Thank you very much from İstanbul for your great videos. Yesterday my nc750x just fell from the sidewalk on its left side. Definitly my mistake. Left peg, gear pedal and clutch lever are all severly bended. I had to level the gear pedal with a stone so i can ride it back home. I would appreciate if you can post a video about how to change all that and do the proper cleaning and greasing. I will still be following your videos even if you dont:) Best regards

Thank you. That looks a lot simpler than the procedure described in the manual. They tell you to remove the windscreen, the meter stay, the side panels etc. I think I'll give your method a try in a moment. I tend to use HiFlo Filtro for all of my filters, because they combine high quality and much lower price than Honda parts, but I get what you are saying about reuseable parts, though if it only needs changing every 20000 miles I'm not sure most people would need to change it more than once before they change bike and the next owner is likely to bin it and use a paper one :-D

In the video he said 20,000 K meaning kilometers. Still considerable. At 20,000 miles you'd probably be a bit late changing it depending on your typical riding environment. I live in a dusty desert environment so I'd follow manufacturer specs on filter changing. Not all particulate that builds up in the filter is easily visible to the eye right away either. Once your filter is visibly dirty/gray/brown on 100% or most of its surface that's a sign that you're honestly really late changing it.

K&N filters are not that good these days , they do breath better ( but on the negative side let more dust in ) If you what a great filter go for a D&A - if most of your riding is Tar, but if you do some dirt I would go a Uni Filter ( but not sure if they make theses for the NC 750 X ? Otherwise I would stick with OEM.

Great video but I thought my Ducati Scrambler was bad enough but that's the most convoluted way of servicing an air cleaner I've ever seen. In comparison you remove I think 3 screws from a side panel on the Royal Enfield Himalayan and that's it. That's the way it should be too on something capable of going off road. I think the concept of this bike is fabulous and it produces good torque and economy and engine laid practically flat is a great idea. It has a lot of plastic on this bike and you doubt it's long term durability as well as the small wheel on the front. The Ducati has a 18" but 17". The Himalyan has a 21" and the V85TT MotoGuzzi I think a 19". I think this bike needs another revision much like they did to the MotoGuzzi 750 III special by moving it's air cleaner for better accessibility.
