what's going on everybody dave here with the honda elite 110 nhx110 also known as
the honda elite uh they only made this for one year in the united states
and so it's pretty rare it is fuel injected
this one you know has a few thousand miles on it so we're just doing some services to it
we've done tires air filter and now we're about to do the spark plug and it's very easy to do
just get your phillips head remove these two phillips screws and then just
get the little cover off right here we just kind of have to just muscle with it a little bit
got to pull it forward also because these tabs hook underneath pull her off right there
and you'll see all righty and you shall see spark plug cap is right in there let's get a pointer
right there
right there's a spark plug cap
and let's zoom back a little bit
so you can see where we're located on the right hand side of the seat
no big deal you will need your 5 8 spark plug wrench socket
with an extension and probably a swivel
and one of my favorite tools is a spark plug boot puller little pair of pliers with soft jaws on the
end you can get these at pretty much any hardware store or auto parts store very handy for pulling
the spark plug cap because this is kind of cramped in there you may have to pull off this little hook
here and get the wiring harness over slide it over a little bit so you can get in there better
there's also a zip tie that's usually wrapped around this set of wires here you
can snip that off and just replace it it'll allow you to move the wiring harness over
give you a little bit more room in there because it is kind of crowded
so you need some really long needle nose pliers or just some you know a long set of
pliers so you can get your hand in there and pull the cap off all right we got our
we got our loose here
you may want to blow out the cap inside there make sure there's nothing wrong with
it no debris make sure the boot rubber boot is not cracked or degraded and the
cap itself is not you know broken destroyed whatever
and let's get the plug out of there
so yeah it's at a little bit of an angle so you'll need a little bit of a swivel
a little swivel on your uh on your socket
because uh the frame rail right there is right in the way of it
so a little swivel down at the end there
will allow you to get her out of there
and here she is and i would just about bet that this thing is original
i mean it's not hideous but it's not great either so you might as well replace it
here's your part number
cr7eh9
cr70h9 that's gap between 31 000 and thirty five thousands uh for extended high speed riding like
if you only do you know the fastest speeds you should put a cooler plug in it which will be a cr8
eh9 keeps uh keeps the engine from overheating but if you just ride normal you know mostly
slower speeds 30 miles per hour that sort of thing the stock one should be fine
cr7 eh9 on the ngk now it's also a good idea on pretty much any vehicle that you're doing
spark plugs on put you some anti-seize on the threads of the spark plug that'll help it
go in easier that'll help it be removed easier seals a little bit better so that's just a good
general idea on spark plugs always put anti-seize on the threads
now i also like to blow some compressed air down in that spark plug hole just to make sure
there's no debris no thread you know debris or anything just blow it out with some compressed air
there you go you never know could be a little bit of grit or anything in the threads
and another little tip for this vehicle put your little electrical tape around the swivel
that'll keep it from flopping over so far because it just needs a little bit of angle to it
uh you know to get it in there
and if it just flops down it's difficult
to get this bad boy in here might have to use two hands also now something else you can do
you know just to help you get a little more reach in there if you're having trouble
remove these two 10 millimeters here and here that'll allow you to pull back
and there's a little phillips also right here that'll help you pull the
body back a little bit so you can just get your hands in there a little bit easier
and you can take off you know you got a cover right here just pull that down now you can get
a little bit more reach inside there you know it just helps you get a little more direction
okay if you can see in there i know it's a little hard to see now but
see how i got this long extension here now and you always start turning a spark plug by hand
you know until it feels good and snug then the the the manual says to turn it
it doesn't give you a torque spec believe it or not
it says turn it about a half a turn after it seats and then you should loosen it
and then re-tighten it you know and because uh you're gonna compress a little washer in there
and that's good practice anytime you install a spark plug so after it seats
okay after it seats turn it half a turn so it's not a lot now i'm going to
loosen it then turn it by hand again until i feel it hand tight which will
usually be just a little bit more than it was before then we will then turn it
probably a quarter of a turn as if it were a used spark plug because that's what it also recommends
if you're reusing your old spark plug you would only turn it an eighth to a quarter of a turn so
it really depends on if yours is used or not but you always want to compress that washer
uh here's the old one here you want to compress that washer right there
so if you just do an initial tightening and that's all you do it's possibly going to be a little bit
loose after the the vehicle warms up and is broken in and that's why you'll possibly see a little oil
on the threads right there is because there's actually a gap that's been created there
so we tighten it loosen it turn it by hand a little bit tighter then tighten it again and you
shouldn't have any issues with oil on your spark plugs now when you put your spark plug cap on
like i said there's not much room in here so it's a little difficult
i use some really long needle nose and but when you're ready to push
it in place make sure you hear it click in place you know make sure you hear the cap
right make sure you hear it click it makes a nice firm click sound when it's on there and
you know you just want to make sure you don't want that thing to be just barely on there and you'll
never realize it even though that might run it might run okay it'll start vibrating around as
you're riding and that's not good either all right now we're gonna put back our wiring harness here
got that clamp right there that'll get put down we'll put another big zip tie right around in here
okay
and this is a stout zip tie same as you know the one that was removed look how it's pretty
wide it's not a little skinny thing so we're using a similar one it's a pretty heavy duty one
run it through the top right there and secure
you know anything as far as wiring loom and all that stuff
and just make it firm you know you don't want it to be like ridiculously tight just good and
firm on there you know to give stuff room to play around but you don't want to be rubbing
against each other so you don't want to you don't have to tighten down on that too terribly much
there we go all right now putting our body back on this is actually broken on this one so i'm
gonna have to replace this whole underside body trying to find one of those not very
easy to find because a lot of parts for this thing are are not easy to find and then you
see these hooks here they're gonna have to hook that way so they start from a little bit forward
make sure everything goes underneath and then pull towards the back
like so
and then you got your little phillips
for this guy here and then to put the uh the larger cover on it it
slides over the rear foot peg that hole right there so you just slide it over it
same thing it's got little tabs that point backwards
okay so make sure that they hook up underneath the main body right here
you just have to you know be patient and line it up
and then give it a bump towards the back then you can put your two fasteners back on
also you got your two tens there don't forget those got a 10 here and a 10 here
like so and then finally these two little phillips guys
i have to jiggle it around a little bit to get him to get going in there
so we're just doing some miscellaneous services to this thing new tires front and rear look at the
old air filter oh my goodness horrible air filter i would put new grips on spark plug uh we're about
to do oil change and all that stuff but you know a lot of it is pretty self-explanatory how to do
and we're just gonna make her run good
there it is
yeah check out the new tires
pretty awesome
rear tires looking good
