Not quite sure if we are different in Cornwall UK,but I have just had a 600 mile service,and it wasn't free but far from the $350.It says in the owner manual that you got with the bike: it's basically an all-oil change.
Here in the EU the first service is free because if you don't do it at a Honda dealer, you lose the 2 year warranty -- even if not free, 350USD+ is a ripoff. I wonder if that guy can still look at himself in the mirror after quoting that.
Tell me more about this broken fairing tab. The panel that covers the battery on mine will not click into place. Brought it to the dealers attention. Supposed to get back to me. It's been two weeks now."reputable" will be hard to defend in court ;-) Also, in Ireland, the dealers foot the bill for the broken left cowling tab as Honda Ireland doesn't even want to hear about it. Also, the 1st service is one thing and "some servicing" is another.
Anyway, I hope the OP finds a far more decent quote and gets the work done eventually.
My dealer did the first inspection and it was an oil change / drive case oil and generally just a "check over" of the bike to ensure that everything was tight and good....similar to a pre-delivery inspection.......only chargeD about $130 all in.......What exactly goes into the first service at 600 miles, and what kind of prices are dealers quoting? Mine said something north of $350.![]()
The dealer who serviced my CTX has two branches,one in Plymouth Devon,(which is the Yamaha agency) and a branch in Cornwall (which has the Honda agency) so I think they are well qualified,also,the technician told me that any warranty work could be carried out by them."reputable" will be hard to defend in court ;-) Also, in Ireland, the dealers foot the bill for the broken left cowling tab as Honda Ireland doesn't even want to hear about it. Also, the 1st service is one thing and "some servicing" is another.
Anyway, I hope the OP finds a far more decent quote and gets the work done eventually.
What kind of oil are you going to use?Going to do my first service in the next week. I will be doing it myself. Since all they do is oil and check for anything loose.. I got it.
I haven't figure that out yet.. just ordered an oil filter on amazon.What kind of oil are you going to use?![]()
