Question on the 8000 mile service
« on: September 23, 2006, 07:39:00 AM »

I hate getting "RAPED" by the Honda stealer regarding the 8000 mile service,  >:(  So the question is... other than the valve inspection/adjustment and the inspection of the final drive oil (what all does that include anyway?), what else really needs to be accomplished by the stealer. Because....

1. I do my own oil changes.
2. I can change the plugs myself.
3. I can see and determine if I need to add brake fluid to the reservoirs and if it is clean.
4. Same with the hydraulic clutch reservoir.
5. Same with radiator fluid.
6. Do a visual on my brake pads.

I mean... the stealer wants in excess of $460.00 to do the 8000 mile service.  Maybe I'm missing something??  Someone PLZ offer some feedback regarding this issue, cause I want to spend my $$$ on fuel and hotels!!! 8)

In my opinion, your not missing anything. Some people just don't like to work on thier bikes themselves.

Why pay someone to do something that you can do.
