The dealer wants me to go to them and pay around 300. I was wondering if anyone knew what they did exactly because I don‘t trust them so I can just do it myself. They told me it would void the manufacturers warranty but I don‘t see that anywhere in the manual.
it will definately void the warranty. i'm not exactly sure what they do for your model of motorcycle. it should be just fluid/filter and check valve and cam chain adjustments, and inspect everything else (tyres, chain, sprockets, brakes, suspension). look if it's brand new, not pre-owned, then servicing it yourself is going to void the warranty, just as it does on a new car. if it is still under the manufacturers warranty then don't do any work yourself. however if it is pre-owned and covered by a dealer warranty, not manufacturer, then you can service the bike yourself. i know this because i am about to buy a new bike and have already discussed this with several dealers and i contacted honda personally and consumer affairs. i've decided to go pre-owned low kilometre with a dealer warranty. running a motorbike is supposed to be cheap, but thats only true when you do your own work. if i were you i would have it serviced by the dealer, until your warranty expires.
They are full of crap . You should take it to them for the first 600 mile tune up .But after that you can do it yourself . 600 mile is the break in period but you can take it to any dealership that works on your kind of bike ,Call around for the lowest price. Your manuel itself will tell you what has to be done at 600 miles . $300 bucks is really High for a oil change
well it's a good idea to have them do the first service so they can check it over and make sure everything is ok. I don't think if you dont have them service it will void your warranty. if you decide to do it yourself save the receipt of the oil and filter purchase. Our dealership charges about 150.00 for a service. Which consists of oil change, check all fluids, check the charging system, nuts and bolts, tire pressures, check the final drive. Also you dont have to bring the bike back to the dealership you bought it from. You can bring it to any dealership that sells your brand of motorcycle.
