Had dealer do mine when in for 24,000 mile service last week. Had brake fluid done too. Sorry but dealer didn't take any pics.
What is the correct way to drain the coolant? On my last bike, there is a screw that I remove to drain the coolant. Does NC700X has the drain screw?
The coolant drain plug is at the base of the cylinders below the exhaust outlet.
The Honda service manual is handy to have. It details the procedure and specs the coolant type. Do not use coolant containing silicates.
Thanks!
Would prestone from walmart do? The green one, not the orange dex-cool coolant.
just buy any good quality coolant and mix 50/50 with demineralized water. There are some videos on youtube about it.
I use only Honda fluids for all my Honda products. Even at 24K miles there is no recommendation to change the coolant.
If the coolant looks clean (no rust) a hydrometer check can allow coolant to run for years in a Honda engine.
My Accord has a code 5 for coolant change. My guess it will not appear until past 50K or longer......but I could be wrong.
At any rate, Honda coolant can run way past the recommended 12K miles/2 year mark for brake fluid, whose enemy is corrosion caused by moisture in the fluid.
My NC700X owners and service manuals had a recommended coolant change at 24,000 miles or 2 years if I'm not mistaken. There would never be any rust showing in the coolant because the block and cylinder head are aluminum and don't rust but they will corrode.I use only Honda fluids for all my Honda products.

Although there was no mention of engine oil here (and I apologize for bringing it up ), your post reminds me again how most people are totally agreeable to the manufacturer's change interval recommendation for coolant, and even for brake fluid, but they commonly refuse to believe that oil can last 8000 miles.
According to the service manual, there it is:
