terribly dark, but I think I got my points across. Here now that I have replaced those spark plug cabs that were a problem on this machine around the world, I mean Honda was going to do a worldwide recall because of these spark plug caps.. what they were doing instead according to the Internet was any time a machine was in any dealer for any type of service, they automatically had the service department, put the spark plug cap replacement on the machine, while the machine was in there at no charge, rather than recall all of them.. now here in September 2024. My NT 700 is running just as I hoped it would. Not a hiccup. I have published several videos, riding the anti-700, you can hear for yourself. it’s running like a Swiss watch..

Do the deer ever fight? Do you ever have to pull them apart?? 🤣🤣

do the deer ever fight? The dominant female chases her yearlings and other deer away when it’s lunchtime. She will go up to them and whack them with her front legs if they don’t see her coming. When they do see her coming, they will back off of the food. every fall they go from Buck skin tan fur to dark fur color.. That’s when the males come around looking for females during the rut. The males will fight over the females. There’s one old Buck with a gray/white snout that the other males back away from. The males disappear in late December or January I don’t know where they go, but they are not around until the following November. But they don’t get into any big dust ups that I have ever seen… I will say they eat mostly anything. All of our shrubs, most of the flowers, my wife plants, I tried planting corn, they get it, head, pumpkins, the size of volleyballs once, with vines, about 20 feet long across my lower yard, one night they found them and ate everything. we buy 50 pound bags of deer corn. Usually four or five bags at a time call me and we mix it with some kind of livestock feed for horses and cows mixed in. i’m seeing signs of bears and people that live nearby have pictures of bears grubbing around their garbage cans. So we are careful not to put out more food than the deer can eat right now. We don’t want to attract bears.

I love my Z400. I set it up and dialed it in to go fast everywhere. Put 20w oil in the forks + GSXR 600 rear shock and sticky Pirelli SC-1's on that made a huge difference. Shortened up the gearing a little bit from 2.93 to 3.08 and re-flashed the ECU + velocity stacks. This little thing rips around town and makes commuting 32 miles a day a blast. It's fun going fast on a slow bike. Took her to a track day at Thunderhill West Track and I had more fun on the 400 than I did on my track bike. My brother in-law bought one and set it up like you did and couldn't be happier. I have had many bikes and I don't keep them for long after I dial them in - I've kept the Z400 the longest and I'm gonna hang on to it. It's just so easy and fun to get around on. Thanks for the vid Jody.
