How Long Does It Take To Do The First Service Motorcycle

MadDog

Being a noob to all this myself, but even though I'1000 quite handy with the spanners, I will be taking my CBR back to Honda for it's showtime and all log book services. I could exercise the servicing myself but because of the warranty upshot I will need the stamps in the 'book'
I do realise that whatsoever qualified motorcycle mechanic can do the piece of work and stamp the book just how much are you going to salve by going to an contained mechanic?

Does anyone have that kind of a guide or noesis ? If i can access to this information, then we can evaluate if nosotros should accept it to a service or not.

the owners handbook lists all the items that need to be done on the various services.

BTW I voted yep fifty-fifty though whatever motorbike mechanic or most DIY mechanics volition have the tools/ equipment required.

Every bit others accept said, I would take the bike dorsum to the said dealer for the first service.

Make certain what's involved in it and bank check confronting the invoice that it's been done.

Many dealers practise a crap job and you may exist meliorate off doing simple services yourself. Simply on a new bicycle, if you lot don't get information technology serviced by a qualified mechanic, you may void the warrantee. This means that if something goes incorrect with the bike later, you have given them an out, even if it's nothing to do with what you did.

Get it serviced by a qualified mechanic.

I took my Z back to Kawasaki for its first service, and I'll never do that again. Wasn't happy with the way it was returned to me, so adjacent time I'll get a trusted mechanic I know to exercise it as per the log book.

I've had personal experience with A1 Motorcycles in Ringwood and they've been pretty practiced.

And they are authorised Honda dealers and then yous could potentially organise the service there.

Where abouts in Melbourne are you from?

As GreyBM said, Peter Stevens, A1 and all other dealers will non allow customers in their servicing expanse. But the staff are allowed..

So basically if you volume the service in, you tin can option up the bike the same day or even inside a few Hours (as in tiffin time etc) depending on how they operate.

NR take wheel sessions every at present and then and so keep an eye for those posts where y'all can larn to do simple things with the bike.
