Had my 1st service for the NC750X.

Stop telling everyone how cheap it is to run these old Hondas…and how easy they are to work on .

Nobody should ever know that for about $125 you can change the oil, fuel and oil filters, 2 timing belts, 4 spark plugs and set the valves on a 75 Honda 4cyl on your lunch hour. Oh I forgot, to mention you can do it at work because Honda stashed all the necessary tools under the bike's seat.
 
And all this time I thought it stood for Big Monthly Withdrawals. Live and learn.

Not the V65 Magna. First time I changed the plugs, might have been the first time for that one plug that was a pain in the butt to remove/install.
 
Does that bike still have a short first gear? I've ridden an NC700X.
Other than the short first gear and the rear suspension was set way too firm for me, it was a good bike.
No, tall gears all round. Not hard to stall it from a stop.
 
The NC750 1st service is only Oil and Filter -- even at Honda OE parts prices $200+ is heavy for an oil change. You can see the first service items listed below, they are from Honda's service manual. The items with a wrench beside them are the ones Honda says are difficult for novices.

Aside from the 1st oil change, 1.25hrs for checking and adjusting chain tension and tire pressure. A few inspection areas, cooling level, air filter, electrical etc. In total 17 areas looked over including a test ride.

I can't remember which Magna it was, but it was a nightmare to just change a leaking clutch slave cylinder seal. Had to disassemble the entire rear end (shocks, swing arm/drive shaft, etc.) to get to it.

My used one, had a fork issue when I first got it. Ontario Cycle Salvage fixed it under warranty.
