Why are you guys changing your own oil?
In Britain we have to get the service schedule performed by a Honda agent during the warranty period which is 2 years.
After that it's advisable for resale value to keep using them, however most move to a cheaper independent with lower labour rates.
In Britain the first service is usually free. Or you just pay for the parts.
I intend to change my own oil and filter in between shop services, just because I'm an anally retentive old fart. However I don't get why you guys don't get it free?
Incidentally I had my first service done just prior to collecting the bike. It was 11 months old and 104 demo miles. I'm at 350 odd now and will change it again at 600-700 miles. Is that reasonable? Or should I go longer? Break in shrapnel all that?
