Looking for a Full Service Guide

Post by RegionX »

Just bought my NC30 and its pretty rough around the edges, I have a manual but there is no guide as to giving a full service plus I have never worked on four strokes so need some help even if it is a link to another thread preferably NC30 specific. Tried to search and found nothing.

The electrics are common problems on NC's, other than that its the usual things likes plugs, air filter, oil and filter, valve clearences. The rear hub bearing is worth looking at while checking the other bearings. Its all covered in the haynes manual or on here, theres also a good carb guide on here too.

Keep hearing Haynes manual, my manual doesn't say Haynes just Honda Motor Co.

Haynes manual is fantastic.
Pre ride checks, what to check after the bike has been sitting for some time.
Full service guide, what to replace and when.

Ebay it, fairly cheap and easy to get.

The haynes is far better than anything else out there for nc30/35.

No electronic version.
